I take a 30 to 40 minute walk (2 miles) every day at work. Sometimes it’s to clear my head. Sometimes it’s to think about work. Sometimes it’s to think about not work. No one cares, and if they did, I’d argue it’s time well spent for the company. I can’t get anything done if my brain is overflowing with crap.
Man, a work LAN party would be pretty cool.
Then why are you here?
Sure, the Versa is a crummy, low trim model. But look at what you get in the Versa compared to the Pontiac despite that:
The list goes on I’m sure. It costs more because you get so much more stuff, a lot of which is for safety.
Logseq has tags. Logseq does store data in markdown files. There’s one file for each page.
I haven’t tried Obsidian, but I use Logseq all the time. What do you think is holding Logseq back? I’m just curious.
I know for me the mobile app lacks some polish and it lacks plugins, which is annoying.
I’ve had excellent luck with this kit from Sylvania.
The two cars I’ve used it on had their headlights stay clear after I polished them since you coat them with a UV protective layer. Make sure to follow the instructions! If it says to polish for X minutes, make sure you polish for X minutes. It’ll take some time but it’s totally worth it.
Hell yeah. Though, I do get strange looks when I’m giving a thumbs up or down to an inanimate object…
For the most part, I agree. LEDs are not the problem. The problem is either moronic drivers, or poor implementation of LED lights. As a driver of a very low car, the vast majority of my complaints about bright lights boils down to lifted trucks with ridiculous light bars, LEDs bulbs in halogen housings, or dufoids driving with their highbeams on. It doesn’t matter if the highbeams are halogen or LED, they’re both blinding.
That being said, there are cars with LED headlights that are blinding from the factory:
Then there are the cars that are designed by morons that have all instruments in the center console. That makes it harder for drivers to see when their LED highbeams are on:
But there are plenty of cars with LED headlights that I don’t have any issues with. In my experience, Mercedes and Audi seem to do a particularly good job of having bright lights for the driver without blinding anyone else.
And there are plenty of other cars with halogen headlights that are blinding from the factory too:
The luddites who want to strap jam jars with glowworms in them to the front of new cars are being ridiculous. Properly aimed LEDs are so much safer.
When I got my new car with LED headlights, I couldn’t believe how much more I could see. I could see fae down the road. Retroreflectors on lane markings far beyond the reach of my beams are visible. Pedestrians running across the street against the light wearing all black (true story) are visible! Despite clear lenses, new bulbs, and being correctly aimed, the halogen lights in my old Civic barely reached 100 feet down the road. My other halogen bulbed vehicle is better, but it’s still a far cry from what I’m used to now.
Woah! I didn’t know they made heat pump ice cream makers (for non commercial users) at a decent price.
Most of the space heaters that I’ve seen are like 1,500 watts. According to the UPS this computer is plugged into, it consumes around 650 watts. So it’s not as powerful as a space heater, but when the exhaust is pointed directly at your legs, it gets plenty warm.
Instead of using a space heater like everyone else, I run Folding@Home on one of my work machines to pump out a few hundred watts of heat. That way at least someone is getting some Alzheimer’s research out of burning that electricity.
Last I checked, Homo erectus didn’t spend a lot of time walking around on concrete. Nor did they have bicycles.
No matter the mode of transportation, in a built up environment where you’re moving on smooth surfaces where ice can form easily, you need some form of de-icing, sanding, and/or studded tires/shoes.
A good wool suit is quite insulating. I wore a 3 piece wool suit this summer when it was a bit warm. I wasn’t really sweating any more than I would be if I was wearing shorts and a Tee shirt.
Modern safety advances don’t make pedestrian impacts moot. I’m over 6 feet tall. If I got run over in my car, a small hatchback, the car would hit my legs below the knee, and I’d be tossed onto the hood and windshield. This will increase the impact time, reduce the acceleration my body experiences, and decrease my injuries.
Meanwhile, a modern stock full sized pickup truck will hit me square in the chest. I’d basically be dead. I’m lucky enough to be tall enough that my head appears over the hood, so the driver would have a chance to see me. Shorter adults and children have much worse odds at being seen.
For giggles, I stood next to a coworker’s Kona. If it hit me, I’d be hit in my mid to upper thigh.
Modern safety advances are only so good. If my small car is hit by a stock pickup truck, their bumper is going to miss my bumpers at best. At worst it’ll go through my windows.
There is a place for large vehicles, but honestly most people don’t need them. And those that do would be better served with a safer designed vehicle (like a minivan).
I’ve managed to fit 4 college aged men in an early 2000s Honda Civic, along with a month’s worth of Costco purchases for them without much difficulty. I’ve never thought, “I want a bigger vehicle.” If I do need a bigger vehicle, I can rent it.
What do you mean small cars have never handled well? Honda built their entire brand on small, affordable, reliable, well handling cars. Small cars have less mass to get in the way of good handling. What mass small cars do have is lower to the ground, which improves handling. Unlike large American vehicles, small cars have innovative features, like independent suspension. That improves handling. The only poorly handling small car I’ve ever driven was a Smart car, and that was only because I got seasick from the short wheelbase and soft suspension rocking me back and forth.
I’ve driven a variety pickups, jeeps, large SUVs. All felt as sure footed as a toddler learning to walk. They flobber about. 600 year old buildings lean less than them in corners. Steering inputs are suggestions. Empty truck beds lead to poor traction. The brakes leave a lot to be desired.
I agree. I’ve also gotten shafted by used cars (7th generation Honda Civics are all utter pieces of garbage). I don’t take depreciation into account on a new car because I plan on driving it until it’s uneconomical to repair, which means it’ll be worthless when I sell it regardless.
My parents have only purchased one used car, and it was a nearly new car from someone they knew and trusted. The other 4 cars they’ve bought in the past 40 years have been new. They keep them until they’re old and basically worthless.
Bumblebees are super chill and cute.
My grandma was stung by a bumblebee after she ignored it bumping into her for 10 minutes. She was working in the garden next to its nest. I can’t think of another organism that has that kind of patience.
How bad does her shit smell? My cat has Inflammatory Bowl Disease. When she has a flare up, her shit smells absolutely horrific, she strains a lot, and poop often ends up outside the litterbox.
The other suggestions in this thread are great. I’d add take her to the vet and explain the situation. Also see if they can express her anal glands. My cat also had massively clogged anal glands which didn’t help anything.
Good luck.

I can’t speak for KDE, but I run Linux Mint Cinnamon with a 1440p 144Hz monitor and a 1080p 60 Hz monitor. Everything worked except that the refresh rate for all my monitors was capped at the lowest rate either monitor could handle, which was 60Hz. I just went without the 2nd 1080 monitor so I could get 144Hz all the time.
Buddy, I just shit your pants.
