Looks aside, I’ll bet visibility is incredible, at least from the front. And I think that at least my mail carrier will appreciate having air conditioning. We still have a lot of the old LLV’s here and it was 105 and humid all summer.

Hate to break it to you, but nostalgia will probably make them cool. Nostalgia is the rosiest of tints.

Got it. Full of holes. Uhh…what caliber, sir?

Cheetahs have always been my favorite. It’s not that they’re the fastest land animal that fascinates me, but how. Dogs are so funny to watch run because they’re so goofy, but even the fastest dogs get going maybe 40 miles an hour. They spend a lot of time off the ground in their stride. And if you’re not in contact with the ground, you’re slowing down. Cheetahs keep their strides very low to the ground and spend little time in the air. Additionally, their long, muscular, flexible spine allows them to treat it kind of like a leaf spring. And the long tails are gorgeous.

And if that wasn’t enough, they meow and purr, too.

Imagine dual booting Windows lol

Hell yeah animation is ok, and Gavity Falls is a solid 10/10 choice.

Between my brother, a mutual friend, and myself, we have over 1,800 collective hours in Borderlands 2. That was probably my favorite game for about 5 years. It’s fun enough on your own, but the game gets a million times between with co-op.

I thought the Pre-Sequel was pretty good. The low grav mechanic was a fun addition, and the moon being populated by Aussies was a nice touch. Borderlands 3 was kinda meh. We all had high hopes for it. It’s a pretty good game, but its greatest weakness is that Borderlands 2 exists.

Not how my experience went. You read the books, you got the points, and (assuming you were doing well in every other aspect of the class), you got an A. But if you struggled with reading (as I did in school), you got poor grades despite the fact that your grammar, writing, and spelling were otherwise excellent. Very rarely did I get a teacher who rewarded reading; most of them punished my failure to read.

My first job out of college was in a hospital. When you see doctors outside of their own setting, you quickly realize that >90% of them are pretty stupid at literally everything else. I was an accountant processing travel reimbursements for business-related professional expenses (mostly vacations disguised as conferences and workshops for CMEs) and many of them just could NOT understand why they weren’t allowed to claim alcohol on their travel reimbursements. Literally, the IRS will not allow it. And even if it did, state law forbids it, too. Sometimes, I got angry emails because they couldn’t claim miles for taking a detour to visit a relative before going to their destination after I adjusted it as if they drove directly from work to the airport. Shit like that. I was good friends with the IT guy there and he had many similar gripes. Most of his job was arriving on-site to plug machines in because they swore up and down on the phone that the machine was plugged in.

I’m convinced the majority of doctors are just average intelligence people who spent a decade practicing and mastering a skill. That’s it. Anyone can be a doctor if they can be allowed into med school and sink the time and effort into becoming one.

I use Flat Circle. It’s not free, though.

My wife really really really wanted a MacBook in 2020 and the major plus of having it is that I got to steal all the fonts. Mostly, I just wanted Helvetica lol

Was this made by my wife? Are you her? She really has to know all the minutiae of the flow before deciding whether it’s worth going with.

Not a dig at her, btw. It can be frustrating to deal with in the moment (I’m more go with the flow than she is), but when we get there and everything goes smoothly, I genuinely appreciate her already having it figured out.

Idk about you, but I feel a great sense of freedom using Linux.

In terms of “many versions,” my advice: Mint if you loved the Windows UI, Ubuntu if you want regular updates, Debian if you want rock solid reliability. That’s it. That’s all you need to know if you’re new to Linux. Skip everything else until you’re comfy, or if you like it, stay a while. There is nothing wrong with either of the three. You’ll learn to hate Snap on Ubuntu, and once you do, just install Debian.

My school is in a nicer town tucked away in the armpit of Southwest Oklahoma. The library was actually quite well stocked and had lots of books in the system. We even had two copies of all the Harry Potter books. Side note: One year, I heard the movies were pretty faithful to the source material so I watched a few of them and did really well one year because of it. We had a copy of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, which was worth a whopping 118 points and I’m sure was never touched. I’m sure it’s still in there. There were a whole two shelves stacked full of Louis L’Amour, and I had a western kick in the 10th grade so that was convenient. I liked Bendigo Shafter and Comstock Lode. The Walking Drum is also a good book.

My suggestion would be that instead of tying AR points to kids’ grades, create a rewards system to incentivize reading. I can’t speed read, and the pressure of being on a time crunch for something that negatively impacts my grade if I can’t finish on time was always disheartening and took away from any joy I could have derived from books. Most of the kids in my class could finish one or two books in a school week. My wife will tear through one in a day or two. A similar book is a 10-14 day minimum investment for me. I’ve learned to accept that about myself in adulthood, but man, it really made me feel terrible in school because English, language, writing, spelling, and related subjects were always some of my favorites. Always being behind my peers because of my reading soured the experience for a long time.

I don’t know if this is an ADHD thing or just not liking being told what to do (perhaps some of Column A, little of Column B), but god did I hate reading when I was made to in school. I’ll spend hours reading Wikipedia articles on some niche shit. I’ve spent plenty of time reading books I liked on my own time. But meeting my Accelerated Reader points goals was always a slog, and I’ve grown to really resent the system.

Mine dates to '09. It’s been dead since '14. I only keep it around to use Marketplace since Craigslist is basically dead.

Well your first problem is using Google.

Gotta use Duck Duck Go + Tor + VPN on a burner phone you can yeet into the middle of international waters when you’re done. Make sure to sink the boat while you’re there, too. That way, under international law, nobody owns it.

I’d argue it’s not always comfortable for them. Consider how hot black pavement can get on a summer day. I never make my dog walk across a parking lot when it’s been baking under a 100 degree sun. I carry him to a shaded area, at least.

Ever short a car battery? Even 12 volts gets pretty scary pretty quick when you send it at like 700 amps.
