It's one of the reasons I hate having one person cook and the other clean
the incentives are misaligned, and it just breeds bad habits and reckless cooking IMHO. If you do both cooking and cleaning, you'll hopefully learn to clean as you go.

Sounds like you've only ever used desktops and/or laptops...
For all the problems in the tech industry, having a large chunk of your compensation be in the form of RSUs does address this meme's complaint. Company does well = you get paid more.
Here's January of this year. San Francisco, so pretty moderate weather
typically don't run heat during the day, and low 60s at night (if at all) during the winter. Large temperature gradient throughout house, typically.
South facing windows gives kitchen and living room a greenhouse effect, particularly in the winter, hence the large daily temperature swings:
We're expecting a baby. Do people travel with a baby? Is it safe? Is it insane? I think we're just gonna have to stay put for 3 years or so.
If your baby isn't super fussy, the transportation difficulty (in our experience) is more in the logistics getting to/from airport, and dealing with other ground transportation. We just flew 5+hrs (coast to coast, US) with a 2mo and a ~3yo, and it was a piece of cake (typing that, I've jinxed the return flight...).
We haven't done international travel with our kids yet, but we will eventually. When I was 2 my family went to Europe
some countries were meh with respect to kids, but Italy (from my folks' retelling) was fantastic, as there is (or was) a big cultural love for young kids.
YMMV of course, but it's absolutely doable! Kids
even starting as babies
have personalities, and you'll get a sense of what's appropriate with yours. Good luck!
Good point
it is "incrementally free," although I guess if you count tire wear and tear that's not even true.
You're just gatekeeping.
ThinkPad with a generator? Nothing wrong with that
maybe add LoRa, get a ham license and add some packet radio or digital modes and you have a neat disaster setup.
MacBook that you don't want to scuff? Well, I'm not that precious with my gear, but you do you. Many Mac laptops last a very long time, and the performance of modern Apple silicon is really, really impressive
and you have UNIX out of the box. Plenty for a tech enthusiast to like.
Eating this spicy Klingon-Thai curry is an honorable battle; but the battle the next morning...that is a battle without honor.
A lot of non-graphical utilities
basically the *NIX coreutils, plus stuff like rsync, ssh, compression/archival tools (tar, gzip, bzip2, etc.), grep, and the like. Git also comes to mind.
I think part of this is that the UNIX philosophy is "developer friendly"
tell a good dev they need to make a compression utility that follows this protocol, and they will make a compression utility that follows the protocol.
Your local city college may or may not offer free classes (in San Francisco, you just need to show proof that you live in the city with some legal status).
Some public transportation is free for certain groups (youth and folks experiencing homelessness can get free passes here).
"First X of the month" at the zoo/a museum/whatever
lots of venues have free events.
A jog, bike ride, hike
lots of great stuff outside!
People often complain about San Francisco's public transit
and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!
They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet
same route, same fare.
This title makes it sound like he wouldn't be a good Klingon, either. Which...is definitely true.
I bet he thinks he'd make a good Ferengi. But that's insulting to the Ferengis...
