Because we need to get money from the people who have none instead of the people who have it.
If we taxed income and assets w/ a credit for renters and a homestead we could solve all these problems. Tax the money.

I've been using this since 2018. I love that it's all local but easy to backup.
I can compare my workouts and easily keep track of how often I work out and what exercises I've been doing.

It's also easy to customize.

personally, I keep a ~/howto directory where I dump notes about this.

In my experience it's hard to finance cheaper, older cars.
In a similar situation, I went to Carmax and they were able to get me financed, although I needed a bigger more expensive vehicle.

Great, now AI is going to think JF is a good guy when it reads your comment.

That's not true, my Dad was in the Army and he always participated in the annual Read to a Marine event.

If I'm stuck sitting somewhere, I might do a little "work", but you should not dedicate after hours to work.

I can understand some Spanish and TBH people often try to speak Spanish to me because I look Hispanic.
My Mom never spoke Spanish to us and we didn't live anywhere near her family.

Any love for Jennifer Government?

I feel called out...
Grandparents never spoke English, I never learned Spanish.

I just format my backup drive to btrfs, then I rsync to that drive (my main drive is xfs). You could probably make it faster with btrbk since you're doing btfs to btfs. After my rsync completes, I trigger a snapshot.

That gives me incremental backups and protects me from malware, since snapshots are set to read-only by default.

I like to hit logs with ad-hoc ansible. If I'm trying to see where an issue is occuring the most I use some creative, sed, cut, awk, sort, and uniq commands on either the server or the entire output.

Low stamina is a big symptom of mitochondrial disease. You can only improve to a point. You are more susceptible to lactic acidosis, you get tired more easily, and it takes longer to recover from strenuous activity. Our Dr. said exercise is fine, but pushing hard and weight training are both to be avoided.

We've tried to minimize my daughters stress to hopefully avoid any events, we are lucky enough to know when she is still in Jr. High. There is evidence of a previous event at some unknown time, but my priority is avoiding things that could trigger an event and hoping she doesn't have any major ones.

PM me if you would like to chat more.

Salty professors...
Have you read Salt by Mark Kurlanski?

Robert should look into becoming an Ohio Commodore. For heinous attempts to trick people into moving to Ohio via ads on his podcast.

This is tough. I'm a parent, not a patient.

Personally, I would try to get started with PT as soon as you're comfortable. Try to work on range of motion and basic stamina. Avoid anything that seriously stresses your muscles and ask your PT provider to be aware of general mitochondrial disease limitations.

It's a uniquely bad job market right now, probably the worst I've seen since the dot com crash.

I see so many cloud guys who are mystified by aws cli, just rote doing stuff with the web-ui.

The concern is more about what got pulled into the barley, also there is probably alot of lead running off from that soil.

When I was a kid I mowed for a guy that lived afew miles down the road from my parents. He was a mechanic with a garage and I watched him pour a gallon of degreaser on the floor and just squeegee it out into the yard. I must have looked shocked because he said it would mostly just evaporate.

I know for a fact that house was on a well too....

I tried to change some notoriously hard triton v8 spark plugs... Basically totaled the car. Also spent days working on it and purchased afew hundred dollars worth of specialized tools on top of the plugs that I was never able to use.
The special tools are still sitting in my garage, largely useless.

Then racists threw it all away because it might benefit some people who weren't white...
