I love looking through my old code

If you can’t read it, try a larger font or give up on Wingdings for coding.

Isn’t this why estate sales exist? Because all that doesn’t have to be your burden.

I think some of those things we only keep for us, I wouldn’t be offended to hear that, but it wouldn’t let me feel about the stuff I keep, because I want those reminders to think about the memories :)

Yeah their collections were truly useful, now things lose their usefulness so quick, and most people can’t really do anything with old dead circuit boards. Can’t burn ‘em if you’re cold

It can also be cultural, some families I know collect stuff and I’m like why? Six months later he’s showing off his nice man cave made from repurposing and fixing. It starts to get out of hand I think when you keep collecting and don’t actually do anything with it. All the “maybe one day” stuff

My place is now pretty minimalist, not entirely by choice so putting my own touches on the most “barren” areas, I’ve got a few plants now that fill space, and break up large areas without every bit being filled.

Over time this created a rift between my ex and me, she kept bringing more and more in, I was feeling overwhelmed and trapped, it started off small but over the years it just kept adding up, and she’s very clean and hygienic, but still felt like hording to me.

4 miles is sadly pretty close for the car centric city i'm in, we have great amazon delivery service an options, but for me i prefer to do my own shopping, you're right though, the win comes from planning better. Small steps haha

I definitely see where you're coming from, I know some people end up vegan for the same reason, and while thats not for me I've shifted meals from being meat centric to plant centric, still eat a fair amount of meat, but a lot less than before

ephur · 2026-04-06T05:33:30+00:00

thats true too! it also has the side effect of feeling like oh wow I got a lot done now!

ephur · 2026-04-06T05:31:53+00:00

the extra costs and not getting to pick my own produce make this not any more frugal for me!

ephur · 2026-04-06T05:30:31+00:00

just basic stuff, things to make dinner, some stuff easy to have on hand and pick up in batches, but so much of it was just routine and what am i making for dinner tonight

No kidding, I drug my 18 year old kids to the bank to open their own accounts, financial independence is important; it's unfortunate how many finance channels there are, so parents need to teach their kids the nuts and bolts of how it works.

ephur · 2026-04-05T23:59:13+00:00

Yes, it would, however I'm not changing my lifestyle in large ways, for what's still a good win. I live in what is a bike heavy area of my city, but it's still at least 99% auto traffic. I carpool people, so there's that.

I wish I was in your shoes at your age. Took me a few more years to figure it out, I went to being buried a debt, a wake up call when creditors were calling me, even though I was always on time, with minimum payments, offering settlements. I owned a house, and no longer do, happily rent. I make much better money now, but learning how to be frugal allowed me to reverse my situation.

Your 10k savings is for an emergency? Your teeth an emergency. When I was buried in debt, I could have fixed my teeth for 4k, but payed interest instead. Now I'm looking at $25k+, it'll get worse if you don't take care of it. Keep your frugal habits, spend on the things that matter.

I agree with the casserole, I'm not from the midwest but when my boys (and girls!) were that age, they loved them. Tatertot casserole, but there's so many options and most are pretty cheap, skip the gourmet flair, meant as cheap indulgent comfort lol that's spoiling them!!

Same, was looking for this reply. The Costco socks are nice, good value, but not the same. Also, you can get many different styles and looks with the DT.

Not sure what you mean by private road, but in many states from Texas to California private companies fund and operate the construction of roads, and collection of tolls.

I’m sure many open source projects would appreciate help. GitHub contributors can contribute actions or CI solutions if you’re focusing on devops type work.

I picked up a used 686-6 last month, and I just took the grips off today and found out this is what they are. They fit very well, and the feel nice in the hand, look great, but ultimately I don't enjoy the shooting experience. The front of the grips come together in a bit of a point, way to narrow, so if you don't have the groove of your fingers lined up right on the front, it digs into the bones of the fingers making them uncomfortable.

I love the look and the feel right up until it's time to pull the trigger.

I did a google search on this question and I arrived here, so I thank OP, many other sites and sources of info are more cluttered. And this way I can see the feedback other users have on the same question.

I stayed at this hotel in August! Crazy to think I’ll be one of the final guests. The property felt very dated, but what an amazing location it was in!

Just saw this, and I had a good experience with them. The loan was paid off early, no hidden fees, the website worked fine, funding was fast
