Yeah, that's pretty standard. One of the barracks at my last command had been condemned and cordoned off, pending demolition. A few weeks later, a unit was returning from deployment and they realized they didn't have a place to put them so that barracks was magically usable again.

It's almost a guarantee to have black mold, roaches, and water issues.

I have a FLIRC remote with the receiver and use it for both my TV and HTPC.

It's awesome once set up, but the app is honestly dogshit. They put in all these smooth menu transitions and whatnot, making it painfully difficult to configure the remote.

So, once OS updates are unavailable, the machine might become a weak link from security standpoint or stop running some software.

That's why I specified:

Double check before buying that it can be wiped and you can put Linux on it.

Yep, that's what I started with. I had a 2014 Toshiba Chromebook with 16 GB storage and 2 GB memory.

It was my lil ssh/vnc machine for the longest time until the battery stopped working. I replaced it with a proper Thinkpad recently.

An old Chromebook sounds perfect.

Looks like most of those are 11.6". Double check before buying that it can be wiped and you can put Linux on it.

I've seen some people discuss the lore a bit based on the trailer put out. It might be worth at least reading up on it

He's quoting the kid in the video.

Considering that human diet can modify the metabolic rate and the release of different odor-related volatile metabolites (Havlicek & Lenochova, 2006; Ajibola et al., 2013; Baranska et al., 2013; Zuniga et al., 2017), it is not surprising that some foods and alcoholic beverages can have an impact on the release of kairomones. However, as shown in this section, the literature on these aspects is quite scarce and further studies on the effects of diet on susceptibility to mosquitoes are needed.

Reading the sections prior to that, it seems metabolic rate and some other factors matter more in the attraction of mosquitos - mostly odors and other stuff influenced by genetics.

I don't believe this. My daughter and I get bit as soon as we step outside. My wife and son don't even put on bug spray.
