I haven’t played in a while - is it still the case where the ssd destination isn’t clearly marked on the map?

The website suggests it does. I just remember it served me well when I needed it.

I haven’t used this in many years so I can’t vouch for the current state, but I’ve used synergy to share the same mouse and keyboard across multiple computers. I think this should enable your 4 monitor dream - 2 externals and two laptops.

You’ll also likely run into a situation where a single laptop can’t drive 4 monitors - keep that in mind.

EDIT: I don’t know why you’re targeting 3 laptops in the future, but I would heavily suggest looking at framework laptops. They’re upgradeable, modular laptops where you can buy new motherboards to upgrade. Once you do upgrade, you can actually use the old Mobo as a desktop machine.

I just think of south Korean beauty standards and how I have a hard time differentiating all the kpop artists due to the homogeneous beauty standard being universally applied.

Yup, a lot of great shows are being thrown around, but a good place captures everything you want - growing friendships and relationships, unravelling weirdness, and being a part of the team.

We were using Skype… Dark days.

I have not and I’ve now purchased the book - thanks for the recommendation!

I’ve only read Ted Chiang’s exhalation, but one of the stories was the biggest thinker I’ve seen, and another was an emotional gut punch (in a good way)

The ratio of lasting impact to content length of his short stories is insane. He has no business having such compelling works being readable in a lunch break.

Another vote for Pratchett! I’m an economics fan, and making money happened to be my introduction, but there are far more common onramps.

My personal suggestion for getting a feel of Pratchett’s writing these days is monstrous regiment - technically in the discworld series, but it’s very standalone, so you get the flavor of the writing with little of the need for additional context.

If you like chiptunes, “the moon” from DuckTales does a great job at instilling a sense of adventure. If chiptunes aren’t your thing, here’s an orchestral version

These guys use PWM - penguin wakefulness modulation

We’re all learning tricks in this thread! Grateful for all y’all nerds.

Don’t forget your pwd thrown in to get back your bearings!

I use letterboxd for movies, Goodreads for books. Haven’t found one for tv shows.

Yup, base model, $30 or so sonicate gives that “fresh from the dentist” clean

I’m more worried about third party candidates pulling a macron. They typically have much less history to point to for consistency in policies, they have already received GOP aid, and Jill Stein…

Sometimes I’ll just reboot the entire damn machine just to be safe ;)

In a similar vein, nohup lets you send tasks to the background and seems to be everywhere.

Or you can learn both and spend the rest of your life trying screen commands in tmux and vice versa.

I believe it’s the fifth oldest - I think !-5 will get you the fifth impost recent, but I was shown that and haven’t put it into practice.

The most common usecase I do is something like history | grep docker to find docker commands I’ve ran, then use ! followed by the number associated with the command I want to run in history.
