I just picked up a Nespresso machine (late tonight) and this is the first thing I see on my Lemmy feed. I am absolutely ecstatic for tomorrow morning!

Don’t waste your time on stuff. Waste it on experiences and spending time with people. Relationships are the most important thing. You won’t regret that and it will make your life richer and more fulfilled. Stuff won’t do that.

That was an excellent long read. Great investigation and handled relatively well at the professional level.

Very good hypothetical and reasoning.

I got the sarcasm.

My wife is pretty smart. I take zero credit.

We spend about $100 per kid (we have 3 from 10-17). $150 for adults. We’re fairly well off and buy what we want year round. We give them something they want, something they need, something to eat, and something to read. They love it.

I mean, that’s what you said. I’m just providing context that this isn’t so for everyone. Not sure what’s going on with your install.

That’s so passive aggressive it’s impressive.

Right. If you can’t trust it, it’s worthless.

God I love that movie.

Ctrl+Shift+V does actually paste without formatting in up to date Office products. I do it a lot.

So that’s not just me! I’ve also had Alt+Tab get stuck showing all windows and not move to the selected one lately. Gahhh.

It might be your hardware. I just migrated from a Ryzen 5 laptop (with much better battery life than its Core i5 cousins in the office) to a new Core Ultra laptop and the difference in shutdown time is striking. Mostly because it actually shuts down all the spreadsheets and office BS I have open while the Ryzen one would hang. I normally don’t like Intel chips but this generation seems to be pretty good. Could be RAM too. Old laptop had 24GB, new one has 32GB.

For me it was not being able to keep a homebridge VM from crashing. Threw it on Debian and it hasn’t gone down once. Dual booting for now but I’m moving everything over. The final piece was seeing how fast Debian copies files. It’s instant most of the time. Made me realize that the “nice” speed dialog is literally just show and slowing down the functionality by quite a bit. What a pig.

Chief of War is fantastic. Historical drama based on Hawai’i’s timeline during the 1800s when the west found the island. It’s a bit brutal at times (especially the first episode) and it’s a lot of subtitles but it’s so well done. Jason Momoa’s best.

The Crown is also some of the best TV and acting out there. Absolutely excellent drama based on the Elizabeth II’s years. It’s incredible. Best John Lithgow acting hands down.

Yep. His time in France specifically.
