OP didn’t say anything about their financial situation, so we can only speculate.

Maybe they’re a landlord. Maybe they have a hedge fund. Maybe they’ve made good financial decisions in the past and have a big buffer saved up. Maybe they just sold their yacht and have a lot of cash burning in their pocket.

OP never said anything about being light on money.

It’s actually easier when you don’t have to plan your travel around your work schedule.

The first week at any job is always exhausting. There’s a lot to take in, and a lot of active decision-making to do. It gets better fast when a lot of small things start going on autopilot.

Long commutes add to the suck.

I always say that thinking before speaking is a bit like wiping before going number two.

Maybe that’s why I don’t have any friends.

Me, too. I’ve got some extra buoyancy on account of being fat.

While servicing my sailing yacht I dropped a part of the furler in the water while docked. A new piece was stupidly expensive and would take two weeks to get, while I was cruising on a schedule.

So I dropped the anchor and climbed down the chain to look for it. At the end my wife found it. We probably spent a good three hours diving and feeling around in the soft mud for it.

Meow!

DIPSTICK to enable chests in rise of the trial. SEEYA for god mode where the protagonist just walks around with his hand of God yawning at how boring it is when there’s no challenge. CUJO for dog mode.

Also, LONDON and NODNOL to enable/disable fog.

Use btrfs-convert to convert ext4 to btrfs.

NTFS is 31 years old and not modern by any standard. Avoid if you care about your data.

Well, sure. If you did it wrong the first time around. For everyone else, just run “btrfs scrub <device>”

Use a modern filesystem that manages file integrity for you.

I use btrfs.

Don’t forget to scrub and checksum your drive before making backups. You don’t want to copy over rotten bits.

Same goes for the backup. And the backup’s backup.

I won a keg of beer on the entry ticket to a local beer festival.

A local hotel/chateau had organised it. They had failed with their marketing, and managed to pick the same weekend as a much larger beer festival in the same city.

I got ticket #26 on day 1, Saturday. I don’t think they sold more than ten tickets after me that day. I walked past with my dogs the following day and there were like four people there.

Oh, and I also won the demo competition at a local demoparty. First prize was a bag of chips and a brush for doing dishes.

And the 64k intro competition at the biggest demoparty at the time. First prize was a big-ass box of sponsored hardware - graphics cards and processors and stuff.
