Lol, Hilarious and justified but I get quite compliant around people who could stand between me and a SCUBA/ bachelor party trip.

Not exactly. I’m kind of a “learn what I need to to get by” person. I’m not really a Linux person… but my old laptop took 15 minutes to boot up, and the hardware obsoleted out of windows updates, so now I have Linux.

I ran out of space in Google Photos. I would’ve happily bought more space but they told me I’d have free backup space forever if I compressed my photos. When they changed that policy I realized I was being jerked around. So then I got a raspberry pi, and learned how to (barely) set up a server to run Immich.

I liked browsing reddit, but, again, I don’t like being jerked around, so here I am.

I learned this about United this summer. Except the language they used didn’t specifically rule out roller bags, it called them “full-sized carryon”. I showed up with a checked bag and a small carryon. The desk agent told me wheels make it a “full-sized” regardless of the dimensions. Fortunately, I was able to stuff a bunch of stuff a bunch of my crap into my checked SCUBA bag, and repack my regs and underwear into the backpack I was bringing anyways.

Note: This was on an International flight so I REALLY didn’t appreciate feeling like I was flying on a budget airline.
