Where I am we have a community. We all help each other, loaning tools or labor, giving gifts. No need for credits or trade most of the time. We just all take turns when someone needs it.

Few weeks ago we had some fresh eggs, we gave it to our neighbors that gave us some tomato plants a few weeks earlier.

So I’m supposed to enjoy life when I’m making 10% the income I made 2-3 months ago? Things are fucked dude!

There is a patch to update macOS when it’s not compatible. One I have used before is from dosdude1.

You can also put Linux on it, or dual boot. Older Intel Macs I remember being really wasy, the T2 Mac’s need special drivers but it’s not too hard, and the new Mac’s have ashai Linux.

Have any (CFL) compact fluorescent lights? Those might give the spectrum you’re missing and they only use maybe 20W. At least as a temporary fix.

If that is a refrigerator then he lives in the compressor pumping Freon.

If that’s an oven, he hides behind the crisper drawer and regulates the temperature for you.

Way back when AOL was on floppies there was software called AOHELL that would generate fake name, address, and fake CC just to sign up for AOL free 40 hours.

I’m sure credit cards were always a problem. I think the first 4 or 8 numbers of the card are the issuing bank and location. Something like that. So it’s super predictable.

News often makes thing feel very powerful and negative.

From what I saw on some prepper videos, they suggest being prepared for anything then you won’t have to worry as much.

Start a little garden, collect rain water, have a small solar setup, collect can foods, grains, beans, etc.

Try to prepare in ways that help you not worry. Keep low profile too, don’t get attention for your preparations.

While you are preparing for anything, you are distracting yourself from the negative news.

lol just saw this meme about the book wheel.

I used to have my lights change color when I had motion in the driveway, and dim at night.

I also had a button for bedtime, it would turn off the main lights, turn on dim red lights, then it would turn on the TV. When I was ready to sleep I had one button that turned the black lights UV light on for a minute, then it turned off the TV and the red lights. Then I would sleep with glow in the dark stars.

I gave up on smart watches. Pain to charge them constantly and I feel it’s another spying device.

“Call Jenny”

GPT: calling 8675309

No, call Jenny in my contacts.

GPT: oh sorry, you don’t have Jenny contacts in your contacts.

Ugh 😩

If they used AI, then I consider they lost all credibility.

I notice all the brand name chips are $6-8 but the off brands and Walmart brands are like $2-3…

Lots of things will work, until a week or 2 later then it asks for online authentication.

I 3d printed several instruments such as an ocarina and ukulele. They sound surprisingly good.

I never got that working, so happy it didn’t work because I use heroic now.

I always see Blu-ray players at the thrift stores. They are cheap.

It’s surprising easy… lol

I miss stumbleupon browser extension, it would take me to the fucking coolest websites and crazy awesome stuff. Fuck the company that bought it out and trashed it.

I immediately thought of the game Left 4 dead, I thought it was edited to look like nasa lol

I upload to YouTube. I know it gives up a lot of my privacy and I’m sure it’s being fed Into AI… ugh. 😩

I also upload the same videos to other video sites even if they don’t get many views.
