I have a theory as to why people in my country discuss US politics more than our own. People want to talk about something more ‘important’ than the latest reality talent show, but don’t want to risk talking about local politics. US politics is square in the middle, splashed across our feeds constantly.

I just can’t wait until elections continue their downward spiral, and presidential candidates need to sing country songs to Snoop Dog so they don’t get voted off the island.

Oooh, this is promising… I’ll check it out, if it’s what I hope it is, thank you!

I’m not sure on either front- never used LibreOffice Draw. Visio does, but for me, it’s not worth it.

I like draw.io, but the killer feature I want is auto-layout. As soon as a flowchart gets a little complex, things get really fiddly. I wish I could hit ‘auto-arrange’ and it would do some approximation of a tidy layout.

Is Docker considered virtualisation?

Thanks. As bare metal is quite a bit more expensive, what would I lose by going to a VPS? I’m assuming Proxmox and Windows, assuming I wanted to go with a Linux VPS. Would there be issues with running Docker containers with the VPS?

But then people would be confused and think Greece was invading.

Most Europeans are also illegal aliens from somewhere else.

The chest strap?

Bookmarked for later.

Mass produced to be as cheap as possible, vs carefully built and engineered to last as long as possible.

Fatmap. It was freemium, but now it’s moving into Strava, who knows how much of it they’ll hide behind subscriptions.

There’s so many great FOSS maps, but I haven’t seen any that give you the 3D view that Fatmap does. It’s essentially Google Earth with overlays of routes for various activities.

The Adventure Zone is good for the same reason as Dimension 20. A lot of DnD ‘actual play’ podcasts are people who play a great game of DnD, but don’t make a great podcast.

TAZ is a bunch of comedy podcasters who decided to play DnD for a goof, and it works. The first arc has a rough first couple episodes, but it turns into one of my most beloved pieces of media across any format.

I stopped using my MacBook Air after 9 years. I did a battery swap at some point, and I think I replaced the charger after the cable frayed. Best windows machine I ever ran.

Plenty of type I come out sideways- they are lower profile than most I’ve seen, slightly more so than type G.

This can actually be a bit of an annoyance, sometimes… If the socket is right next to the floor, or in a densely packed area, for example, it can make plugging difficult.

And if it does have a ground pin, it’s mandated that the ground be longer than the power pins, for exactly the reason you mentioned about G,D,M.

The recessed feature of F I do like, even if it makes the plugs physically larger than they need to be.

Ok, so when I’m next driving through a Swiss tunnel, and suddenly the tunnel twists inside itself infinitely, I can blame FreeCAD.

Type I. The angled pins make it much more stable than F, and there’s heaps of options for cable exiting sideways, upwards, downwards, straight out, etc .
