  • Yeah I'm generally not a cat person but that's a pretty rad cat.

  • Yeah I'm in the process of switching my OTP stuff to keepassxc. Better hurry that up.

  • How in the fuck does this not say "two men one truck". Opportunity missed.

    • Why would one crave pleasure, food and entertainment when they should be productive and how does one go about stopping it?

    Jump

  • Yeah I do this to break my inertia.

    "I'm not actually going to do any work, just clear my desk, then 5 minutes youtube"

    "I'm not actually going to do any work, I'm just going to get my books / laptop out, then do whatever thing for 5 minutes"

    ... and so on ...

  • You need practice at concentrating on your work.

    In the same way you'd work out to build muscle strength, your mind needs regular training to stay in shape.

    Start with sensible, achievable goals and improve over time.

  • How long did you take the meds for? How long ago did you stop?

    • Battery management question

  • I don't have that option. Android 13 on Samsung galaxy.

    Maybe it means something like "allow this app to be terminated by power manager"

  • Hmm, maybe... but I'm certain that everyone commenting in this thread does have a back account.

  • I've been a volunteer treasurer for several medium sized non-profits.

    You should have a think about what sort of charity resonates with you. Like education support, homelessness, legal support, drug rehabilitation, et cetera.

    Then call a few in your area and tell them you're considering a bequest, and would like to understand some more about their organisation and how the money is used. 1

  • In places with "hard" water (lots of calcium) you tend to get a calcium plaque in the pan after several years. It will absorb any iron in the water and turn brown.

    It's pretty much a rock growing on the porcelain. A brush won't move it.

    • Yes

  • Folded is the wrong word. Not load bearing signs be better.

    Jump

  • Yeah it's the common sense stuff we all know to be true. "Save and invest your money! Compound interest magic! Investments increase in value!"

    IIRC he makes a case for ripping off his employees. Justification is that if he have them more money they would just waste it, but he will invest it.

  • So, ah, that's not how that works.

    If he "goes bust" and can't make repayments the bank will take his cars and silver and gold.

    This guy is a great author, and those four words "rich dad, poor dad" are masterfully crafted. The book basically says borrow money to buy houses not boats. It's not revolutionary, it's just packaged in a way which is appealing to... poor dads.

    • What's something you'd like to leave behind in the old year and not carry into the new year?

    Jump

  • God I feel you so hard my guy.

    I'm only a few years older than you and have ischaemic cv disease (blocked arteries). It's a common problem in people twice my age. I thought I ate well and exercised regularly but it turns out that stuff doesn't help that much if you lost the genetic lottery like me.

    I had a heart attack this year, while my partner was pregnant with our first children. Yes 2x kids. They were born a few months ago.

    IDK if I have 2 years or 20 years to do my best for them... but fuck it's a bitter pill.

    I absolutely get the dread / fear / anger.

    Every time I have a new blood test that shows I'm more fucked than I hoped it just... hurts.

    I think it's coming with me though.

  • Given that the law was passed two weeks after they were married I think it has already been drafted and the whole subject was probably one of much debate. Also note three neighbouring states passed laws at the same time.

    It seems likely that someone said "find a story about under-age marriage for our front page", and these two hapless yokels (or should I say Johns the hapless yokel) were the only ones stupid enough to have their photos taken.

    In summary, I think society was working up to passing a law like this, and these two had a bride that was younger than most and got married at the right time.

    That said, the author has definitely tried to imply that this sort of marriage was commonplace in the 30s, when it was probably at most "unusual".

    • Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times

  • Yeah I don't like auto upgrades. Everyone says it's fine but that's not my experience.

    My stuff isn't public facing so I'm not worried about 0-days

  • I think you mistake how companies work.

    When there's many millions of dollars on the line and you're an easily replaceable deck hand the SOP is to do whatever the fuck the special consultant tells you to do.
