Anything social to do? Find a class or workshop for something you enjoy. Go to a bar (they often have games), library, college campus, public park with courts to play on, etc. theres always things to do.

It really upsets me that block web browser apps… WTF.

So now we have to get apps that get all types of information from the device instead. Huge NO for me.

If they do delete the video, they might still take a screen capture or something.

Firefox focus browser. Single tab browser but blocks ads. Works for YouTube.

If you look down at anything, they will say it’s a phone.

It will be used against you at every opportunity.

I think some are called “maker space” and I think it’s like a membership you pay and you gain access to a full shop of tools.

Maybe consider living in a vehicle.

When I had to move out due to abusive family, I lived in my car for several months traveling and looking for my future home.

I had time to setup the car like a mini camper. Had everything I needed. Twin bed, fridge, solar power, etc. I recommend watching the YouTube “cheap rv living” and other channels about car camping. It’s quite affordable to live in a vehicle and not pay rent, utilities, etc.

As others said the gym is a great place for showers.

There is a patch to update macOS when it’s not compatible. One I have used before is from dosdude1.

You can also put Linux on it, or dual boot. Older Intel Macs I remember being really wasy, the T2 Mac’s need special drivers but it’s not too hard, and the new Mac’s have ashai Linux.

Way back when AOL was on floppies there was software called AOHELL that would generate fake name, address, and fake CC just to sign up for AOL free 40 hours.

I’m sure credit cards were always a problem. I think the first 4 or 8 numbers of the card are the issuing bank and location. Something like that. So it’s super predictable.

News often makes thing feel very powerful and negative.

From what I saw on some prepper videos, they suggest being prepared for anything then you won’t have to worry as much.

Start a little garden, collect rain water, have a small solar setup, collect can foods, grains, beans, etc.

Try to prepare in ways that help you not worry. Keep low profile too, don’t get attention for your preparations.

While you are preparing for anything, you are distracting yourself from the negative news.

I used to have my lights change color when I had motion in the driveway, and dim at night.

I also had a button for bedtime, it would turn off the main lights, turn on dim red lights, then it would turn on the TV. When I was ready to sleep I had one button that turned the black lights UV light on for a minute, then it turned off the TV and the red lights. Then I would sleep with glow in the dark stars.

I gave up on smart watches. Pain to charge them constantly and I feel it’s another spying device.

“Call Jenny”

GPT: calling 8675309

No, call Jenny in my contacts.

GPT: oh sorry, you don’t have Jenny contacts in your contacts.

Ugh 😩

If they used AI, then I consider they lost all credibility.

I miss stumbleupon browser extension, it would take me to the fucking coolest websites and crazy awesome stuff. Fuck the company that bought it out and trashed it.

When an artist signs their work, they are proud of their work. You’re editing out their name, removing their credit after all they did. Your reposting it shows you like their work, but you remove their credit. Fuck you beep. It’s so fucking disrespectful to edit out credit!!! Look how many down votes you have!!!

Stubbs the zombie

I have a much larger BLUETTI that powers everything. We do not have power from the power company. It’s a quick hassle free way to setup offgrid power. I can run the microwave, air fryer, AC, welder, etc. I like that it’s all self contained and it actually outputs the power it says.

I tried the individual 12v 100Ah batteries and inverter, but these inverters all lie how much power they put out. My 1,200w inverter will beep if i use more then 350w. My 1,500 and 2,000w inverters also barely put out power. Kind of lost confidence in these cheap 12v inverters.

My plan is to setup a much bigger 48v system such as a EG4 system to power my house, once i finally build that.

My late intel MacBook has:

MacOS - Windows 10 - Linux

It’s RARE I use win/Mac but it’s great for that once every few months that I need to run some specific tool.

From what I have seen they call it a “rehoming fee” for their free animals…
