I have Ubuntu running with a sound bar and monitor that only pulls 40 watts. My processor is one of those vanilla box mini computers…GMKTech. I’m able to run it off a 1 kwh solar power station and it lasts a laughably long time. How much more efficiency do you need? I have fans that use more power than my desktop.

Tennis has kind of a snotty reputation besides being slow and boring. Surprises me that it’s still fairly popular. Ended up in Palm Springs the night before a big tennis tournament and almost had to drive on to LA. Everything was booked. Pickleball is crowding tennis but not getting rid of it. Ironically, if I make it through the US Open Pickleball lottery, I would have to play Ivan Lendl…the tennis player.

I’ve been through so many reddit handles. Some are banned in /r/politics, some in other subs. There’s no reason to it.

Meanwhile, US car makers are cranking out $100,000 giant pickups that no one wants and few can afford.
