When I was living in a car I’d wardrive nightly to find Wifi. This was before Wifi was commonly available in public spaces, and household routers often used a default password or no password at all. I’d use it to pirate games and movies to keep myself entertained.

Later I moved into a 4 plex apartment and convinced the neighbors to share one Internet connection. We ran ethernet through walls and across the roof and split the bill.

You really shouldn’t use your debit card for anything other than withdrawing money at an ATM. Credit cards are safer plus you get rewards.

I’m on vacation but it’s gonna storm every day. Luckily I just picked up a retro game I’ve been wanting to play, so that should keep me entertained.

I finally got a Plex client up and running on a raspberry pi for my CRT TV. So now I can watch all of my old movies and shows without swapping out a DVD when I’m comfy.

VR Chat two days a week, Horizon three days a week, Resonite one day a week. It’s a slightly different crowd between the platforms with some overlap. We play Walkabout Mini Golf once a month, too.

Yep! They were a godsend in the first two weeks. I’ve also been going to AA meetings in VR.

Alcohol, but I’m 53 days sober

Well, pumpkins, looks like it’s the age-old dilemma. Style… or substance.

Outside of work I can probably deep focus for 1 to 2 hours per day. Working a full-time job and taking care of a home is simply too exhausting for me to focus longer than that.

I do want to caution that hobbies and passions shouldn’t make you feel rundown. It’s great to have a goal, but make sure you’re taking care of yourself and having fun along the way.

To be clear, I’m implying that you don’t know what you’re talking about and you are giving nonsense advice.

I’ve been pirating for decades and never gave af how much I download in a day. Several hundred gigs on a weekend isn’t unusual. Never got an ISP letter or had any issues, because I use private trackers.

I gave up in the first episode when a pair of cops drew their firearms, and the one said to the other “safeties off”. And the other cop just brushes the slide release because he was holding a Glock, which famously does not have a safety. I just couldn’t take it seriously after that.

Take a vacation and see if that improves things. If so, burnout. If not, look for other reasons that you’re lacking motivation.

Sounds like your emails are too long. Trim it to the minimum amount of words to get your point across and be professional, and put all questions in a numbered list.

Gotta respect her hustle.

My dog would love this trail

Is the 21 year old fiance actually into him or is it a sex slavery / coercion situation?

Fuck it, UDP all the way. Who cares if the data actually arrives?

No, I heat it up. It tastes better and has a better texture when heated.

In my state you get a CCW just by walking into the courthouse, no classes needed, so I’m not sure how it works elsewhere.
