If you can swing it, keep the old PC parts around and put Linux on the old stuff and build up confidence there. I used synergy to move my mouse between windows and Linux and slowly got to the point I felt good enough to jump all in.

Reading the GitHub page for pythonz makes it seem a little easier to get into than pyenv. I think that might just be documentation learning curve though. Have you tried both?

Yep! And it’s per account. Both of my Linux machines are in this months data!

PARTIALLY!? The Vision shipped without a lens cover. It did ship with a cover for the outside face.

I went looking but couldn’t find a reference. US Air Force Plant 4 in Fort Worth (where the F-35 is assembled) was at one point the longest length building without internal support columns. I’ve been told that there is a twin building somewhere else, but the one in Texas is 25 feet longer. I just can’t find a source with the number!

I used that so much when I was creating purchase orders. Nobody needs to know how I got to that page.

I’ve got some that pulls the picture from Bing and the picture from NASA and set them to my wall paper and lock screen back grounds.

I’ve got another one that silences my phone when I’m at work or church and not connected to my car blue tooth. I used something similar in college to silence my phone when a calendar event was happening. My phone never made a peep during a lecture! It resets volumes to normal levels after the silent period is done.

I used tasker to slowly ramp up my bedroom lights before my alarm goes off. Makes it easier to get up and not as jaring.

Not from a bar directly, but on the walk back from the bars. I picked up a brick paver. They had just finished laying everything down in the courtyard of a new building and there was 1 brick sitting there. I looked for spot to drop that brick into close by, but I didn’t see a spot. So I carried it home!

My fluids professor told us about that when someone asked why do we have wood on the material roughness tables. No one believed him so he brought in a small section of a wood pipe he took from a construction site.

I logged into mine a month or 2 ago and realized I was still in tutorial island. I had totally forgotten where I left my character! It was a fantastic experience to go through the F2P quests and leveling again.

I was actually on the fence between that one and the non f for a lower power server build. Something that would finally put my 7700k to rest.

Manheim Steamroller put out a Summer Song album that has some great rain sounds with relaxing music.

I’ve been very happy with a couple of indexers that I have paid for. I haven’t needed to really jump into the invite only world. There really is A LOT of content available easily. I’m sure more niche content might need more select access, but for me I haven’t gotten there. There was one Charlie Brown I have on VHS that took forever to find a better copy of, but I did eventually get a better version.

I would go back and introduce semantic versioning in the 60s.

3-6 months is plenty. At the 6 months mark you take literally any job you can get and then keep looking for one that you want. The other site had a pretty good personal finance community. Their flowchart does a great job of summarizing things. https://i.imgur.com/lSoUQr2.jpeg

Shopping houses right now. I’m really focusing on the HVAC, roof, and plumbing. Oh and water. I saw one house where it didn’t have gutters on a short eave and the door below was mostly rotted out in the bottom 2 feet from water slashing on to it. It boggles the mind that no one had thought to put a gutter there. Literally a 8 foot section of gutter would save that door and frame.

I’ve been staring at python for too long. I read your comment like it was a function

def Disco_Elysium():
    raise Warning("there is no going back")

My mom had one for 20 years before the motor finally gave up. Got a new one of the same model to replace it and it’s still going 15 years later.

I’ve got a Miele canister vacuum and it has way more options than I really need, but man is it easy to work with just like the Oreck was. The nice part with the canister is that I can use it for anything. Except water. Get the ShopVac for that.

Probably at some point in the past yes. Now they’ve been combined with Singer and a few other brands under these guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVP_Worldwide?wprov=sfla1 who in turn are owned by an equity group so expect the enshitification to really ramp up.
