  … Obviously …

  I was providing information in the hopes of it being useful.

  A long time ago, I lived in Maryland and a woman moved in with me from … I forget where, actually, but the west coast. I remember when she first got there we were out on my balcony and she was shivering in a sweater and sweatpants, while I was very comfortable in shorts and a T-shirt.

  Acclimatization is real.

  It’s like plumage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar is winning the energy race - The world’s cheapest power source is scaling at warp speed, pushing coal, gas and nuclear aside⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t disagree that it was insane!

  But no, the reason is that I live in a decently sized old house in a cold area. We’ve dual zone climate control and I’m not sure either heat pump stopped running the whole month. I do run some servers but that’s true year round and most months my power bill is in various parts of triple digits.

  … My power bill for February was $1900 …

  This is a better-put way of expressing an opinion I’ve long held.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the first game you ever bought ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure it was Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. I don’t actually remember buying it and might have played Warcraft 2 beforehand, but I spent many … Many happy hours on DF2. One of those two was my introduction to multiplayer gaming, but for sure I spent a lot more time on DF2.

  As for whether it was worth it, it arguably shaped a lot of my life to date. Also I met at least one friend whom I still talk to (though rarely) to this day. I would say yes.

  I’m just glad you were able to remember your username!

  Recently I went to the hospital for a surgery. It was scheduled for 0630 and they told me no food or drink after 1800 the previous night. I heeded that. At 1100 they told me they were cancelling the surgery.

  I said “does this mean I can have some water?” They laughed and brought me 28oz of ginger ale. It was delicious.

  It seems likely those goals will align fairly promptly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True love⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t almost everyone a namee? That is, someone who has been on the receiving end of a name?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a nice blue and black dress.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what he says. Just do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interviews with the Computer Underground - Episode I: Santiago Roland, Administrator of Undernet.uy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t clicked the link yet, but the thumbnail and title remind me of *When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth*.

  The glasses are within the house.

  Where did his glasses go?

  Sorry, which job are we talking about again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German man says american are savages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I post that list to all of the social media accounts I made before I realized that privacy is important, will they get deleted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Put the shoes on⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dave Barry posited a very similar theory about black socks, IIRC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men wanna be me, women wanna be with me.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They have it at IKEA and I think Costco as well. It’s fun but takes a very small amount of time to adjust.

  My brother might be coming the other way! 

  (It is gratifying that if you do a DDG search for this phrase, the top result is a video of someone running a red light.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: BAD⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel this very strongly - I could even have written this comment - but I’d like to mention that Adventure Time is amazing … Two seasons in. Before that, it’s not a good show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firearm Advice⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate both your joke and, most especially, your username.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I once asked, or at least implied, a similar question. I never got a response; you are fortunate!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I gotcha, boss⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How did he punch himself over the internet? I can only imagine a boxing glove with an API.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I gotcha, boss⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Holy fuck.

   … Vimes? Or is there another of which I’m unaware?

  I could get the same result with ssh-keygen!
