I've been a paying user of Filen for many years now, and while it's security is top notch their speeds are insanely slow. Like ludicrously comically slow. I've sent links to people to download stuff from my storage there and every single person I have ever shared a link with has said it was so slow that it either timed out or they just gave up. So I basically only use it for the most sensitive and important documents now. I would seriously consider other options for any larger files.

I've had the same experience with KDE connect. I've been using linux since 1998 and still can't seem to get KDE connect to actually work properly. However, on the other hand local send works perfectly every...single...time.. with literally zero effort. I mainly use it to quickly send files back and forth between my PC and phone.

I would classify myself as a person with an unusually tough mental resilience formed from a really messed up childhood. However, I once worked a job so stressful and anxiety inducing that I actually vomited during work hours from anxiety just being there, I even had big clumps of my hair falling out! The stress and anxiety were so alien to me as most things in life compared to my childhood seemed so trivial but there I was vomiting on the floor at work..

The only thing that really helped me get through it was people watching. I would leave work to grab food at the local food court in a nearby shopping center and just watch the ambient crowd while I ate my food.

Hearing, seeing, and simply existing around all those other people living out their lives, chatting, laughing, shopping, eating and generally going on about their day, really helped me to realize that there's way more to life than my stressful job.

It helped to put it into perspective and I vividly remember saying to myself, "See there's lot of life happening outside and people are doing just fine without my job" Something about that helped me immensely and got me through that job. Almost like a feeling of "Everything is going to be ok" would come over me.

Might not help everyone but it really did wonders for me, I hope this helps someone else.

I purchased an RTC stainless steel insulated tumbler in 2015. It's the only cup I ever use and it's still going strong after daily use and still looks brand new. Was 20 bucks (they were clearly undercutting Yeti at the time). It's been a solid purchase, I think the same cup from them now runs 40 bucks on Amazon.

Then again I'm still using the same plastic ninja turtle bowl I got from a box of Cookie Crisp cereal in 1988... So anything will last a very long time with care.

At my local grocery stores the main issue is not the isle size but the stupid amount of random freestanding product displays in front of the shelves like every 10 feet that used to be relegated to only end caps. Not to mention the crap that they have hanging from the isle shelves that almost always get knocked over at the slightest brush, like hanging chip bags, or crappy dollar store junk like garbage disposal deodorizing balls that no one buys and are still in stock from 1933.

Lately it's gotten so bad, I literally have the urge to just knock them over when I walk down the isle because it's so in your face it feels like an assault.

That's a valid crit. I was thinking about the end goal while typing the title, and ended up with that mess. Fixed for future readers.

I actually generally like Asus as well, I pretty much use them exclusively for my motherboards, despite my disappointment with their pricing schemes the past few years. I also have a set of their pro art monitors from a while back still going strong. I will say the recent horror stories of their customer service for pc parts has me a bit concerned but I have been lucky and have never had an issue with their stuff yet. Never tried a video card from them though.

As for tablets in general, reading comics in bed is one of the only things that makes me want to try a tablet again. However, whenever I remember that transformer it just re-ignites my hatred. 😆 One day my rage might subside but until then I'm done with tablets. I've actually considered my next phone to be a folding one to see if that can get the job done for reading comics in bed with the bigger screen.

Good! Motherboard prices have been wildly out of control for a while now. Asus selling 1k motherboards when that same tier of motherboard used to top out at 400 bucks max. Let these greedy fucks have their lunch.

As a fellow Asus Transformer survivor, I feel your pain! I've never actively hated a piece of tech as much and as fast as that pos. Pretty sure I downloaded that same update that basically made it so slow it transformed it into a paperweight. I have never purchased another tablet after that because it turned me off to the whole idea permanently.

Holy shiit that has a name?! Every once in a blue moon, I'll be just sitting minding my own business then BAM! Ass lightning like Thor stabbed me in the ass with a blade that has lightning wrapped around it. Then just as suddenly as it came, it's gone...

I've called it ass lightning for the past few years. At least I know I'm not alone!

Since no one else is doing it... got to be the change you want to see yourself!

I thought the same way but then I went on vacation after a few years using it, and I didn't bring the cpap with me.... Let me tell you, I now bring it with me for any kind of overnight trip. I felt so terrible on my vacation especially right after waking up and my throat hurt so much. I guess in my case it was like how you don't notice your own aging so much because you see yourself everyday, but when you visit a relative after a while they notice a massive diference.
