False, just mentioned our apartment.

For the ones that need upgrades, we’re talking extension-cord-level technology.

A what?

Nope, our 1970s apartment garage has 120V outlets and light fixtures, some have been tapped, and the rest could cheaply.

How does this intersect with screen time, which is quite convoluted and buggy. Should I have used this instead?

Whenever I’m in a hurry the local gas stations are swamped. Twenty minutes is common, thirty minutes not uncommon. A month ago the pump we were on was broken and had to get my money back and abandon the attempt. Had no more than ten minutes to fuel and couldn’t do it.

See, we can apply the same brand of defeatism to anything.

120v slow charging, only needs a dongle perhaps. Fine for most people who aren’t road warriors.

240v medium charging often needs a wall mount charger, though can plug into a dryer/oven outlet. More expensive but meets the needs of everyone.

Doesn’t matter, go to a charging station once every two weeks if/when charging gets behind. If you’re determined to fail instead of succeed there’s always more excuses to be made.

There’s a good tech connections series on this. Slow home charging has been doable for quite a while.

Don’t believe anyone is hiring “switchers” or people looking to learn new things these days. I only get interviews for things that done the last ten years.

Folks saying it doesn’t matter are correct in times of scarcity, but was always a hard sell to employers. Currently impossible without personal connections.

I hoped so but there's a well-used "vibecoding" tag there and an admonishing/narrow focus that excludes many other interesting topics. A site needs some of that but they are strict to the point the place is kinda barren.

e.g. I recently submitted a page about new FOSS-oriented hardware and it was rejected as "business news - offtopic." Well, no wonder this place is a ghost town.

Is there a new ticker id? I couldn’t find it between the ads.

Today I recommend Star Labs, another underrated brand that ships machines with coreboot.

An ASCII page is about 4k, so roughly 1000 pages.

The usbc ones are just extension cables in a small box, which is why they are half the price of the others.

Good, because nothing “problematic” about an individual matters one bit when presented with nefarious government activities. It’s obvious distraction technique 101.

Not enough info, maybe bad brand or dosage. Maybe you have other immune issues.

Not well known but there are people who simply can not absorb D thru the gut. A high school friend is one. Shouldn’t discourage the 90%+ who can benefit because of exceptions.

Security now, but there’s more recent info today. Today I take 5k D3, K2 Mk7, and a multivitamin several times a week, not every day. More in winter.

Result: not been sick more than a day or two for fifteen years. And rarely, once or twice a winter.

One exception, during covid I had it and it lasted five full days at medium intensity, then went away permanently.

This is not a “placebo effect” at all, was like turning on a light switch, immediate results. During the winter I heard about it, I’d been sick for almost three weeks straight, couldn’t shake it. Naysayers look silly in my opinion, or are perhaps an exception I mentioned above.
