"Follow the money" is pretty catchy.

Keep in mind that USRTK is also pretty sketchy. https://www.thedailybeast.com/us-right-to-know-fave-mainstream-media-source-is-funded-by-anti-vaxxers

Honestly, blacksmithing isn't that hard. And the video in the article looks like it was cold sheet steel work over a form and a few rivets, so a few hours' work for a beginner. Even basic forge work is something you can learn in an afternoon.

I like not having space wasted. A smaller, lighter laptop is easier to carry around and fit into bags, so the more space that is used for the screen, the better.

The easiest thing to do would be to run a VM now and do a V2P backup and restore.

Yeah. I've definitely gotten refunds past those limits. But I've had a Steam account for like 16 years at this point, lots of games, and I've requested a refund maybe twice.

Yeah. If you make strawberry cupcakes, for example, they're barely tinged pink without additional color.

If you have a bunch of nodes, what do you need redundant NICs for? The other nodes should pick up the slack.

It's unlikely for the NIC or cable to suddenly go bad. If you only have one switch, you're not protected against its failure, either.

Hype

No, this is the nice thing we can't have. Republicans is why we can't have nice things.

Yeah, I had pretty good sex ed, and it was just that, sex ed. Body parts, consent, having babies, not having babies, not getting STDs. Nothing about relationships, straight or otherwise. Should kids be taught about healthy relationships, and how to get help if you're in an unhealthy one? Yes. Should it be part of sex ed? I don't think so.

Maybe we should just have a remedial "things your parents should have taught you" class for stuff like that.

They don't die any more suddenly than a spinning drive, but they do have limited lifespans. Use SMART tools to check the lifespan data. And check for firmware updates since sometimes there are bugs that can cause them to wear out quickly.

But really the important thing is having backups, which you said you have.

They're pretty lenient with refunds past two hours' playtime, if it's not that much more and you don't have a history of requesting refunds. I've been refunded for games after like four hours, but I've also only done maybe two refunds tops.

If the automatic refund was rejected, you can ask for a manual review.

But if you've really started that many runs, and put in enough hours to get that far, don't be surprised if they deny a refund. You've already experienced most of the game. It's like going to a restaurant, tasting your meal, saying it's horrible, then continuing to eat it.

The US has given plenty of hardware to Israel over the years, and they do a fair bit of domestic production too. I don't think they are hurting for hardware.

Assuming that it wasn't friendly fire they blamed on Tortuguita, anyway.

Literally just give those subsidies to environmentally-friendly alternatives.

At some point the cost of replacing elements is going to exceed the cost of a new oven. You could stock up on elements if you can find any.

I don't think I've ever had an element break on me, though, even on decades-old ovens. You might want to check the power to the oven and element just to make sure you're not over-volting it or something.

At that point you're just reinventing a monitoring system.
