Good on you for your precautions, but it sounds like you are actually in IT. Plenty of good parents can barely keep a router running, much less configure the domain and assign privileges the way you have. And even if they do, kids are remarkably adept at crafting ways around parental restrictions. Then there’s the…

It probably feels refreshing because most Linux install guides are written by neckbeards who always give things overtones of “Microsoft is literally the devil” and “by using Linux, you will be superior to all the normies who use Windows”.

1. Wow. This is an incredibly affordable platform.
2. I wonder if the flatform with the flamethrower would be helpful in managing firelines.

I get to sit down all day when I work. Factory workers often don’t. Is that morally wrong? I get to work in a relatively quiet, semi-private environment. Factory workers don’t. Is that morally wrong?

Also, I’ve never heard of the idea of reservations being “old-fashioned” from the customer side. If anything the more common situation I’ve found is where I want to make a reservation, but the restaurant isn’t doing them. Which I can understand if they for whatever reason aren’t signed up for services that require a…

No.

Slideshows suck and this one IN particular does.

Yeah, but I’ve also heard a lot of complaints from non-HOA people because their neighbors did stuff that an HOA would have prevented.

For example: Neighbor modified backyard and caused excessive flooding in my friend’s backyard.
Additional: neighbor let the house go to seed and brought down friend’s property value.

Eh, I like my HOA.

I live in Arizona, which is overflowing with HOAs. I looked at some houses that weren’t part of HOAs, but the people in those neighborhoods seemed to be extremely of the "I'll do whatever the hell I want" variety. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anywhere in the middle ground.

Because The Book of Boba Fett was likely not (at least initially) a full spin-off.
