Seems to me like you comprehend it perfectly!

I also never really saw the appeal. And I closed the account I’d barely used since 2007 (When it was primarily for announcing you were pooping and Lifehacker told me you could make lists with remember the milk) when the first buddy bought it.

I occasionally tried to use it for getting near real time news about things, but I guess I sucked at following the right people.

Now, with privacy badger, I never have to interact even when sites embed xits (if we’re going with xitter, then it’s full of xits, right?).

Hello fellow Midwesterner!

They sure did!

This just in: scientists disprove validity of thought experiment; philosophers remain concerned that they’ve missed the point.

Travelers were definitely securely on the ground. Upset, but secure.

Absolutely insulate too! It’s really cheap and easy (if you have exposed pipes in places). Heck, I insulate my cold water in my attic because it’s otherwise a naked run in my attic and that sucks in the summer.

My CA weather privilege is showing (that said, energy and water are crazy expensive here too). You’re making me recall all the hell I went through trying to modernize the 1922 house in MN 15 years ago.

I do wonder how much difference it really makes in energy since we’d be evacuating at least as much water from the tank that it would have to heat fresh anyway. We use the smart plug to set things up for time of use: 7am for showers, 11:30 for lunch, 6pm for dinner, etc. That way we can avoid a constant energy suck. I set things up for a 1-click run for the in between times too.

If your water heater is old (10+ years) and/or in bad shape, it can be full of deposits and in some cases corrosion. Apparently we’re all supposed to be bleeding a few gallons from our water heaters monthly to maintain them. I don’t know anyone who does.

Our water from the city is total crap (and also the most expensive I’ve had in my life), so we added a softener and then split all the drinking/cooking water sources off to a RO system. But I’m also the guy with infinite sparkling water on tap from the kegerator in my kitchen (again only a few hundred in equipment and then about $80/yr in CO2, most of which I had from my home brewing hobby anyway).

If you have access to your water heater and some basic tools, a recirculation pump and a smart plug can be life changing.

For about $250 (pump plus smart plug) and an hour or so of your time, you can create a one-way loop that will refresh the water in the pipes and return the cold water to the water heater.

The loop is best located at the place in the house where it takes the longest to get hot water.

You’ll have to “suffer” warm water in your cold tap, but using the smart timer to run only the time it takes to warm the water can limit that.

So that’s why they’re called “rolling” releases!

Absolutely.

Sidenote: I keep seeing “xitter” being used, is it safe to assume it’s pronounced “shitter”?

The cable tv version of die hard 2 that we taped as kids was “Mr. Falcon”.

That’s the Jack Welch playbook!

Best part? George Kurtz (crowdstrike CEO) won’t be available for handling the fallout. He’s busy racing this weekend.

RTFM.

I think that’s an appropriate response…

Garuda. Gaming/perf focus, with lots of built-in niceties (like btrfs snapshots on upgrade, proton GE, etc)

My 14+ year old laser printer “just works” on the latest linux kernel. It has been several years since MacOS supported installing the last driver binary created for it.
