My mother died this year. It happens to everyone if you live long enough. It still sucked. She had MS since 18, died at 66. More than ten thousand days in the fire.
I am trying to come to terms with her disease and how I was not a great son. Could have, should have, would have. The three horseman of regret. I think most people have similar thoughts when a loved one passes, but it still hurts.
I have resolved to carry a picture of her to every mountain I hike up. Take her with me where she could not in her life. I wrote a letter of goodbyes to her and left it in mailbox peak. It still doesn't feel enough.
I hate the person I was while she was alive. I was there, but not the person I should have been. The benefit of hindsight.
I left reddit and do not contribute anymore. I do browse certain subreddits in my mobile browser, but don't login. Lemmy is better for conversation and I like supporting the underdog in the age of content is everything.
I opted for a bidet "wand" years ago. I found many bidets didn't fit well on the toilets I had, or didn't actually get me any cleaner than toilet paper would. The wand improves accuracy and cleanliness tenfold. Highly recommend if you want something that requires you to sit in a specific position to see the benefits of a bidet.
As someone who designs and builds networks as a profession, I don't see this being a great idea. Maybe I just don't have all the facts.
I am leaning heavily on the example of M$ trying an underwater datacenter, which they decommissioned and have not pursued further. Put a node of compute somewhere and eventually it will become obsolete or unusable due to hardware failure. Not to mention the energy requirements and cooling needed in space. Waste heat does not just dissipate unless it has a heat sink, which adds more volume and mass to the payload!
I have never bathed my cat. I always assumed he did it fine himself. He doesn't stink and rarely goes outside. Am I missing something?
