things i've learned so i don't get screwed buying tires
Every time I have to get new tires, I hate it because there are a thousand different ways to get screwed buying these things. I've been buying tires for close to 30 years, both for cars and trucks I've owned. In that time, I've come up with a few ways to get screwed less.
I do love one-liners that I can do on the command line in Linux, and this one has to do with TAR archives.
TAR, on its own, doesn't encrypt anything. This being true, a separate utility has to be used to encrypt it. The easiest one is GPG.
I learned this one the hard way, but fortunately I didn't wreck my coffee maker.
One would think that using distilled water would be better than tap for brewing coffee, right? That's what I thought. I was wrong.
One time in my life I had an arcade machine in the house. It was a video arcade game, Mortal Kombat 3. I think I had it for a year or maybe slightly longer, then sold it. I've no regrets about that whatsoever.
Once or twice a year I'll go play some arcade machines. I enjoy the games, but I am VERY glad I don't have to maintain these things.
Navigation is wrong, and often. This is how to make it right, and also make it very easy to store locations for retrieval later.
