I'm 44 and have only achieved savings within the past year and a half. I live a very modest life and have always TRIED to live below my means, but living off of my government salar…

Yeah, some of them have been hilarious.

I've been rather unimpressed with Bard when asking it "common sense" type of information. It's limited memory is also a problem when trying to have a meaningful conversation with d…

I'm glad you pointed out the tags issue. I've been using Daylio for a while now because I like doing little entries throughout my day and I initially set up a bunch of tags. Lately…

No, that was more coincidental than anything. We had been living as roommates for years before that year.

Twice. At 31 I left the Automotive field to start working in IT. It was a low paying government job without a lot of applicants. I started college at 32 and got an AA in IT. At 38 …

I've published almost 1,800 video diaries and this is a game changer for me. I've been wanting to do more with the back catalog, but don't have transcripts.

I keep a brown noise generator on my phone for reading. It helps me a great deal, especially in noisy environments when my brain is trying to pay attention to something else in my …

I was a warehouseman in the Marine Corps in the late 90s. Our warehouse was absolute garbage. we couldn't fill something like 30% of our orders because we couldn't find the items o…

We sound similar, except for the 12 pack in a weekend thing. I don't drink much, but I enjoy it when I do. When I drink, it's one drink. Maybe two if I'm feeling extra spicy that d…

I was a parts department manager in the early 00's when Mercedes USA decided to switch all their systems over to SAP. It was an absolute nightmare for 6 months. The entire UX (at t…

I've been on KeePass + Dropbox since Dropbox first became a thing and I have yet to find a reason to do it any other way.

I've got one. I use it only for writing. It's been great for that because it's terrible at everything else. It is essentially a modern-day word processor for me. I can work for hou…

I built a tool for educators ~7 years ago at my previous employer. That employer shut down and I bought the tool then sold it to my current employer. This year, my employer decided…

Yep, I had the BASIC cartridge and used the tape drive almost exclusively for that. Coded up all sorts of little projects on that machine. I hated the membrane keyboard, but it wor…

I still have my Atari 400 and tape drive!

How about the third position (which I find myself in in): Staff->Line engineer. I work primarily on an internal support product which the company decided to license to other entiti…

This pretty much describes my day job and I love it. Is our codebase a hot mess? Yeah, we have lots of debt from previous devs, but we're working on it!

The opposite actually. I used to get hangry and be irritable all the time. I would also have blood sugar crashes if I ate carbs (hypoglycemic). Switching to 18:6 completely elimina…

I live in Northern WV and I'm fully aware that our rivers flow North, but for some reason, when I clicked on my area and saw the route run up to Pittsburgh before traveling South t…

Ah, you are right. My memory sucks. It's been in storage for many many years.

Oh, I forgot all about those little drawings! Seeing this now brings back a flood of memories. Thanks!

I'll have to dig it out. I don't remember the illustrations. I remember working on a blackjack program forever. Debugging line by line. Finding my typos and getting it to work. Tha…

I remember really struggling to get the tape drive to work. Sans internet, it was quite a challenge to figure out how to get it going. That was quite likely the spark that made me …

I still have my 800. It was given to me sometime in the 80s when my cousin passed. It came with the BASIC cart, a tape drive, and a book called something like 101 BASIC GAMES that …
