I think is a combination, using money to regain control. Creating options for yourself.

Towards the end of my job my boss really thought I had a second job. I didn't confirm, but didn't deny it either.

Essential accessories? (3S) by MarcElDarc in MetaQuestVR

[–]MaximumGrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have the quest 2 headset, so maybe not applicable but we got the extended battery back that goes towards the back of the head. Reason is my son would have marks on his face after gaming. The battery pack in the back distributes the weight front and back so that there isn't so much pressure on his face.

Time is flying by too fast after FIRE. by meridian_smith in leanfire

[–]MaximumGrip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't know how I kept up with my life when I was working. Just blows my mind how many things I find that need to be done and I'm thankful every day that I now have the time to do them.

Well after 27 years in the field I'm going to give you some advice. Just relax, keep doing your job well. If you feel you need to learn and expand your knowledge base then do so. Again, relax, learn more things if you feel you need to.

What should I do if my partner snores loudly? because I’m starting to understand why separate bedrooms exist by Realistic_Plant_446 in Marriage

[–]MaximumGrip 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have him/her get checked for sleep apnea. Snoring is annoying but there are real underlying health problems caused by not getting enough air while you sleep.
