@matigo also Teslas (and other electric cars) are a gigantic environmental disaster, primarily because of the batteries. Hybrids are a bit better.
@matigo I'm all about using older hardware when I can.
Related: I ended up sitting next to a guy on the plane who is a sustainability consultant. He's been involved with many "environmentally friendly" buildings, including one for the high school I went to. He basically confirmed what I thought in general about the topic (almost always better to retrofit or reuse versus replace, for most everything).
While our Finance people would have rejected my purchase of a monitor for my home office, I was able to convince our IT folks to send me an older monitor from the office. Either way, I finally have a reasonable-sized screen to work from.
@matigo entirely possible. That said a lot of the food I ate was not exactly healthy. The booze probably didn’t help either.
Either my scale was giving me bogus weight before or I put on almost 10 pounds in Wisconsin. ?
So, yeah, it’s been a long few weeks. Very ready to be home. Thankfully O’Hare doesn’t have shitshow weather and I have a direct flight back to Seattle.
