Oh look, it's me. Except I've put in 600 applications in 6 months without a single response. 15 years as a Devops engineer at fortune 100 companies, and can't make it to round one.

We had a chance at Star Trek, we decided to aim for Firefly instead.

Find a few sheets of stickers that you like. Every time you do something thats hard, write it down and give yourself a sticker. Then when you're having a bad day, you can look at the list of shit you've accomplished, and the awesome stickers you've earned.

They allow up to 5 allergies/dislikes. The difference is cost. By putting together 3 meals with one set of ingredients, it really helps cut the cost of food down.

Requesting your W2s from the IRS requires you to have the card, or 1 of 10 other documents that usually have xxx-xx as the first 5 of the number.

As an aside, the first 5 can be determined if you know what state and year someone was born in.

Sorted food does a free trial. They have a bunch of meal packs. 3 dishes scaled to however many people you're cooking for that share ingredients. The app even has a grocery list. You could go through, grab the recipes and grocery lists that look good, then cancel. I believe one of their goals is to save you enough money that it's worth paying them.

I'm a food nerd, and use it weekly. Mostly for the grocery list. Pick a pack that sounds good, grab the grocery list, and know that I have 3 meals worth of food. The recipes I've tried have been solid, but mostly I just look at the ingredients that are sitting there and make something. It forces me into verity, instead of just grabbing the same shit at the store every time.

Albania. It's nice here. There's a construction worker shortage, and no shortage of jobs for teachers that speak English. You can even show up and hang out for up to a year with no visa.

As an American living in Albania, everyone from here is trying to leave. I don't get it. More than 96% of people here own their homes. Not have mortgages, own. The cost of living is basically nothing, even when accounting for local wages. I'm like why would you want to move to the US or UK? Do you want to work 16 hours a day so you can eat and have shelter? Do you have some desire to have work be the only thing you can do? It's baffling.

I have a couple of uses for my steamdeck. The vast majority of the time it sits in my living room. I use it while I'm watching TV with my wife. The ability to pick it up, resume whatever I'm playing right where I left off is great.

The other use is when I'm traveling. It's smaller than a laptop, desktop mode is a fully functional Linux operating system, and it connects to any hdmi port with a small dock. That means I can use it to game, and connect it to the TV in the hotel room and watch whatever I want.

I'm around. I'm an American living in Albania. I don't post much, but am willing to step up. I've been supporting the instance since it was created.

Yeah. I'm a huge ghostbusters nerd. I really enjoyed it. There's one quick change that could be made that would have made it tons better. Set it in Boston and make them a franchisee. Making it a spinoff instead of a reboot.
