Onions make me ill in quantity so, uh, yeah.
The only reason my partner and i could is we lucked out and bought our house at the bottom of the housing market during COVID. Interest rates hit the lowest point just as we began financing but people hadn't quite started buying yet so prices had bottomed out. It "appreciated" by over 50% within two years, like fucking magic.
If we had waited until now, we could not afford to buy our two bedroom, one bath, <1000 square foot, old-as-fuck, not fancy house. The monthly payment would be almost 2.5x higher and the FHA minimum down payment nearly killed us already at the lower price.
My partner and I both have advanced degrees and now make over $200k a year (disclaimer: we live in one of the top 5 highest cost of living areas in the US). We still don't make enough to adopt kids. The market, economy, and country in general are just super fucked.
I miss the old days, when the opposite seemed true about every other major release, though the early bars were low so that was straight progress for 1.0 through 95.
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
I find the new interfaces to be less user friendly. I'm not a child: I don't want my BIOS to look like a fucking sports car. My bed, sure, but not BIOS.
I'm sorry for being emotionally caring and caring about the durability of your own bedroom.
My thoughts exactly. I can't wait to see the controlled opposition "accidentally" fumble a guaranteed win.
I assume the spiders would have died, and now you have delicious, brined cooking bananas!
Seriously! BoF 1-3 with modern graphics and controls would be great .
I've having a week and this is exactly what I needed. I'm now getting all my news from BBC Pidgin.
English headline: Trump wants to pause migration from 'third-world countries'
Pidgin headline: Who be di 'third world countries' Trump say im go permanently pause dia migration to US?
excel as an relational database
That reminds me of a story. I used to do IT consulting, years ago. One client was running their 5 person real estate office off a low quality, consumer grade, box store HP desktop repurposed as a server. All collaboration was through their U drive, plus every profile had their desktop folder redirected there.
The complaint was the classic "everything is slow", which turned out to be "opening my spreadsheet takes 10 minutes then it's slow". Yeah, because that poor little "server" had a single 100 Mb jack and the owner had a 1.5 GB excel spreadsheet project where he was trying to build a relational database and property valuation tool. Six fucking heavily cross referenced tabs, some with thousands of entries. He was so proud when I asked him to explain what was going on there. He fired me when I couldn't fix his issue without massive changes to either his excel abomination or hardware.
I have an unhealthy love for corn. Ever try chicha morada?
