My bank gives me 0.02% on my savings account with them. My credit union gives me 3.94% on my checking account. I keep the minimum in the bank so I can use their other services, my CU only has ATMs near me.

When my dad died, no one renewed his domain, [last name].com, and some domain squatter bought it. A few years later the squatter noticed that I owned [last name].net and offered to sell it to me. I didn't respond and I guess they figured out that an obscure last name isn't worth anything and let it expire. I should probably buy it.

If you don't want to use DNS for whatever reason. Then Firefox/Mull with Ublock origin for the browser only

For what it's worth, just about every panel like this is certified to have a specific number of fasteners missing. A lot of the time there will be some other qualifiers such as not missing the leading fastener or not missing adjacent fasteners. Having a bunch in a row like this incident would probably not be ok, but I couldn't say without the maintenence manual.

Just wait until you encounter morse code abbreviations, some of which are still used in some industries. Like the wonderful X abbreviations, such as:

Wx - weather

Mx - maintainence

Tx/Rx - transmit/receive

Edit: I'm starting to think every industry totally did their own thing with morse abbreviations

Looks like an airforce trainer, probably had some sort of malfunction. Looks like it landed back at Shepard AFB. I wouldn't worry about it, minor emergencies happen fairly regularly.

If we get some big breakthrough that sends storage costs and bandwidth cost way down then I think it's possible. Otherwise between the astronomical costs involved and the difficulty attracting an audience and creators, I don't think it would happen unless Google axes YouTube for whatever reason.

I'd say through throw Truenas Scale or Ubuntu server on it and try and come up for uses for it. If it doesn't seem useful after a month or 2 then shut it down nothing lost. The only real danger is that it's a gateway drug and before you know it your thinking about upgrading to a 48u rack to put your pile of networking equipment and servers and your basement sounds like a jet engine.

A combination of Micro Center, FS.com, and eBay for computer parts. Anything worth researching I'll try and buy direct from the manufacturer.

Dumb cheap stuff still goes to Amazon because if I need a $2 female USB-B to male USB-C adaptor or something like that I'm not willing to go through more than about 5 mins of searching and I know there's some random blob of letters company on the Amazon marketplace that will give me something that functions. I definitely wait until I have something critical or reach $30+ before actually placing the order though.

Then Firefox decides that it's absolutely necessary that updates get applied this second and refuses to do anything until you restart it.

Consumers aren't forcing the companies to have their workers work long days for little pay. Companies wanting to take in all the extra money consumers are offering without actually paying anymore out are the problem here.
