If you have Costco membership, their optical department is pretty affordable. Frames are $50-80. Lenses another $80 or so, but depends on complexity and of you get transitions and whatnot.

Glad to hear. Our little ones love them too!

You’re welcome.

Plazma (Lane) Biscuits, 600g https://a.co/d/2zIZ29U

They have some vitamins and iron, not too much fat or sugar, but still taste great. There is also a ground version that can be eaten with milk, kind of like a sweet porridge - but better.

Factorio and OpenTTD

Yes, all packages in nixos are available as binaries to download.

The comparison with Arch was just in terms of number of packages. Not the binary availability.

At the bottom of this page, they say that binary cache is currently at 120TB. https://nixos.org/community/index.html

If packages being available as binaries is the main criteria, nix has you covered there.

The biggest issue for most people with Nixos is the learning curve just because it’s so different.

Nixos will use/download cached binaries that are available in its repo. It has one of the biggest repositories of any Linux distro. It’s on par with Arch with around 90 thousand packages.

Unless you are doing something custom or niche, your nixos won’t have to compile anything.

Technically correct, but there are systems that don’t have to rely on maps per say. For example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation where representatives are assigned proportionally based on the votes. You don’t have “your own representative”.

Obviously there are downsides to this, but at the same time it requires no districts and manipulation in that regard is not possible.

They don’t expect to go bankrupt by 2033. That’s when the surplus/reserves will run out. The system doesn’t have the fixed amount of money. Current employees are constantly paying into it.

20% is the shortfall between payout vs people paying in. And it will only happen if it’s not addressed. Which I’m sure will get addressed last minute or something like that.

Wikipedia has pretty detailed account of Israel Palestine conflict including all the sources

It’s not right now, that’s true. Both sides are moving more extreme and away from a peaceful solution. But historically Arabs were far less open to the idea of two state solution. Starting with the partition plan of 1947.

Israel proposed/accepted/was in favor of two state solution multiple times throughout history. It was Palestinians who rejected it.

Does burn ban apply to BBQ? I always assumed that’s enclosed fire.

MikroTik is super powerful, customizable and affordable.

Such a good point. I’m honestly surprised people recommend Nextcloud so frequently. I’ve used it in a commercial environment and it sucks ass. It broke numerous times when upgrading, it was buggy and slow. At the time their GitHub page had like 4k open issues and another 8k closed. Looks like it’s somewhat better now. Many of issues we’ve experienced were reported but no movement for years. It’s like least stable OSS I had dealt with.
