About 75% of LED monitors give me a headache because I can see or “feel” then flickering. It sucks.
I had a coworker back in the in-office days who had these garbage-ass monitors and whenever I had to pair with him I’d end up with a debilitating headache.
I pay enough taxes to support 125 $750 users like this and would gladly pay it, too. 125 people that are better off would have a significant positive impact to a community, and I’m all for it.
Also money that they spend, somewhere at some point would likely be taxed.
I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I’m honest I’m probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.
That way on a day to day basis I know if I’m trending up…or down…or what have you. If my “daily” cost to exist passes some threshold, it’s cause for alarm.
Anybody else have consistently awful experiences with them? They used to be good maybe 10 years ago but since then, every experience I’ve had with them from mobile to home Internet has just been fucking terrible!
I resemble this…sort of. Except my car is already paid for and I really don’t think it’s a wise decision to just blow money on another car simply to get out of a current vehicle that more than meets my needs.
Suppose you win 100 million. What do you actually do with it? Banks only guarantee 250,000. Do you have to invest it? Is there anywhere you can just let it sit and draw interest?
In BG3 you can put a potion on the ground between multiple people and hit it, and everyone splashed is healed. So, yes, the whole magic aspect of your explanation and not needing to actually swallow it seems to make sense (in BG3).

Satisfied enough, I guess. I make a little over half a million a year. Thing is, I burn about $30k/mo right now trying to keep my small businesses afloat (debts from mid-covid, payroll, medical benefits for employees). A little less than $10k/mo goes to my own bills, savings, retirement, health, etc. Rest usually goes back to the community or local charitable causes.
I take zero money out of my businesses and haven’t for 3 years or so now.
What would be great is if I could get back to where the businesses are self-sustaining, but the last few COVID years changed so much that I’m beginning to doubt it’s possible and at the moment I don’t have the heart to just shut them down or leave the employees without a job.
But, I can’t work 80 hours+ a week forever. I have a family too. I think it will help once the debts are paid off, but just trend/trajectory-wise it will still take some additional foot traffic and sales growth that I’m just not sure will happen anymore.
Honestly, early on, I wasn’t reliably finding them. But that lasted maybe 6 months?
If I have a 6mo contract for example, I’m still applying for a couple jobs every week. I’m keeping in touch with recruiters that don’t suck at their job and building rapport with them. I’m pinging prior coworkers and just seeing who/what they know is available.
Obviously, soft skills and resume matter too. I have enough buzzy technologies under my belt that it increases the breadth of jobs I can apply for, which helps.
Yeah, it was rough at first, but not like…I was destitute by any means. And now with enough of a network built up I’m relatively confident that even if shit hit the fan, I could find a job inside of 2 weeks.
If you’re in the US (or I guess anywhere?) - just make sure to account for taxes…
