The other option is to contact the phone company and explain, asking an open ended question if there is any way they could help you, with the permission of the current owner of the number, to get one more text message and move your Gmail to a new number. It doesn't sound in any way like you are trying to pull a scam, so they might help.

"And right here let me say one thing: After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!"

Every game I've tried on Linux was either gold or platinum on ProtonDB and ran fine so far. WINE worked for running a couple non-game apps. Lutris is another way to run programs but I haven't needed it yet.

Definitely try it if you have a machine sitting there. There is so much support for Linux and Mint on the web it was easy to answer any questions I had setting things up.

I captured over 300 bed bugs and documented them to the landlord, who had to get exterminators to eliminate them. They sprayed the apartment 11 times from 2021 to early 2022, but nothing reduced the numbers until they attacked the source infestations.

What worked: Buying white box spring and mattress covers that bugs cannot get through and make them easy to see. Steaming and vacuuming the bed.

Putting glass and plastic traps on the floor under the bed legs. Bugs can't climb (some/all?) smooth, vertical metal, plastic and glass surfaces. Test for yourself. Large numbers of bugs could fill the traps so they have to be checked.

Tucking in bedding so that covers and sheets never slide onto the floor during the night.

Vacuuming floors every day to pick up bugs in the carpet or hidden under the baseboards.

Sealing pipes, lights, electrical plugs and switches with clear tape so the bugs cannot enter that way. I found two dead bugs trapped in a hallway light and then two more crawled out while applying the tape.

Completely sealing the vent above the stove after several crawled down, followed by more that were trapped in the clear plastic.

Sealing the bathroom vent with clear plastic packing tape around all edges of the wall, which bugs cannot climb, then sealing the fan cover onto the wall on all sides except the top so air could still escape. Every surface inside the cover and outside had smooth tape.

Some appeared on the floor near the front door into the common hallway, so I covered the first 60 cm / 2 feet of floor in bleach. This seemed to kill smaller bugs but a few larger ones made it through alive. The exterminator said they follow the smell of each other.

My freezer is -20 C. I put every bug in there for at least 2 hours, in a plastic bag, and none came back to life after they were removed and thawed.

Almost everything I have was put in either clear plastic bags or dozens of 60L clear plastic storage bins. I only found one bug in a clear bin that was right under a fire sensor I could not cover. It appeared to have crawled inside through the sideways U shaped top seals on the ends and died.

The plastic traps on the bed were in this form: TTT Window TDT TDT Put these letters in 3 rows with the TTT at the top and window to the right of TTT in your mind.

The darkest traps labeled D had most of the bugs I found in the bedroom (~20 total), which led me to think they avoided light even though I slept head near the window where they would smell CO2. So, I started leaving all the lights on every day. I also turned down the heat but don't know if either helped.

Before I knew they were bed bugs, I killed about 12 in the bathroom over 3 months. Most would burst in a strange gray cloud.

Secure your bed, clothing and furniture. Then it is easier to deal with the stress and sleep in comfort. If you have to move, everything in plastic is safe and can be checked at the new home.

If it is really bad, make sure you and movers have covers on your feet. The first exterminator tracked them back to his house because he didn't cover his feet, but the government inspector always wore them when inspecting the building.

In one of the Market Wizards books, an investor said that if he cannot sleep from worrying about his positions, he sells them until he is comfortable.

If your company is granting you call options, all your new ones will be at lower prices and they may even lower the strike prices on the old ones to retain good employees. Try to get investments that are not correlated with the success of your company or industry or where you own property.

The boss that hired me 15 years ago told me to save 20% of my take home income and invest it in quality companies with consistent earnings. He later retired at 55. Cut your costs, pay off your debts and lower your personal overhead, so that you are more resilient if you have to switch jobs or earn less money.

Timing the market over the long term is very difficult and it is better to assume you cannot. It has been known for decades that if you miss a couple dozen up days because you were flat or short the market, your returns over decades are much lower. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-missing-out-on-25-days...

If you are going to buy stocks or an index like the S&P 500, take a look at 50 years of data and see how bad the top 10 declines were and how long it took for those investments to reach new highs. The stocks I own have gone down 50% previously and I assume they could top that with a 60-70% decline. The worst time it took almost 3 years to get back to new highs. Once you know that about your investments, you can rest easier.

Look for chances to buy quality companies so you do well when profits improve. You have all your valuable skills, you know more now and will do better in the future.

Here in Canada, the infusion sets Mio 30, Mio Advance, Sure T and Mio that I have used all came with a cap in each set. They also charge the government C$26 each, but still that cap cannot be worth more than a few cents, so it is a strange way to save money.

The sets have been failing early for me as well at the rate of about 1 in 10. I started with the Mio Advance and my nurse said to call Medtronic and report the failures. Medtronic sent a box of 10 Mio Advance plus boxes of 10 Mio and 10 Sure T (metal) to try for free. The Sure T failed less than the Mio Advance and Mio, but I just had one fail the first day so am trying the Mio 30 which goes in at an angle but uses plastic.
