GnuCash. I’m with Starling Bank. I transfer about £550 to my credit card pot to spend for the month and do my very best not to exceed it. I have an Amex (default) and MasterCard credit cards on which all my day-to-day spending occurs. American Express gives me a balance text every Sunday, but entering purchases in GnuCash makes sure I know what it is roughly.
All paths lead to the singularity. There is no going back. Every stumbling block can be circumvented. But if he was determined, he’d probably declare war on the undersea cables that transfer the internet between countries, which is so easy to do we’ve had to stop sharks and pistol shrimp from doing it.
NewsBlur is awesome. Great web interface, native apps for mobile, super customizable, and the developer is a great dude. I’ve been using it for a few years now since I got tired of running my own ttrss instance.
I have a 91 Chevy S10 that I will likely be buried in. I’ve had it for nearly 15 years and it’s my favorite. I learned to drive in an S10 and sadly we had to sell that one. I bought the current one as a “replacement” and I love it even more. It is objectively not that great, but it’s clean and runs well and when it dies, it’s getting a V8.

Start looking into this and you get loads more in your recommended. For all the low effort R-ddit and meme channels there are loads of people working on high quality content. Learning YouTube is vast once you get into it. Nebula is pretty good too.
Cody’s Lab. He has been building a Mars base in the Utah desert for a couple of years now, including not being able to work on stuff without a “space suit” or Robo Cody. He also does a lot of very interesting science experiments involving chemistry, engineering, and geology.
Styropyro. Very hard to describe, seriously just watch one of his videos, your mind may be blown (by lasers or very large battery arrays, who knows!)
