Definitely recommend looking while you still have a job like others have said. I will say, I’ve left one extremely toxic workplace in my life and I actually ended up making more money at a place that is better for my mental health. So it can definitely work out that way

How could they? At the end of the day isn’t it up to the states to decide who their electoral votes go?

Same. Most of the other ones give me a bit of a “five nights at Freddie’s” vibe for some reason

I missed this, was it from the convention? Is there a particular quote?

We’ve used the Amazon firestick before and it worked well. Currently we use the google chromecast/tv dongle for both ours tvs.

Nice thing about the google one is that it makes any Google movie/tv show purchases available, and Amazon movie purchases are still available through the Amazon video app.

But they’re pretty comparable. Depends mostly on what ecosystem you’re in or would prefer to be in.

Roku anything

I have a tv from them and one day the PBS kids app just stopped working. I contacted customer support and they just told me it was the app developer’s fault, nothing to be done. Waited months thinking it would eventually resolve but never did.

And recently where they:

  1. Blocked people from using their tvs until they accepted a new agreement and
  2. Filed for a patent that defines how they can start overlaying ads on top of other connected devices over hdmi

Glad I shut off wifi to my tv years ago and plugged in a separate smart tv hdmi dongle. And not getting anywhere near anything that says Roku on the packaging again.

But you have to go to a liquor store to purchase wine…

Not sure what phone os you use but some of what you’re describing is built into iOS’s “drive” focus. And it can automatically turn on when your phone connects to your car’s Bluetooth. I’ve been using it for years now.

I agree with the sentiment around getting into government work. I somewhat stumbled into my current job but love a lot of things about it. Our company contracts with the US federal government and I work specifically with the VA.

Don’t know what specific skills you have experience in but I know we’re pretty much always hiring: https://oddball.io/jobs/

I can’t read that article without being logged in but, based on your username, I’m guessing it says it’s a fuel trap?

I will say, this video from Climate Town was pretty eye opening for me on the topic of natural gas today: https://youtu.be/K2oL4SFwkkw?si=TYax0lIF3CZsPPjx

Because the assumption that your “dreams” are to make as much money as possible
