It tastes like ass, but over time you grow to enjoy the taste of ass, and eventually you prefer the taste of ass .

When I lived in Pittsburgh we had daily brownouts, I lived in 3 different rentals in three different neighborhoods and almost every day my lights would dim then brighten. It killed so many cheap Walmart LEDs, but I never lost any computer equipment because I had a UPS for every device. I wouldn't get them from the garbage room at the university, and occasionally buy them from thrift stores and replace the batteries.

I just bought myself a Bambu P1S, after building and modifying ender3s since 2019. I love tinkering and customizing things but it's nice to have a printer that just works. Its so reliable that my wife can now print her own stuff using the app instead of giving me a list. The only thing I really have to do is change the filaments loaded in the AMS for her. If you have no experience printing I would just get a A1 mini and use it until you run into the limitations.

Outside of the Authority, all have been adapted in live action before, but I'm hopeful for the future with James Gunn. I really just want to get a Static movie franchise, but I'll settle for just more super man stuff, and less shows about Batman's cousin in law.

I wish WB would realize DC has more ip outside of Batman.

If you live near a college campus, check out their recycling center or campus surplus. Lots of IT departments just toss UPS when they upgrade equipment regardless of battery status. I like to grab APC ones because the battery replacements are easy to find and there's usually a YouTube video for the exact model with someone refurbing it.

I have a PhD in biochemistry, a good job, a wife and a loving family. I have enough free time to contemplate my own place in the world and worry about if my work will have a positive or negative impact on society, because my grandfather who's grandparents were slaves, started a real estate company by house hacking in the 1970s. That allowed my parents and me to live comfortable lives. Having this safety net allowed us to take risks and persue careers that we enjoyed.

I loved everything about the force awakens, but I will never forget the emptiness and depression I felt leaving theater after seeing the last Jedi. I know its from a place of privilege that I can feel this way, but I never had another piece of fiction hurt me so badly. I grew up deep into the EU and games and it was my way to escape the existentialism of my daily life, and I was looking forward to see my fictional hero at as a full power Jedi master on the big screen. Now all I feel is apathy when It comes to start wars.
