Thanks!

It does feel great to be able to provide something like this for my family and to know that i control the data. For the thinkpad, I'll look into the options when I have a bit more time. For now I took the battery out. Thanks for the tip!

If you are creative enough anything can be dangerous, friend.

Thanks!

Oh, I'm fine with it. I gave up on the big name theaters a while back. I just wanted to make sure my kids weren't doing anything there than management was against. I'm actually glad they have a place to hangout with their friends.

At least where I live, it has turned in a teen hangout. My 14 and 15 year old meet their friends at the movies at least once a week and for them its like a social center. Not how I want to enjoy a movie experience because they treat it like a big shared living room. I actually asked the manager about it and she said they support it because the teens are coming every week and its growing their revenue.

The big exception is our local Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. They still have rules and ushers to enforce them. That's where I go when I want to see a movie with my wife and/or friends. Nice quiet traditional viewing experience.

Windows is what I already but I'm also curious to learn linux and bsd at some point.

Is your next post going to be in a baking comm asking people if they have considered just buying a loaf at the grocery? Its an important life lesson to get early that its OK that other people have different tastes and priorities than you do.

That's so cool! Have you ever tried a BSD?

I love that movie lol its a family fave!

So true! I met a friend of a friend at a church social last week and he spent the whole time trying to convince me to try FreeBSD instead of selfhosting on Windows. I might try it someday but as polite as he was about it he just couldn't get the hint lol

Nice to hear it!
