Make a way bigger bucket list and actually start competing it.

No, I was late to the party… Only 26 days, but it feels like a month!

A bit unrelated. I was a bit drunk in Kmart one night around Christmas. I tried on an elf hat that played music and started dancing. My wife thought it was funny and took a video with her phone. Well… she posts it on Facebook and it is seen by some people I rather would not like to see it. Lesson learned. Never do anything in public that you don’t want everyone to see.

Yes, with a 10 year gap. There are too many good books to read to reread the ones I liked on the first read. Always reread the classics first.

Give Kubuntu a try. It is my favorite so far. It uses the plasma desktop though.

Agreed.

I remain a cautiously optimistic observer of the EV market. And if I do decide to take that plunge it will not be a Tesla. Even if he manufactured a perfect car, he has alienated me with his personality and rhetoric.

I have but they are not the best sources for unbiased information. Some worship Musk and he can do nothing wrong while others have dumped their Teslas even at a loss and either went back to ICE or found a better alternative. EV’s remind me of the beginning of the PC market. I had an Adam, then a Leading Edge Model D 8088 etc. Every year something better came out. 286, 386, 486 all seemed to make my new, best thing ever machine obsolete. If I lease an EV now I think it will be obsolete before the lease is up. I’ll remain on the sidelines for awhile.

Yes, I sat in a new model Y in the showroom and there was a gap in the dash. That was the best they had to show. The “decent” part is range and charging network. They work and get you where you need to go but Musk is a fragile rich prick that will never have enough money or power to satisfy his lust for such things.

Yet one more reason not to buy one of his fairly decent cars. I have 6 months left on my lease and want to try the electric world in retirement.

Please don’t call my employer, master musk…

Thanks for the answer! As I age I try to keep up with things but may have to relent to just maintaining status quo.

This reminds me of a thrift store. Items, or content, is provided for free and the store owner gets greedy. Prices are increased until sales decrease and greed kills sales to some degree.

Who is “chief”? Is it a colloquialism or an actual person?

Keep notes. This will make a great documentary some day!

I am not well versed with the way all this works so this might be a stupid question: Is there one central server in one location for this site? Could outside, remote server space be used to share the work?

From /. to Digg then Reddit. my journey continues…
