Central is a border town. Georgia and North Carolina both only a few miles away. And don’t tell me you’ve never had a pollo fundito
Here are some fun facts about South Carolina for those of you who have never been, unrelated to Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham is from a town called Central, which due to SC naming convention is in the northwest part of the state. Following the same convention there is also a town called North, South Carolina that is in the middle. Central also has a great Mexican restaurant called Pancho’s where you can go to celebrate any event you’d like
In many parts of SC it is considered rude or unlucky to toss or throw beer on Sundays. This is because it is illegal to sell alcohol on Sundays in many places so if you toss a beer to your buddy at the campsite, for example, and they drop it, you can’t buy more till tomorrow. Please remember this tradition if you are having any celebrations on Sundays and want to honor South Carolina traditions.
It’s customary in South Carolina to celebrate Bastille Day two days early. The reasons why are lost to history.
I probably fall more into the “weirdo” camp, although whether or not it’s interesting is up for debate. I have never been happy with the Intel Management Engine running closed source code so since the early 2010s or so I’ve either had x86 machines that ran libreboot or had the IME disabled. I have an ARM laptop now that works pretty well. Closed x86 firmware is not going away so I’m more hoping it becomes easier to run open source firmware on ARM, and I have been hoping for a pro-consumer company like framework or system76 to pick that mantle up
Oh very interesting, I had not heard of that. Thanks for the link
I’ll think about it when they have an ARM option
She only votes against Republican bills when her vote wouldn’t matter. Easy to miss
Just some small consumer grade APC that I got like ten years ago. It’s basically good enough to withstand quick blips but I have it set to send a shutdown command to the server when the batteries fall below 90% because they last about as long as it takes to cleanly power down the machine.
Debian, uptime right now on my server is 59 days and that’s just because that was when we had a power outage longer than the UPS could keep up with
That’s just the only place I’ve ever seen them, I thought it was unique but maybe not
