I’m from the Boston area, lived in rural NH as well as in Lawrence:

If you move to Wyoming, you will regret it. It’s got the coldest weather in the country outside northern Alaska with killer wind chill worse than Minnesota. Yeah, 2 hours away from doctors sucks, but now imagine that in the winter, driving conditions being the same thing as 495 after a snowstorm but constant. In retirement, for me, I don’t think it’s wise to fight against weather… I get that the city and hot weather isn’t for everyone, but if you’re looking for temperate weather that won’t kill you, look into Eureka, CA or Coos Bay, OR; those places are basically Boston springtime but all year round. They’re also small communities and absolutely not rat races like Boston can be.

A single party like Mexico’s PRI party isn’t the answer either…

Albertsons?

Does Wipr work on YouTube? Vinegar hasn’t been updated so it’s been broken for months.

The electric ones?

The car market is due for an IBM level shakeup in the west. It’s unbelievable to me that Tesla is the sole manufacturer that creates cars with as good infotainment as a standalone tablet from Apple/Google. Not a single other carmaker other than Volvo can be considered objectively better than Tesla. It’s fucking insane that Chinese phone manufacturers slaughter everything on the market in terms of fluidity and ecosystem. I’m pretty sure Chinese cars even support Android auto when Google itself is heavily restricted in China. Even if you’re supporting China by buying one, it’s worth it to kick western manufacturers in the teeth so that they’ll be forced to compete.

My Ford F150 Lightning takes two whole seconds to register a volume change with an animation onscreen. It’s fucking unacceptable that this is being protected in the west.

Raised by immigrant grandparents here, parents were born here. They don’t care. My parents have zero concept of what immigrant challenges my grandparents faced.

Them removing slide over really kills me… I’ve been wanting slide over on macOS for years now…

Portal 1 & 2. Far too short.

I genuinely can’t believe it’s been so long

Call your insurance company and ask for a list of physical therapist providers in your area. Make an appointment at the same time you’re asking your general practitioner for a referral to speed up the process if they’ll let you book the appointment without the referral. Follow all the instructions of the physical therapist to a T no matter how stupid it may seem.

They are though 😉

I’m from north Boston (the hood). Manhattan, especially Central Park and lower, is the safest I’ve ever felt in a major city. Nearby Brooklyn and Queens were the same. No one visits Staten Island. BX and Harlem aren’t for everyone.

The best way to describe the Mac upcharges for memory is “just save more and deal with it”. The company is ruthless, we all know it.

At the very least, this current generation of Macs are top of their class in performance, even beating out some desktop configurations (it’s not like it was 6-10 years ago). Remember, windows laptops under 1000$ are far less performant and efficient than the MacBook Air.

At the very least, macOS has zero ads. I’ve never once been nagged about iCloud/Apple intelligence/upgrading my machine. It’s well worth it in my opinion to have a machine that has kept this implicit promise to me for almost 2 decades now.

I was in Paris just after the Olympics ended and I don’t think I smelled any tobacco at all. Marseille? Cigarettes everywhere. I couldn’t even enjoy eating at the cafés.

Xpadneo is baked into Ubuntu 25 now? I noticed it was in Fedora 42.
