That describes my family. We've done Airbnb and VRBO, but now pretty much stick to hotels. You know what you're getting, price is competitive, to bdint have to wash your own bedding, and a lot of hotel workers are unionized. That's all in addition to the awareness that every Airbnb house could be a home for someone who needs it. I won't be sad if the Airbnb model folds and helps the housing market regain a bit of sanity

Good thing we didn't "defund the police" so taxpayers can keep paying police to violate their rights. This will continue and worsen until there is some incentive in place for police to follow the law

I generally try not to bring it up, but I know folks that've resumed eating meat and we're welcomed back with high-fives. This argues against the "preachy" argument in this thread. And people don't get criticized the same way over eating unnutritious fast food all the time. My view is that some people feel criticized by other folks' different life choices. When Alice to be in an out group, Betty is confronted with their own life choices.

I'm no help here, but I have been thinking strongly of converting an old windows box to Linux gaming with steam, so I'm hoping someone can help OP and I can pretroubleshoot my own transition. Steam has their own debian-based OS, right? I was planning on falling back to that if proton didn't work

I have small kids whose sleep schedule is delicate and last change took us a week to recover from. It's a needless, counterproductive, inherited tradition. I didn't mind the change when it was just me, but it's a lot of needless stress now. Also apparently, it causes accidents
