I got stuck in a phone tree and was so frustrated I just screamed give me a fucking rep. And it actually did.

Stop

Clay infused raw egg white mousse, shaved tree bark on a filters mud reduction and a linoleum chew to finish

Use brioche, it holds up better in the custard…

Real maple syrup. Accept no substitutes.

A dash of nutmeg.

Generally speaking, yes. Verify that your current provider supports it.

Having said that, your provider may offer you a deal. Of course ymmv

Gmail app because it is better with Gmail than mail.app

And google calendar because our house runs on our shared calendars.

But none of the others as Safari is fine for any other web stuff. And in try to avoid other crap as much as possible.

And now that Passwords does MFA there’s no reason for Authenticator

It depends… you say several times “I”. So yeah if it is just you, 55 is likely fine.

If you are the only one, watching something, then yeah likely you’ll be fine

Good points from other users.

You’re kinda asking the wrong question.

Where to start writing? Wherever you are when you write.

Where to publish? Seems to be what you’re looking for—

You’re likely an unknown author. So you are going to have to figure it out yourself In terms of marketing

Do you just want your stuff out there? You can put it almost anywhere

Do you want people to find you? Then you’ll need to market yourself (and yes I just threw up a little writing that)

It will be up to you to get people to find and read your stuff , sorry but yeah you mostly have to market yourself

So yeah put your page in there when you post your content here, and blue sky, and everywhere. Make a podcast of you reading your stuff, make it easy to share so new people can discover you.

Self published books and print on demand— worked for Andy Weir (the Martian) and Hugh Howey (Silo) and 50 shades of gray

Good luck

This hurts. I feel called out

You don’t look human ??

You are a beautiful human being

No I don’t know you, I don’t need to.

Race is a construct, how you identify? As a country-ian.

American, German… etc.

Be a hoopy frood.

Kde. I’d love to be able to give some erudite examples of why.

Alas, the default is clean and works for me. It stays out of the way.

I use MacOS at home as I have to support the fam.

Work is windows despite my best efforts to move to Linux, any flavor…

My laptop has macOS and Ubuntu and fedora and win11 (I have a vm problem and I enjoy it)

I wish I could use Fedora full time. I’m really open to whatever gets the work done. I just prefer software were open.

Well son, because of thins like the Hayes Code, mom and I can’t share a bed. You know, …because the children…

There have been some good responses…

I’ll add my poor one.

Adventurous people, wanting to be away from others would also weigh in.

As above no one moved to Norway from the Fertile Crescent.

People had to figure out clothing and fishing and hunting and farming then how all those things we different as they move further north. James Burke, in Connections points out how the plow changed. In light sandy soils a stick works, but in heavy wet clay you need heavy curved iron plows.

So. Why? Because Bob smells, and never cleans up. We’re outta here — but over 10000 years give or take.

No. Border Collies LOVE to work. I’ve had two who were amazing. They were great at learning stuff.

So yes go train him, work his fluffy butt off.

My dog can’t feed herself. My family seems to like having me around.

Get off of social media. Other than here I really keep my news to computer stuff that interests me

Oh hell yeah!

Neat thank you!!

And I learned a new word

Zeitgebers are external cues, such as light, that synchronize the circadian clock in organisms with the Earth’s day-night cycles.

Mammals have to breathe, so they are surfacing from time to time… so roughly they’ll know day from night.

Tides are mostly noticeable near land.

So you have deep sea creatures away from shore. They mostly won’t care about day and night as there’s no difference, with light not penetrating more that about 200 feet.

So below 200 feet, and away from shore you mostly can’t. But also it would not matter as there’s no difference

But if you were a human, in a submarine or a diving vessel where you needed to know, a clock or radio… would be about the options

Short version— we don’t know.

Longer version— it is likely, doge is looking to make cuts, and while it would be insanely unpopular, it could be on the table.

The treasury secretary wants to reduce the deficit to 3% of gdp but also to cut taxes… so cuts to social programs are possible (likely)

So while we can say we don’t know for sure, it is highly likely.

Good point. During my extensive research of one person, I’ve noticed that this year my SAD seems less crushing since taking 1000 vit D each day.

So yeah. Good place to start
