I’ve never experienced this or heard of this. Has it been like this your whole life or recently started? Either way you’ll want to see a doctor, especially if it only recently began.

Spot on for me in the Midwest. My range and AC are electric, heating is a boiler. So it’s super cheap in Winter and rough in Summer.

One of my favorite videogame soundtracks of all time.

I have a cleaning lady who comes every-other week, which takes care of most upkeep. I also have a roomba that runs daily. Otherwise:

Walk the dog twice a day.
Do dishes / clean the kitchen every night.
Laundry, once a week while working from home.
Empty the litter box robot once a week.
Take out trash as needed.
I also meal prep every Sunday.

I used to be a very messy person, but this system has worked well for me.

Honestly it might be worthwhile to just get a month of Microsoft 365 and use the web client. You can upload all of the files to OneDrive and open them in the web version of Word to do what you need. Nothing beats native compatibility in a project of this scope.

Namecheap domains include a dynamic DNS application for free and it works well. Be aware that it only runs on Windows.

What do you mean?

Alternatively, use Blahaj and you won’t be able to see downvotes or downvote anyone else. It really helps with expressing yourself truthfully without the fear or peer pressure of chasing votes.

Personally there’s two key factors I look for: mesh seating and a back that reclines independently of the seat.

For the former, I get overheated on leather or cloth. Being suspended on mesh helps regulate temperature during an 8 hour workday.

For the latter, I once had an office chair that the seat tilted when the back was reclined. It dug into my under-knees and made my feet go numb.

I picked up a mesh chair at Office Max 10+ years ago and have been using it for 8+ hours a day since then. Zero issues or back pain.

I think that’s it!

Format your document? Format your expectations. Fuck you, that will be $35/mo. -Microsoft, probably

365 admin here. Use whatever distro you want and just use the web versions of Office apps. They’ve been greatly improved and are nearly identical to their desktop counterparts. Especially if you’re leaning heavily into OneDrive/Sharepoint.

You should get a license. Even though you don’t need to work now, every adult needs a reliable way to get where they need to go. And if there’s unreliable public transportation near you, you need to have a backup plan.

I don’t think anyone can answer this question unless you at least provide basic info on your location - are you a city dweller who easily relies on walking / public transportation? Or are others driving you around places?

“The goat man will get you.”

Used as a warning when doing something careless that would invite predators. My great-grandma came to the US from the Czech Republic and told the story of a man who raised goats and would steal children and break into homes at night. It was a reminder to lock your doors and valuables, and to never walk alone in shady neighborhoods.

I wish I could remember how to say it in Czech. It began with “Kuzubah”.

I work in IT. My favorite part is focusing on a difficult problem that no one else can solve, and fixing it. My nickname at work is “the tank” because they can point me at any issue and I’ll fix it. I’ll also toss in the paycheck. I had a recruiter tell me 2 years ago that my skill set isn’t even worth $65k and now I’m making more than double that.

My least favorite part is the occasional late nights. Worked a 20 hour shift the other day for a particularly difficult major issue. This happens maybe twice a year. I’m at an age where it takes a toll.

Ebay tends to get the best price, but shipping is a pain. If you want to sell things quickly and easily, Facebook Marketplace is your best bet. If you just want to get rid of things without throwing them away then Buy Nothing on Facebook is best.

You get used to it. Sorting by New and challenging yourself to kick off conversations helps.

For Windows I like 0irc. It’s extremely lightweight and portable. For a browser alternative, KiwilIRC works in a pinch.

Hmm. Maybe I should just toss Ubuntu onto it and use a Bluetooth mouse instead of a controller.
