Not to mention if you primarily watch videos on your TV you’re out of luck.

Yep, I’m the senior member of my team at work and I have to train a lot of newbies. When my supervisor tells me to start my training I message the person on teams to make sure their ready, then call them, then either share my screen or have them share their screen.
I work in international freight and every shipment is different, it would take 30 minutes to type out everything they need to know for every individual shipment. If I can show them while talking about each aspect it only takes 2 or 3 minutes per shipment.
And I’m someone who hates talking on the phone and screen sharing, but sometimes it’s just what you have to do to get the job done efficiently.

So you could have donated that money to a food bank or homeless shelter, or just kept it and invested in dividend paying stock, but instead you spent it on a watch that tells you the same time as my $20 watch?

SSDs are getting reasonable, you might want to look into it again if that’s your use case.

Oh yeah, I run spinning rust in my nas. All data storage for me is on HDDs, only OS date is on the SSD. That’s for the nas and my computer.

I have a visor CD holder with a few burnt copies of albums I always enjoy. Yes my car has Bluetooth and yes I use it, but sometimes it’s just easier to pop in a CD. It’s also more legal, a couple of years ago a coworker got ticketed for distracted driving because the cop saw him switching albums on his phone while driving. I doubt you’ll get pulled over for swapping CDs.

This is how I know I’m getting old, my first thought was “spinning rust for always on long term storage” and then I remembered it’s 2025 and SSD’s are about equal now.
Get off my lawn, your interrupting Matlock!

Reading though the comments I think something I said earlier today is going to be true. Technology Connections is going to be the XKCD of video explainers.

That would be a major character flaw of mine, when I fall for someone I will suppress myself because I know I have ADHD and when I get excited I can be a bit much. And let’s face it, when I first fall for someone I’m a bit excited.
I get what you’re saying but it is kind of a funny paradox, if you like being alone bring someone into that. But I know you’re saying find someone who’s ok with what I like, staying home a lot, and will understand when I randomly get up and go get on my computer because the ADHD brain just had an idea and needs to go down the rabbit hole “sorry Hun, I’ll be back in 5 to 7 hours” lol.
Thanks for the advice, it’s definitely something to think about and remember if I do find that special shut in hermit that completes me.
Well I have the dad belly… so that’s something! Also I do have an unhealthy love of dad jokes, and by unhealthy I mean one coworker has threatened me if I told another one…all in jest of course.

Thanks for the explanation, I finally had a little time to read up on the stag hunt aspect and what I read basically said what you said just in a more long winded way, lol.

41 here, I was there too. It’s not that bad, just take care of yourself now. At your age I ate fast food, never exercised, and basically lived on caffeine, nicotine, and stress endorphins from working all the time. Now at my last check up, I’m overweight, my knees are shot, my back hurts all the time, and I have chronic acid reflux.
You are young enough that you can get a head start on aging, what you should do daily is exercise, eat healthy, and take some personal time/mental health time for yourself everyday to reduce stress. You don’t want to end up like me and be facing a huge uphill battle to get healthy.

I’m familiar with the prisoners dilemma but not the stag hunt aspect, I’ll have to take your word for it until I have time to read up on that.

Look at it this way, in a small town people are more likely to be kind and offer higher quality information when asked. The same things can be said about lemmy.

La-A, it’s pronounced La-Dash-A
My mom taught nursing and La-A was one of her students, she said her mother had her at 15 after dropping out of highschool her freshman year and wanted a unique name for her.
- Comment on Being single 3 weeks ago:
LoL, two words I would not use to describe myself, hot and dad. Though I admit at this point in my life it is difficult to find someone who doesn’t have children. Yeah I know I’m gameable, that’s probably something that subconsciously is holding me back. I know that when I fall for someone, I fall hard. It’s not “thinking with the wrong head” it’s thinking “don’t screw this up because you’ll be alone forever”. Maybe now that I’m comfortable being alone I can be a bit more relaxed in a relationship.

Well for me it’s the twist-tie until I get down to the last few slices then I just spin the bag and fold it back over itself.
Why the twist-tie wasn’t listed is beyond me since I’ve never seen a store that didn’t have them as the majority of closure mechanisms.
Also, bottle cap? I honestly have no idea what that’s about.

Yeah, I googled “I’ve been waiting for this moment, Phil Collins” and multiple results showed up with the same answer. Should have opened up the lyrics and actually read them…
- Comment on Being single 3 weeks ago:
There were 5 that were toxic, the first one was a casual friend I ended up getting close with and started dating before we ever had sex. The next two were casual hookup partners that evolved into relationships, the fourth was actually a friend I had had since highschool and only started dating 15 years after graduation, and the fifth and final one was again a casual hookup that turned serious.
I admit as I wrote that out I saw the issue. In defense of the fourth one, she had some issues with her childhood, and the father of her children was … let’s just say not helping. We’ve reconnected after some time and are still friends, but agreed dating was a bad idea.

Seriously I knew it didn’t sound right but multiple Google results showed what I wrote so I figured I was remembering it incorrectly. Thanks for the correction.

Just to finish out the post title.
For all my life, hold on.
There, that was going to bug me.
