Maybe not a tip, but a perspective. Someone posted it here, and I've tried to make it my life.

Re:Dracula Theme – A dark theme for many different apps on Thursday December 09, 2021 @12:24PM (#29500239)

Random thought, ever think about using something like greasemonkey to add themes to websites? It would probably be difficult, but something like adding a dracula theme to google, lichess, hacker news, etc would be awesome.

Agreed actually. I plan on building a new house in 15 years (playing the long game here), it will be concrete and a Faraday cage.

They also have whole house surge protectors too.

People have added layers of aluminum foil (or metal mesh) to create a whole house Faraday cage.

My wife and I get a greenberg smoked turkey delivered.. I know it's probably not as fun as cooking one, but we tend to go nuts on the sides, so having an awesome smoked turkey just shipped to us works. Plus they have the best website url ever, https://gobblegobble.com

Been using (and paying) MobaXterm for years and have nothing but good things to say for it. All my servers are added the right tab my project, having the ability to just drop files over to be scp'ed and a slew of other useful tools embedded into the program.

Re:DEA Still Insists Marijuana Has No ‘Accepted Medical Use' on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @04:26PM (#28699456)

Just to point out, the "war on drugs" is just slightly veiled systemic racism in both who is targeted and for how long they are put away. Just another way for a person of color to lose their voting rights by becoming a felon.

If the US really wanted to fight the war on drugs it would take a recovery approach and treat addiction like a disease.
