  • We usually put on something like a kids movie or a sitcom. I avoid action shows or anything with loud noises or explosions.

    Someone already mentioned it, but Bluey seems to work. We also put on shows like the Golden Girls or Family Matters, because it is good wholesome family entertainment, and she’s family.











  • For people in a rush they are real food that is hot and ready. Grab it at the store, get a side dish, slice it up, and it’ll feed a family for a meal or more.

    I think they’ve caught on because many couples have full time jobs, and want to eat something that isn’t total garbage. They also don’t feel like cooking or the mess.

    There may be something to a general malaise driving these chicken behaviors, but we defunded the people that could study that.

    I was annoyed by this the other day. Just swapped motherboards in a server machine in my house and I had to find a mouse to quickly navigate the bios.

    I could have done it with the keyboard, sure, but I weighed the amount of time to fumble vs the time to dig through a drawer.

    Pihole is great, little hardware projects are fun (touchscreen calendar in the kitchen). They also make great emulators for old systems if you want to install a gaming oriented OS like retropie or lakka and get a gamepad or two.

    I personally wouldn’t use it for a server, but it’s a good learning environment to figure out how to run services.

    The beauty of the pi is it is an SD card swap away from doing a different job. You can buy a few fast cheap 16-32gb SD cards and play around with different options and operating systems.

    Or you can do what I do: get it all set up, shut it down, and forget it exists until you have some wild idea.
