Lightning bugs, aka Fireflies, are harmless. Their little butts just emit flashes of light from internal chemical reaction, like a short lived glow stick. If you encounter a field with a bunch of them, it’s real pretty.

I think grammatically they meant you could also get your face revoked, leading into the following sentence of being shot down.

The other side of that coin is the cost of commuting to work, assuming you live where you work presently.

You’ll have to consider gas and/or public transportation if you’re commuting 2 hours daily for work or school. That doubles if your girlfriend will be commuting separately. Insurance may also increase if they consider your communiting distance, but definitely for annual mileage.

On top of commuting, have you considered your utilities such as gas, electricity, and internet?

That $500/month, is it for an apartment to yourselves or a room in a rooming house? If it’s a rooming house, there are other costs to consider like stolen food, cleaning and hygiene products. Lost time due to roommates not cleaning up after themselves. Other problems like the other people being psychotic.

If it’s for an apartment you’ll have to yourselves, just consider why it’s only $500/month over and above it being an hour away. Is there heavy crime in the area? Is there high joblessness in the area? Is it falling apart and/or moldy? Are there multiple apartments in the same town as low as that or is this a one-off, which makes it even more suspect.

Generally speaking, if possible you want to keep your housing expenses under 33% of your net income. So even $1k/mo you’re under that. 66% of your net income not going to housing expenses means you should be able to spend decently on food, wants, other needs, and savings.

Take time to consider all that and look for free financial literacy education. Being financially literate goes a hell of a long way to not putting yourself in the shit.

Surprisingly, yes. I made some risky decisions between 2020-2022 that paid off significantly, though.

The pandemic turned my prior job to 100% remote and I got in writing from their HR that I could move anywhere in my province. This allowed me to find a house I was able to afford buying, so that’s what I did with the support of my wife. About a year after that I got a much higher paying job local to my new home, which is when I beat or matched my parent’s income at the time which certainly was more than when she was my age.

I lept into the unknown and didn’t die, it’s been great!

3D printer’s on the fritz, eh?

Apparently phone too! Like 3 cards down was another post linking to instructions on how to run it locally on a phone in a container app or termux. Really interesting. I may try it out in a vm on my server.

Can someone with the knowledge please answer this question?

From the valve to the tip of the nozzle still holds gas that hasn’t let go yet. Just like when you pour water from a cup, there’s still water left gripping the cup that can condense into larger droplets and drip out as soon as you put it back in your pants, unless you shake it a few times first.

That’s our scramble man!

I don’t really need all the fluff that Plex has but the only thing holding me back is no PS5 support.

Transition my main host to Linux, maybe Plex to Jellyfin, setup a switch (have an RS900 and access to acquire a free CS2960), a UPS or two. I may also wind up getting my hands on some PoE cameras and APs. Run some cable too.

Totally understandable reaction, that would be awful. A really solid choice, in my opinion, for BBQ is Carolina Mustard if you decide to try the various styles. Even in the Dijon style there’s bold, smokey, honey, sweet n spicy. There are other whole mustard seed varieties used as cracker toppings too. It’s pretty wild thinking about it actually.

Have you tried much of the mustard spectrum? There’s all sorts beyond the standard yellow. Sweet, spicy, savory, smokey, smooth, chunky, combinations, the list really goes on. Mustard is incredibly diverse.

It was wild, would buy milk and a couple days later it was chunky. Fridge always felt cool. When the veggies started spoiling on a similar time scale we decided it was best to replace, thankfully had a solid landlord.

The next time I had a bad fridge it would freeze things randomly. Milk and lettuce would freeze, but stuff next to it was fine. Figured it was haunted, bought a new one as at this point I was my own landlord.

Moral of the story, refrigerant leaks are no joke and can do weird shit.

Had this start happening and got a new fridge, didn’t happen anymore. Do your veggies also spoil quickly? If so, your fridge likely be bork.

Farts blow open the empty kernels like a plastic bag in the wind, then the poop gets in them

I have an elitebook g6 running Linux just fine, I’m sure yours can too!

I try this and it sometimes helps, but sometimes the “crunching” side starts to throw a cramp too. I should eat more bananas…

One of the previous owners of my house believed in rolling dice for how many Brad nails to use. It could contain anywhere from 1 to 100 in the casing.

I don’t get the calf cramps, but foot or ribs. Ribs are the fucking worst because hiw the fuck do you stretch that out?! I can only reach up so high! It’s not fair!
