We were all that sucker at some point

I’d be fine with this as long as the packaging was also cardboard. When I see a drink in a full plastic cup with a soggy paper straw I’m baffled.

Ooo that might’ve been misleading. I bought them as the local hardware store was shutting down about a year ago. I helped the owner out with website stuff so I got a percentage off plus the out of business sale. I think they were ~$80 originally. Nothing fancy.

I rebuilt my house from the ground up, from the foundation to the studs to the drywall, by myself, it was the cheapest on the market for a reason. So don’t worry, the callouses are plenty.

You’ll do fine with an electric leaf-blower. If you have a landscaping business or maybe 20 acres, I’d say you’re in a pickle and frustration is definitely justified.

The batteries can be a pain and a lot of the cheap ones die quick, buy a few extra quality batteries and remember to charge them. With the cost of gas alone you’ll end up saving money in the long-run if you’re out there as often as you suggest. I built a solar generator that powers my garage which is where I charge my batteries, so it litterally cost me nothing but the initial investment. I have a quarter acre and do my neighbors half acre, 2 batteries ~$30 a piece let’s me weedwack and blow. My mower goes through 2 and I have an extra one just encase I need it.

Having to replace everything you have definetly sucks, I feel like they should just stop selling them and let the ones out there go until they die instead o prematurely going in a landfill.

I’ve been getting by just fine with a couple standing fans. I’ve had to turn the ACS on a couple times for my kids when I was around 110F

Before going full blast AC in all the rooms I’ll turn on the big Window unit in the living room and set up fans so it blows the cold air through the whole house (our house isn’t big) and I find its a good middle ground. It cools down the rooms pretty well.

Back in my early days of Linux I ran this exact command, I forget why, but for some reason my WiFi stopped working immediately after and then SELinux started yelling at me for some reason. I tried to fix SELinux and most certainly commited an innumerable amount of cardinal sins.

I had to reinstall whatever distro I was running at the time

Seems like a solid solution. Why doesn’t everyone just do that?

I think your missing something big here.

A while back when one of the popular models came out it blew all the others away in benchmark tests. That got my coworker and boss super excited, we started coming up with different ways AI can help us. Thankfully as I pointed out, our software is proprietary and super secret, and all it took was a couple Google searches to find out a lot of those companies leak data like crazy and AI will just tell other people your secrets if they ask in the right way. So we needed to run our LLMs locally, but for that we’d need some beefy specs. I did the research, wrote a neovim and sublime plugin to integrate our local LLMs in a ‘copilot’ kind of way. My boss ordered my coworker and I whatever the new macbooks are with 128gb of memory to fit our lovely AI models, bought me a desktop tower and a few GPUs. Then I went on a 3 month paternity leave, came back and have heard nothing about AI since aside that my coworker switched to vs code to try and use continue but got frustrated, switched back to sublime and doesn’t use AI anymore.

So yeah, AI got me 2 new maxed out spec machines and 2 weeks of fuck around time writing plugins that were not nearly as complex as everyone thought, just because AI was involved.

For real though, I’ve tried quite a few times but 9/10 it fails me and I end up spending more time messing around with prompts than it would’ve taken me to do the thing. Occasionally when I have a mile long error message or something super obscure I’ll pass it to ollama and it seems to do well with wittling it down for me, that’s about it.

Per person???

We eat good, always have snacks and get a few bs quick meals whenever we go shopping. $800 for a family of 4 and I feel like that’s too much.

Granted I make a lot of stuff from scratch, but I feel like the snack and quick meals even that out price wise.

I’m not sure about a gui but it’s pretty easy with docker compose. I can shoot you over a sample of my compose files and how I have it all set up. It’s just a couple files and a few commands and you should spend more time waiting for the containers to build than anything.

I can’t think of a single thing I would trust chat gpt with, especially when it come to my kids.

I’m trying to rationalize what you could even ask it that’s not a single Google search away with a forum or blog post written by (hopefully) human fucking beans who have gone through the same thing you’re experiencing and figured it out.

For every parenting question you have there’s 100 different answers, at least 20 of them are reasonable, pick one of those 20 and figure it out.

While writing this I tried something. Chat gpt told me a 4 month old needs around 14 ounces of milk in a day if their breast feeding. Which is about half the actual number. I think the recommendation is ~25 /day, my kid drinks ~30. If I gave him 14 a day I think he’d learn how to walk just to kill me.

I used this service breifly a while ago. Not enough to say whether it’s good or not, but I remember it working just fine.

I don’t use streamio, but if you use docker you can set it up a gluetun container to be the network for a streamio container. It’s a fairly simple setup and it’ll keep any container connected to it behind the VPN you set up.

Is Streamio considered safe/private? I remember looking into it a while back and saw something about needing an account on their servers or something.

I used Kodi with addons for ages but switched to jellyfin because kodi felt too clunky and slow for my wife.

I accidentally clicked on an AI video of Hank Hill rapping with all the characters from King of the hill and it was fucking hilarious and the song actually kind of slapped in a “bad music good” kind of way.

There’s plenty days where I’m either burnt the fuck out or feel overwhelmingly constricted by my schedule, as lenient that it is I hate that I have a schedule at all. On those days I’ll just sit back and watch a few space/post apocolyptic movies and maybe do a few minutes of work in between them.

I’m able to do that and don’t even have to hide it, I tell my boss I’m having a movie day and he usually leaves me alone unless something big pops up. He started doing the same, he’s just not as good at it yet.

I’ve wanted to find a new job for more money for a while, but these kind of benifits aren’t listed in job posting and I don’t think I’d last anywhere that wasn’t as lenient.

This made me curious so I checked. A Gallon on OJ cost $10 at my local chain store. It’s the only grocery store for a while so they get away with a lot. What does it normally cost? I’m not a fan and don’t think I’ve ever bought orange juice
