This only serves to justify my secret low key paranoia that my like is like The Truman Show… I wish my parents were better about limiting some of the movies I was allowed to watch growing up… Arachnophobia was another lasting damage banger…
I mean, good idea but terminal execution. The hand just has to move opposite to the rotation or even just move to where you’re going to be.
Around 7% for a 5 bedroom house, including property taxes. I got lucky, landing a $106k purchase and then getting a $110k salary a few years later.
I hate my house, but it’s mine and it’s 7% of my base salary. It’s lower than mine and my employers combined contributions to my rpp and rrsp.
I dread my renewal next summer…
Not gonna lie, I thought this was going in a different direction. Like, the hubris, it could have reacted by swarming him like he was food to a hungry, sentient blob of nightmares.
I’m at one of the latter, so I feel this in my bones. I’ve watched what should have been an innocent config change snowball into a pair of VM clusters shitting back and forth for 2 hours. Implemented strict change control that day. Kind of a pain, but the team learned a lot that day!
A typo in software development or other shell based work could completely ass womp a system in ways that could lose a company lots of money.
Oopsies on prod systems, even with an outage window, can really fuck shit up. Seemingly small mistakes can quickly snowball into systemwide outages.
It’s the opposite of that plot. In that episode, Mr Burns blocks out the sun in order to force everyone to use more electricity to increase revenue for his nuclear power plant.
Right? 2025 on Earth still existed in Star Trek. There’s a non-zero chance you press the button and nothing happens… So you think it didn’t work and push it again only to end up with the BDSM elves…
I work a 4/3, my normal weekends are long weekends. Stat holiday Mondays make for an extra long weekend. Canada Day was a Tuesday this year so I took Monday off and got a 5 day weekend in exchange for 1 vacation day.
The other side of that coin is the cost of commuting to work, assuming you live where you work presently.
You’ll have to consider gas and/or public transportation if you’re commuting 2 hours daily for work or school. That doubles if your girlfriend will be commuting separately. Insurance may also increase if they consider your communiting distance, but definitely for annual mileage.
On top of commuting, have you considered your utilities such as gas, electricity, and internet?
That $500/month, is it for an apartment to yourselves or a room in a rooming house? If it’s a rooming house, there are other costs to consider like stolen food, cleaning and hygiene products. Lost time due to roommates not cleaning up after themselves. Other problems like the other people being psychotic.
If it’s for an apartment you’ll have to yourselves, just consider why it’s only $500/month over and above it being an hour away. Is there heavy crime in the area? Is there high joblessness in the area? Is it falling apart and/or moldy? Are there multiple apartments in the same town as low as that or is this a one-off, which makes it even more suspect.
Generally speaking, if possible you want to keep your housing expenses under 33% of your net income. So even $1k/mo you’re under that. 66% of your net income not going to housing expenses means you should be able to spend decently on food, wants, other needs, and savings.
Take time to consider all that and look for free financial literacy education. Being financially literate goes a hell of a long way to not putting yourself in the shit.
Apparently phone too! Like 3 cards down was another post linking to instructions on how to run it locally on a phone in a container app or termux. Really interesting. I may try it out in a vm on my server.
Can someone with the knowledge please answer this question?
Ya, apparently a hairnet and gloves were enough even though other employees were in full smocks and aprons. It was weird.
I worked at one those “we’ll make you custom chocolates and candies with your branding on them” candy factories in college and it was about on the same level. Not bad but not worthy of “the best in the world”.
On a side note, the micromints were the best product but worst to make. Absolutely covered in powdered sugar walking home in humid summer weather suuuucked. They really should have given me a smock to wear instead of me being in my street clothes.
I had a feastables given to me and I can honestly say it was not the best chocolate bar I’ve ever had. It was pretty average.
I don’t really need all the fluff that Plex has but the only thing holding me back is no PS5 support.
Transition my main host to Linux, maybe Plex to Jellyfin, setup a switch (have an RS900 and access to acquire a free CS2960), a UPS or two. I may also wind up getting my hands on some PoE cameras and APs. Run some cable too.
Father of 4 chiming in: wrapping paper into a bag as you go, helps keep it as tidy as possible. Also, bins or baskets to put the unwrapped gifts into. That last one only works temporarily and is more a psychological band-aid that hurts when it’s removed when it inevitably stops working as desired, until bed time.
