QuoteSpeedy Quotepdq Quoterz Quotespacescape All "green energy" failed (From what he is saying). All of it failed, not just "green energy", which only accounts for about 20% of the energy produced in Texas. And the reason the wind turbines failed was because Texas, which has its own power grid and doesn't have to follow federal mandates, didn't bother to weatherize them liby raz - Tips and Deals

If mom does not need 4K, I just added another 24" Dell UltraSharp for about $160. It's sharp as a tack and has a 4 port USB hum that will help with the M1's paucity there.by raz - Tips and Deals

QuoteMrNoBody QuoteBuck Nobody mentioned a DEC10 yet. aka PDP-10. Big Brother used hundreds of them back in the day. ARPANET had loads of DEC mainframes on its network. We retired the last working DEC20 (essentially two DEC10s) just before we closed the old office. IIRC, DEC gave us plenty of incentives to make the switch. That must have been 1989 or so.by raz - Tips and Deals
1973 or so. We had an IBM 1470 (?) for Fortran and an HP time share machine running RSTS for Basic in my High School. I'd show up for zero-th period just to get more coding time in.by raz - Tips and Deals
I'd got with the drill a hole then run the router method. Best would be to build a jig - in this case just a rectangular frame the keep the router from sliding around.by raz - Tips and Deals
Eero mesh and others have an Ethernet port. You’d get mesh speeds without using the minis’ WiFi. For what it’s worth mine was trivial to set up. Just plug and play into the existing modem.by raz - Tips and Deals

Not to hijack but .... Don’t forget a time machine external and inculcate the need to use it. At some point she will call to say that her paper due tomorrow has disappeared.by raz - Tips and Deals
There are far too many shady - but not illegal - practices available to the sophisticated investor. Short sell is one. Naked short selling (where one doesn't even own the sold shares which is how Lehman Bros. was brought down) is illegal, but never prosecuted. As mentioned above, the brokerages moved in to protect the hedge funds and not their clients. I'd expect the SEC (if it were to do aby raz - Tips and Deals
Quotetronnei QuoterzHe didn't like the ending, where the police come and arrest King Arthur, and that there was no resolution on finding the grail. The Python boys didn't like the ending either, but they couldn't think of any other way to end it. IIRC, they ran out of money. The original ending was to find the Grail at the Grail counter at Harrod’sby raz - Tips and Deals

FWIW I picked up a 3 unit Eero mesh from Bezos last year. Trivial to set up with my FIOS access point, and I have full (a or n or ... ) speed throughout the house.by raz - Tips and Deals
Definitely get shoe covers. Your biking shoes are designed to let your feet breathe as much as possible in the summer heat. That cooling action will be nasty in the winter. I generally ride with glove liners in my heavy gloves, a short base layer, a long base layer, and my (lovely Mavic Inferno) jacket when the temperature is below 35 or so. And long, insulated bibs. Also a balaclava.by raz - Tips and Deals
QuoteSchpark I did this one better and am now buying physical albums and spinning them. The first time my son heard the quality of the sound coming from a physical disc had him in awe. I’ll go you one better. My kid spent his bonus the next year on a stereo so he could spin vinyl. He even turned one of his friends into a vinyl lover.by raz - Tips and Deals

When it hit $800M a few years back the office group pitched in $5 a piece. I think we got a total of $6 back. The fun part was the VP of Engineering and her immediate underling pitched in as well - on the theory that if we'd hit nobody under them would return to the office.by raz - Tips and Deals
I haven’t seen one in over twenty years. At that time I’d just put my daughter down for her nap and welcomed some adult company. When I rebutted every argument they said they’d have the bishop drop by. Never saw them again.by raz - Tips and Deals
I've done that with my wife's 2014 mini. It's not as good as replacing the HD, but far better than booting off of the HD. There's a big piece of tape on the drive "Do not disconnect"by raz - Tips and Deals
