I do genuinely enjoy cycling yeah, at least if it’s outside. In general though I hate working out (and don’t do it nearly enough as a result), but I do actually like the feeling afterwards
Serious answer: you have to kill the mosquito larvae. Mosquitos like breeding in standing water, so eliminate as much of it as you possibly can from around your home. Set up bucket traps as early into mosquito season as you can; with no nearby standing water mosquitos will lay larvae in there and the larvae will die. This will cause an exponential decrease in the local mosquito population over time. While bug traps, bat houses and pet frogs may help kill adult mosquitoes, setting up traps specifically to kill mosquito larvae early is the most effective thing you can do to reduce the population
One more point on Bitwarden - when the top password managers were being hacked/exploited, Bitwarden was keen to fix what appeared to be vulnerabilities in an extremely timely manner. I don’t remember where I read the article but it still fared best out of all the other managers out there.
Maybe advertise your idea to the right people… But you’re right. Starting a new communitiy takes some effort and more than one person to get things rolling.
It sounds like you might be referring to communities rather than instances. If you don’t want to mod it yourself you could ask in one of the request communities and soneone might choose to start it. Try doing a search for ‘request’ on whichever instance seems like a good fit, and you’ll find one.
“We” by Yevgeny Zamyatin is the book that inspired both “Brave New World” and “1984”. If you go looking for it in paper form it’s sometimes credited to Eugene Zamyatin, as Eugene is the English version of Yevgeny.
There’s a lot of good advice here. I just want to add that you absolutely do not need to go back to school. It’s a waste of money! I’m 100% self-taught, work in “DevOps” and not a single employer in the last 6 years has asked me about my education or credentials. I enjoy it and it pays well. You don’t have to do DevOps though. Lots of jobs in IT and employers are competing for skills.
Ah the interview number makes sense with your post. At first glance it read like you had had a seriously large amount of jobs in that time which didn’t seem very desirable.
I don’t know why I am languishing as senior desktop support then. It seems I lack the ability to even get my resume in front of anyone, let alone an interview.
Believe it or not, with the right skill set (ie if you have skills that employers are looking for) you won’t even need to apply. Headhunters WILL find your linkedin. Right now the market is noticeably slow and thousands of IT professionals got laid off in the last few months alone. The economy will recover soon though so maybe get ready for when that happens by learning new skills. AI, big data, IaC, etc are all in demand.
This is why now it is a good time for me to hunker down and simply learn and get through this tough time. Much as I hate dealing with the over-privileged assholes in state government, I’ll do what I have to whilst learning.
A double double animal style is a good fast food burger. And hits the spot when you’re in the mood. But those fries. Getting them animal style mostly redeems them but barely.
More talking about eating it regularly, I just don’t get it. If I’m at a service station in the middle of nowhere, sure I’ll eat a McDonald’s. But in a city, with hundreds of better options, I don’t get why anyone would choose it over better takeaways.
All I’m saying is I don’t get it, I haven’t eaten enough to know the differences in any of their food. You could put every frie(fry?) And every burger from every FF chain and I wouldn’t be able to identify a single one.
Do you need to eat something multiple times to know how it tastes? Or do you just pay so little attention to what you eat that you can’t tell the difference between thick cut vs thin cut fries, or seasoned vs unseasoned, and so on?
Or are you just blindly saying that any place that’s smaller is inherently superior because it’s less popular? Because you clearly can’t even remember how the fast food tastes…
i have to say living in a country with more options i have not eaten in any of the places on that list in somewhere between 7-10 years and in that time i atleast have forgotten what their fries taste like other than vague memories of slight dissapointment. Also smaller places I would say have to be better than large fast-food chains as why would anyone go there if it was worse. Of course at least in my country there are tons of random no-name grills and kebab-pizzerias that have the most wildly swinging quality but even for them its very rare for the food to be noticeably worse than what I would expect from mcdonalds so atleast for me i would rather throw the dice between "technically edible"and “holyshitthisisthebestthingever!” than choose “tastes like dissapointment engineered to taste “good””. And even if the frood from the Nonamekebappizzeria™ is just barely edible i guess at the end of the day i supported a local business(altough sometimes it might be that they dont pay taxes(not like the multinational corporations are too keen on that either).
I'm guessing that you're some combination of "not poor" and "not from the US."
I'm no longer poor, but I do travel through the continental US on a regular basis. Even though my workplace reimburses me for food when I travel and budget doesn't enter into the equation, I eat fast food fairly frequently.
Scenario A) I've been though a series of planes, airports, and rental cars for the last eight hours. I'm in central Iowa, I've just checked into my hotel, and there's a major winter storm 30 minutes away. Non-fast food takeout isn't an option because this town has 20,000 people in it and I would need to travel for an hour to find a larger town. I could find a nice local restaurant, but there's an Arby's that's a block away from my hotel. Since my priorities are 1) putting some warm food into my face, 2) not driving through snow, and 3) going to sleep, it's Arby's.
Scenario B) I'm driving back home from Chicago, which is about a 7-hour trip by interstate highway. I'm in the scary part of Indiana when I realize that I'm hungry and still hours away from civilization. Food options are a) fast food and b) truck stop food. That last option is basically "unknown fast food with an unreadable label that's been sitting in a heated tray for 4 hours."
Scenario C) I'm in a small southern city that I've never visited. My plane was delayed and my luggage is lost. The rental agency couldn't find the car that I had reserved, so I'm driving a lifted pickup through dark and unfamiliar streets. By the time I finish shopping for some basic overnight things (deodorant, hairbrush, underclothing for the next day), it's 9:45 and most nearby restaurants are closing. Five Guys is a block from the hotel and because they close at 10, I can either choose that or try finding and walking to a restaurant that's open later.
Those are all examples from this year. Basically, takeout options outside of major cities are horrible. In small cities, most places - if they even exist - close earlier than fast food chains. If I have the time and energy I'll absolutely find the nicest local restaurant and enjoy some regional cuisine. And under normal travel circumstances, that's exactly what I do. But sometimes you just need to put warm food into your mouth and get to sleep.
Just start one (a community, that is). There’s not some marauding band of trolls out there, waiting to give you a hard time. If it’s niche enough, it’ll be a highlight just to see someone-who-isn’t-you post something!
I wouldn’t mind creating one, but thinking ahead there may be new users who are looking for certain communities but don’t have the experience to create or mod one themselves.
This could help get things going faster and may give ideas to the people that are happy to do so.
If ebooks are acceptable to you, then Standard Ebooks is the shit. Proper classics, formatted in a nice way, ready to drop onto whatever reading device you have.
