KDE Connect is real slick, but brutal on battery life for me

I really hope you’re at least getting paid to post this badly my dude

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change

Courage to change the things I can

And wisdom to know the difference

Alternatively, “don’t worry be happy”. There’s a lot to be upset about, but if it doesn’t make things better what’s the point? Extend your sense of self as widely as you can, and try to be patient and kind with the oneness you are a tiny part of. It is so easy to get caught up in empty struggle for struggle’s sake. Always act for love, never from fear. Move towards what you want rather than just away from what you don’t. And no matter who you are, know that I love you and want you to be happy :)

Interesting such an old, trite example went over your head. Classic for a reason and very true imo. Filament lightbulbs were engineered to burn out regularly and require replacement, that doesn’t make the point you’re going for. Broad spectrum antibiotics breed resistant strains and require new formulations, especially when aggressively marketed and overprescribed because more use=more money. Again not a great example. Vaccine development has historically been funded and promoted by government as a cost-effective way of maintaining a workforce, not exactly a shining endorsement of profit motive. I’m genuinely having a hard time believing you’re dumb enough to make these arguments in good faith and kinda done here

I had a whole thing about my setup here, but it was more than I want to share. Short version, panels are cheaper, easier to deal with, and longer lasting than you think. Most manufacturers guarantee 80% capacity after 30 years, area covered is more important than max output, there’s no need to buy the whole thing at once, 3-5k no more than 1200 at a time over a few years can get a lot of people all they need

The perfect drug would cost exactly as much as a patient can produce while maintaining themselves. This is not an original or hypothetical example. Treatment is more profitable than cure.

Well, my original suggestion was to befriend a rancher… not an expert and can’t speak as to exactly how widespread it is (or even if this was legal I guess), but anecdotally all it took was asking around a little. Nice spot on a hill, few people/critters already buried there, felt right, cost nothing. Two generations in and I’d like to be a third. If that’s not widely accessible I wish it were, from this end I’ve never heard of a $7k human composting service and it sounds way crazier to me than just getting buried in a pasture

Energy (read: oil) companies don’t invest in “green energy” for the same reason pharma companies don’t research cures

They would unplug our isp provided modem and take it to bed with them, so I tracked down another one from the manufacturer and copied the eeprom from theirs onto it. It was a simpler time :p

I’m old enough you have to replace “cracking neighbors wifi” with cloning our modem and “youtube” with funny pictures from irc homies, but same. Working around internet access restrictions was a milestone between fun things I could do with computers and how they really worked

Congrats, pretty sure “mom took away my internet” is the primary entry point for IT professionals

Fuck your government, cover your roof in panels and enjoy. Simple as

You seem to have linked to the entire wikipedia article on body disposal, possibly without reading it. Here’s a map, some info from a funeral home, and legal advice state by state. Sorry if this is too US-centric, that’s where I’ve been through the process five times.

Holy bourgeoise, batman! Just befriend a rancher. We are all compost in training, it’s not that hard

e: fr tho, nothing illegal about just getting dropped in a hole as-is on private property most places

We called it a graveyard, still works lol

You know how when you were a kid you’d mix all the flavours from the soda fountain?

Zip it, snitch!

Fucked up if true

My friend, have you considered cleaning the valve ~once every 10 years as opposed to beating it monthly? It’s not hard to do!
