I used to use the prepaid approach a lot, but recently it seems like some companies are rejecting them. Mainly seeing it happen with subscription based services.

Inside I keep extra meds and a small gun safe. On top is usually water, Nintendo DS, a book, and my jewelry. When I’m lazy you’ll find little nebulizer vials on top too.
I’m working on an indie game that deals with Space Sciences. I’m nearby a well-known university for aerospace and space sciences and could use some guidance from people that know the subject well.

Mainly about asteroids, their trajectories, and potential composition but from a slightly fictional perspective. I want to make certain things accurate and believable while still getting a little creative.

I understand your point. But science has also shown us over time that things we thought were magic were actually things we can figure out. Consciousness is definitely up there in that category of us not fully understanding it. So what might seem like magic now, might be well-understood science later.
Not able to provide links at the moment, but there are also examples on the other side of the argument that lead us to think that maybe consciousness isn’t fully tied to physical components. Sure, the brain might interface with senses, consciousness, and other parts to give us the whole experience as a human. But does all of that equate to consciousness? Is the UI of a system the same thing as the user?
The placement you laid out looks good but without knowing the size of the pot, it’s hard to tell what size bit. Maybe a 1/2”-3/4” bit? And mayyybe adding another 2 holes.
One thing I would recommend though is to use a small bit to start your hole, then move up to the bigger bit. Don’t put too much pressure on the drill so you don’t crack the plastic. Let the drill and bit do the work.
Lockpicking maybe? Just recently got into it as a bucket list hobbies but it’s actually really entertaining. They sell practice cutaway locks that fit easily in one hand as you fidget about with the lock picks.
True, cutaway locks aren’t needed. I recently heard of a neat idea where you can call around various storage businesses and ask if they have cut locks from people who lost their unit. It won’t be useful to lock anything but great for practice. Unfortunately the one near me throws theirs away regularly so I need to call around more to see what I can find.
“…that any USG [US government] investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon] represented extraterrestrial technology”.
Could it be clever wording? It doesn’t represent extraterrestrial tech if they found that UAP sightings originate from Earth somehow.
Would it be making the time for vacations or gatherings? Or if your job requires overtime, you lose out on the time with your family. Do you ever speak up about it or just let things even out?
Just recently got out of a really well-paying full time, work from home programming gig because of difficulty with finding that balance. Not having to commute obviously saves me a ton of time in the day, but it started becoming really hard to separate work from home.
But the hardest part was the lack of energy and mental space to really enjoy my time with the family. I struggled hard with keeping work thoughts away when not “at work”. Some days I would try to start work a little early to have more time in the afternoon, but then by the time the kids were home from school, settled, homework, showers, dinner, I was totally shot. I was either super tired, in a funk from a crappy day, or on the rare days I was good, they wanted to do their own thing which they totally have the right to do.
This was probably due to the work environment always being high-pressure and getting constant promises of better a pace for the team that never came, so if the job was a little better I would’ve maybe not have dealt with those issues.
I’m looking for easy and cheap options for lunches on weekdays. I mostly eat deli sandwiches and hot dogs right now and I always feel like shit after eating them. I think I need something healthier but I don’t have time over my lunch hour to cook anything too fancy. What do you all do for reliable healthy easy lunches?
Not sure if you work from home, but if so, canned chicken can go a long way. You can make quick quesadillas, chicken salads, make rice the day or morning before and mix that with some sautéed canned chicken with olive oil and seasonings of your choice.
Another quick go to for me is gluten free nuggets and chicken patties. IMO they’re even tastier than the other common options. A little pricier though but well worth it.
This probably isn’t possible, but I traded in an old MacBook Air and chose to get the cash added to my Apple account. However, at the minute it just pays some of my subscriptions automatically, and I was wondering if I can withdraw it somehow?...
