I won’t reject that label, but I thought we would have set the bar a bit higher than basic planning to be a nerd. I mean that standard seems low enough to be a tripping hazard.
Doing it that way would take too much of the merry out of it for me, and it would feel like a chore. I find that counterintuitive to the spirt of the season.
Merry Christmas!
What am I missing, didn’t the impact of that opportunity pass? I’m done shopping… I have a couple of items that are still in shipping that should make it in time, but if the objective was to hurt the bottom line; this is 1-2 weeks late.
I’m assuming this is to align with Christmas. Am I that weird that I need time to wrap stuff and try not to finish sliding in bruised and battered by 4:00am Christmas Day?
It might be that I’m looking at this from a US perspective. Craig’s list has been a bit rough when I’ve tried it. Scammy and shadier people. I hope you’ve had better experiences here than me.
I found cash converters out of the UK. Is that correct? It seemed comparable to a pawn shop at first glance.
Ok, I feel old. The only reason facebook has any relevance to me is the market place. What’s the best alternative?
Florida man here. Driven I-4 many times, can be scary, but not horrible. Miami, yes can be horrifying.
Dallas and Houston, I hate driving in the most. I don’t like Atlanta traffic, but I’d agree with you it’s awful. I was just being coy with my comment. Atlanta is probably top 10 worst drivers in the country. That list probably correlates well with biggest cities too.
Maybe it’s because I drive less since Covid, but I’d seems like everyone has gotten 10x more aggressive. Just in general. Kindness seems to almost be obsolete and decency is a rarity.
For what it’s worth, my mantra when driving is lead, follow, or get out of the way. I try to match speed to about the 80th percentile of traffic so I don’t jam things up, but also not the one that sticks out to get the speeding ticket.
Tell me you’ve never been to Texas without telling me you’ve never been to Texas. 😉
These were so cool. Didn’t they work by the pitch omitted? When a mechanical lever struck a plate that emitted a tone. The tv then receives the tone and completes the task.
I’m on the Proton train, but know now, you’ll never see a discount once you’re a customer. They will promo you up to a more premium plan, but I recommend only comparing proton at full price.
Edit: I'm on a proton family plan. I’ve watched since October for any kind of deal or promo with Black Friday. There’s nothing available once you’re on this type of plan.
You will be offered a discount the first time you up to this plan, but once on it, nothing.
This sentiment is all over the proton communities.
For what it’s worth, I’m not expecting any BIG discounts from proton, but it would feel a lot better if they offered something (5 or 10 percent) on an annual subscription that’s nearly $300. (Yes I know annual is discounted from monthly, as is always the case).
As a subscriber it feels like you’re just part of the revenue stream and forgotten.
I’ve not found anything that indicates it’s not healthy when done within reason. That is you remain hydrated and have the fat reserve to burn. So fasting doesn’t exclude water. Tea and coffee would be permitted as well as long as no sugar or milk. I also understand the intermittent fasting typically maxes around 72hrs.
Anecdotally, I found it highly effective as part of my dieting routine. I only did the intermittent fasting as a period of “you’re not supposed to eat between these times.” Now if I felt I wanted to break the fast, I made myself spend the effort and make something healthy. I let myself eat if I was actually hungry, but it had to be a real good-for-me meal and something that required dedicated time to make if breaking the fast.
My fasting target was from 8:30pm to 12:00pm the next day. The pattern and habit seems to help control that “boredom hunger”.
I found tracking everything I ate and using a food scale helped me learn what a serving size really is.
I see a lot of keto/low carb hate, but it’s the only one that worked for me. I was able to lose weight and not be hungry all the time.
NextDNS has been good to me. I think it’s about $20/yr if you go over the free tier.
Maybe one day I’ll get my pie-hole running. This was easier.
Don’t worry. If you upgrade to a premium plan, you won’t be eligible to get any discounts anymore. Nothing offered to existing customers even if purchasing annually.
Sincerely, Frustrated Proton Family plan subscriber
We’re such a cruel society. In a time when we focus on the story of a poor and downtrodden migrant family. With the birth of a child born without medical care in an unsanitary location. This child would then become one that teaches peace, kindness, and care for one another.
Clearly, it’s been heard and the story is known by many, who not only claim to be part of this movement, but profess it as their religion. It seems the core concept is so desperately lost everywhere we look, if we take a moment to truly observe our world.
Merry Christmas.
