It would be kind of hilarious if all of these were actually fully achievable in real life.
Magic is just close up street magic, if you select divine powers, someone offers you a job at the local cathedral. Radar sense, a box from amazon with some radar parts literally shows up on your doorstep.
From this chart, being attractive, smart, or rich are abilities, even gadgets is listed. Logically it doesn’t make sense, but following the rules laid out, those are probably up for grabs.
Also, who knows what they mean by magic, maybe you can go look up David Blaine.
Ask any expert in almost any field of science. If they’re good at their jobs, they’ll mostly tell you the same thing about their field.
The scariest thing in the world is that you can apply that to nearly everything.
The way the story goes… They didn’t explicitly fuck up, some dude just though two snakes looked cooler than one and we’ve just been running with it for a few decades now. There is a story about how it was originally adopted by military personnel who transported medical supplies (along with messages so… it would kinda made sense) but the justification there does feel super cherry picked. Mostly, the accepted reasoning is that the caduceus is just a better design.
If you saw what looked like a giant ninja mask wearing anthropomorphic turtle stuffed into a trench coat, are you going to say anything?
The disguise is just a courtesy to let the average human have plausible deniability.
It sounds like you’re getting into the keeping it running phase.
First, going back to your previous comment, self-hosting email is difficult. It’s not hard for a small provider to end up blacklisted and you’re probably kind of just done at that point and it will feel very unfair. I get that it’s a fun set of technical challenges, but you couldn’t pay me enough to help someone self-host email.
Second, guessing, but it sounds like you may be trying to expose your services directly and doing a lot to make that work which goes against what most would recommend for hosting your own services. Big companies don’t expose their intranet like that, follow their example. Almost every guide or system is going to warn against that. If you’re going to host more than one thing, highly recommend focusing on minimizing entry points and looking into a VPN-like solution for accessing most if not all of your services. Still spend time on securing your intranet, but most of your risk is going to come from how hard it is for people to get past the front door (or doors).
We already have that, the first problem is we have like a dozen of them, a few are even well supported. The second problem is that usually the technical knowledge required to set up the systems are still lower than the technical knowledge required to keep it running.
Man, it took me a while to figure out you were on about the dude’s username. I was real confused.
I really really want to be on your side, Taco bell has gone crazy on the prices and I hate it.
But, on the other hand, it sounds like you haven’t even had the crispy cantina taco meal and that’s not a life I’d wish on anybody.
Is that a nationwide thing? It feels weird over here, but yeah, it seems like a lot of the midrange/sit down restaurant small chains just never changed their prices.
Vivaldi is pretty alright.
I definitely support that we’ve pushed this show out of the forefront, but this is where a lot of the arguments for the flag as a ‘symbol of southern pride’ come from. It’s a weird argument, and it is definitely not a fair one, but there’s very fond associations in the south with that car even from people who had no clue where the flag came from. Super successful attempt to help the confederate flag be seen as acceptable, whether on purpose or not.
It’s a weird show too for someone who isn’t from the south… Racial diversity is non-existent in the show, but that’s also pretty accurate for its location… It had some awesome car scenes, but no depth. The only hot take in the show beyond the flag painted on top (which wasn’t even a hot take then) was that the government was widely seen as corrupt and it was more than a bit sexist.
A lot is kind of an understatement:
“In 2022, 81% of Mozilla’s revenues were derived from Google”

With that level of support, I don’t think an ultimatum would be required.
It’s not that you’ll never be happy, it’s that you’ll never be done. Some days that sucks and some days that’s the best part.
Push through it, giving up hurts more.
