San Francisco has a bunch of mixed stuff.

Is the alternative that we all rent/buy (?) apartments?

No

duplexes/triplexes/etc. exist. And single-family housing does exist in mixed zoning areas. An SFH next to a duplex next to an apartment building is common in my city. However, in this case, the "back yard" is probably enough for a small garden and a bbq, but not a large lawn...which is fine, because there are parks in walking distance.

Ideally, I'd like to not really have neighbors at all after my lifetime of experiences.

Then city and suburbs aren't really for you, and it sounds like something very rural would suit you, and those around you, better.

I've used a twist in the strap and that seems to help a lot.

You can also take a fairly selfish view and come to the same conclusion. Like, I don't want to see homeless encampments, or really sick and untreated people, or panhandlers, or (...) while I'm walking around in my city. I can solve this problem by 1) moving to a nice suburb, or 2) having my tax dollars go to fix a problem that affects me. 1) is off the table because I want to live in the city, and 2)

while it helps the greater good

also helps me directly. (2 can also be addressed in a draconian fashion, which is not what I'm advocating at all.)

I think one problem is looking at things as zero sum. It's not. If you are healthy and housed and fed then you're not

to be very crass

an eyesore, you're adding to the fabric of the city. I want street musicians who are playing for fun, not because they're trying to make enough to afford dinner.

Handy back-of-the-envelope is that a year is about pi*10^7 seconds.

Also...hate to be the guy to mention leap years but...

Shoot fish with lasers. No need to compensate for refraction, problem solved.

I think an issue here is that taxonomic and colloquial definitions don't always agree.

Spiders are colloquially bugs, but they're not taxonomically "true bugs" (which is itself a colloquialism for Hemiptera). Tomatos are colloquially vegetables but taxonomically fruits...but afaik vegetable is a purely colloquial term anyway.

And as someone else in the thread mentioned, colloquial berries are not always taxonomic berries.

So...colloquially, "plants" sorta means, "macroscopic multicellular living non-animal thing," but taxonomically it's something else.

No, I don't see any handcuffs...

...it's a myocardial infraction.

Wouldn't be surprised if he thinks the bad guys won the American Civil War, too...

The Picosecond Pulse Labs bias tees hold a special place in my heart.

If you have a TV, you likely already have the receiving device. Antenna can cost, or you can play around with wire length and orientation.

It's mostly so that I can have SSL handled by nginx (and not per-service), and also for ease of hosting multiple services accessible via subdomains. So every service is its own subdomain.

Additionally, my internal network (as in, my physical LAN) does not have any port forwarding enabled

everything is over WireGuard to my VPS.
