You can get a Dell micro Optiplex for less money and have a full fledged i5 or i7 processor with similar power usage.

Absolutely, I’ve got a cluster of mini PCs with 7th/8th gen T sku i7s, plus an Optiplex SFF running a standard i7-7700, and everything together draws less than 100W on average.

Well now I can’t unhear that, thanks.

Me too.

My coworker is an air force vet. I just told him, with zero context, “it wasn’t the war thunder forums this time”. He closed his eyes, sighed, and shook his head, then went back to what he was doing.

This is so on-the-nose.

I wish it were that easy in the US.

Yep. Most websites make it intentionally difficult to reject this stuff by giving you a single “ACCEPT ALL” button and then burying each individual actual setting behind multiple menus and dropdowns, some of which are deliberately obfuscated, sometimes with odd color choices for the toggle that make it difficult to determine whether the option is actually on or off.

Some websites offer a “Reject All” option, but they are few and far between.

Fuck Teams, all my homies hate Teams

Yeah, Pebble watches have a pretty loyal fanbase (including myself), and the r/pebble subreddit has been active for years despite the fact that they’ve been defunct for almost a decade. Google open-sourced the OS in January, Eric made announcements about creating a new company to make new PebbleOS-based watches, then yesterday his website (link in this post) started a countdown.

Now here we are.

I’m going to wait and see how these new watches fare in terms of reliability. I wasn’t a fan of the Pebble 2 and it’s issues, but that’s supposedly been resolved. These new units use essentially the same design, but with better materials and reinforcements.

This isn’t Pebble, Google owns that. This is Eric’s new company, Core Devices, the spiritual successor to Pebble.

I’ve taught my kids that they are under no obligation to participate in such pointlessly performative acts. I have my brother to thank for that, he defied the pledge when he was in high school. It planted a seed for me.

Our landlord goes through a local management company. It’s something, I guess.

She really is wonderful.

👏…👏…👏…👏…👏…

I should! Just gotta grab her wedding ring so I can size a ring for her!

Seriously though, we actually joke about that all the time. We were good friends back in high school (way back in the 2000s), but “took the long way around” (long story), then reconnected and finally got married a couple years ago. Worked out great.

My wife was digging around under our bed for something and asked me to help pull her out, so I ran up and cried “oh no step-wife, you’re stuck” and briefly dry humped her (don’t worry I pulled ^her out). She said she bruised her ribs from laughing so hard 😂

My wife and I both decided that we would be cremated instead of buried, and then have our ashes combined and shot into space… or the ocean. Whichever is more practical. That way we can adventure together for the rest of time.

That aside… I was talking with one of my buddies last night. He has a house, and I’ve lamented being stuck renting forever. He tries really hard to see the good in whatever situation may come, and my situation is no exception. He started listing off all of the issues he’s had with his house, even after essentially re-engineering the electrical and water systems, and almost the entire supporting structure. I guess it helped, I mean if my water heater decides to take a shit, I can just call the landlord and they’ll handle it…

Sure thing boss
