Yeah that can’t continue. You need to let someone know how bad it’s gotten and that your mother won’t help you; a teacher you trust, etc. Next time, before it escalates very far if possible, call the police.

Mayonnaise. Fight me.

Yeah, this is something always in the back of my mind. There’s no way I could replace the one in my car without serious modification. There’s a bunch of shit integrated into it (heat/air controls, safety feature toggles, etc.) and it takes up the entire center of the dashboard.

I don’t have any tips, but I wish I did. My car’s just over a year old and I don’t even like driving it since I found out it’s spying on me all the time. The ‘infotainment’ system is also integrated with everything in the vehicle so turning it off isn’t an option. I really like the car, but I feel like privacy is something that shouldn’t have to be a consideration when buying a vehicle. I’m just about positive there’s not a new vehicle available in the US market without one of these things in it unless you’re buying fleet vehicles.

Why would I want to do the extra work when there are other options available that just don’t store the notes in a db?

Database storage for notes is a non-starter for me.

I don’t disagree with you, but the difference isn’t drastic enough for it to matter to me.

I’d use Vivaldi if it wasn’t Chromium-based. The fact that it is makes it an instant no for me.

I always heard it as blood from a stone, but yeah.

You can get used Yokogawa AXF water meters pretty cheap on eBay. They’ll put out a 4-20mA signal and as long as you get the right version for your local power you can just wire a cord to it and plug it into the wall. Only measure flow and I think temperature though.

Go into your bios and change boot order.

WTF is an extra HDD?

To be fair, there are about 20 versions of Firefox too. It’s just that most of them aren’t there to Hoover up ad revenue.
