Also forced to use windows for work. That wasn't the windows terminal program being slow, that was git bash.

How long ago did you try it? I gave the first iteration of wsl a chance and had the same experience, it was super slow especially for things like ls. Its a lot better since wsl2. Probably 90% or more the performance of bare metal install of linux

A semester of programming is more than you need. The hardest part would be installing the OS on the raspberry pi. https://pi-hole.net/

At least 50% of NY's population lives within 50 miles of NYC and I wouldn't be surprised to find out its closer to 65% or 70%. Of course it gets the most attention. I get why people living outside that area would be upset but they cant be surprised.

You see the same thing in every state with a large metro area. There's always griping from western and central MA but the fact is 75% of the population lives in the Boston metro area.

I wish you'd shared this anecdote sooner. Think of all the money that could have been saved on water treatment if people had only known that one time you drank from a semi questionable water source and didn't get sick.

When I see people say stuff like "rc cola is almost indistinguishable from coke" it blows my mind. Do you actually mean you can't taste the difference? Or that you don't think the difference is worth the extra money?

I hear this a lot since we converted to heat pumps. People don't realize basically every heat source these days other than wood needs electricity. We kept our oil system as a backup for very cold days but it also doesn't work with no power.

Its like how red cars get more speeding tickets.

While that's definitely what happened often the legal definition of "rape" in a state explicitly requires penetration with a penis. So a lot of things that a normal person would consider rape are classed as sexual assault and have to be reported as such in the media. You can see this in the recent E. Jean Carroll suit against trump. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/07/donald-trump-rape-language-e-jean-carroll
