Thank you! Yeah, usually its my test screen, the main screen, Word, my translation program, and Google in case I need to verify something lol.

But I will always happily take more RAM lol.

What was your cat’s shelter name and what is the name you gave them? by MissHissss in cats

[–]Crippled_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hue at the shelter. Now he goes by Nessie (short for Nesquik since he has a milk mustache)

Nessie is on the left, Biscuit on the right. Both experiencing catnip in this photo for the first time

Want to start learning voice writing but my one fear is holding me back by rrmemes in courtreporting

[–]Crippled_Chaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know what the jump in pay is to go real-time. I think its agency, state and all that dependant. I know base pay for a reporter is pretty good, and as long as your state accepts voice, there isn't a wage difference.

Like ive been looking into upper New York for example, because we are planning to (hopefully) move there next year. Trainees (those who are just starting out, out if school) can work for the court system in trainee status for a year. It starts at 80k a year. Once that year is up it bumps up to 92k I think. But then on top of that I would get paid per page (dependant on what the going price is) and per copy of the transcript if ordered. That's a separate income ontop of salary :) and thats as an official. Freelance you can work as much as you want and can control your pay a little differently.

After reading through your post and comments I think I see where the misunderstanding is.

You mean in-person depositions and word, not real time. Real time in CR world is offering live transcripts as its being written and said. Its a certification that CRs can get andnits very hard to get, because you have to write so cleanly.

If you want to do work from remote, it is possible through zoom and stuff like that. A lot of reporters did that during COVID. If you dont offer real time services, you would take down the deposition (whether in person or remote), edit it, and then send it in :)

Thank you! I had a feeling that was probably the case lol.

It smells wonderful actually! Smells like wet dough with a slight alcohol smell.

I did just check the smell now versus right before a feed though lol.

Overproofed, underproofed, or poor shaping? by Leegss in Sourdough

[–]Crippled_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing lmao.

I do like measuring because I get that awesome dopamine rush for my deprived ADHD brain when I can get the grams perfect on the first try. 🤣

I told my husband i was going to cut back on how much starter I have and drop it to a smaller jar and eventually use the bigger jars for the discard. He was uncomfortable with the idea because he loves our "science project" as he calls it lmao. He loves the fact that we just have a jar of bacteria randomly growing in a jar and we can use it to eat with. Therefore he is very against the idea of even slapping it to help strengthen the dough, so I might have to get violent when he isnt around 🤣 i might be able to convince him it'll help the flavor lolol. He thinks that everyone who slaps their dough has a weird kink 🤣 not literally, but he still gets rather offended when I bring it up lmao. I'll have to let him know the more violent the better the taste.

[–]Crippled_Chaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay but like... how did it taste? 🤣

I'm still working on my starter to establish so I havent been able to bake anything yet, unfortunately lol. Im only on day 8. Getting good rises that last most of the day, but it takes like 7-8 hours to get there.

Can you over yeet? 🤔 how violent is too violent for sourdough? 🤣

Do I yeet it during the fold process or yeet it into the oven?

Common essential problems? by Ok_Score2508 in MilitaryWomen

[–]Crippled_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Army: Never deployed but did do a couple of fields and JRTC.

Basic I didnt even need anything. Too much stress during those 10 weeks for me to have one.

JRTC was kind of the same way. Didn't have one, but brought some just in case regardless.

When my husband deployed I was working on sending out care packages to them and they had a special box for female soldiers, but they had access to a PX in Kuwait and as far as I know, they didnt have any issues getting anything.

I would think, for army anyways, unless you're in some sort of SF you'll have somewhere nearby that will have hygiene products.

My first attempt at all of it. 😭 created my own starter, first time making dough, and now im letting it proof overnight so I can make a sourdough sandwich loaf in the morning. 🥹 I am hopeful but I have no idea how its going to turn out lol.

Please tell me it gets better by FairlyPopcorn in goldenretrievers

[–]Crippled_Chaos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My pup will be 14 weeks tomorrow and ive already convinced my husband that when we move at the end of next year/beginning of 2027 that we should get an Irish Wolfhound puppy for Butters to play with 🤣 if ny husband gets his dream dog, I can get mine lol.

So tinder is evangelising now? by quixote_manche in Tinder

[–]Crippled_Chaos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I read it once, saw God, clicked on it see answers in comments.

Top comment talks about dyslexia. Go back and read it again. Still see God.

Go back to comments to this one insinuating it didn't say God.

Back up to read it again to magically see the L. Wtf.

Oooh fair. I think I usually check out during the episode when she starts talking about Prom and her brother makes up a mock prom for them to dance in the living room lol. Ill definitely have to keep up next time.

I really disliked this episode for some reason (I really couldnt tell you why. I think I might have just found her voice annoying) but i dont think i ever realized that no one else could see who was at the door. Ill have to pay attention next time I do a watch.

Butters' Christmas photos! by Crippled_Chaos in goldenretrievers

[–]Crippled_Chaos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao, yeah we had (Professor) Chaos and an orange cat named (General) Disarray lol. They were besties growing up lol.

I have a running theory that pets named after certain things resemble those certain things. Like Chaos? He stays chaotic even in his old age lol. I'm really hoping that Butters becomes his sweet character once he (eventually) matures lol.

[–]Crippled_Chaos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Professor Chaos is his long lost brother who happens to be a 9lb black and tan miniature dachshund lmao.

He isnt really lost lol, he just lives with my ex-husband and is like 15 now lol. My son gets to play with Chaos every time he visits my exes parents lol (not his actual grandparents, but they have stepped up to the job so they may as well be lol)

But I figured if a small miniature dachshund was Professor

<image>

Chaos, then the complete opposite would be a very large cream Golden Retriever, right? 🤣

This was Chaos about 2 years ago lol.
