The toilet paper goes over the top.

This.

I'm like, 44 or something. Have experienced the same. Not like, three years ago, but not when I was your age either ... somewhere in between. Looking back on it, it points to a very (now) clear gap I had in my life and relationships at the time, that the character, if real, and, if interested in me (or perhaps more accurately, were I the other party in the film), would have filled, perfectly. There is a reason they resonate so deeply with you. Identifying it can take a bit of the edge off - but actually finding it in real life (in a healthy way, in a healthy relationship, etc., etc.) is an even better solution.

The absolute best solution is, upon identifying it, figuring out how to provide it for yourself, so you're not demanding or expecting others to provide it for you - but that's like, super bonus points, hidden secret level shit that most people don't achieve their entire lives.

Logic, the entire universe, and a million studies: "Working from home makes people happier, healthier, and more productive!"

I mostly agree, and did the same with my second gen lab build - instead of shiny new NUCs like I had used round 1, I bought old off lease Dell Xeon boxes. SO MANY PROS -

• Got them up to 14c/28t each
• They can take GPUs and actually do heavy transcoding/ML work
• They can take up to like, 128GB of memory, which is GREAT when they're all hypervisors

The downsides can't be denied though -

• Even without the GPUs and beefed up CPUs, they are power hogs - the CPU alone uses more than an ENTIRE NUC
• They run HOT
• They run LOUD

The same holds true for off-lease SFF stuff, Lenovo and the likes ...

So while reuse/repurpose is absolutely of the utmost importance, no question - when it comes to technology and how quickly it advances and miniaturizes, a thorough and logical pros/cons list is often required.

I'd add another option though - if you do need what a Pi brings to the table - do you really need a shiny new Pi 5? Is it possible a used Pi 3 or Pi 4 would do the trick, and check the reuse box?

Plot twist: She won't be raped like if it had happened the other way around.

Proton, but I've been questioning that of late :-/

• UN should consider suspending Israel over attacks on UN peace keepers
• UN should consider suspending Israel over declaration of UNRWA as a terrorist group
• UN should consider suspending Israel over attacks on aid workers
• UN should consider suspending Israel over...

the list keeps growing, but 'nothing' is all that keeps happening.

I learned about 16 years ago on a Solaris course that /usr wasn't "user", I still say "user", but I'm happy to see the information spreading that that isn't what it actually is.

I just switched to MagicEarth since it works with Android Auto. Pretty happy with it so far.
