Damn that’s a great idea! Cheers!

Yeah. I go to the post office semi-regularly and I see people complain about this problem; the employees just roll their eyes and say to mark the mail.

Not going to say I haven’t done that but I’d rather stop receiving it at all.

What do you do after doing this for 4+ years for the same person and bank, and you’ve gone as far as showing up in person at the bank’s local branch?

I’ve been doing this for 4+ years for the same person and bank. I even showed up in person to the local branch and spoke to a manager. I’m having the same problem as OP; it never ends.

What’s more: no one (landlord, neighbors) knows who this person is. They’ve even got a business registered at my apartment.

I either feed it the list of ingredients or it finds them itself if it’s a popular item. It’s good at guessing the proportions of the ingredients if you’ve got the label.

If money weren’t an issue I’d go back to working in fast food or a warehouse. I miss busting ass and being able to clock out at the end of the day.

I always say “web application developer” because I don’t want to be considered a “web designer” (which I consider to mean designing static websites for businesses like restaurants).

I can’t be too specific without giving away my location, but I’ve recreated a sauce that was sold by a vegan restaurant I used to go to that sold out to a meat-based chain (and no longer makes the sauce).

The second recipe was the seasoning used by a restaurant from my home state. In this case the AI was rather stupid: its first stab completely sucked and when I told it it said something along the lines of “well employees say it has these [totally different] ingredients” then got it right.

I’ve used LLMs to reverse engineer some recipes.

It isn’t here either. That’s over the course of ~2 years but I’m not wealthy by any means either. I’m lucky to not rely on it for work, so I can wait and take my time repairing it when needed.

Well the good news is that after I dumped a ton of money into it, it’s running smooth and still looks pretty new. It’s a Typ 8P A3 hatchback which are kind of rare here in the US.

The impression I got from the car history was that owner #2 drove it pretty hard and never maintained it. I’m dreaded owner #3.

I bought a 10 year Audi for $5,000 (USD) but then spent something like $10-15,000 in repairs because I’m an idiot.

Quitting nicotine. I wanted to quit so that I could get in shape without almost dying, but after two months of rigorous exercise and healthy eating I just feel depressed, incredibly bored (the dopamine from exercise was nice at first but doesn’t really help now) and I’m now 10 lbs heavier than I was to begin with.

As a person in that demographic it’s wild to me that leftism isn’t appealing… we’re supposed to just blame everything on everyone but ourselves I suppose?

I feel you. My first jobs were in fast food, then Walmart, then warehouse jobs after that. So even though I’m a web developer now I still have that eternal frustration with people moving too slow.

What I always thought to be my first memory. I explained it to my mother and she said she only lived in the place I described for the first six months of my life.

I always thought it was fake because I thought it was impossible to have memories that early on in life.

That kind of phrasing always seems they assume that not believing is the same as rejecting and therefore you too believe in the existence of God/god.

They just completely miss the point.

I live in Los Angeles and I’d say that people being completely unaware of their surroundings and other people.

People don’t move out of the way unless you confront them with a loud “excuse me” and that’s a gamble because they might try to start shit with you.

While driving people don’t move to the rightmost part of the street to get out of the way while making a right turn despite the right lane (usually) being super wide to allow for flowing traffic.

When ordering at a food establishment, people don’t decide what to order before/during the time they’re in line. Instead, everyone looks kind of annoyed that it’s taking so long but once they reach the counter it’s their turn to leisurely browse the menu, ask stupid questions, etc and hold up the line.

My motto is “don’t these people have anywhere to be? Anything to do?” I’m originally from the Midwest so it’s weird to me that people move this slow and act so clueless in an urban environment.

This is tough, because I used to be there but I kind of grew out of. I just started drinking tons of water all the time and now if when I get thirsty I just crave water.

I do drink two iced pour over coffees in the mornings though. They seem to keep me going for most the day caffeine-wise, so that’s helped a bunch too.
