I was lucky that my work software had a Linux version, so since 2017 was able to use Linux all day. Recently I needed Windows for a software. It is hell dealing with Windows interface again (it has a terrible workflow), and constant push of nonsense AI in apps, etc

Hawaii. Beautiful scenery, culture, food. Florida has a beach yes , but also ugly cities and some terrible. floridians

I Bussed tables a long time ago. Plate stacking was helpful if the patron did it as plates only, but some patrons try handing you a stack of plates that have silverware sandwiched in between and it makes it precarious

Lots of software can manipulate PDF. Open PDF in libredraw change pages,print as PDF or export as PDF. A system that skims content is purposely going to bypass any signed restriction.

Edit: Here’s how to bypass restriction in Paperless OCR.

The parameter PAPERLESS_OCR_USER_ARGS: ‘{“invalidate_digital_signatures”: true}’ in the context of Paperless-ngx and OCRmyPDF allows OCR processing of PDF documents that have been digitally signed by intentionally invalidating those signatures. In its standard configuration, OCRmyPDF does not process documents with digital signatures so as not to compromise their integrity. Setting this parameter to true allows OCR on such documents

This is my favorite reading of it. Gives me goosebumps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESWzPhZWYeI

“Silence deafens everything.” At first it seems counterintuitive, but being silent can “deafen” those around you (or society) to an issue or problem.

And my friends dad commented on his wanderlust need : “It doesn’t matter where you travel to, you will never get away from yourself”

Income is income. Crypto is traceable, cash is not. Not sure how people think crypto is anonymous, there is a literal ledger of transactions

Both my parents were longtime smokers, my dad quit cold Turkey after 25 years. My mum quit cold turkey after about 45. They both seemed fine with it, maybe some nicorette gum at first but they dropped that quickly. With my dad having 20 years smoke free ahead of my mom, his health is way better. He is active. My mom needed some heartwork done.

Nope, my experience has been mostly positive.

Doctor is amazing, and when my biopsy came back negative, he said It says it is not cancer been I think it is wrong, we will reorder the same biopsy. He was right.

Got pulled over for doing a Uturn to help a stray animal. Cop reviewsed my driving record and recognized I had zero infractions, so gave me the website link to research Uturn rules in an Industrial zone rather than a ticket.

Had some great teachers. One was a great mentor and we stayed in touch with over the years. One teacher volunteered to stay after school when admin said our Dungeons and Dragons club had to have a staff member involved.

Everyone’s experience may differ

Go by her lead. She will tell you what she wants if she wants it, and you guys have open communication. Don’t over think sex, and sex performance

Its not you/your country. The cost of living has vastly outpaced wages almost everywhere.

I feel bad for this generation and the struggles faced.

There are apps like Fiver where you can connect with people (around the world) needing your skills for short stints. Maybe try that until you find something permanent.

I find a little bit of work pressure keeps me in a higher state of awareness/interest. Day goes by much quicker too.

Dude why are you throwing away my favorite chocolate bar?

Unless the contract you signed requires an exit interview, you aren’t required to do an exit interview

I got introduced to the DZ ones by a dutch friend. At first it was wow OK, not what I expected from liquorice, but the grow on you.

We have a 2010 laptop that was useless with Windows. Runs NixOS now. Wife uses it for youtube, zoom calls, email etc. It is super responsive.

It is definetly an acquired taste

My aunt used to get the jello concentrate cubes. They were like intense jelly candy.

(For anyone who has not heard of them: they were in a box, like segmented chocolate bar. But super concentrated jello base. You would tear off 2-3 cubes and add hot water, then let it set. Or as a kid tear off a cube and munch on it.)
