Pretty much when I bought my house it’s been mostly grown-up feeling since then. Interest rates, insurance rates, and debt-service ratios are always in the back of my mind now.

Once I pay off my vehicle debt I’ll be able to bankroll a better house outside of town with some land. Assuming shit doesn’t go pear shaped in the next 3-4 years…

Also, playing the “should I dump my bonuses into my RRSP or pay down debt” game… never had medium or longer term goals before.

And?

Definitely not upset lol

I promise

I had something like this one. It was the ram. If I powered off, shut off the PSU and unplugged, then reseated the ram and tried again it would come on. Upgraded the ram and the issue went away.

Also, if you encounter this with a Dell laptop, same thing (just make sure to disconnect the battery before touching the ram).

I work in IT and right now it’s a group of CCTV IP cameras that have a patterned flicker at certain times of the day but on random days. I’m pretty sure I’ve boiled it down to either a heavy power draw from other equipment or the shitty segregated network they’re on. I’m in the middle of desegregation and network uplift and the pool is shrinking so I might have it figured out finally but it’s been months still hella random.

When we do it right, you forget we’re here and we’re ok with that.

iPhone SE - work phone provided by work. No idea why iPhone vs Android other than general uniformity and maybe security. I do have the choice of Android or iPhone for my next one, so who knows. Really tempted to go for Pixel Pro because I’m still not used to the differences in navigation a year and a half later. I fuckin hate my work phone. It doesn’t help that my personal is a Pixel 5 and I use the shit out of the back sensor, gonna miss that when this dies.

Apple AirPods Pro - these were a gift when I visited a sister site and they’re awesome. They were better before whatever firmware update happened that forced them to Adaptive Audio or Transparent though. Kind of annoying, but still awesome for being free.

Physically impossible as per our current understanding of physics, mathematics, and technology.

I was 33 for almost 2 years. Covid did a number on my interpretation of time…

Absolutely wild

You learn to enjoy the cold, too. Also, it can be one hell of a way to wake up too.

It’s only quiet after the kids go to sleep.

Also, we suffer from this.

Full moron is more than partial moron.

A partial moron might believe whatever he’s told but then have a “wait a minute, something’s not right here” moment. A full moron doesn’t have that moment and spreads the problem to others.

Another example would be a “leopards are my face” moment. A partial moron would be surprised that approaching a leopard caused them bodily harm but learn not to do it again. A full moron would sue the leopard but do it again with their child.

Another example: a partial moron gets directions, sees the distance, thinks a half tank of gas will get them there and back despite prior trips showing the opposite. But they have a Jerry can in the trunk. A full moron wouldn’t have the Jerry can and buys a bigger vehicle with a larger engine because it comes with a bigger gas tank and then blames the liberals when they still run out of gas.

Partial = recoverable, full = hopeless

Really grind their gears and throw it up on OF as tribute

Was just talking about this with a coworker yesterday. They’d noticed that in their neighborhood, the amount of decorations out were even less than the year before. No one left the area, just not putting stuff up anymore.

56/74, little better now.

The have 0 debt one in your context would be like “pay off your mortgage” or for mortgage+ “pay off your mortgage early”.

Maybe a “get sued for ethical reasons and win” (refused to allow a small business to defraud me, they tried to sue me and then backed off when they read my defense).

Have a humbling experience with a stranger.

I feel like 35 is too young to have completed 51/66 tasks in the life checklist. I’m too young for a midlife crisis (fingers crossed, anyways)!

I see more green than blue, like a seafoam green.

I’m curious what others see? My wife and I have this back and forth of what’s a shade of blue vs green with some things around the house. Gar as I know I’m not colour blind, but I’m aware that some people have better colour perception than others so it really does make me wonder.
