The website suggests it does. I just remember it served me well when I needed it.

I haven’t used this in many years so I can’t vouch for the current state, but I’ve used synergy to share the same mouse and keyboard across multiple computers. I think this should enable your 4 monitor dream - 2 externals and two laptops.

You’ll also likely run into a situation where a single laptop can’t drive 4 monitors - keep that in mind.

EDIT: I don’t know why you’re targeting 3 laptops in the future, but I would heavily suggest looking at framework laptops. They’re upgradeable, modular laptops where you can buy new motherboards to upgrade. Once you do upgrade, you can actually use the old Mobo as a desktop machine.

We were using Skype… Dark days.

I have not and I’ve now purchased the book - thanks for the recommendation!

I’ve only read Ted Chiang’s exhalation, but one of the stories was the biggest thinker I’ve seen, and another was an emotional gut punch (in a good way)

The ratio of lasting impact to content length of his short stories is insane. He has no business having such compelling works being readable in a lunch break.

Another vote for Pratchett! I’m an economics fan, and making money happened to be my introduction, but there are far more common onramps.

My personal suggestion for getting a feel of Pratchett’s writing these days is monstrous regiment - technically in the discworld series, but it’s very standalone, so you get the flavor of the writing with little of the need for additional context.

I use letterboxd for movies, Goodreads for books. Haven’t found one for tv shows.

Yup, base model, $30 or so sonicate gives that “fresh from the dentist” clean

I’m more worried about third party candidates pulling a macron. They typically have much less history to point to for consistency in policies, they have already received GOP aid, and Jill Stein…

How else do you get multi device sync?

My current solution is to use syncthing to handle syncing the files, but I have to debug a permissions error that pops up.

I think she had some art on the sides - you ever see those white vans/chucks/Nikes with stuff drawn on them? I forget what it was, but it looked nice and looked like a labor of love.

I’m sorry that you’ve had experiences that led you to this conclusion :( that’s a lot of bullshit that nobody should go through. You’re a person with your own very valid emotions that should be expressed, not an idea of someone’s “man” that they’ve built up in their heads. Fuck the ones that try to force you into their template.

I don’t have a very diverse dating experience. I’ve only had a handful of relationships but they were all with decent people, and I’m still friends with all of them - in fact one of them was my best ma’am at my wedding.

The good ones are out there - don’t settle for less and I wish you the best of luck in meeting them.

Fuck those people who expect you to have no emotions. Red relationship flag if I ever saw one - they didn’t think of you as a person, just an idea.

One of the most impactful things my wife said to me was “it’s okay to not be okay”.

Classic library meat cleaver!

You’re going to make me blush!

As a dude I still do throw out the compliment - I just make sure to say it as I leave so it’s clear there are no strings attached. “I really like what you did with your shoes - have a good one!”

As a guy I feel like I typically don’t get non-flirty compliments from gals, and I understand that it’s probably because there’s the worry of misunderstanding intent.

That said, one time a few years ago a gal mentioned she liked my boots as she walked past and I’m still riding that high, lol. If it helps make people happier I’m not going to shy away from complimenting them :)

Woman, not girl. I’m an adult and expect to be treated as such.

Interesting, cuz I’m interpreting that first sentence to mean how she’d like to be referred to, due to the second sentence referring to herself. Also note the singular “woman” and “girl”, not plural “women” and “girls”. Based on that it’s pretty clear she’s referring to an individual and not all womankind.

Am I missing something where she claims to speak for all womankind?

as long as you don’t have bad intentions it’s all good

Generally speaking, this is a problematic way of justifying your actions.

It’s all good if you have no bad intentions as long as you apologize when called out.

Good intentions do not give you a free pass, however they do help others understand where you’re coming from if you bring them up when apologizing.

“My bad, I didn’t know about that, growing up it was always okay to do XYZ”

“Sorry I made it more stressful for you, I thought I was helping”

hits very different from

“This is ridiculous, I had good intentions and you’re still upset 🙄”

In fact, if you say the latter you’re saying you have good intentions, but how good are those intentions if you refuse to help accommodate more?

Some understanding and clear communication will do a lot to smooth the axles of the world.
