What are mobile options here? I'm not really seeing anything better on Android- Waterfox?

It really makes me sad, jeeps used to be awesome till Chrysler started getting bought out, around 2000. It was like when the AMC 4.0 and the Chrysler 318 went, so went Jeep.

Yes, they are inefficient, and slow, that's not the point, you could offroad in a ZJ with 250k miles on it and be ok.

I'm thinking it's more likely he just got it wrong :D

I've checked, its true. Linux plus Firefox already puts you in the 2 percent category.

This breaks all kinds of stuff though. A ton of sites use Google for captchas.

Port Authority is a good one too, I think. Need to check that it is still maintained.

Sahara is one I watched some few times as a kid, it is a wartime propaganda movie and it really shows but it's still pretty watchable.

The African Queen is really good as well, and Hepburn instead of Bacall.

And really everyone in a corporate job should watch The Caine Mutiny, then read the book too.

Look at those forearms. Absolutely she knows how much work this is. Also absolutely she numbered them all in pencil.

You're describing the world wide web, except giving others write access

OK 80 GB is for sure an edge case. Nextcloud won't even work for that due to PHP memory limits, I think.

Interesting problem. FTP is an option, with careful instructions to an untutored user. Maybe rsync over a VPN connection if it is always the same sender.

Not even sure what else would reliably work, except Tannenbaum's Adage.

Just trying to rake some of thst Google cash

 

Just find your store, then search for whatever you can't find. Tells you what they have and what aisle it's on. IT'S AWESOME

 

It's pretty good even raw. Pils and golden malts,honey, some bitter and some sweet orange peel, cascade hops and coriander.

Just trying to get rid of these trash bottles ;D

And there are pretty active groups in Austin. It is pretty trivial to get a GMRS license for UHF walkie talkies and use of the GMRS repeaters around town, and not too hard to get the basic Technician license to get the real goods and talk far far away.

North/south roads are surprisingly icy while east/west roads are less so. Still showing a little. Definitely don't drive for a few hours if you don't have to although 35 seems OK. Saw some black ice too.

 

This beer was fermenting normally for about 16 hours then foamed heavily. I guess its infected but I don't know how, usual strict precautions were taken. Outgassing like crazy.

 

The Celtic Festival was Nov 2-3. It is still low key and a lot of fun although I liked it better at Fiesta Gardens. Ticketing was a little bit of a pain with the silly SI app.

Good bands, Irish dancing, the games, lots of good food. Beer was crazy crazy expensive, something like $20 a pint at the pour it yourself trailers. This was sad as I remember just taking a 20 and having 3 or four glasses out of that not counting tips. The whiskey tasting was fairly engaging.

Excellent bands, the venue is nice, and all in all my main conplaint is the beer price. Because that was insane.

 

Verdict: not great, not terrible. VIP probably not really worth it.

Had VIP for James/Marr. The rear VIP area is nice, but far form the stage and people line the rail so hard to see.

The stage VIP area is just about useless. If you aren't at the rail on the left side, you can't see a thing and even then the speaker blocks a good part of the stage.

A good spot on the floor not behind a tree or way back to the right or behind the sound booth or behind a tree has a great view, and the sound is probably way better.

Sound was mid. Couldn't hear the guitarist from James talking, and it was a bit muddy at times.

Inside looked just as I remembered it. Good for small shows.

 

Of all the things I did not expect, this is on up there. But it is pretty awesome.

 

Wonder how much worse it can get?
