Oh dear dog, it is already? FML…
That’s the neat part!
Damn, UP nearly killed me! I mean, he loses Elli (yes, i know that name and it made it hit doubly hard) AND the dog?
(Also, there seems to be an updog joke hidden somewhere in here, but I can’t seem to find it.)
Yeah man, all the time, and for the stupidest shit. Everything from children’s series to grown-up movies. My wife sometimes side-eyes me for it, but she’s not much better herself and usually, when one of us cries the other one joins in. It’s become a cute thing between us to catch or make the other one do it first, and I love it. Also, it’s a way to teach my little son that it’s OK to cry and not a matter of shame. Yes, ugly cry as well. Yes, also in front of others.
For reference I’m a 39 year old dude, not that it matters.
EDIT because I saw it in the thread: Lyrics! I have songs that I can’t listen to while driving, because I can’t drive while I ugly cry because that wouldn’t be safe.
One thing that especially hits me are acts of selflessness, be it in fiction or the actual real world. We have semi-regular floods on the river meat where I live, and I usually try to volunteer to help out with sand barriers. And everytime just seeing all those people coming together in their free time, getting wet and dirty and sweaty and exhausted, not expecting a single thing, just because it’s the right thing to do and because apparently we look after one another in this 600k people city… Just typing it out makes me tear up again.
I like what the Hitchhiker’s Guide proposed: have their clothes make one step to the left. Or, even better for some people (esp. men): do it with their makeup. Perhaps fake teeth/hair.
Also, why manipulate the mug they’re drinking out of when you can manipulate the fluid inside of it?
You could tie their shoe strings mid walk… Constantly switch the key caps on their keyboard around (you just know they have to look down while typing)…
Damn those are fine reasons to be proud! We all despise ourselves, I sure know I do, because we see the inside of our heads. But we also have to look beyond that. You seem like a good person; I hope you get through your struggles soon.
Thank you for asking, that was actually a wonderful way to start my morning to early. :-D You can be proud for instilling that feeling in people, or at the very least in me.
What about you, @TehBamski, what else are you proud of?
I’m too lazy to search for the image I usually use.
I misread the same way, and the quote is:
Hey Priscilla, what do you call a three-humped camel?
A lot of it is just Kant’s categorical imperative: “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.”
Also leave the camp better than you found it, because small improvements add up.
That’s not something to buy or rent, that’s something personal, something you carve yourself! Preferably on a sunny day in the park, where people can approach you about it. /s
Sorry I can’t be genuinely helpful, I always just kinda slipped into my relationships and an generally quite, no, very clueless. All the best for OP though.

go to therapy to show that you are really working on yourself.
More specifically, you should go to therapy to really work on yourself. Not to show anyone anything; you’re not trying to make this a performance. The change well be visible by itself, given time and work.
Past decisions aside, good on you for trying to make things better. All the best for you two!
I run a J5040 ITX board for my homelab needs, which has been released a few years ago and has served me well, even through I run it with more RAM than the board specs allow. The natural successors of that are the Atom N100/N105 and the i3 N300/N305 (all 1 Gen newer than J5040) and AFAIK the Atom N150 and i3 N350 (2 Gen newer), all of which are available on ITX boards. Models for the latest chips might be a but rare though, and you might have to go to AliExpress to get one, but for the N100/105/300/305, there’s a wide variety available. Just make sure to get one with enough SATA ports for all your disks, so you can use it for NAS as well.
Disclaimer: I’m quite sure this is enough for your homelab/NAS use-case, but I’m not familiar with Minecraft requirements, and you might need beefier hardware for that. However, the above boards leave enough room in your budget for RAM, NVMe and HDDs, should deliver quite some bang for the little buck you have, and will barely sip energy, making cooling easy.
Interesting option, I’m familiar with Git, YAML and yq
. Thank you!
Uuuuh, thank you for the info, it’s very much appreciated!
Well, I do have a PaperlessNGX already, so I could use a custom field for SerialNo or something like that, but I just feel like PNGX isn’t really designed for this task.
Not at all, I like .md
, and I’m familiar with Git. A spreadsheet is not something that I would throw into Git, but an .md

This! I won the birth lottery big time, why would I want to live anywhere/-when else?
