- Comment on Can a laptop docking station be used on a KVM switch? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve done this before with a laptop and KVM switch. It worked fine. YMMV depending on the dock and switch in question though. The only issue I ran into was needing separate cables for the mouse/keyboard and video from the switch to the dock.

I, too, enjoy being investigated by the USPIS
- Comment on For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream? 3 weeks ago:
IIRC, California overproduces electricity during sunny summer days due to solar, but solar production drops in the evenings right when demand is peaking due to people getting home from work and cooking dinner and whatnot. There are better applications for that energy than desalination though - battery storage right now, and maybe running electrolyzers for green hydrogen production someday in the future.
- Comment on For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream? 3 weeks ago:
It usually makes more sense to pump water to a nearby reservoir uphill. That water can be released back through turbines when solar production is lower - pumped hydro are basically giant batteries. So not so much pumping it back upstream, but a similar idea, just without expensive desalination.
- Comment on Is there a subsect of the minimalist community that's focused on portable living? 5 weeks ago:
There was (is?) a subreddit called /r/onebag that might be like this. It was sort of minimalism taken to the extreme of condensing your possessions to a single bag. Definitely some overlap with the digital nomad community too
