Hell, even if you can easily afford way more than that, you are still closer to the person who can only afford $2 of food a day than a billionaire.

There’s only one grocery store in my city that bakes a specific type of bread from my homr country. I make sure to buy 2 packs almost every week so they notice that they are being bought and don’t stop making them.

Spam or sardines are great with egg and fried rice too.

I was thinking of getting a keypad, but I’ll definitely have a manual deadbolt along with it because I’m paranoid of it failing, so I’ll likely still be locked out either way.

Edit: I realized a deadbolt has to be locked from the outside, so maybe I won’t be locked out in that case.

Last night, when I was waiting in the car for my wife and we realized after she got in that her bag, where the house keys were, was still inside. She thought I had the bag with me in the car. Had to call a 24/7 locksmith because it was late in the evening.

Choosing a favorite is hard and it changes a lot for me. This time I’ll choose Porcupine Tree and recommend their album In Absentia.

They download apps for all kinds of bullshit because all their friends and people they follow are on there. They won’t install a messaging app if none of the people they interact with are there. It’s not specific to messaging. I was able to convince my immediate family to move to Signal just for our family group chats. It’s not much but it’s a start.

My electric bill last month was $14.62. That's with a $64.51 solar credit. But then I pay a $50 lease on the solar panels. I don't understand how my utility charges with tiers so I'll put the details here for people who know better than me:

Tier 1 first 300 kWh at $0.04088 per kWh

Tier 2 next 260 kWh at $0.04643 per kWh

Regulatory Charges 560 kWh at $0.01374 per kWh

Power Supply Adjustment 560 kWh at $0.04598 per kWh

Power Supply Administrative Adjustment 560 kWh at $0.00724 per kWh

Information Security is so hard to explain to old people who don’t know much about technology. My grandparents back then (late 2000s) never understood it no matter how I explained it, and they thought I was a security guard at the bank I worked at. You could also see the disappointment in their faces thinking how someone who took IT in college ended up as a security guard.

If the major social media companies still exist by then, I think it will still be the same as it is now. Maybe a bit more users, but still a minority in the space.

MAPPA has some great ones. Chainsaw Man was great.
