I'm struggling, I want to keep informed, but I have realized that seeing this stuff day in and day out while I'm trying to look for a job has really affected my overall mood and I'm afraid that is why I'm not getting callbacks.

[–] newbeni 1 points 1 month ago

I use it everywhere, I have got rewards all over the place, I don't claim the ones I don't know though because I feel like 'Lynn' with the same numer might need it more than me.

So, stupid question, all I have is internet TV, no cable carriers, how do I pull that off with no internet access to the TV? It's late and I'm tired, I could be really dumb right now.

Any tips for finding a remote job as a senior software engineer? in c/[email protected]

How do you find a recruiter though? The one time I had one reach out on LinkedIn, it was a scam.

How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? (self.nostupidquestions)

submitted 7 months ago by newbeni to c/nostupidquestions

I have been reading a lot lately about not wearing outside shoes in the house and it interests me even more because I've been saving to re-carpet my whole house. It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I'm cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I'm assuming it's change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I'm assuming it's change shoes. I guess maybe what I'm asking is how many baskets by how many doors with how many pairs of slip-ons (both indoor and out) do I need?

Why are people so antsy to see others in person? (self.nostupidquestions)

I WFH, every year one of the goals that the rest of the team decides is that it's "so great" to see each other in person. The past few years haven't worked out but one did. I spent hours in a couple of airports, the huge expense for the company, I spent days away from my family, and for what? So you could look me in my same face you would see if we turned cameras on every once in a while? My husband says I'm being weird, but I legitimately want to know, what is the benefit? I hate being there and have to play nice so you can.....look me even closer in the face?

I hope this is the right place to put this..I want to use pi-hole (self.opensource)

I want to use pi-hole and it comes highly recommended to use raspberry pi to cover the house and have an always on capability. I started looking at just starter packages at Amazon and they don't come with a monitor, which it looks like you need. How do I do this? I want a raspberry pi to run pi-hole to protect my house.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the tips and all the different ways to get this up and going , I am officially on my pi-hole journey!

I love the show One Strange Rock, I know Will Smith has pretty much lost his noodle, but c'mon, couldn't there be a different host and still listen to the astronauts? Has @astropettit made it here yet? Are there any other shows that offer a look from the astronauts point of view?

I'm not sure where to post the code, I don't want to make anyone irritated, but I need legit help with my SQL. Is this the right place? If not, what is the right community?
