The specific thing you spend the most time doing instead of the actual job you're being paid to do is your new profession. What's your new job title?
  • I get the spirit here but not sure I agree that it MUST be true mathematically.

    A full time job is 32+ hours a week. Even if I use the American 40, that's still only 23% of the week not counting vacation or holiday.

    Most people don't get more then 8 hours off sleep a night. That's 1/3 the day. 43% of the week for everything else.

    That's enough time for you to do something more than sleep or work. Then count in time for vacation and holiday and if you don't sleep eight hours every night. And if you do stuff at work that isn't necessarily in your job title.

    Due to my meds I can only sleep 4-5 hours a night.

    Shower thoughts are wasting water.
  • My city is nestled between a rain forrest and lots of natural springs. If we put our water through the normal cleaning process it would come out dirtier then it went it. We also have a few damned lakes we are having to release water from because we got so much damned rain this past winter.

    We have a flat rate we pay for water, sewage, recycling, and garbage pickup and are only charged more if we use a certain amount of water. Mostly just people who water their yard or have a personal pool have to pay the higher fee.

    The Vitamin
  • I kept having to change meds because different ones didn't work. One doc got me genetic testing which cost me about $15.

    The Vitamin
  • It was folic acid for me. Turns out me and my family don't get the full affect of vitamins or medicines. After some genetic testing we are all taking it and are all feeling a lot better and our meds are actually working. It's nuts how simple it was to turn us all around.

    You Can Play All Of Assassin's Creed Shadows Offline, But You Need A Connection To Install It
  • Most (free) software you can download an installer to a file then copy that file onto another machine. Which means being able to install without an Internet connection. I work with a bunch of expensive software, and while this is still true, if you are offline you have to fetch an activation code. I have discs for several assassin's creed. I don't remember if they needed Internet access to activate or not...

    How did you lose weight?
  • I stopped drinking alcohol and soda and drastically cut down my milkshake consumption. I've lost 50 pounds in the past year and still going down.

  • I would very much like to move from Google and Microsoft and other proprietary, non privacy services.

    I have spent hundreds of $ and thousands of hours trying to setup various different services on various different platforms and every single one of them has been difficult, annoying, frustrating, and ultimately fails.

    I have concluded I am just not the guy to do this as I am Windows CAD guy and have no idea what I am doing with networking, Linux or CLI. 90% of the words and terms in tutorials are greek to me.

    I am looking for notes (Joplin), Google Drive replacement (NextCloud?), and email (??) on a cloud server. And then video streaming (plex or jellyfin + *arr?) and photo management (immich?) on my local machines.

    Let me know if you are interested or know of somewhere better to post this.
