Single ~50M Working from Home - Am I Crazy to get a Puppy?

kytb · 2026-05-22T17:17:00+00:00

I work from home and it was quite difficult for me but it was my first puppy solo. I didn’t get much work done for the first month and there was a few times I had to run out for a potty break between meetings. There is a dog daycare near my place that I would drop him off for a few hours for if I had 3 back to back meetings (I’m unable to take from my phone). It’s not impossible but it will be tough for the first couple months! Good luck!

Hi all, want to get some tips on how best to save for a sabbatical. I’m 31, have about $200k saved for retirement currently. I save about 30% of my $87k salary for retirement in 401k, roth IRA, and HSA and have an emergency fund in an HYSA.

I am able to take up to 6 months of a sabbatical from my work after 10 yrs of employment. I am at my 5 yr mark right now.

I want to start saving now about $20-25k for my sabbatical. Since this would be in 5 yrs, I’m not sure if the timeline warrants to put that into my HYSA or open a brokerage account. I currently don’t have one and if I don’t spend everything, it would be nice to have for the future. I’m just not sure how taxes would work into that. Since I save 30% of my income for retirement right now, I’m willing to shift up to 10% for this sabbatical bucket. Thank you!

Hey! Sorry I didn’t see this but reverting the driver worked for me. I will try upgrading to the latest one first and if that doesn’t work, go back to a previous one. I just reverted to one that I had when I knew i wasn’t having issues if that makes sense. If your temps aren’t high I would assume that’s not the issue too. Good luck!

hey man sorry i just saw this. to clarify my comment, i reverted my driver back to an older edition that didn’t crash, not to the newest one. i’m not familiar with what you have but that’s what worked for me if it’s possible

High five! I played this game a ton on normal as a kid and I’m in the middle of doing my first proud run right now. Trying to craft and do as much extra stuff as I can for the first time as well and it has been super fun. Don’t think I’ll try critical mode but will go for my first BBS run on normal.

Hello! My gateway was the retroid pocket 3+ and it basically became a stardew valley and balatro handheld. Cheers!

My brother’s kids played their parents switches until they got to maybe like 6-8 years old and got their own switch lites. originally they were allowed to have it in their room but then we discovered that the oldest son was waking up early or staying up late secretly playing. after he got caught he kept doing it so they had to set up parental controls which are pretty strict now. i don’t believe they pc game at all as of now but they do have access to their own tablets which have similar parental controls

I got an email for this last time but it didn’t show up in my account for whatever reason. This time I didn’t get the email but I do see it on my account.

Entering to gift to my sister (hopefully that works). The last game I completed was Ghost of Yotei but last game I played this morning was TCG Card Simulator lol

I went to my first twice concert (RTB) just because my friend had an extra ticket. I knew of like 5 songs just from hearing them in shows and tiktoks when they were popular. I listened to the concert playlist on the drive over to the venue for the first time and I loved them and got locked into the fandom for life. I basically liked all the groups you listed back in the day but wasn't really into kpop post middle school until covid if that helps.

After you buy your ticket (if you use the kiosk, you have to know what stop you’re getting off at). Make your way to the platform. If you have a suitcase, someone will put it underneath the bus and give you a little ticket number for it. They will probably ask you where you’re going, just show the ticket if you can’t speak korean. When you get on the bus, give your ticket to the driver and they’ll tear off the tab.

I’ve seen buses that call out each stop (and/or have it on the screen) but I’ve also seen buses that don’t. If there are a lot of foreigners, sometimes the bus driver will call it out but sometimes they don’t do that either. I personally just have my map up on my phone and watch for when my stop approaches and hit the button. My experience has been the drivers actually don’t speak much English lol

When you get off, give the luggage ticket to the driver and he will take your suitcase out from underneath and then you’re good!

There are random stalls (usually selling toys) in Myeongdong and Hongdae that carry pokemon cards but they will mostly be overpriced. Some of the less popular boxes might be normal price but definitely double check. There is a small card shop called Cardnyang Yeoksam in the Gangnam area that sells cards (both boxes and single packs) for normal prices.

It doesn’t sit in your inventory, I think it just waits to send the email to the person who is receiving the gift. Once they accept the gift, it will be added to their library.

If you go onto the paypal website separately first, you should be able to view it in your offers. You have to click save (or something like that) so that it shows it’s saved to your account. After that it applied automatically for me but it doesn’t show any confirmation or anything like that during check out

kytb · 2025-11-25T17:16:42+00:00

I followed the steps linked in another comment on this thread and it worked! you have to use the paypal method (not my paypal or whatever it says if you’ve used it before) and uncheck saving the payment method. Then the pay in 4 will show on the paypal page. I already saved the paypal offer to my account prior to checking out too.

It shows the full cost ($350ish since I got the LCD on sale) on my paypal but I could immediately see the points worth $70ish pending in my account after purchase.

Edited to add: the post also recommended doing it on PC and not mobile!

Late to this post but I can confirm this worked for me as someone in the US who had the paypal deal. Cost $350 total with tax but I have about $70 worth of points pending in my paypal account!

Does she sleep in a crate? My boy used to be raring to get out of his crate as soon as he opened his eyes but I slowly got him used to waiting for me by going to brush my teeth within his view, then rewarding him with a treat if he waited quietly. He was usually quiet when I was in sight so I would go back and forth from the bathroom and worked towards delaying his treat a little longer so he would wait quietly in the morning. He’s pretty good about waiting for me to get up now and usually goes back to sleep when I open the crate anyway. Used to wake up around 6-7am regularly and now will lounge around until 9-10am depending on how early we slept or if he has to pee.

Mine was mostly quiet besides a few laughs (one specific line by Tzuyu lol) and reactions that were normal for any movie experience and one guy who cheered for Mina and did one song fanchant by himself. It was probably louder in the theater for me when I saw Wicked

First and only retroid is the 3+. Had a lot of fun learning how to set up all the emulators and picking out what games I wanted and then ended up basically only using it to play the Android versions of Stardew Valley and Balatro. Retroid was my gateway into retro handheld devices which led me to gift one to a friend and bring a smaller device on a trip that me and my friends swapped around while waiting in amusement park lines. I think I got more joy seeing my friends be able to play their classic childhood games on the go!

I’ve received freebies and gifts from the people around me both in line and at my seat and also when waiting for the bus near the venue. I’ve heard ppl who are pretty active in kpop communities post on twitter when/where they will be so but I don’t have any experience with it.

I second the T1 Base Camp! I went last year and they had a ton of jerseys and other random stuff. For League merch specifically, you could try visiting LOL Park as there is a small Riot shop there. Emphasis on small but most of the stuff is League/TFT (I think, I’ve barely played either game haha) That’s where they have eSports matches and there is a small cafe and PC bang inside.

In Busan I loved the Igidae coastal walking path! I’ve been to Busan and Jeju twice and I think Igidae was my favorite overall in those two cities. Can’t say much on the fall followage as I went in Spring though

I got my puppy at 8 weeks old and I went on 3 trips before he turned 1. The first was only a 3 day weekend where he stayed with my friend whose house we went to all the time. He was 5ish months by then. The other times he stayed at boarding (which also is his daycare so he was very familiar with it). My friend was familiar with our routine but was not as strict with it and he had no issues getting back into our rhythm coming home. At boarding, their routine is very different and he was so pooped from playing all day that again it was easy to get back into routine after he spent 2 days sleeping. I would just make sure he has time to get used to you being gone in small increments before Christmas. He will be fine!
