It’s pretty good, but as time goes on there’s less and less.
Ah yes, love me some chicken legs on my chilli. It goes really well with the strange deformed orange I keep next to my football. And once I’m done eating, I like to take a walk with my non-matching boots.
In general I never cared much about scary movies, but there is ONE SCENE (in an otherwise crappy movie) that left a strong impression on me.
In the movie “Signs”, there’s a moment when the news are showing footage from an alien sighting in Brazil. Usually, whenever a US movie tries to depict another country or culture, it ends up being so poorly done it’s almost like a caricature. But not this one…
The scene is from a birthday party, and every little detail is so authentic that, as a Brazilian, it’s immediately obvious that it was actually recorded in Brazil, at someone’s actual house.
It’s shaky footage from a camcorder (remember those?). There’s the party decorations, the kids’ hats, the car outside, the voices (which are intelligible Brazilian Portuguese, not gibberish). Everything felt so real and familiar, I could swear I have been in that exact party at some point in my life. And then the alien shows up and HOLY SHIT did that scare me!

What size of stone, though?
Skill issue, non-ironically.
No, a Gemini would say “My apologies, you are absolutely correct!”
Not really sure they do anything “better”, it’s mainly for convenience. It’s an all-in-one solution with a nice UI and sane defaults. That helps me have a somewhat consistent setup across all my hosted services. If you’re happy with managing Nginx directly, then you probably have no reason to use these.
I migrated from vanilla Nginx Proxy Manager to NPMplus (because of CrowdSec), and it defaults to short-lived certificates. Other than temporarily making my Uptime Kuma SSL monitors completely freak out because my certificates “were too close to expiration”, everything still works exactly the same.
Spend long hours under the scorching sun with no protection. The irreversible damage caused by UV light will make your skin look significantly older. Bonus points for not using sunglasses, so your vision can deteriorate faster too.
I don’t think I need to say this, but just in case: do not actually do that.
Also, I too used to think “I can’t grow a beard” due to thin and not very dense facial hair, but if you say “screw it” and do it anyway, it eventually works out (unless your reason is different). It’ll look like absolute shit for a while, but once the slower growing areas catch up, it’s not that bad.

Oh yeah?
“Go Speed Racer Go”, the only salvageable part from the live action Speed Racer movie.
Laptop: cheaper and easier, but keeping the battery charged constantly will degrade it (no matter how many battery protection features it has), and upgradability is somewhat limited.
Mini PC + UPS: more upfront cost, some elbow grease required to integrate power monitoring (but it’s not difficult), but more flexibility to expand, and the UPS can provide power to other devices like an access point. Also, the UPS battery uses a different chemistry and is made for that specific purpose, meaning it’ll take longer to degrade.
