Let's not discount the fact that the landlord is friends with a guy who is a domestic abuser and is in possession of a gun he shouldn't have.

So it sounds like the landlord is already friends with a cop.

Joking (not joking?) aside. These sound like the kind of people who will make your life hell for a very long time, weather or not the law is on your side.

Get out.

Wife and I bought an apartment in April 2018, great deal, great rates.

The we had a kid in 2023.

We have a second coming in 2025

We need to buy a house, and have no idea how the fuck we are going to make it happen. We're not even that bad off, we both do pretty damn well, but we are about to be facing $4k/month in childcare, and even with the huge pile of down payment money we have saved, we wouldn't be able to afford the mortgage.

We still own our apartment though, which is better than renting. I keep telling myself "We will figure it out, people have done more with less", but man... If this was like 5 or 6 years ago we would have been living large.

I always look at things like these and are tempted to buy them. There is so much cool audio gear out there that I feel like could "up my game", but then I realize I have no game and already own a bunch of fun production gear that collects dust because I don't have the time or energy to make music anymore.

I considered selling some of my stuff, but want to hang on to it just in case any of my kids pick up the hobby and all my stuff is cool and "retro" at that point. Shit it is almost already cool and retro - Akai MPC1000, Korg Electribe SX ESX1, Korg KP3, Dsi MoPho, a couple other bits and bobs.

But yeah, always tempted to buy cool new awesome shit that I would never use.

Honestly wouldn't even be that difficult to build. Windows is just a GUI for Powershell anyway.

I'm glad it never came to an ultimatum for me, but at one point in my life it was like

1.Work

2.Sleep

3.Social Life

4.World of Warcraft

Pick 3.

I chose work, social life, and sleep. Things turned out well for me as opposed to some friends who went deep into WoW. These dudes would literally show up to get-togethers with their gaming laptop because it was raid night. Or even worse, miss out on sleep or call out of work so they could raid.

Video games can be a fun and healthy hobby, and shit they still are to me, but some things need to take priority.

It hooks up to the smoothie blender.

Damn... Now I want new gear.

Also "I ride almost exclusively in the midwest US, so hard, rough, icy conditions that most people wouldn't consider snowboarding in are the every day" - I'm in the northeast, so I am very familiar with ice boarding, so I'm sold.

Damn... I still snowboard in my gear that is over 20 years old. Has it really changed that much? I only go a few times a year so I never wanted to spend the money on new stuff. Lift tickets already cost an arm and a leg.

I was pretty confused by redhats at first. I was like "Hey man, I thought people liked Linux around here"

Is there a simple way to find out if your Information was in this leak, and what information it is? I use haveibeenpwned for leaks linked to my email address, but from I read in this article, it's not linked to my email address.

So how do I found out if my data was leaked without paying for a credit monitoring service?

Republicons are upset that people are calling them weird, and then continue to do the weirdest fucking shit.

There's a rumble in the Bronx

There's big trouble in little China

The spice must flow

And if I understand correctly, they are safer because there is less chance of parts touching inside. I don't know the correct t terminology, but one of the big problems with current li-ion batteries is that if they get physically damaged, parts inside can touch, which basically starts a short/chain reaction that turns into a dangerous thermal runaway.

Also if I remember correctly the guy that invented li-ion invented some kind of solid state battery with glass right before he died. I'm assuming this technology stems from that.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. Knowledge is power.

Oh my fucking god. Thank you!

Yup. As much as I hate the GOP and Trump, this is a pretty big Occam's razor moment.

No no no. White cows make milk. Brown cows make chocolate milk.

Because... Where was it... scrolls up a few posts

Ah here it is.

I'm in my late 30's in the NYC area. What my wife and I consider a "vacation" is going to Philly and staying in a hotel with a pool, and just putzing around a different city for the weekend.

The idea of taking a week+ off from work and flying somewhere is a foreign concept to me.

There have been a couple of times that we have gone to states far away to stay with family/friends, but it's usually for like a long weekend.

Sipping on some whiskey while playing Stray on my Steam Deck and watching the Copa America.

Yeah that one was weird. Like the dude was always singing about being horrifically depressed, and then when he hung himself it was like surprised Pikachu face
