The restore kit I used worked well. But, if you’d feel better replacing the whole unit, which you already know will haze and yellow over time, feel free.

Wait. You guys fold your sheets?

They’re clearly using “illegal immigrants” as cover for imprisoning and deporting as many non-whites as they can. It’s an excuse by white supremacist nazis to start a new “final solution”. They’re currently building new concentration camps.

Because the filthy rich don’t care if anyone dies.

I checked my stash of old phones a few months ago, none of them would even boot. I just put them back on the shelf, I suppose they’ll be there till I die.

My new phone is a 12.

For me, it was always through work. Meeting co-workers after work, and meeting other people that way.

You do need to make an effort, though, instead of excuses.

Prolly using AI and cameras instead of people to check quality now.

Yeah, that’s when I replaced mine, too. When they became too sensitive. They lasted about 16 years.

Due to an inheritance of barely-enough money, I got to retire at age 55. I might need to go back to work in a few years, I don’t know yet. But, I’ve very much enjoyed doing practically nothing even though I’d like to have enough to travel, etc. which I don’t. I do miss the collaboration on solving problems, but I don’t miss the raft of other bullshit “office politics” that goes along with that. The one does not make up for the other, not even close. Neither do I miss putting aside my occasional moral misgivings about a project in exchange for money. Nor do I miss watching the boss/owner make obviously stupid decisions and then watching the fallout, after not listening to me or anyone else.

Finding a perfect job is not going to happen for the vast majority of us. We make do with what we can get, and often that causes long-term stress that is unhealthy.

What desire I have to “be useful” or “contribute” and the pleasure I sometimes got from a job well done pales in comparison to the daily stress of working. Even low-level long-term stress takes a big toll over time. And, none of us are compensated nearly enough in money or time off to mitigate that.

People want to work, and want to contribute and collaborate, and feel useful. But, the work society we’ve allowed to be set up for us is not for that. It’s for wringing every last second of useful to-the-rich effort out of us, while compensating us at the minimum level we’ll accept without chopping their heads off, with the rest going to them. Generation after generation for the past 80 years, they’ve been compensating us less and demanding more. Now we’re close to being virtually enslaved, owning nothing and working to barely survive, assuming we’re healthy enough to do so, otherwise being discarded.

How long have you worked there?

How long have they been in business?

Is the business stable and well-ran? Do you even know?

The unicorn job.

Okay, you do you.

I admire the French. I’d have liked to have been born French.

Since I wasn’t, though, I have no desire to visit France. France is for the French, and I’m not French.

I dunno, can’t parents just keep their kids in a box till they’re 18 and can become productive, compliant wage slaves, like everyone else.

Love them. I’d prefer they didn’t have runny yolks, but I will eat them that way, and any other way.

I could eat a dozen hard-boiled eggs a day, except that would make me sick. I tried to use eggs to up my protein intake several years ago, I was eating four a day, but that upset my tummy. I can have one a day, but usually I only have about three a week, because I don’t really need them, I just like them, so I spend my food budget elsewhere.

In typesetting, numbers ten and under are always spelled out, and also numbers at the start of a sentence of any size. Numbers one, through ninety-nine are hyphenated if spelled out, ninety-nine percent of typesetters agree. Also, the “and” is frowned upon. It should be “three hundred and twenty-seven”, if quoting, if that is what was said, but three hundred twenty-seven otherwise.

However, numerals in text is fine, outside of the limitations above, and there are lowercase numerals in many classic typefaces that are less jarring to the eye in body type than the uppercase numerals.

Consider the number, 1,234,567. Spelled out, it’s one million two hundred thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven. That’s cumbersome. That would almost always be written with numerals, and not spelled out. And, a sentence including it should be written to keep it from the beginning.

(Yes, children, I said sixty-seven, please try to contain yourselves.)

I’ve never so much as touched a gun and I know all of this. I suppose I’ve just absorbed it through constant contact in my peripheral. Recent movies are getting trigger discipline better, but TV shows still get it wrong.
