  • It takes a lot of work and compromise. You are getting one glance at a lifetime.

    I got married sorta recently. My biggest hold-up was the fact that the most optimal outcome of marriage was this: I was going to spend the remainder if my life making them happy, always being there, and being an essential part of their existence, and when they need me most, in their golden days, near the end, they’re gonna have to hold my hand and watch me fucking die.

    I told them this before I proposed, and the crazy thing was, they were still all for it.


  • I remember CRTs being washed out, heavy, power hungry, loud, hot, susceptible to burn-in and magnetic fields… The screen has to have a curve, so over ~16" and you get weird distortions. You needed a real heavy and sturdy desk to keep them from wobbling. Someone is romanticizing an era that no one liked. I remember the LCD adoption being very quick and near universal as far as tech advancements go.

    Worth pointing out that credit scores are completely detached from the government. They are entirely private industry, that is collecting and selling your financial info without your consent or opt in. If you were born before 2004, then they have also accidentally leaked literally all your personal info to the dark web, with literally 0 consequences.



  • Just charge it and use it. Recharging and discharging the battery shortens the life of the battery. In an ideal world, you would charge the laptop battery to 50% and then never charge or use it again, but that’s makes your battery fucking useless.

    So use your laptop. My advice is to keep it plugged in as much as possible. Most laptops (even 10 years ago) can run directly off the wall power, which stops the battery from degrading (as fast) as older laptops where they were constantly powered by the battery, and the charger just kept it topped off.

    Most of the battery advice you hear is just voodoo bullshit, or it makes a very small difference in the overall life of the battery. Just use your computer like normal.
