If the Medicaid and social security things go through, it'll be much sooner than that. My brothers and I paid for a new hvac system for their house last year, which gives an idea of the financial issue they are likely to face.
It was actually about my job (I work for the federal government), but same issue. He, my mother, and my brother voted for something that directly impacts me.
There's a guy up thread saying I shouldn't take it personally, but how can I not? They're the ones making jokes about how hard I don't work.
Had kind of a similar conversation with my dad recently. "I'm sorry you feel that way." "Well they're cutting Medicaid, so we'll see how that goes for you."
I read most of his points and I agree with them...
But I have so much else to worry about, I just can't get worked up about this.
And I think he is ignoring the firestorm that would ensue if, say, openssh tried to change from using the current directory. There would probably be five forks started immediately to restore the original functionality - and is ssh really adding new features like he claims?
Maybe it could be a config option in the site install (which I thought it already was), but forcing a change to fix what is a minor problem isn't worth the headache.
I do hate that some of those package systems install software into home. It inflates my backups dramatically and unnecessarily. I use opt for that sort of thing instead. For example, my immich docker install is in /opt.
There's a push to use it in my office. Specifically to hopefully reduce the number of people we need to review cases and code them appropriately.
Ooooh they said, Ai can totally do that!
Then in the most recent meeting, it changed to "Ai will give the clerk a summary and recommendation!" So we aren't reducing the number of clerks, and they'll just follow whatever the Ai says rather than checking the cases themselves. Just another thing to train them on and have go wrong.
In the interest of pleasing my bosses, the research is continuing, but I have little hope it's going to be helpful. I talked them out of giving the text to the clerk, but instead save the recommendation and see how it matches up to the clerk. Then it's at least a fair test.
Mine decided to randomly start rebooting about a year ago. :( Tried everything I could think of to get it to work normally, but nothing helped. I couldn't rely on it, so I had to replace it. Like you, I hadn't planned to replace it any time soon.
In the US, if you don't have the loyalty card, you're paying more for groceries. For the stores we use, any sale prices are contingent upon using the loyalty card. This can add up to $5-$10 per order.
I'm not clear what you've done here, but I've never played with the purge command. I take it you removed a lot of basic packages. How did it happen? Wildcards?
I keep water by my bed at night. I usually don't drink any, but occasionally I've woken up and drank the whole thing without stopping, and other times I'll have a few sips.
It's worth it to not have to trudge to the kitchen in the middle of the night. I've had to do that - either because I forgot my water or ran out and was still thirsty - and it's not fun.
Our house is really dry, in winter especially. And I exercise in the evenings sometimes and am still rehydrating from that.
