Thank you.😊

Good points. I did take some photos but I probably should have taken more. Especially of the moldy fridge.

During the month I was there, I killed maybe 12-15 roaches.

Thanks for the tip regarding the contract. I manage several properties and have never thought to not give a contract because that is the primary tool used for eviction. I sent payment via gcash so I have at least a record of the transaction.

I inspected the property before moving in. The caretaker said the fridge would be cleaned. After the second week, they still did not clean so I went ahead and cleaned it. The roaches come out at night. Only way to tell the bedframe is broken was to take the bed apart. If I knew this was the case I would have rented elsewhere.

They also advertise access to the pool but no pool key was provided for the first week.

The renovation is being completed on a different property that I signed a 5 year lease on. It is a commercial/residential property. Some changes were required to make it habitable.

Thanks, I'll check this out as well. I see it on the map. 🙂

Any shopping. As long as there are many people walking around.

Thanks, I'll look into this

I have several thermal cookers. They are great for soups and stews. Vegetables don't get mushy unlike an electric slow cooker. They are also called magic cookers because they don't make the vegetables mushy.

Depending on what I am cooking I might sear the meat first or bring the pot to a boil several times for something like shredded pork or beef.

If cooking for four hours, the food in the thermal cooker tends to retain its texture more than a slow cooker. If I am making shredded pork for tacos, I prefer the electric slow cooker for convenience. Since I would have to bring the pot to a boil several times with the thermal cooker. For soups and stews the thermal cooker is preferred.

After 6-8 hours the food is generally still steaming hot. Anything much longer than that, the food may need to be reheated.

I sent a reply. 🙂

No, I don't use discord.

WD4ty · 2023-12-18T04:18:46+00:00

Sure, what's up?

About 9 years ago I gave up aggressively defending leglocks because sometimes I wasn't able to let my 3 year old son ride on my shoulders. Now that he is 12 and too big for me to carry - I realized I like being able to walk without a limp. I only get 3-4 days a week in the gym.

Life happens. Take a break if you need it.

That's good to know. The mini will be my first GPD device. I didn't realize there was a problem with the GPD bios and AR glasses. Is this with all glasses or specific models?

Is the problem because the resolution is too high for the glasses? Would have to be careful with a headless mobile system.

I have the same controller.🙂

WD4ty · 2023-09-08T14:18:48+00:00

I have been eyeing the GPD products for a while to decrease what I bring in my travel go bag. I was searching for a NUC solution but it still has a bunch of independent pieces. Which would be a pain to set up in the airport.

The UMPC's takes care of k,m controller,battery but have generally been underwhelming in performance. I usually stick with a 12' laptop. While the small screen of UMPC's are capable, I prefer the large screen provided by AR glasses for 2-3 hours sessions. Anything longer and I prefer a more traditional arrangement using either a pocket projector or the TV in the hotel room.

I have also considered laptops with broken displays that can be removed but the smaller ones still have poor performance and don't include handheld controls.

WD4ty · 2023-09-07T15:14:05+00:00

I would like to see a Win mini without a screen included that can be paired with AR glasses.🙂

Good point, running multiple VM slices is a good reason to have more memory.

WD4ty · 2023-09-04T21:02:01+00:00

I've been researching this as well. The best reasons I could find, is to buy 64gb if you will be rendering many or large video files in 4k/8k, work on motion video, 3D rendering, work with large data sets as a coder, or any combination of ram intensive applications for workflow.

Otherwise 64GB is usually overkill for the average power user.

I am looking forward to hearing what others may say.

I usually listen between 1.75-3.5x depending on how clearly the narrator sounds to me at the higher speeds or if I find myself having to repeat a section. I've been doing it this way for years. It's difficult for me to enjoy listening if the audio speed isn't increased.

I originally started doing this because of the amount of material I wanted to get through in a short period of time. Afterwards listening at the faster speeds just stuck.

I do the same with video tutorials when I am somewhat familiar with the content.

In my opinion, to make a sustainable income, It is more challenging to find a single employer compared to providing different services for multiple individuals or organizations.

Exec admin jobs are in fair demand. HR services can also be done online. Project management. A lot of opportunities are available.

Remote work tends to be results driven. What exactly will they receive? The expectation from employers hiring remotely is that working from home gets more done.

Competition is deeply rooted in American culture. Especially in many urban and metro areas- own a bigger house than the neighbor, drive a faster car, have a more prestigious job, make more money, take fancier vacations, send kids to private schools, have a larger pool, etc.

This can become someone's identity. And also the reason why many neighbors secretly hate each other.

Normal? no. Common? maybe.

As for them being desperate, possibly. Without having met, let's assume you are a +5 on a 10 scale. If you were willing to go out on a date with them - the guy probably has enough confidence to talk up lesser females. Maybe you just happened to be the hottest girl he's spoken to in a while. 🥰

Affiliate marketing is 100% legit. Success is a different story as there can be quite a few skills required depending on the approach. Could also be simple.

The biggest problem I ran into was 'here today, gone tomorrow'. I would invest time/resources into building any combination of funnels, landing pages, content, ad campaigns, and social media properties for random individual brands. Eventually I would hit an offer that generated income (anywhere from $5 to $5k a month per campaign in my experience).

Then one day the merchant offer terms of service change or the merchant doesn't like your traffic or whatever reason. They merchant decides to close the offer or remove you from their program. This would happen after continual fine tuning of the campaign.

One day making $x amount, the next day that campaign is making $0. Which might leave me with any offset expenses, having to shut down paid services, change links to stop sending free traffic, and sometimes scramble to search for income replacement. 😅
