When developers asked the White House if they required a dickroom to go with the new ballroom, they were told that was not required as the Oval Office was serving as the dickroom for the next three years.
Plus you can hide a button mushroom basically anywhere.
When I knew my income was going to be destroyed I prepared by stopping all my outgoing subscriptions immediately. Changed phone plan to bare minimum etc. traded our car in for electric which cut our fuel bill from £100pm to £15. Finally I’m slowly selling my stuff, but I’m now at the stage where I have a 10 yr old laptop, 8yr old phone and something is going to break soon. Fun times.
I went back through your posts to find out where you were based… and I have discovered that there are in fact many stupid questions 😀…
This may be different in the US as your distances are a little larger… but we charge at home overnight and have never needed to charge anywhere else. Every morning we have 250miles available and 1200miles a month costs us ~$30 in electricity.
You may be able to get a prepaid debit card and use that on public charging stations for long journeys or emergencies.
I’m going to get my deposit back for the CT, I still think it’s cool but I don’t think it will ever be sold in Europe and Musk has just ruined the reputation of Tesla. I’m also looking for a home battery and although the Powerwall 3 looks great, I’m going to try and find an alternative, just because of Elon.
There are some African countries that will give you a driving licence with a photo and a few details.
Good for presenting in Europe and making it too difficult for the police to bother with to issue a simple speeding fine… or so I hear.
OK that makes sense, English is very hard to write like a native speaker, especially when phrases in your first language don’t translate well.
Not criticising, you write English better than I can write any other language, but that is why people think you are a bot. Some of the things you write just don’t flow correctly.
We just can’t tell if your first language is Cantonese or binary.
Seriously this reply looks AI generated too, maybe it’s “a you problem”?
Just wondering, is English your first language?
I think my keyboard and mouse use Bluetooth 5 and they have been rock solid.
While I use cloud for automatic phone and picture backups just because it’s built in to the OS, all manual and PC backups are to NAS via RJ45.
I suppose it depends on your needs but a NAS/external with the smallest disk you can find would take a while to pay for itself if you compare it to a 99p a month cloud storage package.
Sorry @Ziggurat but you might be the one behind the times; keyboard/mouse/headset - Bluetooth, External Hard drive/ memory stick - cloud/ WiFi, camera - WiFi/Bluetooth, Webcam is still USB.
The true connector crime here is that single USB-C, any new PC should have more than that.
I was really in the rabbit hole of “natural healing” in the 90s, I did it all, Reiki, reflexology, iridoligy, massage, pranic healing. The healing fairs were all either well meaning idiots or grifters, the grifters were the ones making the money by selecting a mark, following them around and listening before passing them off to the healer with a list of “hot reads” who would suddenly know far more about their ailments than that should have. The sell was then either courses where you learn to ‘heal’ and get massive insight into people or ‘healing’ sessions to cure you.
You should be in water
You only need one to be cyborg eye… the other one can succumb the way nature intended… to diabetes and television.
Well it could work really well… but capitalism will always be capitalism.
Ha - they wouldn’t do that! It’s not like Waze puts a full screen ad up every time you stop at a traffic light… oh, wait. Damn you capitalism!!!
Aw man, why did you have to ruin it by being such a pessimist! An entirely accurate and correct pessimist.
Last week I put together a kit because my car only comes with a pump and a can of tyre goo:
On uneven ground bottle and scissor jacks are always sketchy, having chocks and axel stands can give you enough time to get out of the way and prevent an accident. Most importantly the time to test out the kit is at home before you need to use it.
