  • I heard an argument for this that I hated. Someone confessed this was how they drive on purpose. They set cruise for speed limit or just under so everyone who wants to pass can do so on the right. They don’t have to worry about traffic merging or trying to get over for an exit. It’s all so they can sit on their phone and not have to pay attention to other drivers and be somewhat safe about it.

    It makes sense, but it has the same energy as the people who drive around with their brights on all all the time so they can see slightly better, and F everyone else.







  • I’m in a much better place at 43 than 33. My finances are better, my kids are older and much less maintenance. I have way more free time now. I remember fighting for 30min one or twice a week to game for a little bit and feeling guilty after (had 4 kids under 10). Now? I game almost every day if I want. I actually get a little bored sometimes. It’s luxurious. My body doesn’t feel much different either. Bit slower healing, but I love my 40s. Don’t make me go back.


  • The assumption that washing toilets and cleaning dishes can’t be a high paying job. If nobody wants to do it scarcity will drive up the salary. The problem isn’t the job, it the minimum wage attached to the job making it undesiarable.

    If you pay a plumbers hourly rate to clean toilets, I can guarantee you people will be lining up to be toilet cleaners.





  • Sooooo, from what I understand, a 2x4 is non load bearing. It’s framing. You should be just fine taking out a single 2x4 without issue. Especially in a basement. All the load bearing in a basement will be metal pillars or resting on the external concrete walls.






  • This is the answer here. If OP has any techy friends they should tell them. I have a dozen HDDs and SSDs and RAM of varying sizes lying around. Most of them even work.

    I tend to canabalize parts as computers pass through my hands. I frequently upgrade family member’s laptops for them. They buy the parts and I provide the labor of cloning windows and putting in the parts. Often the brand new (but smaller) ram/ssd are unwanted.
