First off: I know now is a terrible time to house search with interest rates, home prices and rents through the roof. No arguments there.

My wife works remotely for a nonprofit out of DC. On a recent trip to work in office, she has expressed interest in moving closer to better support her team. We've just started exploring options within the Washington metropolitan area, that'd be a reasonable commute, preferable by public transit.

If you have knowledge of this area with suggestions for where we should consider, and/or any dos and dont's please let me know.

Thanks very much!

Hmm, interesting. I was pretty surprised to find three of these in a huge pile of pennies & thought others may not have ever seen these either.

They may be common but I’m pretty impressed with the quality. I prefer the colors of the right one but the detail on the left one is kinda crazy.

    On chapter 50/77 of DCC book #5, The Butcher’s Masquerade.

    Had a few months break from DCC to re-listen (3rd time) to Project Hail Mary before the movie came out and a few others. Back at it and loving it again.

    Using FF 150.0 on Nobara Linux, google maps gives me wildly outdated satellite imagery. Chromium/Chrome seems up to date. Is there a way to force google to display the latest and greatest?

    Example: Tyler Perry's insane mansion outside Atlanta.

    FF

    Chromium

    Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

     

    I have three networked Win10/11 PCs at our small family business that occasionally need to be accessed and maintained from my Fedora PC at home. I’ve used Google Remote Desktop for a while but it’s unreliable and also F Google.

    Was looking at the Gl-Inet Comet products which look promising as they say they work without cloud access, but they’re a tad spendy. If it’s the best option I’m willing to drop the coin.

    Are there better options?

    Thanks!

    Edit: Wow, thank you all for so much useful feedback and excellent recommendations! I have lots to dig in to.
