From what I gather, most people use a simple Linux distro like Ubuntu or Debian with a large community knowledge base. Then run the pieces you want through Docker. It's pretty simple once you learn how.

Your laptop will be perfectly capable.

Unrelated but there are several open source podcast aapps that will do this like AntennaPod or Cardo

No, the screen still absorbs the same amount of light, even when it's producing its own. It is effectively black from the Sun's perspective even when the screen is white.

A display that uses a reflective light display such as LCD or e-ink would be the exception. Since they work by changing reflectiveness, they absorb more or less light from their surface.

Wait, now it's only $700 million. $400 million. $34 million... And it's $6.50.

Yeah, I guess there is someone out there who would buy a fleet of dumpster cars for $6.50.

Thoughts are habits. You can't always change your circumstances, but you can change the way you think about them. The more you practice healthy thought patterns, the better you develop good habits.

That I can get behind!

I probably overstated by saying it is equally dangerous with somebody driving drunk. However, there are lots of studies that show it causes serious impairment.

My federal loan servicer has confirmed that repayment requirements will begin in August at the previous lower rate. That's as much as I can personally confirm.

For sure there's still a lot of uncertainty and who knows what will change between now and then, or in the future.

Not sure what you mean.

The Democrats did work on student loans. Biden forgave millions of loans and the Republican Congress overturned it in the Conservative courts. So he capped repayment for most borrowers (I've verified with my own loan that the lower rates are still active), and placed almost all loans in forbearance. It was the closest thing to forgiveness that was legally achievable.

Then leftists decided he was too old to be re-elected. Harris promised to continue the fight, as well as advance other progressive causes like criminal justice reform, federal decriminalization of marijuana, etc. We all know what happened there.

Let's not rewrite history here.

BAC is also well correlated with impairment. Obviously it varies from one individual to another, but it is related strongly related enough to have fair and consistent enforcement.

AFAIK, blood tests that measure the presence of marijuana are relatively cheap, but measuring the concentration is slightly more difficult and is not well correlated with impairment. That means enforcement is problematic and subjective.

Look, I feel the same about liquor stores and mattress stores, to name a few. There are some nice examples, but most I don't like to see.

Again, that's my opinion and does not deserve any legislation. I'm glad other people feel differently. Businesses serve the needs of a community, not the feelings of internet randos. OP asked for our honest opinion and that's just mine.

Having lived in both, absolutely legalize.

I don't personally care for it and I get annoyed by the public smells, the tacky and run-down stores that make neighborhoods feel trashy. But that's all personal preference.

The one legitimate issue is that it is very difficult to regulate and enforce impairment. Someone driving or operating machinery high is just as dangerous as someone driving drunk. With alcohol, there are a number of different tests and impairment is well correlated with BAC. For marijuana, there is no quick and accurate way to assess how high someone is at a given time.

"Birds aren't real" conspiracy theory coming true.

Cool, I never heard of this, but it's a great review. Thanks!
