I like this but would rather see a multi country coordinated oceanic study. We're all in this together.

I've never used Boost before and it's auto downloaded today. I'm so happy to try it. Looks great so far.

I've been with Namecheap so so many years. Highly recommended.

I don't think so. We had that "hurricane" in Calif that was mostly in Arizona. I have multiple friends there and I know the temps dropped that time a couple weeks ago. So it may have been 54 days this year, but not consecutive.

I also had a career in tech. I'm a woman. I've been stepped on, harassed, disrespected. I'm just a country girl who tried to fit in the big city. And I did for awhile. But then all the layoffs, and the last company I was at just keeled over from insufficient funding, while the ceos had a ton of money and we had all these luncheons and outside training weekends. So wasteful. Disillusioned, I didn't want to go back.

I also wanted a farm. If you're young and strong still, do it. I'm 60 now. We were unable to obtain that farm. I guess it was meant to be. I still hope for a super mini something - some chickens and a coupla goats or a mini cow or something. You get tired after 60 and try to downsize and reduce what you do to just what's important.

Regarding no electricity etc - be realistic and balanced. Don't make it hard on yourself. Go get your farm in the country, but do yourself and family a favor and have a proper bathroom, running water and electricity with internet. Nobody really likes pooping in those compost toilets or having to hand pump a well for water or garden ๐Ÿ˜€ and while you may think it's okay if you're strong and young believe me in 20 years which goes by fast you'll be wanting decent plumbing and electric and will likely be grateful for some internet.

I have so many. Would you like some? ๐Ÿ˜€ Most of them I'll never read again and I'd love to see them go to a good appreciative home. I've collected them since I was a child, since Star Trek books started coming out. I may have some of the late 60's books but I definitely have a bunch from the 70's. I don't have all the collections, just random ones I was interested in getting. I stopped buying when I went to college. Then when DS9 came out, I started reading them again after the series finished. I need to see if there are more of the story continuation I don't have. I would love to read those.

One I think about from time to time wasn't a novel. It was memoirs about the conventions. I wanted to go to one desperately but I was just a kid. I never told my folks - they'd never take me to something like that. I always dreamed of one coming to my hometown. Then I went to school, and career, got married and had kids. My daughter liked Voyager. We lived in a major city locale and I took her to some conventions.

Then the unbelievable happened. A ST convention came to my hick hometown. My childhood dream come true - even though I no longer lived there. We went home, and met James Doohan, Michelle Nichols, and George Takei, and another actress (the one on the episode where they age rapidly, and she died). I never knew until I got older, she was on several Westerns and I wish I could have talked with her about those! She's passed now.

Anyway that's the only convention I ever think about, even though we attended a good many. That one in my boonies hometown was very special.

I just went now and read a lengthy article about it. This article from LA Times explains it all.

KeePass for me for the same reason.

I'm on today but was unable to get on many times. It says to change instances, but with no clue how to easily do that. I could not figure it out - so I just left it do its downtime thing until I could return.

Also, a lot of the posts are weird. Political. I don't want to see that stuff and have blocked what I can but I'm still seeing the stuff!

When I go to specific forum topics I do want to read, there just aren't many posts.

When I end up on the front page, some days it's the same stuff I read hours before.

Some things need to change to make it more attractive to hang out here. Even us nerdy types are finding other places.

Not complaints. Just my observations that perhaps someone can look at as a point to make some changes

I do it all the time. I don't know when I started doing it. But it became really obvious after I stopped getting cable. Cut the cable = $100 a month saved = $1200 a year! = $3600 after 3 years Omigosh I've saved at least $10k now since I cut cable.

Iake.my own almond milk. I save the part left behind after squeezing out the liquid. Lay it out on a tray and let it dry, send it through a blender till fine. Free almond flour! I add it to my pancake mixes and baked goods for extra protein and so I don't use so much regular flour (or pancake mix).

If you put a gritty cleaner in water, even diluted it will leave a gritty film when dried. Then you need to rinse just with water anyway.
