Someone should write an Emacs guide for people who haven't meaningfully touched their .emacs since the early 2000s

I think you are wrong.

They never asked for one becase they never imagined being able to afford one.

The amount of administration organizing a normal household takes I suspect most would be glad to leave to someon/something they trust and that can be held accountable.

Today that someone needs to be a person (imo). But who knows, a startup may be plotting accountable digital assistans as we speak.

Your experience isn’t representative. Mine isn’t either.

This brings back memories. I used CoyoteLinux to surreptitiously share my ADSL connection with my SO. This was against my provider's ToS at the time.

Having one digit numbers count as a palindromes takes away most of the amazement.

They tried to up-sell me when I was in the chair during surgery. (sweden)

My mom got angry and asked why no one had told her how wrinkly she'd gotten.

The trust is gone. Even if the dems win the next election, we now know that the US isn't stable enough to handle one rouge president.

With the massive cost of shifting infrastructure, those scared away by the current US administration is mostly gone for good.

This calendar is what we work after

A useful addition would be to show weekdays/weekends with a localization option for holidays (Here in Sweden we have 5 days off this Q2)

You must be of size medium to small then because legroom is definitly an issue for me, especially for longer flights and I'm just 180cm. (just below average hight)

Or alternativly you can afford better seats than me.

It will have atleast be > than zero, and doing it every year instead of giving it away to some overpriced CEO will it will accumulate.

Probably sarcastic as the temperature of Nairobi is quite moderate. A quick web serach states that the average summer temperature is

I see it's read only

Is it possible to launch a browser for writing replys/comments?

Both will get you where you want to go, but I don't think the usecase for perl and awk are the same.

I reach for awk when my bash-scripts get a bit messy, perl is/was for when I want to build a small application (or nowdays python).

But both perl and python require cpan/pip to get the most out of and with awk, I just nead awk.

The common solution is having an UPS and a NAS that supports graceful shutdown when the UPS detects powerloss

Ten Lessons I Wish I Had Been Taught - Gian-Carlo Rota

    Lecturing:  
        Make only one main point: Reiterate the key message to keep the audience focused.  
        Never run overtime: Attention wanes after 50 minutes.  
        Relate to your audience: Mention someone’s work to engage them.  
        Give them something to take home: Memorable lectures often include anecdotes or jokes.  

    Blackboard Technique:  
        Ensure the blackboard is spotless: It conveys a sense of order and clarity.  
        Start writing on the top left-hand corner: Write slowly and legibly to aid note-taking.  

    Publish the Same Result Several Times:
        Adapt the same result for different audiences to prevent it from being overlooked or rediscovered.

    Expository Work:
        Expository writing often garners more recognition than original research.

    Rely on a Few Tricks:
        Even the best mathematicians, like Hilbert, use a few fundamental techniques repeatedly.

    Do Not Worry About Mistakes:
        Mistakes are part of the learning process and can often be corrected without major changes.

    Use the Feynman Method:
        Keep favorite problems in mind and apply new techniques to them. This approach can lead to breakthroughs.

    Give Lavish Acknowledgments:
        Generous citations can foster goodwill and may lead to unexpected positive feedback.

    Write Informative Introductions:
        A comprehensive introduction can attract and motivate readers to delve into the paper.

    Be Prepared for Old Age:
        Transition from being viewed as an individual to being regarded as an institution. Embrace this new role and the expectations that come with it.

No it won't. Proof myself

Not OP, but I used to do this regularly in the early '90s.

I accessed Usenet from my university, printed it very cheaply, and brought it home.

My home PC didn't have any internet connection until a couple of years later when I could afford a 9600bps modem.

As to diskdrives, when I started our uni-workstations could'nt read a dos/win3.1 disk

probably because biohacking has a reputation for being rather expensive

I chuckled a bit when he used Richard Feynman as an example of someone 'not crazy'.

I read somewhere from one of his collegues (parafrased) "Of course he's crazy, but not in the bad way"

I suppose 'eccentric vs crazy' is a on a subjective sliding scale

A friend told me to get down to "The Pub" on friday as she would bring someone she thougt I ought to meet.

I was a year or so out of a 15 years relationship by then and she knew I had started to 'look around' again

Besides any privacy issues, a someone that wears glasses full time the 4hour battery limit makes this a no starter

I'm terrible at remembering names. This would be so useful on when attending workrelated functions.
