Just build a lower bridge first. Duh.

Boutique teas are really low margins so I wouldn't expect that from normal stores.

Can't expect many stores to stock such expensive tea without any clientele.

Oh man.

I bought some Amber Muscatel Oolong Tea from Taiwan.

It's about $50 per 10g. Insanely expensive and I haven't even tried it yet. I'm trying to find a specific tea I've wanted to get ever since I've last tasted it back 10 years ago. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

I have gotten more interaction with pixelfed than with Instagram.

I have more followers in 1 year on pixelfed than 4 years on Instagram.

About 60% of my followers are only fans bots and the other 30% are people I know. The last 10% are organic followers who like my photos. I don't do short form videos so I don't have any lasting engagement.

I have advertised my pixelfed I think twice on the fediverse. But not any more than that.

If you want to have the community, I've heard that flickr is probably the best. Many people use it and it's photography focused.

Instagram is taken over by short form videos. If you're not doing that or making really really good photos in unique areas, then you'll max out at 2-3 hundred followers.

Soda and juice is too sweet for me.

A lot of music in public spaces is too loud.

No longer understanding slang is normal.

There's not enough hours (days) to decompress after a work day.

With my wife, definitely patience. The more patience you give the more you receive (if they're a good partner).

Do you mean IRL? The only thing that IRW brings up is Islamic Relief Worldwide

But laptop is usually one word. I don't think I've ever seen it as lap top.

Can you give is a lot more info.

Such as is it a framework 13? 12? 16?

Are you located in an area that framework ships to?

What do you consider a normal sized screen?

What do you consider a laptop sized screen?

Can you try to avoid shorthand to help people understand what you're talking about?

You can just sell it and get something you actually want. Retrofitting a gift seems more work than it's worth.

Since OP wanted to focus their responses to defending their strange short hand acronyms over actually providing us information. I'm out. Not worth my time.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Thanks. Makes a lot of sense.

I reboot quarterly for hypervisors and monthly for LAN. Anything outward facing reboots weekly.

My layer 3 switch recently hit 400 days though. That's my highest uptime in my network.

The boring answer is something like a bond or CD ladder, or treasury bill focused ETF that'll give you 3% a year before taxes.

2 million dollars can safely net you 50,000 a year without working.

And since it's mostly federal bonds, you could be tax exempt up to a certain amount.

Of course this is the US POV.

And there are riskier investments that can hit 8ish% with only $600,000, but you'll be at the whim of high risk high reward.

If you're wanting to hit the tax free limit of $15,750 a year (total income) then 3% APY is $525k.

Or go super risky run options.
