Good pens and good paper.

I’m in IT and do prefer to write for many tasks. When all I need is “Room, Rack, and U” to work on a system, a small scrap of paper is better than putting the laptop on the floor. I expect the role matters more than the industry.

My son has ARFID. He’s 15. It’s really hard. He’s seeing a therapist. But he’s still seriously underweight. I don’t have any food recommendations, but I do wish you the best with your progress.

Employment. I got a job with one of the big companies in the field. Very employee-focused. Good pay. Great benefits. Commute is 8 miles. Smart, pleasant, and capable co-workers.

As far as using the stuff - nope. Don’t use it at all.

My mom is over 80. Little old suburban white lady. She already volunteered - “Just get me close.” She’d be super-thrilled to have her shot with a suicide vest.

If SS payments stop, there will be hundreds of thousands of people with nothing left to lose.

We get them all. Deer, birds, chipmunks. The entire garden needs to be protected by hardware cloth. The chipmunks got through the original chicken wire we had. We had to enclose the top as they climbed over. Plus the small birds eat any berries. A constant battle to be able to harvest anything.

I did. See above

Ke=1/2 M V^2 Not relativistic. So wildly low. But certainly a low bound. My point being that nuclear bomb grade energy is certainly in the ballpark.

By my back-of-the -envelope math it is 4,500,000,000 joules. The Hiroshima bomb is listed at approximately 10,000,000,000,000 joules. I bet xkcd is far more accurate, though.

It sounds like you might like “The Tao of Pooh”.

With that username and that quote, I expect that you are (like me) in your 60s.

How long before this type of behavior gets you thrown out of a window?

I think it has already started. It just hasn’t consolidated yet.

Well I still need to find a job. ASAP.

My wife got some postal mail about unclaimed funds that looked bogus. After several repeats, we found out that it was due to her uncle passing away intestate.

My wife’s already deceased father and him had mingled their finances. But another cousin had found out first and had already moved on cutting us out.

Fixing it has taken over a decade, but the estate finally closed last month. Our share total was around $350k. The thieving cousin probably got away with double that. But hey, a free windfall for retirement.

Unfortunately, I’m out of work so we’re living off of that money now.
