I don't know you, but I'm happy that you get to be you. If you wouldn't be friends with your family members, then why would you spend time with them? As far as parents go, they chose to have me, I didn't choose them. Not all people are good, and just because you are related to them doesn't mean it's healthy to have them in your life. Enjoy your day!

While I can't help you with a car, I share your desire of wanting things with replaceable parts, so I leave you with this, the coffee maker version your salad spinner, https://us.moccamaster.com. All parts replaceable.

I’m about the same age as you. I was raised in a strict christian home. For a long time, I thought that was normal. It wasn’t. I didn’t see it clearly until my late thirties, sitting in therapy for depression. That’s when I learned it was abuse.

The best thing my therapist told me was to cut off contact. I did. And I’ve never been happier. I’ve got my own family now. We live with love, not fear. We tell the truth. We don’t play mind games.

If my parents ever want to make peace, they’ll have to admit they were dishonest and tried to control me. But they won’t. They still say they did what they thought was best.

For me, I just look forward to the day I stop thinking about them, or the day I hear they’ve passed.

Some banks do things that make you never want to do any business with them. Wells Fargo would open checking/savings/credit card accounts without their customers knowing, then Wells Fargo fired thousands of employees as a result of being caught. I will do everything possible to never to business with them.

I actually wanted to know, real person proof user: AH4oFVbPT4f8 created: August 12, 2013

I'm going back and forth between the different models seeing which works best for me but I'm trying to learn how to read and use other people's feedback in making their decisions.

Why is Google THE AI play as you put it? I don't agree or disagree, just wanting to understand your perspective.

Do you ever have issues sending messages using user.acme@example.com as the from address?

Some companies want you to respond from the email address on file when you interact with them.

Is going through MathAcademy as an adult done for the sake of learning? Is it done as a hobby? What benefits are there for someone who may not be in a math related field to go through MathAcademy?

AH4oFVbPT4f8 — Fri, 06 Sep 2024 11:57:30 +0000

I've felt burnout and feel that I'm dealing with it now. I know doing exercise, a better diet, nature, will all help, but it's the motivation to start doing it. You wake up not wanting to go to work. You're at work, not wanting to go home. You're at home and don't want to go to sleep since it means you're just going to start the cycle again tomorrow. My issue is finding the motivation to start improving.

I vote for yes, we should stop posting X links in as many places as possible. I don't have an account and do not plan to create one.

I run multiple e-commerce websites where up time is critical and the types of errors could be anything. I use a service called Wormly that hits specific end points from multiple locations around the world. I'm not affiliated, just a happy customer.

Cases like this always make me think of the 3-2-1 backup strategy. 3 copies of the data, 2 different media, and 1 off site. I sometimes feel like I'm paranoid when backup up my files and photos like this until I read stories like this. I don't know how people outside of IT would even think of making 3 copies.

Yes but I have to check every so often to make sure its still off. I try to use Kagi for all things search and Fastmail for email/calendar.
