My elderly neighbor needed a computer to do accounting, I set her up with Mint on a T430 w/ LibreOffice and told her I'd giver her free support till the laptop died.

5 years on and the only time I've had to fulfill my side of the bargain was when her printer was out of paper and she couldn't find her eye glasses to read the error message.

In what reality is there any need for a door-hook camera

maybe for when the police illegally raid, eat your lemon pound cake, steal your money and fuck up your visible cameras?

just because YOU can't think of any use other than creepy doesn't mean the rest of us are so afflicted.

pirates don't use windows.

Linux mint is easy, transmission is a great torrent client, if you remove all trackers from each torrent your ISP never knows what you're doing

hoisting a heavy object to the top of a slope

in a Missouri USA they pump water up a hill then drain it back when demand increases, it's a rather large system. In Al'Abama an individual is using underground salt water tanks to store hot an cold salt water for HVAC and electric on his farm.

personally.... I use solar electric to drive a 10k/btu AC and scavenge the unit's waste heat as a food dehydrator, storing food is also storing solar energy and the AC keeps is pleasant indoors.

Garcia said he doubts Wheeler will ever be prosecuted, since no attempt has been made to extradite her from Colorado, and he was told by the D.A.’s office any arrest warrant filed would only include immediately surrounding states, which doesn’t include Colorado.

Steal $767k and bounce one state over and there's no penalty other than "don't go back to Texas".... neato

Hola from s Puerto Rico, having survived 500+ earthquakes I've never seen these lights and have never seen security camera footage of these lights. I have seen transformers explode in earthquakes, those make pretty lights.

if there's no guard posted at the door I bring my bicycle inside the grocery store and park it with the carts. I've never had a complaint.
