So here’s the deal. I can’t understand people. Between the ADHD and general hearing issues I would pay a lot to have the ability to have subtitles on people. I feel left out on a lot of conversations due to not being able to follow along.

Something that’s an option is I’m seeing eco skeletons on the market. It’s still expensive at $900 but if that means you can give your loved one the ability to walk without risk and hospital visits that could be a way to go. Might even be covered with some insurance. Just leave a note written by them explaining in simple terms why they are wearing those weird things.

I would if I could. I only found out Verizon has some bullshit lock on my phone that prevents me from at least trying GrapheneOS. Likely the last time I buy from them and I’ll bring my own device next time.

If anyone knows a way around the Verizon lock let me know.

Fun fact. I had this problem and in the Windows settings I found an option to have the cursor have a circular animation when I hit the Ctrl key.

I’ve been a bodybuilder for six months and this is my take. The diet is big. Remove excess junk from your food and focus on eating nutrient dense foods. I go hard and measure all my food in grams so I have consistency with my food. Do you have to do this monk level BS? No but I’m pushing myself for health reasons and want to see where it will take me. If you can do four to five meal breaks per day. You just eat a lot less per sitting. It helps keep hunger pains away and I never feel like I’m starving or so full I’ll burst.

If you find your caloric needs per day you can slowly enter a deficit. KEY. Deficit is not starving yourself. So don’t think you can do 1/2 your daily needs and magic will happen. Something will happen but not what you’ll want in the end.

Be safe. Be smart. Good luck.

If you’re open to a suggestion I find swapping the veggies to a Normandy or Melody blend tossed with salt, pepper, garlic powder with a little olive oil and oven roasted taste better. IMO. Milage will vary

What did we expect? Government is looking out for itself or anyone big enough to pay for a seat at the table.

Republicans appear to be driven by hate and ignorance of the things they do

Democrats appear to do nothing for the people either.

We have lost faith in the courts ability to stand up for the rule of law. Sure we protest. Yell at our elected officials but at the end of the day it seems like we keep picking the worst thing and diving head first.

I know I’m projecting a bit here but it’s so exhausting to keep up and it wears us out

Sure keep voting for what you want and what not. Doesn’t help with it’s red vs blue and both sides are a shit sandwich and the only choice for sides are bigotry or compliances.

It’s helpful for me. It’s just a raw stream of thoughts and ideas. Most don’t go anywhere but it’s a good first stop to get an idea out of my head. Even if it turns out to be stupid I can read it later and react accordingly.

It’s interesting. Normally I just go with the flow of the game but this is the first time I’ve used the steam notes feature. At first it was little bits of information. Then it got a bit deranged as things went on. I won’t spoil anything but it’s weird and I find it interesting in spite of the fact that I hate puzzle games. Like really hate.

I actually really like the look of it. It’s so ugly.

Also paint. I hate seeing paint chips on my car. I know I can wrap but that’s an extra expense to eat.

I just can’t see myself buying a new Tesla due to the damage Elon has caused. It’s a shame because my current Tesla is a wonderful car, in my opinion.

I wonder if people don’t want the truck because of its design or the association with Elon more.

I used Netflix on my TV but after the password sharing and other issues I choose to block network access.

Most of my Internet is done on my computer.

So glad I blocked my TVs access to the Internet at the router level. Never complainrd about not setting up a network if the network doesn’t work.

Find the little things that are easy to fix. Recently I had two sections of my laminated flooring that started to peel. I got some low profile transaction strips and set them up. Worked out that the area to repair the actual divide between my living room and dining room so it looks like it was supposed to be there.

It’s nice. I paired it with a solar generator so my electricity usage is way down. Sure it takes longer but half the time I forget to put clothes into the dryer when I had two units for several hours.

It’s washes then moves tona drying mode. This is one of those all in one units. I wonder if the amount of towels I add is causing this.

Spicy release notes. Not for the faint of heart.

I’m petty and absolutely used this among other reasons to move away from home as far as I could. So much happier knowing I’m too far away to be bothered. It still sucks when I go home and get the same requests.

Also gym outside of work really helps. Had that not happened I might have found another excuse to not go

For me I paid for not only the gym but the trainer to help me build the routine and habit. I know that’s not an option for all but I did this to make myself accountable. That and I’m tired of my back going out time and time again.
