In the US there are sub $200 reverse osmosis units. They waste some water, but overall the cost and convenience is better than water delivery or bottles. I used one when I lived in a rental with poor quality well water.

Wait… What? The article seems to imply that the water is consumed, but it’s referencing the water used in cooling loops.
Unfortunately, I do not know. If you find anything out, I’d like to hear about it.
Not good news. So I’m coming from a Florida perspective. The general wisdom here in the past has been native milkweed in the garden is important for the monarch.
After working at native plant nurseries, and now for the local government doing environmental work, I’ve seen the narrative shifting to no milkweed.
Basically, disease has become a big issue in our South Eastern monarch populations, and it turns out that gardens have become hotspots for it. Here is an article on the subject.
I personally stopped recommending Milkweed of any kind to people years ago after seeing the effect of disease in the nursery I worked it.
Aphids love milkweed. If you want a butterfly host plant for the southeast, I recommend getting a passion vine native to your area. Monarchs don’t be really need more milkweed, and you can host more species! It is cool to feed the lady bugs, though!
I’m going to engineer an llm which continuously complains on social media that I don’t have enough money to buy a new laptop until it drops below x price
My partner and I moved into my parents house 2 years ago. Rent was getting too high and we were running out of options. We all get along well. Early 30s, btw.
Participating in a para-legal political organization which explicitly excludes women from leadership roles and claims divine authority should have been the first red flag. Don’t do that.
I wonder if you could just use your PC to hotspot when you need to use VR.
Yeah, right? I mean, imagine if YouTube when down and just deleted all the videos. People would be up and arms demanding legislative action. There would be endless lawsuits.
As a creative, you rely on platforms to not obliterate your stuff. At least not immediately. This guy has a horse in the race of this site.
That’s not really what the article is about. The author even concedes that such a law would never, and perhaps never should, happen; rather, he feels that corporations will not adopt best practices of preservation unless compelled, and it pisses him off.
The title is deliberate hyperbolic. He’s clearly pissed.
Why is everyone so mad about this? I mean, it’s a salty article, but yeah, it kinda sucks when publications don’t give notice before closing down. I think providing the public, including previous contributors, time to archive content is a good practice.
I have to say after watching the videos, boo to the corpo for the weird exploitative lies, but kudos to the two women for staying in character! They legit put effort into moving like the real robots around them, and all while in what were probably uncomfortable costumes. I hope they get positive social media attention!
If you don’t mind me asking, why don’t you like this other girl? Was she mean to you?
I’ll be honest, this is confusing as hell, so I might be misunderstanding.
I think it’s a little hypocritical that you want it to be a chill, no drama space with the bros, but you also want to exclude a girl because you see her as competition for the guy you like who is in this group.
I understand you had a bad experience with her, but you said that the guys don’t know that. From their perspective, you’re just excluding other girls for no other reasons than seemingly to be the only girl in the group and perhaps to have exclusive access to your crush.
I’ve made a lot of IRL friends online and at work.
If you’re between jobs, consider doing something like Americorps. People of all ages do it, not just young folks, and its temporary. I think of it as summer camp for adults, but you get paid and in some cases housing.
Back in 2017 I was super into VR. IDK what the communities are like now, back then the demographics were older, but I got a big social fix from it. An oculus quest 2 or 3 is affordable. Almost all the best games are social, “face to face” talking. It’s like having a public arcade in your closet.
I made the most friends back in 2011 by posting art online and commenting on other artists’ things. People love chatting about their hard work. I ended up meeting loads of them in person. If you can find a space of creatives, whether it’s a bluegrass club, DND, discord book club, whatever, you’ll have a good time.
And, don’t beat yourself up about being lonely. Life moves in cycles. Remember, it just takes meeting one extrovert to suddenly gain a crap ton of friends. Or, maybe you’ll collect them one by one. Regardless, I feel you. Be well.
I do wonder, hypothetically, if free Linux distros had 80% of the consumer market, would we see just as many dangerous exploits and malware as we do on Windows today? It seems to me that the consumer community is so small that it’s hard to say if it’s secure or just obscure.
I understand in theory Linux is more secure… But are individual users really not opening themselves up to attacks, downloading foss software right and left? Using built in stores? Wine emulation?
