Soft Kill

I wouldn’t say they are underrated, just niche.

Atari 800 basic.

Gentoo was the first distro I used for any significant amount of time (college).

I’m taking some welding classes later this year. Being able to fix or create things with a welder seems like a useful skill to have.

I suspect the intro classes are all the same regardless if you take welding into the art direction or the mechanical direction.

Just as i remembered.

“Per our discussion, you do not want to hear anything more about updating from a windows 7 machine that is no longer being updated, no longer receiving security fixes, and is end of support, to my recommended windows 10/11 machine. You’re aware that I have advised you that not updating is possibly a HIPPA violation.

This email confirms that I will no longer bring the subject up again.”

That’s it. CYA and print that Sent item out. Move on to the next issue.

Time to buy more bread flour I guess.

AWD adds weight, cost, and traction regardless of the engine layout.

$$$.

Front engine, rear drive is easy to build. Good driving characteristics until you lose traction in the rear, which isn’t hard because there’s not much weight back there. You get over steer which isn’t the easiest to deal with.

Front engine, front drive is cheap to build. Good driving characteristics until you start pushing the limits, then you get under steer which is easy to deal with by letting off the gas.

Rear engine, rear wheel drive. Same cost advantages of Front/front but has some quirky driving characteristics.

Rear engine, front drive: nope.

AWD: better driving characteristics, more cost and more weight.

Mid engine, rwd: similar to rear/rear, but costs more, better handling.

Recycle it.

While it’s not technically safer, MS does make it a lot easier to set policy’s where you check a box for MSAuth.

Since the config is less complex and easier, it’s demonstratably safer to implement it this way.

Half-life.
