Monty Python And The Holy Grail

Oh, and if you want to use it as the backing store for a database consider obstore instead of s3fs: https://developmentseed.org/blog/2025-08-01-obstore/

I’d use an s3 bucket with s3fs. Since you want to host it yourself, Minio is the open-source tool to use instead of s3.

Thanks, id been thinking about getting one for my next laptop. Now I’ll rethink that. The issues you describe do seem.particularly annoying.

The first time I got progressives and went hiking in West Virginia all was fine until we decided to descend the steep rocky trail. It was a horrible experience. One stumble and I’d probably need to be airlifted out. I had to go really slow. Everyone else thought I was being a baby and left me in their dust, so I was alone on the hillside unable to see my feet. It took me a full extra hour to make it back to base. I swore off that style of glasses. 10 years later I got a fancy car with a computer screen dashboard. If I wore my driving glasses, I couldn’t see the computer. If I wore my reading glasses the road signs were blurry, so I’m trying these progressives again. They sometimes make me dizzy. At first I only wore them while driving, but I’ve slowly gotten used to them. I can’t use them for [computer] work because I’d have to perpetually tilt my head up, but I often wear them for more than just driving now. If I’m going hiking I still use my old driving glasses. So I lug around 3 pairs of glasses…

It has a name: “you pee”. They just leave ir off of most maps because it is considered nsfw.

Just try stuff and see where it takes you. Talk to lots of people from different walks of life too.

Get really sick. Cancer will often do it. A broken thyroid. There are a number of GI disorders too.

It appears to have worked. I guess that’s why they think it will work for mass shootings of school children to.

Also go outside to grab my paper to read the comics first.

Fire up my PC and hit the dial up to check my email and BBS’s.

The Phoenician Scheme was fairly original.

Exactly.

Even better. You can hold your fruit in the third hand while rubbing the bag with your other two.

I put the bag between my palms and rub back and forth a bunch of times. It works as long as you have both hands free (and you have two hands).

Depending on the state there may be different formal definitions based on population and incorporation status. In Ohio, we have townships, villages, and cities. In Pennsylvania they have “boroughs” instead of villages. In NY a borough is a subdivision of a city. I don’t think they have the township organizational structure in Vermont. In Maine there are unincorporated territories (usually just numbered).

The role of the county government can vary significantly from state to state too.

Most towns are not urban by any standard. I ate dinner over the weekend in a town with a population of 669. It was big enough to have its own restaurant and post office. It was a 30-40 minute drive from any town with a population over 10,000 (and that, just barely).

I was in a computer store a few years ago watching a young guy trying to sell a tablet to an older woman. He said “the good news about this is that it can’t get viruses because it runs apps”.
