You can assemble a sub at home in just the time it took you to drive one way. ‘Fast’ food being the slower and more expensive option has resulted in many, many more at-home meals for me.

Agreed. A karma total is a negative part of Reddit, and caused people to seek bigger number even harder than they already do.

“How impressed everybody is” is the basis of money, law, self-worth and our models of reality

Money

Is it? I don’t try to impress anybody with money I do or don’t have. If you do, consider not doing so. You might find your finances in a better state.

self-worth

Don’t, I repeat, do not base your self worth on what other people think. Listen to their input and make yourself the best person you can be. But if you only have self-worth due to how impressed your neighbors are, you are going to have a very poor life as you make a continued bad decisions.

Law

There are vanishingly few laws that are centered around impressing anybody. The core theme to is to create laws that best allow for the functioning of society. For some easy examples, lack of criminalizing murder, lack of property rights, or lack of a tax code all fuck up modern society pretty quick.

our models of reality

I’m not sure how ‘impressing others’ is part of this at all? Our model of reality, ie physics, chemistry, math, have nothing to do with impressing others?

Yeah, your suggestion is the only thing I could think that would even work, but honestly, it’s probably more trouble than it is worth.

An alternative which doesn’t quite meet the requirements, but will be much lower effort would be to format the drive(s) as exFat, which both Windows and Linux can read without issue. Then put them up as a network share in both OSes.

If you are wanting RAID 1 with those two drives…this won’t work unless you are either using hardware raid (maybe you can set it in your bios?) or if you can find a software raid that both windows and linux use. For RAID, maybe just pick one OS and that will be the one that has the share.

I would also recommend against the SSD caching idea with all this other stuff in the mix, wait till you have a dedicated NAS PC. You are going to pull your hair out otherwise.

OP, do you have an old computer, even an old laptop? A NAS doesn’t require much computing power. You can plug your drives in via a SATA to USB adapter. Then you will have a dedicated NAS box and all these problems get 500x easier.

Since I do quite a bit of gaming, 2k/120hz by a far margin. The fewer pixels makes it easier to turn the graphics up more, and the extra frame-rate cap allows for games to be nice and smooth.

My main display is actually a 2k/144hz screen right now. :)

That second graph is a doozy. What is driving the two? I’m assuming the Trump plan involves a cut to capital gains tax?

Your best bet is to pickup a new flash drive. Luckily, a quality 256 gb flash drive is like $25 now.

7zip also allows for higher compression levels than the built in Windows tool. Would check that out as well.

Realistically, one would just dig down half a foot, break up the concrete, cut the post, then backfill the dirt. Put any new post you need a foot to the side. No reason to remove the boulder.

Supply and demand! Everyone went to college and is looking for white collar jobs, thus there is a labor shortage in the construction/contracting industry that is leading to rising prices. Getting a job in the trades is pretty solid right now.

I don’t have a number for you, but get 2-3 quotes. Labor is expensive, it’s going to be your main cost here, not materials.

Basically every quote I have gotten for anything has been a much higher number than I would have liked by a good margin. Been doing more and more stuff myself as a result. If you get sticker shock at your quotes, a fence replacement is very much so in the realm of something you can do yourself.

Why wouldn’t it cook a non-bread?

• You will almost certainly have to stick a fork down into the vertical style bread toaster to retrieve the hotdog, which is hella unsafe.
• It’s also almost impossible to clean the vertical style ones, which isn’t a problem for bread since the extra bits just burn off, but it is a problem for other foods like meats, as bits can easily rot in there.
• Meats can also drip grease onto the elements, which will cause a fire.

I’m not sure what cookware you have, but it sounds like you may be pretty limited on choices/space. I would highly recommend swapping the vertical toaster for a toaster oven. As they are basically little ovens that you can cook almost anything in, including toast and hotdogs.

If you are talking about the vertical style bread toaster, don’t cook anything that isn’t bread in those. If you are talking about a toaster oven, you can wrap it in foil and bake it.

A solid alternative, and what makes a hotdog’s flavor really pop, is cutting it into 6-10 pieces and pan frying it.

Brother laser printers just work. They don’t have all the bs that inkjets have and they certainly don’t put you through all the crap HP makes one endure. Highly, highly recommend them.

The best printer is still whatever random Brother laser printer is on sale.

Baldur’s Gate 3, good for up to four player coop.

Borderlands 1 & 2, too.

Brave Browser + AdGuard is also good at blocking youtube ads.

I’m not sure how much time you are given and how much ‘hands on’ is desired, but you could buy a bunch of cheap, old, used desktops (that all use the same parts) and teach the kids what the various parts do (CPU, GPU, motherboard, PSU, SSD, RAM). Then have them build the computers and install linux on them.

Maybe pre-wire the PSU to most of the parts to save time during the build day(s). You may also want to have the CPUs pre-installed so you don’t get bent pins galore.

This entire idea would be massively benefited by a TA that could assist working with groups.

Unless you are retiring in the next decade, it is highly advisable to invest a 401k in the stock market. You get significantly higher returns over the long run. And any losses due to a recession are more than made up for by the significantly higher returns every other year.

When you are nearing retirement (5-10 years out), that is when you want to put the money into something safe and stable like bonds or CDs. That way if there is a recession as you retire, it won’t affect your fund.

Stocks are 293% higher today than they were at the peak of 2007. Even if they bought all of their stock at that peak right before the 2008 recession, the market had fully recovered by 2012. It isn’t the market keeping them from retiring…

On that note, it makes a ton of sense to take full advantage of 401k plans. At least put it enough for the company match to max out, and preferably put more in to cap out the annual limit for it. That isn’t possible for everyone, but it’s both tax advantaged and pre-tax money, so an extra $500/mo into the 401k is NOT $500 removed from your post-tax pay.

Even before, people would often work later into life. Many people are fucking terrible with money and if spent poorly, you may need a job even with the pension.
