My mom accidentally mixed two cleaners once and developed chemical pneumonia for a month. I was too young to realize how close she was to not making it…

I had the guide open on my laptop for so long but ADHD’d and never got it done lol

Just don’t confuse them for ones you use to cook lol

This is just what HP told us.

My mom bought a cheap HP printer/scanner several years ago and subscribed to their “instant ink” subscription which was actually surprisingly cheap (like $3/mo) but once the printer stopped reliably connecting to the internet and nobody could print wirelessly anymore with it, she canceled the subscription and HP DISABLED ALL OF THE INK CARTRIDGES. The cartridges themselves have wifi connections so HP can automatically send you new ink when they get low. What a scam.

Currently Unraid, haven’t tried anything else lol

God I hope he did lol

I had a “gf” in Runescape when I was 12. She was like 30, and married or had a boyfriend.

Shit was wild back then. I’m also gay so this didn’t make much sense for me anyways 😂

I’ve seen a few studies on this, I’d have to dig up some sources but socio/psychopaths do tend to seek power… So CEO rates of socio/psychopathy are significantly higher.

Strange, I’ll do some more testing. My S23 Ultra is not that old.

Thank you for the recommendations! Material Files seems to work well, I’ve been struggling to find a file manager that doesn’t reset the date modified metadata when transferring photos to the SMB shares on my NAS. Several folders of hundreds of photos now have completely incorrect dates attached to them because of a file manager I used previously :(

So far from my testing Material Files does not do this!

Edit: it’s extremely slow though lol, that’s weird. 250 small photos took several seconds each.

I like the interface, but I miss the ability to show/lock hidden albums/folders with fingerprint.

Damn it. I use their Gallery since it allows me to hide/show folders easily using a fingerprint lock. I guess I’ll just keep an old version until it no longer works.

I’m also in Seattle and it’s bad out here. I was looking at townhouses last year before the rates went up but couldn’t get a mortgage because of a limited amount of work experience since getting my second degree during the pandemic. I was actually surprised that I could have afforded a decent townhouse in like Edmonds or Shoreline until the rates shot up - going from 3.5% to 7% adds something like $1000 a month in interest on a $400k mortgage. Then I realized I have never lived alone before and wasn’t sure if buying a place was the best way to try that out lol. Average rent in Seattle right now though is like $2300-$2400 a month which is close to 50% of the take-home income of someone making $100,000 per year. It’s insane.

I'm in Seattle, most of my friends have roommates or moved back in with their parents (which I did in 2020 when I lost my last job). I am making slightly more than my last job now with a second degree but after inflation I'm making quite a bit less and rent has gone up significantly since then. So I still can't afford my own place.

My biggest concern with generative AI is all of the CEOs that will eagerly seize the opportunity (and some already have) to fire staff and offload their work onto their remaining employees so they can use ChatGPT to make up for lost productivity. Easy way for them to further line their pockets without increasing pay for anyone else, further dividing the worker/CEO wage disparity and class divide.

Elon works his employees to death, I have several friends that got hired by SpaceX and Tesla after we all graduated and they told me they often work 60-80 hour weeks on salary but that "they build cool shit" so it's "worth it" lol.

I got a second degree in computer science to try and get ahead and instead entered the market just in time for hundreds of thousands of layoffs so now I'm stuck making less than I did at my last job meanwhile inflation and rent have increased the cost of living by like 50%.

Edit: oh and suddenly WFH = evil according to every CEO because of their billions of dollars of real-estate investments

This is the reason I dislike TDD.

Oh the one time I used instant pudding mix it didn't work. It only works with mixes that you cook or making it fully from scratch. Works great with rice pudding!
