That if you know how to code, you understand how computers work and understand really complicated math concepts.
It took me way longer to realize an article about how Alaskan airlines was giving passengers a pass to bring your own pocket tools on one of their flights that it really should have. My only real excuse was that the site wasn’t the onion.
Hail Santa
I could go to a community college around me (I know they teach it), but scheduling it around work might take some work. You know, I think I might actually look and see if they have an occasional weekend course. I don’t have to be a professional welder, just good enough.
That’s an idea! I’d want to make sure I had proper safety equipment, but that might be an plan when I have some time.
Welding. Just useful for occasional projects, and would be nice to know I could weld something if necessary.
A lot factory farming is absolutely cruel yes, but production of plenty of animal based products doesn’t necessarily have to be. I’ve raised chickens before, eggs generally tasted better and the chickens were treated like pets (they weren’t meant for their meat). It’s a spectrum, the goal as a vegetarian is to reduce harm.
You have the freedom to customize it how you want. The downside is that you have to customize and install everything yourself. A happy compromise is to get an arch based distro which handles a lot of the main stuff, my current favorite is endevour os.
Depends on what I am listening to and doing. I usually like magnetic neckband headphones if I am moving around and maybe listening to a book, but prefer iems or openbacks if I am listening to music.
It generally is. Just make sure to know what model you want, and to make sure that the bios isn’t locked (computrace basically bricks them if enabled).
They have great Linux support, generally are pretty repairable (they will have repair manuals and extra parts for you to order), and they are usually lease laptops, which means if you don’t mind getting a used laptop you can get top of line laptops from a few years ago for a fraction of what they are worth. I’ve gotten thinkpads for years, generally only spending up around $200 on a laptop I use for a few years quite comfortably.
I’ve had arch “break” on me about 4-5 times. Most of the time it is issues regarding Nvidia drivers being updated (usually just chroot and reinstall/reconfigure drivers fixes it), but the others were mostly my fault (I’m often pretty lazy about making sure my system is up to date, and expect some breakage if I update only about every couple of months on a pretty customized system without looking to make sure nothing will cause an issue).
If in the upper atmosphere yes, but I doubt any of the sulfer from these gets anywhere near that height, and actually just falls back down to pollute down here.
OK, been playing it, would definitely recommend. It’s pretty simple, but it’s fun and if you played it as part of your childhood, it doesn’t disappoint.
Nah, it doesn’t have ads. It’s prime, they already have trouble getting people to watch their stuff.
Tlp and Intel xtu for undervolting (lowers temps and power consumption, but newer cpus don’t support it) are pretty good ideas. If battery life is your perogative, try avoiding discrete gpus, they can be a pain to make sure they don’t drain battery in Linux. 14hrs is possible, but you have to spec properly (think thinkpad t480 with dual batteries, and a low power display).
I usually carry around $30 with my cards, if I’m budgeting it can help make there be a limit as to what I can buy without having to rationalize my purchase to myself. Also, nice to have if needed, even if that isn’t everyday.
Community college is a great place to start, allows you to get your toes wet without too high stakes. Speaking as a software engineer, don’t worry to much about the adhd stuff, there are a lot of us in the tech field (being able multi-task well and hyperfocus on something we are somewhat interested in are actually pretty valuable in his field). I’d probably advocate for making sure you adhere to a strict schedule for a bit when first starting out, makes it easier to not burnout on school long term (it’s hard I know, but once you establish those little habits school stays more managable).
$70k in my area in NC. It’s a lovely 2bd/1ba, and can keep the rain off your head (mostly). It totally wouldn’t be condemned if actually inspected.
