So, a lot of packing peanuts are made of cornstarch now - you can melt them with water.
If you ever get a box that claims eco friendly, but is full of packing peanuts, try putting a few in water and squishing them before getting angry!
If they don’t fall apart, get even angier.

In case you didnt catch it, it is still loss - the panels follow the I II II L pattern inherent in all loss memes.

Another student told me he didn’t have a wife!

Unfortunately the chart wouldn’t be accurate. My hands vs, say, a French pastry chef are 2 very different numbers.
This is not anecdotal either, when I was in college the French pastry teacher loved pulling sheet pans full of bread out of the bread oven (which sits at 550F) and hand it to students barehanded.
If you asked him if his hands had any feeling in them, the answer was consistently ‘ask my wife!’
- Comment on "Upgrading" my Home Server setup 2 weeks ago:
I am fully aware of that, but i have free PCs, and no money for buying brand new dedicated equipment, so its going in a VM or two.

At $0.50/kwh, I probably wouldn’t bother charging my car, because gas would be cheaper!
And yeah, I am not surprised how fast it adds up, though charging my Escape PHEV is still visibly my biggest power cost, at least when it isn’t -10C for weeks on end (my pellet stove doesn’t like staying lit above -15C, not that pellets are any cheaper than space heaters…).

Actually, this (and a few other comments) made me double check my rates, and wow, I don’t think I would ever want to live somewhere with a $0.50/kwh rate - mine is between $0.12 and $0.14 depending on if I am over the 133 kWh threshold or not.
- Comment on "Upgrading" my Home Server setup 2 weeks ago:
I am trying to decide how to balance services, but running all 3 slightly less old computers will be less costly than the 2 very old computers I am currently running, due to them being on newer processor architecture.
I was definitely planning to have at least 2 running 24/7 though, specifically for having 2 pihole instances running, as well as having headscale and my tailscale exit node on separate devices (so that devices like my phone are still covered by the pihole).

That is a fair point on jellyfin needing the best CPU.
Was mostly asking about doing a swarm/cluster because i am unsure if there is a benefit, but i have the hardware, so if there is a benefit i wouldn’t mind setting it up.
On that note, what is recommended for a NAS OS?

If you want a bit more depth to the lamb check out the games social media pages - they have a lot of fully voiced clips of lore, shenanigans and shitposts.

Man, I have used that site so many times to relace shoes to be more comfortable - my spouse was given a pair that was unusable until I relaced them with one of the designs meant to help with the issue she was having, and even just last week I used the pattern that puts both ends on the outside of the shoes on a new paid I got.

This level of control is only good when you can bulk disable, or its opt-in. When its opt-out with individual clicks, its trash.

On windows 11, the task manager freezes as often as the programs do - and is absolutely useless when a program is frozen, it won’t even try to open until the issue is resolved most of the time.
- Comment on Microwave does not make room a flat, judge rules 4 months ago:
That burner is significantly nicer than what I looked at in Vancouver a few years back.
One time, we looked at a “2 bedroom” suite that was literally a tall, steep staircase to a door.
The door led to a small (twice the width of the staircase) space that had a counter with a portable 2 burner and 2 cabinets, and 3 other doors in the space - 1 “bedroom” the size of a queen bed (no closet, not legally a bedroom), 1 “living room” that was slightly larger, and a bathroom with the only sink, a toilet, and a 1 person shower.
We did not follow up with that listing.

To make the tea thing even better, in English when referring to Chinese black teas, they are called red tea instead… Because that’s the color of the liquid.
That being said, if its label says red tea, its probably way higher quality than the tea bags you have at home.
