Gave my friends some phone calls and told them I love them cause they are my friends. It was weird cause one of them thought i was gonna do something bad, and it made me realize that maybe I should ease into something like that next time.

That’s wonderful. I need to do more of that with my family

At my volunteering gig, I got into an argument with this boomer who was constantly trying to boss me around and act like I had some ulterior motive for volunteering. She wasn’t anyone’s boss, but she’s been volunteering there for ages, so she has this attitude that she’s above me. Still, I should have just let it go. They didn’t text me to give me a schedule, so I guess that’s over.

I was mainly doing the volunteer work to kind of practice for working again, since I’ve been out of the workforce a long time. I’m kind of thinking that I should just enjoy the free time I have left before I have to rejoin the grind of wage labor.

I’m making good progress on running. I’ve run almost 60 miles so far this month, and broke my personal record for a 10k by a fair amount. I’m going to take it a little easier next week because I definitely overtrained.

Thanks for the support, I appreciate it

I’m training for a 10k race and it’s going pretty well. I’m running farther and faster than I’ve ever done. I probably won’t actually compete in the race since it’s $60, but I’m going to run the route and try to hit my goal time.

On other fronts I’m not doing as well. I’ve got to go back to work sometime late this year after 15 years out of the workforce. I’ve been trying to simulate what’ll be like by volunteering, but I’m having trouble getting along with people. I feel like quitting because it’s making me more anxious.

I’m just going to try to stay positive and not worry about it.

Could you add me to the list?

Feel completely the same. I think I prefer the term agender for myself, but I’m still figuring this out.

I was a water-cooling main for ages because I believed the hype that it’s quieter. For my last PC I went air cooled with comically large fans(120mmx2 on the CPU and 360x2 case fans) and it’s quieter, especially in the long run. With water cooling, especially AIOs, the pump gets louder over time.

I’m back on nicotine, too.

I quit smoking a year or two ago by switching to vaping and gradually reduced the nicotine dose to zero. I fell off the alcohol wagon for a few days and bought one of those disposable vapes. I haven’t drank since, but I’ve been wasting a small fortune on those vapes.

I keep telling myself I’m going to quit again, but I’ve got a lot going on right now. I’m looking for work for the first time in 12 years and recently quit smoking weed. I’m afraid of changing too many things at once and having a major relapse and ending up on harder drugs again. Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.

Wishing you luck comrade!

Any fitgirl repack of a switch game comes with a fully configured version of yuzu. You could download one of those(Google fitgirl repacks, it’s the first site), and remove the system files.

These posts always make me question myself because I’ve basically never worn deodorant or antiperspirant.

I’ve had jobs where you can’t be stinky(sales,office jobs, at a hospital), and nobody has ever said anything. I’ve lived with partners for 16 years, none have ever complained about my smell(besides times when anyone would smell, like after a long run on a hot day).

I’m guessing I just have lucky personal body chemistry, but I’m sure there will be some people telling themselves I’m just smelly and don’t know it.

I use PIA because it was the cheapest on their 3.3 year plan, and it has a good node geographically close to me with port forwarding. I only use it for torrenting, so I don’t care if it’s a CIA Honeypot or whatever.

You usually need to grab most reality shows on the day they air because nobody seeds them after a few days. I recommend using some kind of rss feed setup, either through sonarr or with your torrent app.

Showrss.info is pretty good for beginners. It allows you to make a customized rss feed that has the shows you want in the formats you prefer. I checked and they have house hunters. This won’t help with back episodes, but at least you can start accumulating the new ones

I think the only way it will work is if you connect via Bluetooth(if the echo dot can do that). Casting basically just sends a URL to the device and it fetches the audio feed itself. Since xmanager isn’t on the echo, it can’t block the ads.

I have the same issue when playing through my Google Home’s. I tried looking for a domain to block through my router, but I couldn’t find one that wouldn’t also block the music.

That’s exactly what the shopkeepers privilege is, an immunity to false arrest claims when they have suspicion you’ve stolen something.

The two cases I found, the judges decided that refusing to show the receipt was enough to provide that suspicion

The customer sued the store civilly for false arrest after security held them.

If you called a cop they would say, “it’s a civil issue” because cops don’t do shit when businesses do crime to consumers.

I was at BJ’s wholesale, where they always check every receipt. Usually it’s just a cursory glance, but one day they had some cop wannabe checking off every item on the receipt, causing a huge backup. I pushed my cart past the line and left. The guy chased me out into the parking lot, took my plate number and told me he was calling the cops. Nothing came of it, but it embarrassed the shit out of my partner.

I went home and did a bunch of research. From what I found, there aren’t a lot of cases that addressed the issue, but I found a two civil cases where people were physically detained after refusing to show their receipt. They sued for false arrest and their cases were both dismissed. I’m not a lawyer and there may be newer case law on this.

I hate the checks, but it isn’t worth it to me to risk dealing with cops when I’m not getting anything from it and making someone else’s job harder.

Checking receipts when you leave a store. They have cameras everywhere and they can access my receipt through their computer system. I already paid, this is my stuff, they shouldn’t be able to detain me without suspicion I stole something.

I don’t raise a stink with the poor person checking receipts, though, because I am not an asshole.

It appears to be a browser plugin that bypasses those countdowns that paying link shorteners use to force you to look at ads. Sites like adf.ly

I’m using amcrest cameras with frigate. They work offline, but their doorbell cameras are wireless only, IIRC.

Frigate records and does object detection, so you can get notifications(with photos in the notification) only when there is a certain object in a certain area(like only people in one area, cars and people in another, cats in a third area).

It’s a cheap setup if you already have a server running 24/7. It takes quite a bit of setup, but has been trouble free since.

Did you not see how that turned from a really inconsequential disagreement to something emotional and personal almost immediately?

Sure, no single post was particularly toxic on its own. It’s the holy war tenor of discussions on Phoronix that all but guarantees that every discussion ends up as a flame war.
