Put them in a huge bowl of cold water to stretch the effectiveness. I did exactly this during an unbearable summer and it worked well. As to the comment about heating a room, you’re providing cool air on yourself. Worked well enough for me.

I was telling someone about a book I had ordered. He commented that I buy lots of books. I explained that I purchase them aspirationally. If I read even a third of them, I’m doing well. Books are awesome.
And stopthatgirl and probably someone else I’m forgetting. Thanks to all aggregators. We appreciate you.
Proxmox is available free. You pay for support and maybe other things with a license, but you can download it and give it a spin at no cost. I just switched to Proxmox around 1m ago when I restarted my homelab project after years on hiatus. I used to use Esxi before Broadcom bought VMware and decided to suck. I like it so far.
It might be overkill for your needs. I’m running it because I want to play with setting up and managing Win Server (I only have experience managing existing servers on Win), so there’s a distinct reason for me to be on Proxmox even though I’m a Mac and Linux person. I agree that it might be overkill for your i5 if you only plan to run one Ubuntu instance on it. However, a lot of homelabbing is about having an environment to try out and learn new skills. If that’s something that’s interesting to you, it might be worthwhile.
Keep in mind that you could also run KVM for virtualization if you find reason for VMs. You’re not limited to Proxmox. And if you see no need for VMs, you already have three devices to do the things you bought them to do.
Try following some of the advice in this thread. Hardware tests if the BIOS supports it. Maybe try underclocking or undervolting the CPU is BIOS supports that. If you can pull a RAM chip and test with just one, then test the chips individually in each slot, that’d be something worth trying. I’m shooting from the hip, but these are things that could help isolate a possible hardware issue.
I went something like six months without my glasses because I still had an old thin frame. It turned out they’d landed on the base of a black standing lamp. I couldn’t see them from six feet away (my rough height). It was when I bent down to plug something in that I found them. I’d probably lost them getting up to go to the bathroom after falling asleep on the couch cause they just “disappeared” one day. They were in plain sight (if I’d had them on) all along.
Yeah, I have Simplenote on my devices so that my plain text notes are always synced. Movies and TV shows we intend to watch, stuff to get at the store, unlock codes for lockers in the mail room of our building, stuff to discuss with my therapist, records I wanna find and buy, etc. I was at a show last night (Santigold and she kicked ass) and was jotting reminders for myself between songs. Having an instant notes repository is awesome.
I just fucking complained about this yesterday.
I hate it despite realizing what a good life I have because I was born here with a lucky set of circumstances (cis white male). But I love parts of it, like the Bay Area and Oakland and all the surrounding hiking spots. If we didn’t share it with lunatics I’d feel a lot better about it from a policy perspective.
Why does this feel like it’s a flat-earth slide? I haven’t looked at any flat-earth propaganda, but I strongly suspect that it looks a lot like this.
That said, I’ll stick with my VMs regardless. I like simplicity.
Lightning strikes and both candidates die in a horrible freak accident. Oh wait, you asked worst case…
Shut up and help me find an automated teller machine machine so I can buy a ticket to the game.
Was reading Wikipedia about a string of serial murders last night. One of the victims was an 81 yo man on the way home from his work. This was in 1973. It’s not a new problem, it’s just worse than before.
When the character that’s “driving” keeps moving the wheel back and forth just a tiny bit at a time.
When two characters look at something off-camera in the distance and stare at different points in space (why didn’t the directory catch that?!).
Everyone is faking it to some degree.
Most valuable lesson I was ever forced to learn.
Ha, you just made me look it up in my inbox. Here’s the ad copy:
Hello Listeners!
This is not an ad. Grumpy Old Geeks are selling ads at a discount, so I bought this slot. I have no product or service to sell.
I hate ads. Don't you hate ads? I just saved you from having to hear or skip an ad! You're welcome!
If you aren't running an ad-blocker in your browser… what's wrong with you?! If you aren't subscribed to GoG to avoid ads via the private feed… that's your call. But I'll never hear this because my stream is ad-free. I never thought I'd pay for marketing, but this seemed like a fun idea. Also, check out the fediverse.
Deliveroo, Fuckers!
Love,
Your pal, another listener.
It ran for $125. It appeared in the episode after 2023-06-27, based on my email correspondence with one of the hosts. So whichever one was next after that.
I once saw a cop car moving at the same speed as a shadow cast by a cloud. It looked like the cop was bringing darkness. The metaphor would hit me much harder now; this was in maybe 2000.
That’s how I started smoking again after 7y. Just one or two while drinking with friends. I’d bought a pack within 24h or something stupid like that.
Lucy Harris smart smart smart.
