I’m just this guy, you know?
You get what you pay for, though. I’ve had nothing but good experiences as an Amex card holder. You need to live a lifestyle that gives you opportunities to use the system, but you can offset the cost of even the Platinum charge card if you sign up for, and then use, all the perks.
For how I use it, I’d say it pays for itself.
edit to add: their customer service is always stellar, and their disputes department are really effective.
What brand of shirt do you wear? Also, which wrist do you prefer to wear a watch-- left, right or middle?
Excellent.
The tears will be delicious, and I shall slurp them.
SLURP THEM, I say!
It’ll be remembered a dark age when the lights go out and all the disks rot. And, if I know archaeologists, they’ll call our data centers ritual centers or temples.
Otherwise there will be disbelief at the inexplicably sophisticated engineering, and how we could have achieved it all with no written records. Probably it was all just ancient aliens.
You could source a pair of gigabit media converters and a length of fiber on Amazon for about $100. Just use the media converters to extend the Ethernet port from where the Internet hands off in your house over to your office. You can affix the fiber along baseboards and up over door frames with adhesive cleats and zip ties, or those nylon staples on a nail they use to tack down coax cable.
If you’re willing to spend a little more on the fiber for a custom color, you can probably even order the fiber in a more neutral color than SMF yellow to blend into the trim better.
The rankness of a fart can be expressed in decibel-Farts (dBF), a logarithmic scale where dBF = 10 log10(F1/F2).
Characterizing F in standard units is a bit of a chore, but broadly speaking the resolution concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in air for humans-- the concentration at which 50% of people can detect its odor-- is about 4.73ppb, or 4.73 x 10^-9.
A cubic meter of air at sea level (1 atm or 760mmHg) at 15°C contains about 2.53 x 10^25 molecules of mixed gasses. Scaling to a cubic meter, the volume for detection of H2S for humans would be about 1.19 x 10^17 H2S molecules per cubic meter. This value is your F2, our reference intensity for detecting farts.
A typical human fart has a concentration of anywhere between .001ppm and 1ppm of H2S concentration, or between 1x10^-9 and 1x10^-6, or scaled to between 2.53x10^19 and 2.53x10^22 H2S molecules in a cubic meter of air.
Therefore the rankness of a typical fart could be expressed as a decibel ratio vs the resolution density falling somewhere between 23dBF and 53dBF.
This is a useful expression of rankness for modeling attenuation over time, accounting for dispersion, wind drift, and distance from the zero point.
That’s the neat part, you don’t!
Just Jersey things.
Da fuq? That was hilarious. Also, maybe.

I happen to have LMDE installed on a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 (Gen 3) tablet. It has a stylus that takes a AAAA (yes, quad-A) battery. Its an i5 or i7 Intel processor, and has a 3k Wacom sensor display. I’ve played with Inkscape on it and I think it fits the bill nicely, but it’s also discontinued.
Cinnamon was the only DE with DPI scaling that worked worth a damn, and also had good native support for screen autorotation and onscreen keyboard.
I need to completely wipe and reinstall the system now because I configured my slices too small, and for some reason decided not to put root in an LVM like a sane person would have (it was 2017 tho. Different times…)
Anyhoo, if you can come by one through the refurb market, I think it comes closest to your spec, saving the no-battery stylus.
Sometimes I use nutella & orange marmalade 🤫
I’m a junkie for YouTube maker videos and other forms of creative infotainment. I binge on This Old Tony and Farmcraft101 videos, but I also listen to several podcasts adjacent to my (rather technical) professional sector.
Ugh, and politics. Stresses me out too.
The article discusses several classes of medication, and calls out a few brands. Here’s the digested list:
Short story longer, if you regularly take any of these classes of drugs and heat advisories are actove, be sure to follow precautions and stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activities, wear loose, light colored clothing, and consider adopting a neat looking wide-brim hat as part of your summer “look.” I’m going to shill for Tilley hats here, because they’re rugged construction, timelessly stylish, and are appropriate in most situations.
That’s a darn tasty lookin’ Pasta Carbonara.
If you’ve ever played Paranoia RPG (1984), you know how this ends. At least in the game you had clones for when you got fragged by the computer.

They’re chocolate curls. You can find then and similar products searching for “dark/white chocolate twists.” They’re not uncommon to find in bougie cafes, coffee shops and bakeries.
That’s almost exactly what I was looking for! I even tried searching stainless mesh on Amazon and it kept steering me to screen door meshes & chicken wire.
The new AI algorithms suuuuck.
