This is great, living in MA I see a majority of houses relying on old oil heating systems. Just checking Zillow listings and seeing the big ugly black tank in the basement it’s very common. Mini split systems with heat pumps have started popping up more, especially in these older houses where it’s easier to install than trying to install duct work for a full sized HVAC system.

Garlic bread? No, no, sweetie. Breaded garlic.

Funny enough my girlfriend and I just got Toyota’s, so we should have reliable vehicles for the next 30 years

I won’t buy a Ford because they’re dog shit vehicles

We are not the same

Only if you’re a fan of his lobster

Damn, did we have the same ex-wife?

Babe wake up, new backrooms just dropped

Not entirely true in my case, I’ve got an old Inspiron 530 that I have been trying to figure out what to do with. Well it ran Vista from the factory so that’s worthless now, so I figured I’d try putting Linux on it. Every single distro I tried installing just wouldn’t get past the splash screen. Mint, Ubuntu, Arch (GUI and manual installer), Pop_OS, ChimeraOS, nothing. Trying different USB media writing methods did nothing or made it not even show as a bootable device. Finally got Xunbuntu to work on it and even that took 3 attempts to install.

I’ve got a more recent HP that was originally Win 7 that did have a much higher success rate and an old Acer laptop that straight up will not boot Linux without a high amount of errors or just completely borked graphics even with multiple distros.

But I’m also an idiot so it’s probably me.

Most places it’s severely defunded or mismanaged. In my town the waiting list is extremely long, housing was limited for years before the recent housing crisis and for some reason they don’t even follow the list of people they have waiting, they skip around. There’s public and section 8 housing that sits vacant for months or years even though the list of applicants is a mile long.

All these alien and wackjob FB conspiracy posts seem like someone is just asking Chat GPT to spit out the wackiest conspiracy theory it can come up with, then posting it as an “article.”

I have the choice of moving to Brazil, not Rio or São Paulo but to the north eastern part. I have too many family ties here in the US to make the move, but when I get older or if shit really goes off the rails here I will. I’ll probably just buy a small shipping container and bring my irreplaceable stuff in it and send it down on a boat. Would it be expensive? Sure, but if I sell off what I won’t be bringing it’ll more than outweigh those costs. Or maybe I’ll win the lottery, if I ever bought tickets.

Nah, those little pretzel sticks do that, it’s like eating an actual stick
