At least there is some kind of positive intent or consent (usually), not so on Mr.Bones' Wild Ride

I don't know how to tell you this, but you can't get off

Yeah, streetview while the garbage truck or street view car was moving.

Nah, roll it into a cone with the topings on the outside and try to suck the crust though the topings.

E Pluribus Anus for life

No doubt, and I know the cost is distributed across the entire pool. I just mention it as a reference point.

Our neighborhood is older homes on higher elevation vs a significant percentage of newer developments that are in the flood plain (since that is the remaining land around here) Realistically, the insurance companies and developers share some blame in this because if you don't build houses in the higher risk areas, you are less likely to have to pay out significant claims on something. But, money upfront is all these people are going for.

I can tell you our homeowners insurance went up by $120/month near Houston. Never flooded, never froze, never had wind damage, never had a claim. Our house is under 2000sqft and inland.

• I am trying to do self hosted services and storage at home for my digital stuff. This helps minimize e-waste since I follow a model of upgrade my primary device, then deprecate the previous system to hosting duty
• we do composting and try to do as much zero waste food as possible
• I garden for polinators and vegetables in the free space around our house. I have some grass for the kids/dog but we use no chemicals on any of our plants/yard
• 2 50 gallon rain barrels
• goal for next year is partial solar and additional waste reduction.
• I also started a job that is ~1 mile from home vs 37 each way so my fuel consumption basically dropped to 0

Anecdotal plug, I have had the best luck with Toshiba drives. In my current NAS I am using seagate 12tb recert ironwolf drives but that only has a month of uptime so far.

Before those I ran Toshiba 4tb NAS drives, and before that Toshiba 2tb red drives for 8years with no issues and 100% uptime in a drivepool windows setup. My last couple of backup drives were 6th WD drives and I am 2 for 2 on premature drive failures with those.

I also refuse to run WD online type devices since the mybooklive/mycloud security issues that resulted in significant data loss and WD refused to patch it. Instead they gave pile a $50 credit for a new drive

I would certainly hope not. I have really enjoyed it as my first post-windows os. Its been 99% smooth sailing.

I've shifted to 7-4 and it made a huge differenc e post kids. If my company would let us bounce before 4, I would do a shorter lunch and earlier start but it is still way better than getting home at 5:30 or 6.

I have had 2 toxic ones and am currently with a great one. The amount of stress that I lost when I found my current gig lowered my blood pressure by 20 points... Don't stick sround for that shit. Get your resume together and find somewhere else. It is not worth your health.
