When I visited Alaska, they said you should always take the sights off your rifle. That way it doesn't hurt as much when the grizzly shoves it up your ass.

That's not really true though. My family has excellent insurance, and the whole process of having a kid and all the pediatric visits since have been great (both in terms of care and cost).

That said, our healthcare system sucks at a population level, and I certainly recognize that. But I think recognition that our system works very well for a small part of the population is an important thing to acknowledge.

I certainly "hold an unfavorable view" of the US healthcare system...but that's not because it doesn't work for me personally.

Seems more analogous to clothes than housing

clothes can be "too big" in the sense that the extra size is detrimental to the function, which is somewhat different from houses.

And it's pretty common to have buy-nothing groups in cities or even at large companies. Got a loooot of hand-me-down clothes for my toddler from friends, family, and randos in the neighborhood.

My toddler does that.

Elon has stated his distaste for Apple, and seems to be taking it out on its users. Who are notoriously, well...dedicated. Oh, and there are viable alternatives to Xitter, both federated and not.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm sure I'm just too stupid to see how this is a Big Brain move here...

An ARM laptop that can run mainline Linux out of the box and performs at an M1 level or better would be phenomenal. Sign me up.

My favorite hypercorrection (a hyperforeignism, if you like) is "habañero," and really stressing the "ñ" when you say it.

Except it's just "habanero," plain ol' "n." The confusion is presumably due to "jalapeño" having an accent.

I picked up an old HP LaserJet (with the Ethernet option) for free during grad school. It was a great printer

good CUPS/Linux support, reliable, cheap 3rd party toner.

It's sad how the mighty have fallen. Would never recommend one for someone today.

Imagine I have two choices: end world hunger, or end world hunger and kick a puppy. If I choose to end world hunger but also kick a puppy...well I'm kinda a dick, right? Ultimately I did a very good thing ending word hunger, so on balance, my actions are "net positive." But the choice I actually made was to kick a puppy.

Now, I need to eat. So I have a choice: eat yummy food and don't kill an animal, or eat yummier food and do kill and animal. The choice I'm effectively faced with is, "kill an animal for better taste."

It's totally up to you to decide if that is a good choice for you personally.

If course it's not always so simple, and there are financial, cultural, and health reasons that complicate this. But for some folks (like myself) that's kinda how I view it.

Property can take a while to close

offer to title in under 30 days is on the quick side.

Of course, you could probably close very fast if you offered 100M cash on a 10M property...

What's you network setup? Is there any chance that it's connecting through he Internet instead of locally? For example: JF proxies through a VPS, and you're connected to the VPS address instead of the local address of the server?

You can imagine what happens next 🙄
