• 2 min rule, if you notice something and it takes less then 2 min; do it now
• if you rent, pretty much all of the appliances are your landlords problem
• Keep inside temp at least 60F 15C to prevent pipes from freezing/bursting. Disconnect hoses in winter. Sprinklers need to be flushed
• your water heater has a dial on it for more/less heat
• be sure to air the place out every once in a while
• bug spray is well worth the money
• learn to use molly bolts / plaster
• pay for tradesmen, but water line valves and breakers should be common knowledge
• be sure to replace your air filter, it can cause blocking. Don’t close too many vents

Insurance IS the third party. From an idealist perspective, insurance is supposed to be negotiating rates with doctors (independent contractors) to try to set a baseline for services and negotiate on your behalf to make sure a doctor isn’t charging 10k to apply a bandage.

Eventually insurance companies found out they were holding both the patient approval and writing the policy and started lobbying until they became monster they are today. Now both patients and doctors hate they have embedded themselves in the process siphoning money.

💯 It was never hard, you just didn’t know the rhythm yet. Any game that is too lazy to figure out scaling just gets relabeled as a souls game. You’ll get the same experience playing most games without equipment.

I’ve never seen a good answer to this in accessibility guides, would you mind making a recommendation? Is there any preferred alt text for something like:

• “clarification image with an arrow pointing at object”
• “Picture of a butt selfie, it’s completely black”
• “Picture of a table with nothing on it”
• “example of lens flare shown from camera”
• “N/A” dangerous

Sometimes an image is clearly only useful as a visual aid, I feel like “” (exluding it) makes people feel like they are missing the joke. But given it’s an accessibility tool; unneeded details may waste your time.

More like buyers remorse…

After you get your replacement lens, you can also try putting a drop of resin and wiping it away. In theory the resin should fill the crack with a transparent material and the heal the blemish. Then you “buff it” by removing excess liquid before it cures. But as others mentioned there is coating and more specifically glass treatment that may cause issues, but that’s the process for auto class repair (they usually drill out a hole around it first to prevent further spreading but that sounds worse here). Those kits can be pretty cheap

I actually think this backfires on most of you. Copyright law makes everything public domain after a period of time, Johnny Fires kids will be able to trade for all the first professionals in the world. But Life +70 years after currency is invented, anyone can print cash and trade falls apart and services and materials are the only thing if value. Copyright laws broken :shrug:

Fellow 90s kid, my parents were exactly the same. Religious background, fox news constantly, I once didn’t text back within 2 hours and had a neighbor contacted via Facebook knocking on my door in my 30s (to be fair I work on call so it’s atypical). I got lectured at 18 for buying an m rated game in front of them… Police report was a bit much; but I you aren’t alone.

Side note I would recommend this nostalgic song: high fives - 90s kid anthem by Dr awkward

First off, it’s important to understand Responsive Design and why you shouldn’t be writing your own css these days as a newbie. Bootstrap is a public css doc with a lot of those problems pre-solved, so you might want to look up some of their tooling.

As far as a website: you’ll need a domain name, you can get some for free, but they usually have short renewals otherwise this is unavoidable.

You can pay for “shared hosting” at any of the major vendors like blue host or GoDaddy and get apache or aspx file hosting for like you said $X0/year.

You can use an s3 static website for ~free. Creating a DNS hosted zone is $.50. but you can create an s3 bucket (think flash drive in the cloud) store a threshold of free documents, and publish them as a website all within the free tier of AWS. This has some technical background and AWS can get expensive of you make mistakes (although this shouldn’t scale much unless you upload a thousands ton of files repeatedly)

Alternatively you can use GitHub pages . Git is a tool used by developers to share and edit code, they let you publish free HTML as well, but requires learning git or figuring out a tool with a UI like source tree. I don’t think you can use custom domains with this though.

Although if you have any interest in tech, you can also create a free nginx docker container through a lot of services like ecs, but you can also self host in a “sandbox”. Docker creates a mini virtual machine with all of the code required to run self contained. Nginx let’s you create HTML docker containers by mounting a directory. ~ docker start nginx /website/directory And it just runs self contained.

Dogs do what their owners do, if the owners a choncc, their dogs a choncc. Not to mention that dogs usually have the same food habits their owners do (open bowl, larger servings, sharing unhealthy people food)

This is a complicated problem but the answer is likely ~socialism. The scenario you presenting is fix forward and try to retain the current economic status quo, which is imbalanced and rewards power and exploitation. We really should be living in a world where basic needs are guaranteed for everyone by a regulated market with multiple stakeholders keeping the process honest. Giving a single entity power generally doesn’t last longer than a generation or two.

My rhcsa expired and I only have experience beyond that. Your task right now is to find a job and the easiest way to do that is to leverage your network. If you don’t have a network, you need to prove that you can commit to a long term plan and learn a skill. Most people do that with degrees. Unfortunately a lot of people have degrees and technology is getting more competitive. That’s where you see school competitions and certifications. If you don’t want to do that, you’ll need to be able to speak competently to the role.

Unfortunately right now I do not recommend platform/devops/sre for anyone breaking into the field. If I create an application today, it’s server less or bring your own dockerfile on a provided machine image. So what are you administrating? Legacy shops will be around for decades, but the future here is layered architecture not os tasks.

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned this is essentially the plot of fallout. The billionaires will solve climate change by culling the poor “destroying the world”.
