Most answers here are missing the benefits of a home Mac running 24/7 if you’re already part of the Apple ecosystem. For example, you can have it sync all your iCloud data (documents, photos, iTunes content) and back them up locally, then elsewhere outside of Apple’s ecosystem. You can also have it act as a local CDN for OS updates, whereby it will cache OS downloads locally so any subsequent updates will be super quick.

On the downside, I found native Docker on macOS kinda sucked, and just installed Ubuntu on my 2012 Mac Mini (now running Proxmox for funsies), but I have an old iMac to do the caching. You could probably virtualize and get both benefits, and I am considering moving to a new M4 mini for the power savings and sheer speed. That M4 Pro chip has absolutely incredible Geekbench numbers while sipping power.

If I use your math of 99.999% dying, only ~80,000 people will survive, not millions…

It’s down 10% which is the literal definition of decimated!

Trump and Vance, as of today, are just private citizens.

JD Vance is a sitting US senator.

I mean, strictly speaking probably plankton, but I’m picking up what you’re putting down!

Thank you for introducing me to Wilhoit’s Law:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Correct. Apple does not allow the download of 4K purchases to your computer (do any vendors?). You can download a (edit: 4K) video to watch on the plane direct to your Apple device, but not to your computer for offline viewing or archive purposes. This is why I got back into Blu-rays.

I MUCH prefer them to be caramelized. It just takes me like an hour or two

Have you ever tried the trick where you add baking soda to accelerate the Maillard reaction? Just a small pinch for a couple of onions, and you’re done in 15min or so. Too much and not as tasty.
