[Weekly thread] How is your week going? 22-01-2024
  • I'm pretty stressed out about the situation I'm in. It's a long story but I'll try to sum it up. I'm more or less working 2 full time jobs right now along with all the stuff that comes with being a home owner and partner to another person.

    One job is "normal". And boring, so I hate every second of it. Other job is my dream but isn't currently paying the bills very well. It could, if I could quit the first job and focused on only the second but money won't ramp up immediately.

    I'm not making enough between the two jobs to build up a buffer. Quitting the first job is the best path but it will also come with upsetting my partner for a period of time until the second job ramps up.

    I'm so annoyed about how expensive it is to live. None of us signed up for this!

  • What do you like to do in your free time?
  • Yeah, in it's current iteration, it just exudes potential. I couldn't just let it die so I started digging for information and ended up speaking with the developer whom noone had heard from in 5 years. Original source code is lost, unfortunately. So I'm starting from scratch.

  • Anon gets a present
  • I met my fiancee on Hinge and Tinder. We matched on both at the same time. Hinge is probably the better one if you're looking for something serious but play the field, whatever your attention span will allow for.

    Bumble is also a decent one. It has, or at least used to have? I've not used it in almost 2 years, a "unique" feature where the woman messages first. Though that usually just ends up being a "Hi" or something even less conversation-starting.

    Really depends on what you're looking for, I guess.

  • Anon gets a job
  • This is exactly me. I spend most of my workday on my phone, doom scrolling. There might be an hour of actual work to do on a given day. It's driving me insane and my neck is really starting to bother me from staring at my phone all day. I'm in the interviewing process for something different, so there's a light at the end of the tunnel but it's still pretty dark in here.

  • [SOLVED] Is it a good idea to repaste a 12 year old laptop?
  • The differences in thermal paste brands is pretty minimal. It does dry out over time. What I think is more likely is that your fan's air ducts have become clogged with hair and dust. That's probably the biggest issue with your cooling.

  • Where else on the web does everyone hang out?
  • I'm like 90% YouTube, 2% Lemmy and 8% just googling random stuff. Celebrity facts, historical events, programming problems, stuff I want to buy. YouTube is king though. Kinda hate that I waste so much time on it.

  • Not always but in a lot of instances, when cats do that "but I can see the bottom!" thing, it's because the bowl may be too small and their whiskers hit the sides and they don't like it. Some cats are just assholes though lol
