Does web browsing count as a “basic” task these days?

Mine tried a bunch of different pumps but none would fix her medical issue. She tried SO hard and long for naught.

My wife tried desperately with both of our kids. There’s no way she could due to malformed glands. Multiple specialists confirmed that we had no choice but to feed formula almost exclusively. To this day she has guilt over something that she had no control over.

The formula shortage was one of the scariest parts of my entire life. Some babies don’t take well to certain formulas, and we had to switch them up a couple times, which meant lots of infants with upset stomachs. Nobody got any sleep for months until the FDA started allowing foreign formula into the country. Thankfully we are past formula and onto real food. I remember going to multiple stores where they were all out of the formula that my premature son could eat and the feeling of utter desperation.

I won’t even click on Twitter links, let alone actively visit. You should do the same.

Hugely so. SO MANY HOURS of PacMan, Space invaders, Missile command Joust, Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers, and a lot more. I still have one (not my original) that functioned about 5 years ago when I last dug it out.

I saved up a lot my lawn-mowing dollars to buy an Atari 2600.

Rip your inbox…

This is like those horrible choice “would you rather” questions. Eat the hot dog, or drink the alcohol.

I got on a plane a few weeks ago and realized that I didn’t have headphones. I would have really liked something to read. AA does offer 20 free minutes of WiFi so I opened a bunch of tabs in my browser, but a skymall would ah e been read for sure.

A close friend was raised in the Carolinas. They were taught that the civil war was about “states rights”. It wasn’t until they were an adult that they did their own looking into what “rights” the southern states were fighting for. It really opened my eyes to how the blinders have been put on so many people. I’m 100% sure that I have my own set, but it’s important to remember, and engage these people when you have an opportunity.

It’s probably the Vogon’s fault. The mice are sure to be displeased.

Easier and cheaper to get a second screen.

A professional video switcher will do this but it’s way more with “DVE” but you’re probably looking at more cost than another TV.

Yes. Just being in better shape helped my confidence a lot. I went sort of all-in on getting into shape and worked out fairly religiously for a while. It SUCKED at first but once it became routine it got a lot easier. I did all sorts of exercise, weights, cardio, etc…. One side benefit is that I didn’t get sick (a cold or anything!) the entire time I was working out like crazy. My life circumstances changed a couple years ago making that much time a practical impossibility, but even a few years on, I’m still down a bunch of weight which helps!

I’ve owned 3 or 4 coffeemakers and every single one of them has had a heating element below the carafe. My current machine even has a setting for how many hours it stays on after brewing. The problem with reheating coffee this way is that it takes a good 15 minutes to actually get hot again whereas my microwave takes 60 seconds.

The fact that you get to loot and pillage notwithstanding.

I found that Huel didn’t keep me as full as Soylent.
