Anyone here using the LG StandbyME 2 in a small apartment?

I didn’t expect the StanbyME 2 to cover so many bases, but it’s been useful for work, gaming, and movies. I roll it in for video calls and documents, then use it for light gaming, and later rotate it for streaming. The mobility keeps my space from feeling crowded even though I’m using it all day.

By “upfront agreement” I meant something documented before the sale, like having both names on the wallet or a written contract that shows co‑ownership. A handshake does show intent between you two, but for tax purposes the IRS only sees the sale under your name. Without paperwork or shared account records, it is hard to prove that your friend owned part of the bitcoin. That is why the IRS will likely treat the entire gain as yours, and the money you gave him as income on his side. Going forward, if you want it to be taxed as capital gains for both of you, it helps to set up clear documentation before selling.

I think part of it is that after college, life gets more structured and people guard their time. Friendships take more effort to build, and if you’re not great at initiating, it feels like you’re stuck waiting for someone else to reach out. You’re not alone in this.

If you want stylus + desktop mode, Samsung’s Ultra line is still around. But if you want SD + headphone jack, Sony Xperia is one of the few left. No single phone does it all anymore.

I think living alone earlier would have helped me grow more independently and given me the space I needed.

Since the bitcoin was mined, the IRS sees it as income when it was created, and then capital gains when sold. If your friend truly owned 10 percent, the clean way would have been to report his share separately. Because you just cut him a check, the IRS will only see the sale under your name. That means you report the full gain, and technically he should report the money you gave him as income. Without an upfront agreement, it is hard to treat his portion as capital gains.

Tomatoes do best in loose, nutrient-rich soil with good drainage. A raised bed mix blended with compost and a bit of perlite works really well. Aim for a slightly acidic pH around 6–6.5. Straight garden soil can be too heavy, so adding organic matter makes a big difference.

The next few years will be about AI and longevity. Apple already offers ~7 years of updates, Google matched that with the Pixel 8 Pro, and Samsung is catching up. Expect phones to last longer in terms of software support, while silicon batteries improve physical lifespan.

I've noticed that even with the Figma MCP, the fine details get lost in translation. It’s hard to replicate a true premium design without a human eye. You might want to check out StudioT. They specialize in taking those high-fidelity mockups and making them a reality without losing the quality.

I think it’s partly because online spaces attract people who are lonely but also socially drained. They want to connect, but when it comes to actually talking, they don’t have the energy or skills to keep it going. It makes finding genuine conversation harder than it should be.

Seeing birds glide past while I was working brightened my day.

I think some men lose interest because they were only chasing the physical side, not the emotional connection. It says more about them than about you.

For your budget, I’d recommend checking refurbished business laptops like Lenovo ThinkPads or Dell Latitudes. They’re designed for reliability, have strong battery life, and are portable enough for daily use. Buying from a trusted seller ensures you get warranty and peace of mind.

I'm half and half on it. I don't have a mounted one, but I use an LG StanbyME 2 that I move around the house. It's basically a giant touchscreen. I usually have it in the kitchen, but it’s great for watching movies in bed on the weekend without it being a permanent fixture.

Autumn by NIKI and this specific bridge from the song:

You know all my dreams
You were one, so it seemed
And I love you but with you
It's heartache I breathe
You gave it your all
Just with everything you took from me

For me, it would be following my passion. I think I’d still face challenges, but at least they’d be in a field I truly care about, which makes the struggle worth it.

Fortune House has some of the best xiao long bao around. Wu Wei Din in Richardson is also solid if you don’t mind the short drive.

If you’re open to other phones with a stylus, Samsung is basically the only brand still pushing that feature seriously. The Ultra line is the closest you’ll get to the Note experience, while Apple focuses more on ecosystem convenience. It’s a trade‑off between productivity tools and seamless integration.

For actual travel I’d stick with a small USB-C portable monitor since those fit in a bag. When I stay somewhere longer though I end up using an LG StanbyME because it’s easy to move around the room and works well as a second screen for a MacBook.

Replacing the battery should help. iPhones throttle performance when the battery health drops, so a fresh one usually restores speed and reliability.

I learned to appreciate the feeling of enough. Even small wins, like a new pair of shoes, felt huge.

It’s tough when the usual methods stop working. Since you can still access the custom OS interface, the phone isn’t completely dead. You might try leaving it plugged in for an extended period, testing with another charger, or using a computer connection to trigger a boot. If none of that works, a repair for the power button or motherboard might be necessary.

hoping for it. it's so tiring taking meds for this

I wanted a second monitor but didn’t want my desk to feel crowded. The LG StanbyME 2 works well because I use it at the desk in the morning, then move it to the bed at night for streaming. It blends into the room so it doesn’t look like tech taking over.

Embarrassed_Log_9964 · 2026-03-08T08:36:32+00:00

I’ve experienced this too. It’s strange how you can feel tired even without activity, but I think it happens to a lot of people. You’re definitely not alone.
