The wife and I are planning to take the family to Salem, Massachusetts next year for Halloween. Apparently they go pretty hard there.

My work history is ok; I have solid interview and writing skills, which is more important to most places I think. Mostly because I apply for a lot of things I'm not really qualified for or that pay too little just for the interviews.

Late reply, but I suppose you're correct; I think the option to choose what to install, the lack of pre-created desktop stuff ("home/$username/Videos" for example) and the requirement that you handle software that isn't in the base install all make a Slackware installation less bloated than most. Maybe not at install time, but over the life of the install you end up with less garbage IMHO.

Healed up (late reply and all), I dig the book, but the dialog is painful, much more than the vasectomy

I haven't had a problem with it, but it's definitely similar to Hong Kong Kung Fu dialog, which I just have to promise myself I'll ignore stylistically

I work in IT, I make much more money than I should/need and I work from home in a pair of basketball shorts and a T-shirt while barefoot. I would just apply for everything, eventually you're gonna hit someone who isn't hung up on image, and the rest will make your interview skills just that much better.

HOW IS THIS NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE???? I've already had my kids and got a vasectomy. It would be so good to have photos like these hanging on the walls for when my boys bring home partners.

I second Zoneminder, used it at a job way back in the day and it was solid.

Weekend was good. On Monday I plan to keep healing up from my vasectomy Thursday, planning to work on the 3-4 projects I have assigned at work while listening to The Three Body Problem audiobook from my local library.
Generally I work too much; I keep getting raises but I don't need more money, I need more life.

I'm having good luck with wger as well. Been using it for about a year.

If you hate bloat you like Slackware. It doesn't assume anything about how you want to use your computer, so it's more painful for a lot of folks. Other distros will try to do things for you and will ultimately end up doing something someone doesn't want. With Slackware you learn a lot and you get a rock-solid system that will do whatever you like, but you have to be willing to manage it.

Not too bad from the accounts I've heard; my wife trained for this before we stopped doing body art. A lot of women get it when their hands shake too badly to apply makeup well.

Brad Pitt is too old now, and not large enough. Henry Cavill.
See title; I'm considering it, but the courses bundles are *expensive*
I hate the prep work for these but it always ends up being worth it.
I have a friend in Indiana that's currently going blind (he's legally blind and has a degenerative condition, I honestly don't know the exact specifics of his diagnosis). He's currently worried about losing his job, financial security, etc. I get the feeling that he's really not planning ahead - everything I hear from him is regarding the impending loss of his house, who will care for his dogs, and how there's no help in his area. I've looked up resources in Indiana and found a lot and sent them to him, but part of my (admittedly uninformed) advice has been to move to an area that's more walkable (he still has his drivers license but shouldn't be driving as he has almost no peripheral vision) and an area with a lower LOC (he says rent is around 2-3k for an apartment, in my area it's closer to 1k for a small house), things like that. His job is remote, but he's worried about losing it as his sight degrades, since he has to see the screen at the moment, but I'm advising to look into screen reader assistive tech for that (which the company should provide). I guess my question is: how realistic is my advice versus his concerns? I feel like he should be looking for a new location RIGHT NOW while he isn't forced to make a decision, I feel like there are more resources than he realizes, and I feel like his area is pretty expensive compared to some of the lower COL locations in the country. If anyone has any experiences in this sort of situation I'd appreciate your take on what he should be planning for, or really any sort of advice to give him.
Super stoked about using Piped. I've created an account on piped.video, found a playlist, all that; I can't figure out how to play all the items in the playlist though - I seem to only be able to play them individually. How do I play everything in a playlist without having to select them individually each time? I'm using the browser interface at the moment.
I've been fostering a family member for a month or so, and it all came to a head today. My wife and I tried, but the behavior was just too much for us to feel safe with our existing children. I hate that we're giving up and I hate the circumstances that caused this, but it is what it is. If you're in the same place please don't beat yourself up; sometimes you can want something really bad and it still not be right for you.
I've got 4 10-ish lb pork butts in the smoker for a party on the 4th and I'm about to fire up the grill for some ribeyes; we have two briskets in the fridge I'm gonna start on Tuesday morning, so I'm getting my mileage outta Weber this week!
