okay but when do chores happen? i can barely keep up on dishes and laundry with a 45 minute commute each way. sleep, too...
patchwork
that's fair. it's also easier for me to repair and modify my synth if i'm the one building it, which, chipocalypse-scale disruptions aside, makes the whole thing a little more future proof. and if this is the only synth i get, then i'd need to be able to repair it.
my rule for my own rack is that i have to solder at least part of every single module (and now that i'm set up for surface mount work, i'll be able to build even more :3:3:3), and i'd think this would be the same
not sure about apt, but with apt-get the default behavior for upgrade is to hold back packages with new dependencies that are not currently installed. in that case, running sudo apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs
should get those packages upgraded as well, assuming that dependency conflicts aren't a factor, too
that makes sense, and i can understand that analogy. i really should be less timid about reporting. i think i was more responding to the second panel of the meme — it's not a matter of disgust or weak dislike — usually i'm either actively turned off by what i'm downvoting, or i'm experiencing some kind of reminder of trauma. not that it matters on here in my case; downvotes are disabled on my instance.
i didn't realize the commute was implicitly a part of the 8 hours in your scenario. that makes a little more sense.
