This, so much.

What my parents grew up with - always cold and hungry. Not starving, just hungry. And I can go to the store and get almost anything - like fruits my parents never saw/knew of before they were adults.

My grandparents waited something like 2 years to get a fridge - that's the wait list at the time. Even when I was a kid stuff wasn't always immediately available, and they'd sell you the floor model for full price if you were lucky, otherwise you waited a week to a month for an appliance that I can buy by the dozen today.

I grew up being told "you have no idea how easy you have it" (not in a mean way, just my parents explaining how different things were just a few decades ago), and they were right. Now I'm surprised almost every day at the difference since even 1970, let alone early 20th century and farther back.

The world is getting worse?

Yea, methinks you need some history. Go watch Edwardian Farm on BBC or Amazon. We have it so much easier than our forbears did.

Are there problems? Of course? Humans gonna human, and in that way things haven't changed since, well, forever. "We only get 80 years on the planet" (to quote a Brian Setzer tune), so we all get a limited time to learn to be better people.

But there are a lot of people who continually strive to make their local circle better - which is really about all of us can actually do - work on our own little corner, and hopefully have influence on others nearby.

Perfect expression of "hey, dumbass, stop taking photos and do your damn job to get me out of this thing"

Hahaha, awesome.

We'll always see a "wealth" angle, just depends on what people perceive as valuable and difficult to obtain.

Specific in that anything that uses that type of connector, which is a million different, specific, things

you need very deep pockets to trouser this

This alone got my upvote. Lol.

Who thought that deploy method made any sense whatsoever? My $10 knives from home depot are easier to open one-handed, haha.

You say that like it's a bad thing 😁

Top Secret is so under appreciated

Fine, dammit, take your upvote, DAD

It's probably just as loud, or even louder 😆

Wow, install Tailscale or Wireguard and you've got a killer remote support solution.

Weird people would downvote this. I usually don't care (still don't, lol) but someone downvoted the idea of installing a mesh VPN on this KVM, yet it's already been done.

And some cars just suck.

I had one that would be perfectly aligned when I left the shop, and an hour later would be off. Crappy American car, subframe bushings had enough give to cause this, there was no fixing it.
