I imagine everything else became more expensive too, labor, shipping, processing, etc

This is all I want. I’ll settle for an iPhone when apple fully complies with EU regulations. Once they officially allow third party app stores I’ll be interested, and at that point I wouldn’t know the difference between the two

Why would they choose a us citizen. That’s already a difficult place to start cause there’d be more surveillance on him vs another person from a different country or a full Chinese citizen.

It’s honestly sad that these people would rather hold on to the little power they have than retire and spend the little time they have left with family.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but coal powered plants have caused more cancer than any of those events on their own and when operated safely to modern standards they have a very low to no risk of release whereas coal plants release pollutants by design. Nuclear waste is in a solid state so it’s far easier to dispose of underground vs coal which immediately gets put into the atmosphere

This sounds like a slam dunk separation of church and state case. I’ve seen a lot of bs from the LDS since moving to Utah, from liquor licenses to psychiatric care, etc. I do not trust them to responsibly hand out welfare to those that need it. If they were giving out these funds directly to the state with no strings attached, fine, but it appears that they don’t and they are in control of how the aid is given, and maybe even who receives it which is hugely problematic even if they help non-mormons.

Anyone defending this as “fiscally responsible” are idiots that have no idea how this church works or how our country was meant to work.

It’s wise to have a small toaster oven if you absolutely need to cook something. They preheat fast and obviously put off less heat than a full oven. I don’t really bother with the oven much these days as it’s getting over 110 here at the moment. Also cook after the sun sets

It blows my mind how homes in the desert hardly use swamp coolers. It’s just a sign to me how unprepared people are. If the grid becomes unstable, this place almost immediately becomes uninhabitable due to how inefficient ac is. Homes are hardly built with efficiency in mind. I see homes painted black, with floor to ceiling windows, set on top of sand stone cliffs. Nobody out here seems to realize how dangerous this all is or that they’re living in a desert.

Ffs if it were me id dig into the ground and paint my walls white, and only put windows on the north/south sides, use geothermal cooling/a swamp cooler, etc.

I’m pretty sure it’s password encrypted, so in theory yeah it should be secure if your master password is, but if someone gets access to it I think they could try to brute force your vault open.

It’s not that hard to maintain tbh, it’s actually simpler than a lot of other self hosted options because it just works on every device with no weird setup with syncthing. It’s made my life so much simpler and I like being able to quickly share logins with my fiance.

You can self host bitwarden using vaultwarden on docker + pi with SQLite. You just need to make sure you backup your vault to a remote service from time to time, but you can encrypt that
