  • The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared.

  • Disregarding "the American dream" what's some stuff about America that still makes you proud?

    Jump

  • I agree, the majority of Americans are decent, not racist or various forms of genophobic, and resisting as best they can. The government and media has merged into a monster. ii looks huge and scary; that's by design. If you give up hope, they have won.

  • How do you get through the winter?

    Jump

  • That's the problem, it doesn't snow enough now... I used to be able to XC on trails in my hometown, now the snow is too thin and patchy. The ice is too thn on the lakes to be trustworthy. We get an extra 3 months of stick season, almost no snow season.

  • How does one go about touching more turtles? We have plenty of snapping turtles in the area but I think trying to touch them would be risky.

    What's your work schedule like during the holidays?

    Jump

  • The company I work for has few fixed holidays, but lots of discretionary time off, and very little direct customer service, so it's an individual choice. Many people take the week between Christmas and New Years off. I don't; I'd rather have extra time off when the weather is warmer and I can play outside.

  • If investing in the S&P 500 is such a surefire way to make money, then why isn't everyone doing it?

    Jump

  • If anyone says anything is "a surefire way to make money", they are looking for a Greater Fool on which to unload their position so they can actually make the money.

  • Please help resolve a disagreement in our home

    Jump

  • We have 3 of them: misc kitchen utensils and tools, misc containers, and misc stuff that does not even belong in the kitchen, but ends up there because that's the only drawers in the house that don't have clothes in them.

    If you want to organize it some, you can build or buy dividers and split it up.

  • Where to you keep your half-clean clothing?

    Jump

  • Hooks on the back of the bedroom door.

    What fraction of holiday gifts do you ignore, regift, or discard?

  • What was your first word today?

    Jump

  • "Good", as in " Good morning!", also directed at the cat, who had been sleeping on top of me.

    I wake up each day with a beautiful female who loves me. The that she's a cat does have some effect on the relationship.

    Do you think United Health Care is going to have trouble finding a replacement CEO?

  • What's the last post you started typing an answer to, thought about the replies you'd get and noped out of?

    Jump

  • Funny that, I did exactly that with that post... I probably run about 50% overall on these.

    Sometimes I look at what I'm about to post and decide that nobody really needs to see that.

    Sometimes I look at the other comments and decide I don't want to interact with the whole thing.

  • What's the quickest way to learn Spanish?

    Jump

  • Immersion does work, but here's a more enjoyable version:

    Take 4 years in school, don't learn enough to talk to anyone.

    Marry a Latino/a.

    Go visit their original country with them.

    Feel like an idiot.

    Practice with your spouse.

    Go back and feel less like an idiot.

    This has the advantage of getting a hot spouse, and slightly less likely to be killed before you learn enough.

  • Self hosting email, what's the latest and greatest what FOSS can offer?

    Jump

  • Has anyone here used Mox? It looks interesting, but maybe a little immature.

  • Self hosting email, what's the latest and greatest what FOSS can offer?

    Jump

  • I have been using modoboa, my installation is fine as far as it goes, but coming up a little short technologically these days, and the upgrade path is total replace. If you have or install Docker on your server, there are poste.io and docker-mailsever,which both look good. Running your mailserver in a container or VM is almost essential, for security, and so you can blow it away and start over if you make a mistake.

    Running an email server is not necessarily hard, but it is stressful: if you have other users, even family, they will take it for granted when it works, and complain loudly when it does not. Like any server that others use. But, beyond security, I have a certain stubborn geek machismo about it, it's a level of sysadmin above basic.

  • Help - my friend has 18g of very expensive coffee and asked me to brew it

    Jump

  • The Aeropress should be fine. The Hario grinder is not good, but produces an OK grind, it just takes forever. Since you want to taste the unique coffee, go middle of the range on recipe: water temperature, 200F/93C, your choice of 9g for a half cup seems spot on. Personally, I'd do pour over instead, but since you have one shot, go with the technique you are most familiar with.

    I'd be really interested to know if the stuff is any good.

  • Are there good uses for the blockchain?

    Jump

  • It's a good way to pay for illicit drugs, weapons, anything really, that you ordered using TOR, or your favorite unattributable communications technique. If you believe there are laws that should not be, that's good. If you are in favor of those laws, not so much.

  • What is a good low budget espresso machine? (Or what are signs to look for in a cheap espresso machine that indicate quality?)

    Jump

  • Similar experience with the Bambino, although I think that with any expresso machine, you are going to toss out a few cups until you get good.
