Good thing i don't have an account on there. I do have a facebook account and checked to see if i
I was set follow their pages and Im not. Might have something to so with not following any pages or even really logging in but a fee times a year when my wife pesters about checking my notifications or certain posts from family members
I display my Star Wars sets, but I have two of the Pirates of the Caribbean ships still packed in ziplock nags and sone others. Need to get i to the bin at mynparents and grab my original XWing, Snowspeeder, and Landspeeder sets. Might have more, i dont remember lol
My (41m) parents get me a good sized set, usually I’ll pick out a few and they’ll pick one. This year i got the Ghost and Phantom Star Wars Rebels set. Had to buy a new bookcase to make room on then one I display my sets on. Now if only they wouldn’t get dusty.
“Oh hey! your insurance covers up to 40 visits for physical therapy for your 4yo let’s get him in as much as we can before the end of the year and then spread the schedule out for 2025.”
Me right before Christmas getting a $2000 bill for October visits and realizing that “covers” does not mean “pays for”.
There will be another $2000 bill for November after the deductible caps out and then the 80% coverage kicks in for December.
Billing app for the healthcare network wanted $200 and would go down to $50/month. I can do $20 and basically use what remains of what my employer contributes to the HSA.
All I know is that if IDR is killed off, I’ll have to go into bankruptcy as i don't have enough for groceries for my family as is. I know the likelihood of getting the stident debt is next to impossible, but i might be able to afford that payment if my cc debt is killed off ($40k) but would still have mortgage, car payment, roof loan payment, and my private student loans as well. I’m just pretty much tapped out. Probably worth more dead than alive, though I’m the bread winner.
Right? Might as well at that point but then you’re dropping even more money in on a 11+ year old vehicle with all that wear and tear.
We’re already having fun where the front passenger window doesn't like to roll down from the front passenger side switch. Just haven't done the troubleshooting to see if it is the switches, wiring or motor thats at fault. Well I don’t think the back windows will go down from their switches either. Almost like child lock got turned on and stuck even thought its off.
Thought I heard on one if the news segments that there are unisex bathrooms around the building/campus, but I wonder how accessible they would be if they were in session and had a need.
While I don’t have a Steamdeck or similar, I made myself a relatively portable Mac Mini setup with a wireless mouse and keyboard and a usb-c portable monitor.
The keychron has mac/win mode and came with a few extra keycaps for windows/mac use if it matters. Can be used over bluetooth or by cable. That one has slim profile keycaps. I really enjoy using it. I’ve seen a similar sized keyboard somewhere on amazon that also folds in half longwise to take up less space. Will probably grab one to play with.
The portable one was one I took a chance on Temu. 15” 144hz OLED that I snagged for cheap. Can be powered just on the usbc cable but also had mini hdmi and an extra usbc port. Also has a micro usb port for power if needed too.
The mouse I’ve had forever and is on the smaller side. If I’m feeling for a bigger mouse and plan ahead I also have a MX Master3 for work and a G502 Hero that I normally use at my desktop.
Yeah most of my family are in the southeast portion of my state and I know most, if not all voted for Trump. While there’s a good degree of separation (its a 6-8 hour drive to visit with kiddos in tow) we were all much closer when I was young and its difficult to wrangle with that.
I know for Thanksgiving some of the family comes up to visit and thankfully we never have politics come up. So no crazy uncle ranting and raving or anything like that. But with my dad just having a transplant recently and a lot of them being anti-vaxx, my parent haven't been able to go visit their siblings and cousins. Not sure if anyone will be able to come up thanks to their views.
Yeah, I’m not part of any of the demographics that are gonna get hit hard, except for the financial bits, that I’ll probably be screwed on since I’m not making 6+ figures, though I am over the median income in my area.
But just thinking and remembering how chaotic the first term was, and realizing that he’s gonna have sycophants and a freaking playbook, I had to take the day off.
I was one of those people that was thinking at how great all those states were in enshrining abortion access in their state constitutions, but then frickin voting for the people that will very likely enact a national ban. Then remembering that my wife and i are trying for a girl and that if the ban happens during that she could end up like the other stories of women (already mothers or looking forward to being one) dying from infections and/or sepsis because docs wouldn’t treat them. We’ve already gone through losing a pregnancy, she bled for a week and a half, but luckily nothing extra needed done. Who knows what could happen we go through that again.
Then these folks are also typically against renewables, the area i work in. My team is fighting for extra help and our company has benefited and expanded greatly thanks to the IRA. Red team thinks solar/wind = green new deal = IRA = BAD so Im anticipating that affecting many aspects of my workplace. Of course our CEO sent out a letter stating they are “looking forward” to working with Trump and team…….right.
When I got back to work my lead was asking me how i was doing, he pretty much pooh pooh’d my concerns away saying its not gonna be that bad and people were making mountains out of mole hills pretty much. This dude is ex-military. Trumps comments alone on folks that served should have been enough alone to discredit him. Guess what else is probably gonna get hit hard? The VA that my lead uses. He’s also on disability and pretty much gets what i make a month alone on top of his salary. Very much a Joe Rogan/Ticker Carlson “just asking questions” type.
All I can think is that bo matter the general subject, its gonna get very much worse for the next 4+ years. And hopefully I’ll still have my wife around if we continue trying.
Well thats rude. I’ll have to check the wife's account.

TBF so far I’m reading they haven’t even begun the “peaceful transfer” due to the lack of signing paperwork.
Boooooo….. well i don’t think those are too expensive. Maybe grab one off eBay and pray lol

Yeaaaah hopefully my wifes 2013 keeps up till my car is paid off. Just replaced my 2008 with a 2021.
Thought i heard to replace the chain they have to rip out the engine to replace that….

Seeing this reminds me that i should put rockbox on my non-modded 80GB Classic.
Michael Jordan?
Ricky Bobby? Lol
Damn that thumbnail makes him look like the most evil, vile person ever.
Corn! Wait, no, still hate it.
