Not surprised, my basement is 58-64F (~14-18C) year round, no matter how hot or cold it is outside.

It’s cheaper if you don’t have constant load as you are only paying for resources you are actively using. Once you have constant load, you are paying a premium for flexibility you don’t need.

For example, I did a cost estimate of porting one of our high volume, high compute services to an event-driven, serverless architecture and it would be literally millions of dollars a month vs $10,000s a month rolling our own solution with EC2 or ECS instances.

Of course, self hosting in our own data center is even cheaper, where we can buy and run new hardware that we can run for years for a fraction of the cost of even the most cost-effective cloud solutions, as long as you have the people to maintain it.

They are both considered populists but with radically different policies targeting different “enemies of the people.” It just so happens that one side thinks the enemy is anyone who is not a white straight Christian male.

Some people don’t actually care what the policies are, they just want someone to blame and follow whoever they think is fighting for them. It’s nuts but large number of American’s don’t do any basic political research and vote by gut feeling.

A large segment of the US population is still extremely anti-Muslim and think they are all terrorists, especially those at the center and center-right. I’ve met numerous supposed “centrist democrats” that think we should turn every Muslim country to glass.

You can checkout Nuphy. They have a number of relatively affordable options that support QMK/VIA and they have put a good amount of thought on reducing noise. The Air60 V2 may fit your needs though it is a low profile keyboard.

The Halo65 is also another option if you want high profile. It is not currently QMK/VIA compatible though but the V2 should be when that ends up getting released.

I have, and use Calibre with LL instead and it still requires a lot of hand holding and manual grooming to get a clean library.

My big issue with Readarr is that it had a hard time fetching data for various popular and/or prolific authors. So if I wanted to fetch all the books for a particular author, there was a high likelihood it wouldn’t actually fetch the necessary book data to do so.

I prefer LazyLibrarian over Readarr but it still leaves a lot to be desired for end-user usability. One of the big issues with ebooks is that data is a mess, with each book having a billion different editions with spotty metadata support that makes it hard to tell what is what.

Goodreads seems like it was a decent source of data for these types of projects but they shut off new API access a couple years ago and legacy access can go away at any moment. Hardcover seems like a promising API alternative but not sure if anyone has started integrating with them yet. Manga and comics seem to be in a better state, with a more rabid fanbase maintaining data but still nowhere near what’s available for movies and tv.

There was most likely a closet or other crawl space storage area there. My house has closets like that but luckily full height entries to them so we can actually step in. I’ve seen other houses with 1/2 or 1/3 height doors leading to under-roof crawl spaces for storage.

I had a family member go through 3 doctors and many months of unbearable pain in their leg, all saying it was a simple sports injury that’ll go away on its own, before someone realized they had a pool noodle sized tumor in their leg. I blame this incompetence for their death.

As someone who had a dog and a family member go through chemo at basically the same time, the dosages are much lower compared to humans for those very reasons. While nausea can still be an issue, they really don’t experience much of the other discomforts that people undergo. I’ll always be thankful for the extra couple years of quality life it gave him.

As our oncologist said, people are able to tell us how they feel so they tend to get far higher dosages and back off if it becomes too much or take other measures as necessary.

The attempted robbery of the Hyde Museum

Two guys, one of whom pretending to be a Vanderbilt, attempted to rob a museum but were foiled by getting stuck in holiday traffic in their stolen delivery van.

One of the guys was a suspect in the Isabella Stewart Gardner robbery about a decade later.

Yup, that’s what I said, either entire sum or pay someone to post bond on his behalf.
