Lemmy is more than one mod, more than one community, more than one server. Seems you’re using a lot of words to say goodbye to people who didn’t even know you were here? I’m not sure what you’re really trying to accomplish besides yelling at clouds. Stay and help make Lemmy what you think it should be or go, but posts like this don’t really do anything?

Nothing, they’re not genuinely interested in a discussion. They’re just trying to pin you with a bad answer and will keep moving the goal post until they think they gotcha.

If you have an m.2 slot, 2tb drives are cheap and don’t worry about it for a while

Edited: I originally absent mindedly said 2gb, meaning 2tb

“you were kicked out of their house because they didn’t want you there.”

“Fuck off, they only let like, 10 people in ever. They keep everyone out!”

Solid argument you’ve got there.

As all things will be forgotten. So it goes.

Take the the interstates, pretty much every gas station along those exits will be built to accommodate your situation. I drive from Colorado to Wisconsin and back a couple times a year on I 80 and see a lot of similar setups to what you’ll be doing. It’ll be fine. You got this.

Too bad he didn’t consider that an investment in his future and not just explicitly that show.

Yes, in practicality, this is it.

It’s easy to believe you’re invincible in your twenties. Or “later me can deal with it.”. As that later version of me, I’m not a huge fan of that earlier version in a lot of ways. It’s fine, I’m who I am for what I went through, and I’m righting the ship. But the more cans you kick down the road, the more you have to deal with later and the harder they are to deal with. Physically, mentally, financially. It’s ok to try to live life freely, but definitely be aware of this and consider kicking one less can every chance you get.

If you ever do digitize it, or even going forward for other recipes you use, I recommend checking out the recipe app Paprika 3. I’ve been using it for years now and love it. It even bypasses pay walls on recipe sites like NYT cooking when downloading. Enter the url in the browser section, and hit download regardless of the paywalls I’ve encountered so far. I put cocktail recipes in there too.

Guarantee that A) it doesn’t taste just like real butter, and B) it’ll make you shit yourself and bring a return of the label “may cause anal leakage”.

Does that mean it’s not a potentially viable product? No, it doesn’t. But let’s not bullshit.

I started my career with it, studying it in college. Relying on it for finances definitely is a major push. I don’t touch it for a hobby though because of that. Hopefully others can help with suggestions for that side of things.

You might get differing answers due to the payment portion of the scenario, but here’s my 2 cents.

No, there’s nothing morally wrong here at any level to me. This is legally ok as far as the ages go, pretty much everywhere.

As long as there’s no power dynamic being abused, and both sides are consenting, go for it.

There’s an entire instance for such things, though I don’t know what more is there beyond mostly porn. Lemmynsfw.com

Edited to add: I Guess I didn’t really address the point specifically about not studying and struggling with the tests. That was me the entirety of my education, from the first grades I can remember all the way through my 8.5 years of college with 2 degrees. I just didn’t care, especially when the homework itself wasn’t graded. I’m not sure how to help on that point specifically, other than to say that you’re not alone, and I made it with similar issues.

It’s really difficult to stay motivated for as long as we’re in education. Do you know where your current standing is specifically in those two courses? Could you go to those two professors and voice what you’re facing and see if there’s any recommendations they can provide you?

It’s ok to fail. We don’t want that to be our normal state but it’s ok. It’s ok to be tired and struggling with motivation. A big part of learning is learning how to adapt to new situations and not just learning a particular topic. College is about both and then some.

What year are you in? Some of those early courses are meant to get you to the next step, and some (it’s been a while for me, maybe it isn’t this way anymore) seemed like they were intentionally designed to get people to quit. Weed out courses, so to say.

One of those weed out courses I went through was a huge attendance first level physics course that it seemed like nobody was doing well. About 1/4 dropped it over time to avoid the failing grade.

In the end, the professor did a flat full 2 grade “curve” for everyone that stuck it out. I don’t think his intent was to teach, I think it was to break those who would be willing to drop. I don’t like the concept of those courses, and I don’t even know if they exist anymore, but that’s also something to consider if the ones you’re failing in have that kind of feeling to them.

Keep trying, you’re not a failure just because you’ve failed at something, and sometimes this is part of life. You’ve got this.

No more or less than today really.

It’s very possible it’s not sleep apnea, but it isn’t something that you necessarily know is impacting you. It’s not about hours of sleep, it’s about the quality of sleep and blood oxygen levels due to breathing interruptions.

My sleep study said I had something like 70 “interruptions per hour”, which means I’d stop breathing, my body woke me up just enough to breathe, then fell back asleep, only to do it all over again a little more than once every minute.

Do you snore, possibly excessively? Get drowsy and have to fight nodding off while driving? Do meetings send you to a seemingly impossible fight with staying awake?

Much of your description describes me before I had a sleep study that diagnosed me with sleep apnea. I’ve been using a CPAP for almost a decade now and it was a life changer and possibly saver.

I’m not a medical professional, so take this as you will; I would recommend talking to your healthcare providers and see if a sleep study might be in your interest.

And you’re not expected to do half the laundry, the dishes, and still pay a cleaning fee.

I really like both the Jungle Bird and Artichoke Hold served on crushed ice as tiki drinks.

The Jungle Bird

• 1.5 oz Jamaican rum
• .75 oz Campari
• 1 oz pineapple juice, preferably fresh
• .5 oz lime juice
• .5 oz Demerara syrup (1:1 sugar to water) Shake on ice and strain into crushed ice. Garnish: pineapple wedge and frond

Artichoke Hold:

• 0.75 oz Jamaican Rum preferably Smith & Cross
• 0.75 oz Cynar
• 0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur preferably St Germain
• 0.75 oz Lime Juice
• 0.5 oz Orgeat

Same as above, shake on ice and strain onto crushed ice.

I prefer its big sibling the Boulevardier.

• 1.5 parts bourbon or rye
• 1 part campari
• 1 part sweet vermouth. I prefer Carpano Antica

Express an orange peel over and garnish with it
