Got me there!

Man I’m programmed to just ctrl+r and type cmd lol

Yeah certain movements feel “tight” and a bit uncomfortable to do. Figured it’d be a bit longer until i felt normal again.

I did this in November over a weekend blowing leaves and stepped off an elevated piece of my driveway (due to tree roots). Heard a snap crackle pop and couldn’t walk on it. That Monday i went to urgent care and they x-rayed me, saw a potential fracture and put me in a boot. Went to a podiatrist a few days later and said i tore some ligaments, no fracture thankfully. A month on the boot with icing, then another month using a support wrap since i just wear slip ons (unless especially wintery out) with anti-inflammatory meds and I’m now free, though still feel not exactly 100% but seems to be getting better.

What about the family sharing and all that jazz? Add kiddos account under yours and you can set age/time limits and stuff like that.

Ah at the moment its connected to a 144hz portabble monitor via usbc.

Just picked up the Onn box and did all that. Also installed RetroArch and so far the SNES era stuff all plays good with my bluetooth controller though there is a slight input lag or i just need to adjust lol.

I got mine as a display model when Office Depot/Max were killing off stores that were too close together and I had had no issues in the at least 7 years I’ve had it. Its a black and white printer and have used CVS or where for printing pictures the off chance I need to. I also have only bought toner a time or two over the years. Dual sided scanning and printing? For my occasional use its perfect.

And my AXE!

Not wanting to go to bed early.

I did recently grab one of those ONN android tv boxes and started tinkering (we have 2 Roku TVs and a ooold LCD with a Roku box for the kiddos). I was able to get a new launcher on it, debloat it, and then put SmartTube on it which does omit adds and also has sponserblock on it. Not sure how much space it has but i also installed RetroArch (I think) and see how it does with some 90s gaming. I at least connected my 8bitdo controller to it via bluetooth and was navigating around. Pretty happy with it for $19 so far.

Big on Plex here ^_

Prime only because it’s included. Otherwise my VPN and the high seas. Might consider youtube premium for the family account to get rid of ads but trying to see if I can get Pihole or something working.

On ios I use Transactions:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/transactions-simple-checkbook/id1341151468

Super simple checkbook/expense app but it doesn’t have a reporting feature. No ads. Does do backups in JSON though.

Right and for newer vehicles there is a couple of 2020 Bolts and a 2022 Bolt EUV for low $20k or under in my area. If I travel a little bit away from my area I have found 2017 Bolts for $15k.

As mentioned they’re not great for road tripping because of their slow L3 charge speeds, but perfect for me to use for my commute or local-ish running. It or a EUV will probably be my replacement for my ‘08 Rabbit whenever it goes, but I only put on about 3k miles a year on my car soooo it might be a while. I also need to see if i can put a family of 5 in one (reverse car seat, booster, and older kiddo in the back). I think they’ll do it.

Not to mention that there might be one or two healthcare “systems” in your area. If you live rurally, good luck with that.

Mine’s the 390t with 256mb of storage. So it’s one of the ones that’s triangle in shape with a real smal lcd screen and takes a single AA battery. Suuuuper simple to just plug in with mini USB and drag and drop mp3s over.

I’ve got an old iRiver mp3 player thats still ticking (as soon as you pop a AA in it. Would play enough music for me and can plug it in via mini USB I believe.

My MiL was just asking me about the places i hung out as a teen (40yo here) because in HER day they had teen social clubs and all. I looked at her as if she had a third eye lol. I think it was the local mall, or CCG/TTRPG shop for me in my town. In the area I’m at now they’ve practically banned teens from the mall after a certain time. I have no idea where my kiddos will be able to go when they’re older. Hopefully my red state doesn’t obliterate libraries at least, though I’m in a blue spot.

I’ll usually find that burgers/steaks etc at restaurants are what usually bother me more than if i go and buy/season/cook myself. Not sure if it’s just over seasoned meat, or the type/quality. Even then, I usually prefer chicken or turkey-based (lower fat) alternatives or mixes (like a turkey ground chuck).

I haven’t really gotten into plant-based alternatives, though I’m not opposed to it…as long as it tastes good! Lol

With glorious applause at that. Cue Padme!
