  • I agree with everything you said except shoe-in, because it’s shoo-in.

    But you articulated (better than I was going to) the number one issue. Power companies need insurance and their insurance will be affected if ordinance permits basically unchecked generators being plugged into the grid. And before anyone says it, you are not allowed to just plug your generator into your house. Does it happen? Yeah, people have been dumb since day one.

    But there are transfer switches that allow for this operation in a safe manner, and the easiest way to deal with this is to have them installed by default in new construction, and to provide incentive for upgrading your panel to include one.








  • Yeah, I just have a tough time believing you guys, from my limited experience with Linux, but also from many others here who seem to be Linux users, but can appreciate why others don’t use it. Folks talking about updates bricking peripherals and whatnot. It’s something that has literally never happened to me in the last 30+ years I’ve been Windowsing.

    If Linux users could stop being so hyperbolic in their superiority, it might entice me to try it out. Windows isn’t some unusable shit and everyone knows it. It’s had its issues since day one. And to suggest Linux is just this set it and forget it OS is preposterous. Let’s all be real.






  • For me, video games have always been about “accomplishment,” which is why I don’t think I was ever into the battle royales and that ilk. Do it, win game, repeat. I liked games that you built up to stuff, longer, more difficult levels, that sort of thing. I also enjoyed racing cars in Forza, but that was almost a workout, squeezing the controller, it would get my heart racing. Platformers like Celeste did the same.

    I used to enjoy sitting down and playing some shoot em ups with my buddies, but it was more social hour than the game.
