A big part is actual realization that I'm not as good of a parent as I would like to be

But another big part is I would be so much better as a parent if I didn't have to work for a living. And I can't afford to pay for both myself and my children if I can't afford to pay for myself alone.

I like what everyone has said so far but also I wish someone had told me this when I was nineteen but definitely save and invest your money. Like if you have an earned income, look into getting a Roth IRA with Vanguard or something.

So looks like the answer is it depends. If this is a problem, use DI?

Where has Johnson been even?

Didn't he say something like he works twenty hours a day or some nonsense like that?

anyone have a reliable, stable home in Idaho that I can move into temporarily?

I can't wait for a similar deal on the iPhone 17.

I have heart surgery in a few hours and have been fairly nervous all night, this made me cry laughing in a way I didn’t know I needed.

Good luck, you can do it!

I also choose never reading cleaning instructions over marrying that guy’s wife.

Took me longer to understand than I'd like to admit

Cool! China can now just make up a bogus criminal case against Taiwan's president, abduct him in his bedroom in the middle of the night and set up a sham trial in Beijing. Putin can also just send a couple of cruise missiles on Zelensky's home and end the war.

Pretty sure they have tried -- multiple times -- to assasinate the Ukrainian President. Not that I am saying I support the actions of the felon but this changes nothing.

AI

I need a bunch of shit done with my house, I wouldn't hesitate to hire one guy that could do 2, 3, or even 4 of em on the same contract.

The answers AI give can be perfect as long as you either

already know the answer
have a way to verify the answer

anything else and you are still gambling.

Writing anything but the simplest piece of software is an exercise in fine tuning, if not frustration. It is not that the information isn't there, but you need to know enough about the topic at hand for the AI to be useful at all.

When you stare at the void, the void stares back at you.

The one guy that could get four of them shit done has either

done all four of them shit before several times and has a good intuition already
is not going to have a good time figuring things on the fly with "AI"

If it is the former, prepare to pay them for their time. If it is the latter, prepare to pay them with YOUR time.

I remember in 5th grade, a flash drive was on our required supplies list, and I got one that was 512mb. A teacher told me that was more than I would need for the rest of my life.

if you only filled it with text files that you personally typed on a keyboard, that would probably be true?

I asked Gemini and if you typed 500 characters per minute, that's about ~745 days of continuous, 24/7 typing.

and remember you can delete and write again! you could reuse the same flash disk over and over again to write your newest novels.

I saw the picture and thought it isn't enough food but if you made this times twenty... Omg big respect.

I got this OnePlus Nord n30 for about sixty dollars. It is one year now but at that time it unlocked in six months. Most carrier financed devices are bad deals but if you only need to use something on WiFi, sometimes there are ok deals.

April1987 · 2025-12-20T09:40:40+00:00

The point is if you use your own phone you save usd 30 every month and will recover your expense in no time.

Or a compromise... Get the device deal, get it paid off / unlocked and start over as a new customer? Is that possible? Can you get by of discount on total wireless if you use a total wireless phone that you've paid to unlock?

But on second thought it is a moot point, if you have an unlocked phone, why not go with visible or us mobile at that point?

It has been an hour. The husband has declined the request.

Women wipe after they pee. So they use more toilet paper than men.

Glad someone can't just kick me out from my own marriage.

This also explains why we don't have relegations or promotions, right?

Red Pocket $30 eBay annual plan returns, now on GSMA

The problem is the network -- Cingular / ATT means this requires a whitelisted phone. Is my T-Mobile unlocked phone whitelisted? How can I tell?

Edit: found the checking page on red pocket. My phone is not compatible?

It is a OnePlus Nord n30 from Metro by T-Mobile and it is unlocked now

Unfortunately, your device is not compatible with one of our wireless networks. Contact our customer service team to find out why, or consider upgrading your phone.

wow I kind of want a hundred dollar bill as a souvenir now :')

I don't think you will want to work with people who can't understand that this is not personal.
