You convinced me I’m switching!

Sales people say anything to close the deal. They don’t care.

What’s your threat model?

Identify a skill that is in demand and find a way to learn it. That’s the only secret to having an income.

It seems like you rather answer the question than ask it. Have you considered starting a blog?

How am I not following my own advice?

How about you do you and I do me?

Well I don’t know what to tell you friend. I’m as bathed in the blood as they come and this has not been my experience. Consider Proverbs 11:27

“Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.”

The Bible doesn’t say and there is no consensus among Biblical scholars about what the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were. Some believe it was simply arrogance and inhospitality.

I get into these comment chains from time to time where really no matter what I post whoever I’m talking to downvotes…

I suggest avoiding such comment chains. If the person you are talking to is downvoting everything you write then you can be certain you are wasting your time.

It doesn’t matter. Unless they are keeping the apartment at an unreasonably high or low temp, then California typically recognizes a landlord’s right to require you to keep the windows closed when the AC is running.

This is not legal advice but in California, the landlord of a rooming house (which it sounds like you are in) has the right to make reasonable house rules and “keep the windows closed when the AC is on” is generally recognized as reasonable rule. Its unlikely a court would side with you on this.

Keeping the window open in a room (even with the door shut) impacts the temperature and humidity of the rest of the house. Rooms within a house are not air tight when the door is closed. In fact, the airflow in a house is designed to circulate and mix all the air from all the rooms so that the AC runs efficiently, even when the doors are closed.

oh the irony

My advise is to wear undershirts. Even the tank top ones will make a big difference in keeping your shirts clean.

Personally, I don’t get why the solution to many of the issues people experience with Apple devices is to buy another one.

I’m not really familiar with this. My wife uses a macbook. She’s had it for 6 years and I can’t recall any real issues with it.

It may be hard to believe, but some people actually buy apple products because they like them.

Storm drains, aqueducts, and swimming pools are typically made out of concrete because it has the right properties to deal with lots of water. Roads are typically paved with asphalt. Unlike concrete, asphalt is far more subject to damage from water.

One of the main purposes of crowned roads is to ensure that water flows off the asphalt quickly in thin sheets that don’t cause erosion. A heavy flow of water on asphalt causes too much erosion. Also, pooling or standing water seeps into asphalt and causes damage and structural problems. Especially in areas where the temperature gets low enough to freeze.

There are also other problems with V shaped roads, but avoiding water damage from pooling and erosion is the big one.

Slightly V shaped roads are used where cars don’t go, like in pedestrian shopping centers with outside walkways.

I use Windows Server because that’s what I know. Though I am curious to learn other OSes when I have more time. I don’t use docker so that’s really not a problem for now.

Wait I don’t have a reverse proxy because I don’t need one. I just installed the jellyfin for windows version and then you just connect to it.
