I’ve been jobless for a year and recently found a job again as well. After my first day I was so exhausted, it was unbelievable. I literally came home after work, made and had some food, chilled on discord with a friend for an hour and was already too tired, so I went to bed after being awake for about 12h.

Starting a new job, a new chapter of your life is exhausting. You learn a lot of new things, you get a lot of new impressions. All this requires the gray matter in your skull to work pretty hard.

Now, even with mentally demanding jobs, you’ll form routines that make things easier. Not just stuff like a morning routine or your route to work, but also work processes become easier after you get into the groove. On top of that, with time there are less new things you need to remember, like names of your coworkers, your offices layout, or what bus to take.

It gets easier with time. Hang in there.

There’s plenty of games with low hardware requirements

omg thanks for this

Oh, nice! That’s definitely valuable info. Personally, I do think it’s too much work to implement that properly, though.

Fair enough, I haven’t given that too much thought myself until now. After playing around with Firefox’s URL cleaning, I realized there are some parameters I want to keep. So, by clean I mean removing all unnecessary parameters in the URL.

For example, https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw would become https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw keeps it’s parameter, because it is necessary.

I guess replicating the logic for deciding which parameters to keep is not trivial, so the easiest solution is probably just manually pasting links into firefox, and just copying them cleanly from there. Thanks for providing some code, though!

When I moved recently my PC suddenly stopped booting.

Before transport I removed the GPU so the PCB wouldn’t crack, but my motherboard was showing that it got stuck in the GPU check when booting, so I thought I accidentally broke the GPU by shocking it with static, or popping off some capacitor or something. I still wanted to rule out everything else before buying a new GPU though.

I kept replugging things, thinking it might be a connection that came loose during transport, I reseated the RAM, I tried just one RAM stick, I even reseated the CPU.

Turns out, somehow a CMOS reset fixed it. I’m still confused as to why that worked.

Username checks out

I was smart enough pretty early on to have 2 main email accounts - one “serious” one for job applications and more private accounts like online banking, and a spam account with as little of my personal info linked to it as possible.

Ask stupid question, get stupid answers

Ever heard of google?

My Dad once gifted me a bazinga shirt. I don’t watch the big bang theory.

why do I get out of bed in the morning, and why should anyone care

What if I dont know the answer to that question myself?

I’m assuming I’ll be smart enough to not get hit by a cat. Fair point about natural predators tho.

I think I’d like to be an outside cat for some rich family lol

Sounds like you’re just not big on bananas

I like to make banana milk with those really brown bananas. In fact, I let them age just so they are nice and sweet.

I take 1 or 2 bananas, break them in chunks and put them in a measuring cup that holds around 1L, add a bit of vanilla extract, fill with milk to cover banana chunks, blend with a stick blender until smooth, fill milk to the top, blend a bit more just to mix everything, done. Serves one (me) or two (regular) people.

Days? Try hours.

So you like 'em young and hard?

Sorry.

Honestly sounds delicious

I’m dreading the day my bad mouth hygiene will catch up to me… I know how bad it is but I still can’t get myself to brush every night.
