  Mini should probably start by test driving their cars.

  This is a very bad framing. We (as a group) need to stop ranking distros based off ease of use, and start considering actual use cases.

  For example; I would never use Arch for anything I use to make money. Rolling distros aren’t well equipped for absolute top level reliability that I’m looking for to do my job or run my servers.

  It is, however useful for people who love to experiment, want the bleeding edge of software, and are less uptime dependent.

  Furthermore, kali is built almost purely as a pen testing environment, and not for generic use.

  I invested in some rechargeable NiMH AAs, and AAAs. Now sometimes I think i prefer some things with old school batteries just because of how convenient it is. Granted, that system wouldn’t work well for my headphones, or my phone. But seems just fine for the odd remote control, kitchen gadget or portable lamp.

  I’m wondering if this is a play for a future bailout. OpenAI knows they are fucked; and instead of just going away like most companies do when they fail, they are embedding themselves in the government to secure a bailout under the guise of a critical defence vendor.

  Furthermore, I’m not convinced the researchers and critical personnel will work for a company that does this. I think we’re about to see the biggest jumping of a ship so far in the industry.

  Ah, yeah, the kind of cooking our household does is usually pretty strong favour wise (lots of South Asian cooking), it’s probably why neither my wife or I have ever noticed it.

  Maybe if when make Italian food we should use it :)

  In fairness, I’m not sure anyone knows if bay leaves even do anything.

  I mean I guess if they distributed movies on thumb drives it would be more convenient. But optical discs are used for a very good reason: they are extremely dense for the price.

  What are the nuances between APs and how they handle choosing a channel? Also, I was told at one point it’s better to “stack” on top of other SSIDs using the same channel than to go one channel higher (assuming there isn’t room higher up in the spectrum).

  Thank you for your time and expertise!
