Mr. Rogers would be proud. :)

Next time it happens unplug the front case connector and short the power pins. If it comes on, replace the power switch and wires.

I’m glad you can still trust Noone. Whoever they are.

Yeah, I watched a couple of his review videos years ago and then more started popping up on my feed. I’d occasionally click on one and everytime I did more red flags would appear. Mention of weapons? Well he is on a ranch. Wait, that’s not a ranch. Homesteader? Huh. Vaguely concealed racist, anti-Obama dogwhistle. Gotcha, blocked.

My cousin’s wife was an ER nurse for 19 years and quit her job back in 2022 after dealing with the covid patients that “knew better” for 2 and a half years. This attitude seems to still be prevelant in a certain subset of people. They know they need help but they’ve been indoctrinated into believing things that are not in their best interests. I’m sure tiktok told him he could cure his diabetes with microgreens or some shit and his “research” tops all of the medical and nursing degrees in your building.

No precipitation to speak of so it wasn’t that bad. Nothing really closed down and the roads were good. Supposed to be 72 degrees (22c) tomorrow, thank fuck.

I’ve always wondered why they string random letters together. What does Amazon make the sellers do?

And this is why you’re not allowed to pick up the kids from school anymore.

I think it was Technology Connections that did a video on French door fridges. One major problem with them (among the countless others) is airflow. Refrigerators have one refrigeration unit for both the fridge and freezer. The air is cooled in the freezer and moved to the less cool fridge. Cool air is denser than warmer air so it falls. Conventional fridges (freezer on top) were designed that way on purpose. When the freezer is on bottom you add levels of complexity and work against what has already been proven effective. That’s not a problem, per se, because humans are ingenious. But in order to compete with traditional fridges these companies have to do this at the mercy of the lowest bidder.

Never run a lemmy server but I can’t think of anything offhand that would change lemmy configs. Honestly, IDK. You’ll likely have to reconfigure your network card but that would take all of 30 seconds.

Just toss your drives into the new machine. Any reconfiguring for the new hardware would be pretty minimal with Mint.

Texas. Also I saw a beautiful sunrise this morning and I hope you see something equally as beautiful today.
