Depends on a lot of things. I’m no expert but here is what I can throw in.
Is this a new cat? Maybe it needs training.
Is this new behavior? If it’s something new then maybe the cat has a medical problem. Our cat was clogged and the vet needed to do surgery.
The worst is waiting all day long, and they never call.
You really think these companies are inventing this stuff for your benefit? They will read your mind and force ads into your head so they can profit. It’s all about their profits.
99% of jobs I applied to had no reply. Even when I would follow up several times they don’t answer.
One single job had an interview and I had a migraine and failed.
Basically every job I had was being at the right place at the right time and talking to the right people. Just chatting and saying I did X, Y, and Z. They come back with want to work for us? You start Monday.
The job market is crazy.
During the API stuff: I wiped all my posts and closed my group. Don’t think they ever sent that message to me. I hope everything stayed deleted. But I won’t dare to log in ever again.
I just moved across states.
I took everything apart, packed the equipment in boxes using tons of padding. Any extra space in the boxes was filled with extra cables and more padding. Rack mounts that I have come completely apart.
My main servers have hard drives, so I used a lot of foam all around the server and added trackers (air tags) to the servers and my camera stuff.
I’m now off grid so not really in a hurry to setup all this stuff, but happy it seems to have made it here in great condition. Eventually I will setup the rack mounts just to hold the equipment and maybe I will power on things here and there as I feel like playing with them again.
They lost me when they discontinued snap cam on the computer.
I recently rented a huge truck (the biggest you can rent with a normal car drivers license) and it had a ton of high tech stuff, lane departure warning, speed warnings, auto braking, and so much more.
The issue was when I was on the highway going 70mph (the max speed of the truck, also artificially restricted) there was a tiny side road with a speed limit of 35mph, and the truck on the highway slammed the brakes with warnings on the dash that I was exceeding the speed limit of 35, but I’m on a highway with a speed limit of 75mph.
Stupid technology. Makes things more dangerous than it should be.
We have a 3D printed ukulele and ocarina. Those were fun to make.
I also like the 3D printed iris box that prints in place, really cool to show people.
Also 3D printed a sun dial for my dad that displays the time like digital numbers.
My wife and I met ages ago. We were friends for a while. Went on some dates, and eventually got together. I think we were dating about 8 years before getting married, we knew we were compatible. We didn’t rush anything.
I got married in Vegas, it was a very affordable wedding. That was almost 10 years ago.
If one of us dies, being married is a very easy way to make sure the other person inherits everything they need to survive.
I also see how impressed older people are when we say we are married, it seems so few people get married anymore.
There are so many good reasons to get married. Just be sure before jumping in that both are on the same page of life and goals, compatibility, compromise and understanding, etc.
In the mid 2000s I had a little TV with a PlayStation 2 console, but going over bumps scratched the games so I took it all out. It was fun for a while.
If I were to prepare for the internet to be out, I would most likely do the following:
I would go with a mix of 720 for most movies/shows and my favorites at 1080. I would also go for a collection of my favorite music.
Then as an extra download Wikipedia and some Ted talks, and a bunch of YouTube videos to watch offline. I guess some e-books and or PDF. Maybe download some memes and stuff to laugh at.
I just made a post on discord about this, and I link to alternatives such as a matrix group, signal chat, my YouTube channel, etc. if I am locked out, then I hope my followers can follow me to the new place, whatever that is.
Practice daily, any chance you get. Then see how far you get and if you enjoy doing it.
I see throughout history things have their ups and downs. I look forward to the next up.
One time in the mid 2000s my friend and I were on a hike in the mountains and we found a tree that was like a cave, all branches everywhere except a little entrance. Inside we found porn magazines with the pictures ripped out and placed on branches all over the inside of the “cave”. After that we always joked about the porn cave we found.
Futo has grants for open source and sounds close to what you need.
My wife used to use it, it was all the neighbors hearing fireworks or trash trucks and thinking it was gun shots all the time. But we did score a few things from their for sale section, and some yard sales listed on there.
So happy I went with a steam deck
