Tiger Direct had a 1GB card in 2002 and it was $900. Blew my money in a 128MB card and lost it. Heart broken.

Just can’t afford $99, but maybe one day I can land a used copy. Sounds fascinating.

Experimenting with spreading mine on a cookie sheet to dry in the sun. Chop it up and you got handy fire starters.

EDIT: It works perfectly!

Nope, it’s the government’s mileage standards. If you make a truck with a shorter wheelbase and track, it has to hit higher gas mileage standards. Easier to make a big truck that’s allowed worse mileage.

Also, I did a brief stint selling cars in the 90s. One of the salesmen explained it like this, "What’s the real difference in a big truck and a small truck? Same engineering effort, same production work, all that. Hell, same parts for most systems.

More steel on the big one, and steel is cheap. We can charge a premium for the larger truck."

A firewall blocks in and outbound ports. Windows Advanced Firewall already does this.

If you want more fine-grained control, look to your router. I use a Netgate pfSense rackmount appliance. You can do the same with an OpenSense or pfSense router running on a toaster.

Be glad to help if you have questions!

Using a Silver Dragon is clever.

Loud as hell too! Sounds like god’s own hornet when they buzz you.

“…it’s illegal,” the attorney general said in a statement.”

So why is no one in jail? If I break the law, the state must sue me to enforce?

Thought this was a Hyperion reference for a sec.

My experience with Zoho is out of date, but I was happy with them several years ago.

I’m fine with Google everything ATM. I keep local backups and Google Drive for offsite. 2TB for ~$100/yr. I think? I have one weird issue with Drive, but I don’t expect much support as it’s probably my fault/misunderstanding. Plus, it all works well with our (wife’s) Androids. Easy sharing, all that.

We use Google at work for our IdP and that’s been nice for a distributed work force. OTOH, no centralization kinda sucks. My team may be enforcing Active Directory this year. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe we can pair on this and learn together? Love to investigate Zoho gain. Always looking for new solutions and Zoho never turned me off.

where travel to clinics for monthly injections is difficult

The every-other-month PrEP injection is just beginning to make its way into Africa, but it is expensive and difficult for people in many areas to access.

So, what’s the PrEP treatment about?

Spotify is the only service I pay for. Quite happy with it.

And apparently I listen to FAR more John Denver than I ever would have guessed. My teenage punker self would smack me.

Nope, I think you nailed it.

I’ve trained my personal AI, my brain, by ingesting 1,000+ books. So now I can’t write a book?

Suppose I use a Stephen King phrase, “friends and neighbors”. Can’t use that? Of course I can.

LOL, I’ve had that buried for so long I had to hunt for it to see what OP was talking about. Talk about a non-issue.

Horcruxes if you will.

In the hands of a skilled slinger, they are no joke at all.

Somebody needs to play with https://neal.fun/asteroid-launcher/

This is not on Google and in any way, shape or form. Google Maps is not a civil engineering project. Google is not a state or local governing entity.

What’s next? Google gets sued because someone missed out on an important interview? “Google Maps mislead me and caused me to lose out on a prospective job offer.”

How in hell were vandals able to remove anything?! There should have been dragon’s teeth or something similar blocking the road.

I’m surprised they’re still around! That’s my go-to site for torrents, and I almost always find what I’m looking for.
