I found UrBackup to be very easy to use. Very little nitty-gritty setup and configuration required to get started. I have a feeling those with more experience will (rightly) pick apart if I’m missing something egregiously bad about it, but it worked for my small homelab use cases.

All I see is

Can u get prrrrrreagantè?

Totally- I just think the person I replied to didn’t quite understand the question asked 😆

Tim Curry as the toxic Hexus dude is amazing

So… you weren’t blinded by nostalgia and they were still good? 🤔

Seems like it! That reminds me- I should watch Dredd again!

Who needs musical talent? Or … y’know… basic knowledge of music and musical instruments?

I’m a whale biologist

The penny had fallen?

Here’s a really good podcast episode that includes that question:

Not very good

Consider your teacher’s experience with technology here. They may not understand other setups as well as zoom. Plus if there is technical trouble, that may cut into your instruction time. I’m not a huge fan of big-company services like zoom, Skype, teams, or similar, but unless you and your contacts have the time and know-how to troubleshoot issues if they arise, you may want to stick with a known thing like zoom.

This is probably a bit silly, but everything I’ve seen or heard Riz Ahmed in- he’s been great, except for Aladdin. I guess it was a problem with the script and/or direction but his Jafar was so boring 🥱

joined-up letters

Do you mean cursive?

Crowd control can be a matter of public safety, but the combination of electronic red screen and multiple cameras doesn’t exactly give a pleasant vibe

It is, but Steam has a habit of iterating, maybe we’ll see an updated Steam Link- like device in the future?

Check your local running stores. The app Meetup can be a good place to start, too.

The mainstream shows like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune I don’t mind, they’re generally pretty lighthearted. I figure if someone gets a score up to tens of thousands of dollars but ends up leaving with $1,000 or similar, they’re still leaving with more than they came with, there was no real risk for them, just as there was no guarantee. The further games go from skill and knowledge, the less interesting I find them.

When it comes to folks like MrBeast, he just seems icky to me. I’m glad he does philanthropy, but his challenges just seem like a rich person convincing poorer people to do uncomfortable things for his amusement, all under the thin veneer of YouTube entertainment

Like others have said - couch to 5K or similar, definitely follow a plan. Following a plan can help prevent injury from overuse or burnout if you’re not making progress. I would also suggest active stretches as you get ready to run. Swinging your legs, high stepping, butt kickers, side lunges, walking lunges, etc. The idea is not to increase flexibility with these, but rather to warm up- and don’t do anything that hurts! There’s no need to go nuts. Just to get muscles moving a bit before running
