Came here to link this. Your doing good work.

I live about 45min outside of a major city. I’m also looking for my first career type job. We do have a train that goes into the city which my mother has taken for many years. The only way I’d be ok commuting in would be if I can take the train or a bus. Thinking of spending an extra 10hrs+ driving each week sounds so terrible. That’s 25% more hours each week that I don’t get paid and instead have to pay money. The only other way would be a hybrid schedule with only 2 days commuting per week.

I actually get kind of excited to commute by train, I used to not have a car up in the twin cities and I read so much more having to take public transit. I would totally get a steam deck or ROG ally and finally get to play Hades and Hollow Knight.

There are downsides though. Like if you want to go by the store or a friend’s on the way home you probably can’t. Also if you just miss your train, you might be waiting a long while. Lastly our train here is fairly dangerous and the nearest stop is in one of the most dangerous cities in the US.

I wish biking was easier but where I live there is no way I could get into the city. Plus I used to bike to my first job, about 5 miles, and it sucks to get there and be sweaty. Guess with e bikes now that isn’t as big of a deal.

I recently added Metamucil and lentils to my diet. I also eat oatmeal every day and, like you, binge veggies. The first week was bad and I did nearly shit myself on a run the other day but things seemed to have calmed down now. I am super gassy all the time though. They stinky.

Your not wrong, the led on the arduino is super bright. I think you can reflash to not have it turn on though.

I hadn’t used anything except my account logged in through RiF for 13 years. When I checked the front page as a guest I realized finally just how bad reddit is. All the posts were hot garbage surrounded by ads. I honestly don’t know how people use reddit now.

As many others have said already, I loved signal until they ended sms support. I’m not going to have two separate messaging apps. Especially when 90% of people I know won’t use signal and don’t care about encryption. I just use the Google messaging app, which in my opinion is way better than Samsung’s app. I enjoy rcs support and as I understand it, there is still e2e encryption.

That being said, if I’m doing anything illegal I’m going to force the people to use signal or something safer. As much as I love Google, I’m not going to trust them to keep me out of jail. Nudes would probably be the most sensitive thing I’d trust Google with.

Oh and I dont mind the Facebook messenger app if you use the secure mode. Hate Facebook though, just the messenger is ok.
