piedpiper A nice cast iron pan. It can be a bit of a pain in the ass to clean and maintain compared to a teflon pan, but its so versatile and I like the fact that it will last forever.A nice cast iron pan.

piedpiper My library has a decent selection of blurays and video games as well. Fines can be a pain but I can easily renew online up to 3 times. I also get access to Hoopla and Kanopy for digital streaming....My library has a decent selection of blurays and video games as well. Fines can be a pain but I can easily renew online up to 3 times. I also get access to Hoopla and Kanopy for digital streaming. Personally I like visiting the library as it's just a nice way to get out of the house. I don't even read much, but they offer a lot other than books, including a makerspace with lots of cool tech. To each their own but I recommend everyone check out their local library, as you may be surprised what is available to you.

I find most light beer to be too watery, but definitely easy to drink - especially on a hot day.

Though, since weed became legal here I've been getting more into cannabis again and drinking less. I actually prefer weed, but can't handle high THC strains. Now that it's legal I can finally get lower THC high CBD strains and I can enjoy it without getting paranoid. -
Comment on The curious case of the Raspberry Pi in the network closet in ~comp
piedpiper A bit anticlimactic at the end. I feel like the story was really starting to get juicy and then... "Legal has taken over". Did I just miss it or does the author not even tell us what the device...A bit anticlimactic at the end. I feel like the story was really starting to get juicy and then... "Legal has taken over". Did I just miss it or does the author not even tell us what the device does? Cool post none the less.

piedpiper What does "browser chrome" mean? I've never heard that term before this article and comment section. Tried to search the answer but I just get results for google chrome. Very confusing.What does "browser chrome" mean? I've never heard that term before this article and comment section. Tried to search the answer but I just get results for google chrome.

Then I just got comfortable with it and ended up deleteing my windows partition.
I actually find it easier than windows in a lot of ways and so easy to troubleshoot because it is the most popular distro of Linux. Any problem I have there are tons of forums and blog posts with a fix. It's actually easier to troubleshoot then windows.
I've never bothered to try other Linux distrobutions cause Ubuntu just works and is easy to use. What else do you want?
