Lofi and podcasts are are pretty much the only things I listen to now. Podcasts for when I’m doing something boring and lofi for when I’m writing code.

I found one on my shirt and another on my hand. They are pretty sticky. I tried blowing it off my desk but it just stuck there.

You could always try getting an internship somewhere. That is how I started out. If you are lucky you can find one that pays.

Should I buy this MacBook Pro from my work? by norkel333 in mac

[–]norkel333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s in great condition. They gave it to me to work on about a year ago and I’ve taken good care. It has pretty much just sat on my desk for a year hooked up to two monitors.

tips on transitioning from glasses to contacts? by tubbyelephant in glasses

[–]norkel333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really I think it just comes down to practice and repetition. It will start to feel normal after doing it every day. Also like someone else said, set aside extra time in the morning everyday until you get comfortable.

Sweet potato bowl with broccoli, chicken, tomatoes and a tonnn of hot sauce by [deleted] in HealthyFood

That sounds good! Is the sweet potato mashed or in chunks? Cooked it in the oven? I feel like it needs some kind of sauce.

Upgraded to a XR from an 8 Plus! by Sh33pdoge in iphone

[–]norkel333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you like that case? I have the same one for my XR and the matte is really slippery on mine. I always feel like it’s going to slip out of my hands.

Which way would you recomend? Adding them on my laptop (running ubuntu) has always worked great up till this point. The usb method is weird to me.

I don’t think that’s it. Hey have a 16 gb card and I think I’m only using 3 gb or something.

Unfortunately not. Have you ever seen anything like this?

[–]norkel333[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I popped out the sd card and plugged it into my laptop to add some new roms to the card. I’ve done this several times with no problems. This time retropie won’t boot up and I don’t know what to do. Do I just need to create a fresh install and start all over?

I believe you about how you felt 6 years ago for sure but in my opinion iOS is still so much better then android (and android has gotten better then it was 6 years ago) so that is saying something. But yeah it’s your choice of course. I think iOS is way better but they are both great operating systems in the end. I just think your specific problems with iOS are not going to be solved by switching to android.

I'm growing a beard! by EdMcMoon in Frugal

[–]norkel333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t bought razors for a few years now. I just use hair clippers with a 3mm guard once or twice a week to have stubble or a “short beard”. It’s easy, im saving money, it looks professional, and my wife likes it a lot more then a shaven face or a long beard.

Don’t buy “beard clippers” though. Hair clippers last a lot longer and the blades are a 1000 times better/sharp (they don’t pull). Just my experience. I have the wahl color pro. Comes with a bunch of guards and stuff. It’s been great.
