We went all EV last year, and it's been great to not care about the price of gas at the pump.

The real problem though, is all the other things you buy like clothes and groceries, etc. are impacted by the price of gas and oil used to create it and ship it around. You may not notice the price directly in fueling you car, but eventually, you will be paying dearly because of those high gas prices.

Not going to go through the whole story, but this was NOT the guitar I was looking for. It was instead the guitar that found me.

The pictures just don't do it justice, but the finish on the rosewood has this amazing 3D effect, and the tone is best described as 'magical'.

When I first picked it up and strummed it in the store I could feel it in my whole body, and my wife's comment from several feet away was, "It vibrated my soul."

Martin 00-28 Standard

Then I got fired, but now at least I'll have more time to learn to play it in the way it deserves to be played. ๐Ÿ˜…

AMD GPU just works, no fussing about, get straight to fragging on Xonotic and Counter Strike

Unless you have a monitor that requires HDMI 2.1 to get full resolution/refresh. Then it only works partially.

Don't get me wrong, I love Linux, and I've been using it on my desktops/laptops for almost 30 years at this point.

But there are still issues to deal with on a regular basis, same as Windows or OSX.

 

We got lucky and the clouds parted just in time in my corner of Texas.

Was expecting an area for "Poh-tay-toes". Left disappointed.
