I often leave Steam running in the background. Indeed, KDE seems to be suspending more reliably after I exit Steam. Thanks for the suggestion!

Looks like that script is for Gnome (based on the StackOverflow post listed on the project page, it talks to org.gnome.SessionManager via dbus). I wonder if there is a similar way to talk to PowerDevil?

The article already has one example: “Juneau, Alaska, voted to remove fluoride from its drinking water in 2007. A study published in the journal BMC Oral Health in 2018 compared the dental records of children and adolescents who received dental care for decaying teeth four years before and five years after the city stopped adding fluoride to the water. Cavity-related procedures and treatment costs were significantly higher in the latter group, the study found.”

My city has a tool library program that sounds exactly like this (I haven’t tried it yet, not sure how well it works in practice). Would be especially nice for one-off sorts of tools you don’t expect to use often.

The downside is you’d need to line up your project with their hours, and hope no one else is using it when you need it. But if you have the flexibility to plan ahead, could be a nifty resource.

I think it’s from the boot camp scenes in the movie Full Metal Jacket.

I always read “f/u w/PCP” as “fucked up on PCP” instead of “follow up with primary care provider”.

A nurse at work had “CA$H MONEY” tattooed inside her lip. Sounded like the result of a drunken dare/bet.
