Years ago my neighborhood was wired for fiber, well all except for 24 of our houses because it wasn't profitable, copper still came on our side though... Now that's been turned off so the 24 of us have the option of cable or wireless.

Having to stare at a coil of fiber across the street on the end of the pole (not even buried fiber, its on the damn poles) while I enjoy overpaying for 48Mbps... so fast it must be high speed (seriously debated a wireless link to the house across the street but I'm a stickler for the rules).

I know you mentioned Nextcloud and if you happen to already be running it you can use the add-on/module/whatever called Secrets, its exactly what you describe. You make note, send link (can password protect if you want) and once its been viewed its gone.

If you don't already have Nextcloud, check out vaultwarden's (bitwarden) send feature.

If one breaks and you can't get to a dentist, clove oil is your friend, it numbs and kills bacteria (it was used for dentistry for a long time). You can make it if you really need to, but it's pretty cheap at almost any drug store (it can kill the nerves though so be careful with it).

At least I did get recognized for 15 years of service, they just misspelled my name, so I think I may be changing my name to "Levin".

I think being able to summon a 60 ton object falling from orbit could do a bit more than kill just one person. Definitely an interesting use though!

Great work and keep at it, shooting can be a really fun way to relax and clear your head!

Some unsolicited advice though (if you want it). If you have a rod for cleaning your barrel, an old trick from basic was to get into a prone position with the rifle unloaded and insert the rod into the end of the barrel. Practice balancing a small coin on the rod while you aim and dry fire. Focus on pulling the trigger with the pad of your finger and pulling solidly enough to fire, but controlled enough to not shift the end of your barrel. It really helps with your left-right spread.

I'm not a Bing fan either because it used to be regurgitated Google results. For now I'm just self-hosting an instance of SearXNG.

Copilot is pretty good for Azure stuff though, really I just like it because it always has links back to Microsoft's documentation (even though it's constantly changing).

I used to use it... I thought it would take you straight to the first result (but it's been a long time since I used it)... Now all the top results are hot garbage.

I'd still take one for most stuff. 70MPH is the maximum speed permitted on the majority of the US interstate system, most US highways were limited to 55 until relatively recently (at least in along the East coast).

Cherry Rootbeer tastes a lot like Dr Pepper to me... When we would run out at the store I worked at out of high school I'd just get Barq's and add a bit of cherry flavor from our defunct Icee ripoff machine.

Do you signal before you observe what may or may not be where you are wanting to go? Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I don't signal until I've observed where I'm going and determined if it can be done safely. People driving for miles with their turn signal on make me worried (you can never tell if they are planning to go now, later, after their invited, or if they just forgot it was on).

I'm just trying to see my kid through college and then I'm ready for something simpler. Goatops.com (well a copy/paste from before the site existed) made me chuckle and planted the seed, now I'm in the actual consideration stage of it.
