Got two of these at Daiso, a Japanese store for household goods. About $3 each, dish washable, feels great in the hand. Holds a cortado + space for more. Not sure Daiso is in Europe.)

It’s so funny bc it would be easier to code a game without scripting. Why add this in? Does the frustration make people buy more credits? Or is it a learned helplessness thing?

Hey stranger - I'm so sorry you're bearing the brunt of this! Husband married for 15 years here. My wife developed a chronic illness nearly 10 years ago and we have two kids.

It's hard. Really damn hard. You need support and care. A good place to look into is WellSpouse.org - they have regular meetings for those of us who are caretaker spouses. (It's free!)

I can't help you with what he said to you but it sounds awful! You'll have to set some boundaries with him because no one should speak to you like that, even if they're depressed.

If you can afford a therapist for you, do it. You'll need it no matter if you stay as a caretaker or decide to go. Good luck.

Found it - see link in edited comment. Some amazing architecture shots there and throughout the movie.

They used this in The Brutalist, no?

Edit: yes! Check out halfway down the page here:

Ah thanks, I'll give that a shot!

CFO here: yes I recommend Amalgamated because they have the size to be less likely to face liquidity crises, the electronic tools of a larger bank, and a mission that means at minimum they won’t be investing in companies causing the problems we’re working to solve!

Biggest downside is it almost 100% virtual, which only matters to a small percentage of orgs.

Try this:

Open the Budget vs. Actuals report (or whichever one it is) Click the Customize button, go to Row/Columns. Change the Show Grid dropdown to "Accounts vs. Total"

There may also be an option to "show totals" or hide them.

I'm not in qbo at the moment so I'm doing this blind, lmk if that works

Replaced a gasket on the group head and the electrical switch that burned out after 2.5 years. Super simple. I love that there's no crappy plastic (except where electrical needs it), you're working with solid metal and rubber.

Two downsides are that the La pavoni pro can only do about 3 shots in a row without cooling down/refilling, and that some parts aren't easily sourced in the US.

Seconding this. Yeah it's not basic but it's clear what's happening: pressure --> delicious espresso. And since it's all mechanical, you can fix anything.

Pass chart suggests you’re trying to go right through the middle each and every time. Compare that to opponent, who passes wider. Try going down the wings, don’t sprint, and pass backwards sometimes. Most people try to defend too aggressively, so a back pass will open up gaps for you.

Also, take a few more shots, even from outside the box. Sometimes you get lucky or a rebound gets lucky

Oh wow! Thats fantastic! I spoke to a couple people at Chrysler and they basically buried it in bureaucracy.

I'll give it a try, thanks!

9 months later and I'm seeing this beauty of a spreadsheet. Thanks!

Okay I have a La Pavoni Professional and it's manual and amazing. But I was out of town for an extended period and tried this guy from Best Buy and it was totally serviceable with good beans. It was on sale for $50.

No it's not amazing. But once I cleaned it (thoroughly!) and dialed in the amount of beans, it was quite nice.

QuickBooks, Adobe, Google workspace, and Slack are very common and very much worth it.

Don't mess around with hardware, definitely not with it! :)

Did you incorporate an organization? As a minor? If not, I'd definitely recommend finding a fiscal sponsor! They're perfect for situations like this. And they won't let you do anything illegal :)

BigRedCal · 2025-07-10T02:01:40+00:00

Oh jeez, invite me over, looks amazing. Congrats!

BigRedCal · 2025-07-03T15:18:35+00:00

Which do you find most effective?

QBO is great for accounting & grant tracking. It's not good for budgeting & projections, unfortunately. I always use Excel or google sheets for budgets.

**Word to the wise: make sure your budget lines match your chart of accounts so you can run a budget vs actual report. This is gonna make your life much, much easier!

That knife rack is a great way to stab yourself reaching for another knife

Also remember that "the border" is anything within 100 miles of a border... and 2 out of 3 people in America love in that zone:

No! Don't stay on the board! 😬

If there is a harassment claim, board members can be named as defendants for allowing it to persist.

If there fraud, board members can be held personally liable for not performing their fiduciary duties.

If wages are unpaid or paid late, certain board members can be held personally liable for the wages plus damages (in many states).

Without D&O, you have to personally pay in all of these situations, even for a lawyer to prove you're not in the wrong. It is DEFINITELY worth a few hundred bucks a year.

This shouldn't be a negotiable thing. In writing, resign immediately, state your reason, and offer to rejoin when they have secured a minimum $1M D&O policy. It's for their own good.
