I’m right handed but I use my left hand to type and navigate my phone. I also have my number pad on the left hand side of the keyboard.

Ground control noticed helium leaks and the spacecraft had a cluster of thrusters fail. That’s not almost dying in a horrific way.

Wensleydale?

Get a dish towel wet and use that to swat at the fly. The weight of the water and the extra length of the towel let’s you get it going faster than the fly can react.

Put one foot in front of the other And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor Put one foot in front of the other And soon you’ll be walking out the door

Sorry. That’s the best advice I can give

This is correct, but they do make portable units with two hoses. Those will be as efficient as a window unit. Costco sells dual hose models for a few hundred dollars. I have one and it works well for heating and cooling.

Buddy, I just shit your pants.

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:

• Fuel injection
• Front disc brakes
• Power brakes
• Automatic transmission
• FM radio
• Bluetooth
• Backup camera
• A damn rear view mirror (Wikipedia says this was optional on the Pontiac)
• Air conditioning
• Power steering
• Airbags
• Crumple zones
• Seat belts
• Traction control
• Anti-lock brakes
• Same power, but vastly improved fuel economy
• 1,000 lbs of weight savings
• Radial tires
• Halogen headlights
• Reverse lights

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:

• 2023+ Subaru Outback.
• Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator (compounded by having a factory or aftermarket lift)
• Hyundai Palisade

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:

• Toyota Prius
• Tesla Model 3/Y

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:

• Ford F-Series trucks with quad halogen headlamps
• Dodge trucks
• Chevy Cruze (or some other small to midsize American sedan, I can’t tell)

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.
