Glad to see somebody else notice this. I find getting a large plastic cup with these "disintegrate halfway though" paper straws bloody ridiculous.
I never had an issue with the paper cups. He'll, I'd be more than happy if more places offered discounts to fill your own and I could just keep a clean tumbler in my bag/car.
If you're willing to wade into FB Marketplace there's also a lot of mini Dell/HP PC's - probably retired business workstations - out there for cheap with 8-16GB of RAM.
They make dandy TV boxes of mini homelab hosts
Yeah it looks made me disappointed I never acquired any to share with friends and family
So basically the chocolatey version of the infamous sugar-free Haribo gummy bears?
They share many of the same hatreds but not always the same goals...
He's a pretty good example of chaotic good in this case
I'm in that ballpark (ok a bit over).
I'm in that vicinity (ok a bit last) and I think it kinda depends on what you're doing. Talking to anyone about the latest meme/influencer BS will quickly make my head want to explode, but then again so does taking to prior my own age or older who engage in social-media-spawned politics.
But I also host people in the teens to early 20's, and I absolutely love engaging with them in activities. Suddenly, those sites you've already seen a hundred times and stopped noticing become kinda new again.
It kinda goes the other way around too. There are many things I do that may beyond the means of younger people, especially stuff that involves technology which has massively jumped in cost these last few years (thanks AI tech-bros) but I'd already had before. They get to enjoy some of the stuff I like without having to front the cost-of-entry, and I get to enjoy sharing. Heck, even stuff like certain repairs/renos/shop-work can be interesting to somebody whose never had the opportunity to go hands-on.
I might not have the energy to do all the late night social stuff that somebody half my age does, but I do have the resources and energy-drinks to host a periodic late-night movie-watch, LAN-gaming session, aurora-hunting, how-to-do-X or various other stuff that we can all enjoy.
I think the biggest hurdle these days is allowing people across ages to find mentors without running into (or seeming like) creeps.
No, I got an error a bunch of times and it didn't seem to actually post
Yeah, cameras should almost always be on a segregated network, preferably with port-security. The NVR may need to connect to the Internet for updates - assuming one can't just upload that via the UI - but that's about it.
Yup. Same. The first one I had actually indicated I was legitimately worried that the situation would lead to violence. Instead it flagged me as advocating for violence. The exact opposite of what I'd said.
