I rode in a 3 a while back, and to me it felt like a futuristic econobox.

Not something I have experience with, but have you looked at city/government jobs? You won't get rich, but afaik a lot of them have stability and pensions


work there long enough and retirement at a reasonable age may even be possible (assuming things don't go to shit).

USPS comes to mind.

If it's a case of needing ad-hoc WiFi from Windows, an Android phone tethered over USB will act as a WiFi adapter of sorts.

Maybe a dumb take, but I think milking customers for all they're worth is much better option than what HP is seemingly doing


which is milking them for all they're worth this quarter.

Like, there are companies with a cult like following (Valve comes to mind) and while they could probably increase profit for a quarter or two, they seem to be playing the long game fairly well. Which is ultimately better for everyone


they get more money over your lifetime, and you get a product that you're happy with.

It's also somewhat unique as a state (maybe?) in that it has a ton of corporate exports (namely, tech), as well as gigantic agricultural output. Illinois comes to mind as a similar situation. Contrast to Alaska (oil) or NY (NYC finance/corporate).

Looks like you edited but kept the "th" suffix instead of "nd" :)

My carrier is Google Fi


one perk is that they will give you free data-only sims (up to 10 I think?) and you just pay for the data you use like any other data. I have used old Android phones in USB tether mode this way, and it works just fine. So, rpi+old/cheap phone should do the trick.

One fun bonus is that if you tether over USB it will work as a WiFi dongle, too


the failover from WiFi to cell should happen on the phone, transparently iirc. Not sure if that affects you.

Caveat is that I did this a while ago, and their pricing structure may have changed. Finished to be a great deal but has slowly become another carrier with not much to differentiate it...

Lol, comment removed. It ended with, "...support for the Chinese Communist party" as a way of finding out someone is a child.

Which was then removed in a, dare I say, childish act of moderation.

(Which is fine, the folks at .ml are welcome to censor as they see fit, of course, and I'm sure this comment isn't long for this world.)

Or, if you allow for polyamory and non-hetero relationships, you probably need a rel table (and some joins in the query).

Maybe GIRLS is just a view...

France made a big mistake to go all in.

Not only does Germany import electricity from France (which comes from...?), but Germany has (according to this) a substantially higher carbon footprint per capita.

If the only issue is cost and projects taking longer than expected, isn't that a good tradeoff for carbon neutral power?

And yes, of course, I would prefer renewables, you would prefer renewables, we all would. But it's somewhat disingenuous to decry the use of nuclear, advocate for renewables, and at the same time, rely heavily on coal, as Germany does (or at the very least, did recently.
