  • It’s still around, there might even be an active scene near you that you could join in with if you’re inclined. Last few shows I’ve seen in the northeast U.S. were for Doom Scroll, Hans Gruber and the Die Hards, Playboy Manbaby, Sister Wife Sex Strike, Bad Cop/Bad Cop, and probably some others I’m not thinking of right this second. They all have songs about the current state of things and how expensive shit is.

    Lots of bands in the UK too, offhand Lambrini Girls and Bob Vylan are pretty great. Hell if you want an example of the current state of things Bob Vylan actually had their travel Visas revoked in the U.S. so they can no longer play shows in the U.S.



  • Linux would make more sense but if you’re dead-set on Windows then I guess you could try Win 11 Pro (or Enterprise) with whichever debloat tool you prefer. I’ve had good experience with Win11Debloat (https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat).

    Don’t expect too much with 8GB RAM but at least you can start out removing the AI stuff, Windows Store apps, etc. to trim down the bloat. Be prepared to have to re-run debloat scripts and/or re-install Windows, Microsoft likes to add new types of bloat post-install.

    And keep an eye on any and all apps and services that are configuring themselves to auto-start on Windows boot, you don’t need any optional stuff to auto-start and take up memory in the background if you’re constrained to 8GB RAM.







  • I suspect it’s partly a safety / comfort thing, female drivers don’t necessarily want to be hit on or harassed by every other male passenger they pick up.

    They do exist, I just assume they’re armed in case they pick up some dude that starts acting up… The one woman I personally knew that was an uber driver always had a weapon her on side of the car just in case.




  • That’s not normal. Not trying to sound harsh but most likely your dad doesn’t know what he’s doing / has no money to properly maintain or fix/replace the heating system you’re using now. Not sure what type of system you guys use but generally speaking well maintained heating systems do need some maintenance every year to keep them running efficiently. Usually the household does that sort of work in the fall/early winter.

    Or maybe your dad is such a penny pincher that they think $2500 or the $ for proper yearly maintenance is more money vs using space heaters. That kind of thinking is a bit silly since usually the electric bills you accumulate year over year running space heaters in every room adds up to way more than just fixing the heating system properly.






  • For me it was eggs. My mom wasn’t that great a cook and she’d only make two types of eggs: hard boiled eggs or these sort of way way overcooked sunny side up eggs. Never liked either so grew up thinking I just don’t like eating eggs.

    Later on as I got older I realized there are other egg dishes and I actually really like eggs. Scrambled eggs is pretty much my favorite breakfast. A close second is egg and cheese on a bagel.
