I had one that lasted for 12 years. By the end it was more of a media centre connected to my TV, but still.

3dfx Voodoo2, followed by a Riva tnt2. Good times were had.

They're still immeasurably better than Spotify, both for artists and in terms of bitrate...

Is your adblocker not stopping them?

The worst about ideation for me is that a few days/weeks/months later, I'm almost always thinking "I was willing to do that? Because of XYZ? That would've been so fucking stupid!"

But in the moment your brain can just be like "topping yourself is clearly the only logical solution" and make you actually believe that shit.

It's wild.

Sorry, I realise this is a bit off topic.

The word hang up threw me off a little given the context

I dunno, I have so many USB c chargers and cables around that I bin them every time a device comes with another cable.

Yes I completely understand that. But it also undermines the "give your older laptop a new life with Linux" narrative that's out there at times. It's actually not that easy. I'm happy running Linux but I wouldn't put it on my moms old laptop..

This is my life right now.

I put Linux on my HP laptop...

Speakers give weird sound Media keys don't work Worst of all: ever since I updated the laptop somehow crashes my router? Like, I don't even know how this is possible, but it's happening.

I'm not an idiot but all the solutions to getting these seemingly basic things to work as intended are extremely contrived.

I used to be very skinny, like 58 kgs at 186. I met my wife when I was 18 and she loves skinny dudes 😂

Regardless, I did feel self conscious about my skininess because I was bullied for it in school. I've both accepted myself, but I also gained about 15kg of muscle by doing starting strength. I'm by no means ripped, but I do feel like I carry myself with more confidence and that goes a long way.

Also, my dude, take this from someone in a 20 year relationship... Looks are neat and all, but finding someone you can actually stand, spend a lot of time and plan a life with is a significantly more worthwhile trait to pursue.

They told me three months. In case the wires reconnect

 

My neighbour has a cat called Stevie. Stevie hangs out with us a lot and we look after him when my neighbour is away.

Yesterday we found Stevie very unwell in our garden. We took him to the neighbour and she immediately rushed him to the vet.

She mentioned the vet was 200 dollars which was a big unexpected expense for her. Her son's birthday is on Monday and she won't be able to do anything for his birthday now.

My wife and I are fortunate enough for 200 dollars to not be a lot of money for us and we want to help, but I'm unsure how.

One option would be that we leave her a little card with 100 dollars and write that we wanted to help because we care about Stevie too.

Another idea is we ask her to do some gardening for us (that's her job, and we're too busy to do it ourselves right now).

I don't want her to feel patronised or awkward about any of this... Happy to take insights.
