Oh, I thought about checking it out, maybe wishlisting it... Turns out it was already wishlisted!

Aurora is fantastic. I tried just to see how much work it would be to use an immutable os, and ended up using it on my main computer, for both work and gaming. installed and never looked back.

it just awkwardly ended with me remembering I said the wrong word for almost two decades, now.

Well, that pretty much sums up my life.

Trust me, if you really don't know, it's best to keep not knowing. The worst of the bunch, no doubt.

Yeap, that's exactly why! So not only is universal healthcare good for everyone in the sense that they have access to it, but also avoids astronomical (and artificial, deliberate) price hikes!

We have a weird hybrid system. While the universal care is not known for its efficiency, and sometimes sick people will have to wait for hours to see a doctor, I am sure it beats having to mortgage your house because of a broken arm.

Besides universal care, people can decide to pay private hospitals and doctors directly. It's expensive. Few people can afford it (but interestingly, still much, much cheaper than in the US). And then, all of this combined generates affordable and actually good health insurance plans. You get a mix of getting guaranteed care, with a typical insurance monthly fee, which also most companies provide for their employees. Of course there are many tiers of insurance plans, but the most basic and affordable ones are typically very good. It's rare for insurance companies to deny procedures, something that is completely different than in the US. (It happens, though, depending on the procedure).

Either way, you never have to worry about what it'll cost you. No life changing charges, no astronomical bills.

My cat decided to live at a neighbor's 3 doors down. One day I thought "I'll invite her to the barbecue party". Six years later, we're married and have a 2 year old boy (and five more cats).

The service is ok, but if you (rightfully) do not want to be tied to Cloudflare, take a look at Tailscale Funnels. Same concept, but from a company that values the user and their privacy. Also, for regular personal/small user base, free tier is more than enough. And you get a free .ts.net subdomain to use with your apps, if you need that.

As a man who used to have long hair for decades, this is just wrong. But also, usually using more than one shampoo + one conditioner is not going to make much difference.

Baby Shark. Because... it kinda looks like a shark? (Blue Mitsubishi Outlander Sport/ASX, depends on the country)

A laser, maybe, but definitely not LEDs. Vapor/gas lamps produce the narrowest frequency bands possible, because it comes from very well defined atomic transitions (Hz range). LEDs produce frequency bands with widths in the GHz/THz range, while semiconductor lasers can maybe reach KHz if they are really good. So, unfortunately, for this type of applications, vapor lamps would probably still be needed.

Edit: very good idea about using non-visible light!
