Our soil is almost entirely clay and rock to the point that most grasses also fail to grow. I wouldn’t mind something nice like mint or another invasive plant if it meant actually having something grow at all…

I use Proton VPN which has port forwarding

These secondary reaction comments are my favorite; this one got me laughing good

Yep iirc virt manager is just a gui front end for qemu though imo certainly makes it easier to manage the vm’s

Yep, initially tried to setup virtual box as I’m more familiar there but could not for the life of me get around install errors. After setting the OS to read-write installing virt manager was pretty straight forward; the only real hiccup I had was that I needed to install win-fsp on the guest os before installing guest additions like virtio-fs which allowed me to add the shared folder between host/guest. Edit: it also required enabling shared memory and updating some registry keys during windows install to ignore the windows 11 install requirements.

My son-in-law got a deck as a cheap gaming PC but also needed to be able to use Adobe software which we were struggling to get working in bottles / wine so we setup virt manager and added a windows VM with a shared folder between host and guest VM. Works great and he’s learning a lot about linux as his daily driver without losing access to the tools he needs for work.

Somehow my brain translated “cricut” as “cactus” and I was having the darnedest time finding it…

Nice board games too; love Clank :)

I like eggs! Also it’s quick and easy and filling and I’m half asleep anyways lol. I use lunch and supper for variety.

LOL

Correct. I have a minimal lunch and moderate supper with no snacks or desserts. Breakfast is my primary meal of the day.

Yum!

I’ve mixed in different stuff over the years though I usually don’t as I’m after a quick and filling breakfast to get me through the work day

lol yep, every day for breakfast; scrambled with some butter, sour cream, salt and pepper 😋

8 per day so 56 per week; please keep them cheap

I’m a certified forklift trainer and the training I needed for that was a single day that ended in a simple test…

Yep! I have a Cosori kettle that’s been working great (and outlasted my first two pots lol)

Steel tea pot - I drink a pot every day but last couple pots were both glass and only last a couple months before breaking (both my fault) so upgraded to steel and so far my clumsiness hasn’t yet managed to break it

I drink a pot of camomile every day. 1st cup is still hot while rest is more lukewarm.

The ones we tested were these: https://a.co/d/f4FADbm

Unfortunately the project they were originally for was cancelled fairly quickly so we didn’t test any others

We tested some nicer ones for use in an industrial environment where hearing protection was required. They were great and let workers hear clearly while still being able to use their preferred PPE.
