The VP having control over the platform they announce things?

What a novel idea /s

So dumb how much power twitter got for politics. Fediverse for life!

Oof, sounds like you might be looking up what countries you can get to with low cost of living soon.

Or home steading.

I mean the example I gave was a guy who fled over student loans, which can’t be discharged through bankruptcy and the US government can not be stopped from coming for you!

Honestly never paid attention to charging speed, never actually gotten the silly thing under 25%, and most of the time after riding it’s still over 50%. So I just plug it in whenever I’m done with it and I know it’ll be full when I get back.

not a super helpful answer.

Glad to hear you were able to stay strong! I gave up on bikes and the like for awhile, and was in Nissan Leaf for a couple years. But a bit over a year ago I took the plunge and the money savings is just absurd. Even my life required $150 a month insurance, and repairs were always nasty, be it tires or that stupid AC that would have taken 2k to fix.

Uber also really is helpful as well, because once I had a large package I needed to take to the post office and I just grabbed an uber. Then another time I needed to take my cat to an emergency vet, so I called an uber pet.

Another time I found a great deal on a new looking sofa for $50, so I rented a truck. Was still WAY cheaper than buying the stupid thing new.

So having uber as a backup has really made life easier for me.

Some folks seemed leery of finding a decent device for that price point, so wanted to throw it out in case anyone else came looking for a similar thing!

Crazy how cheap and high quality these things are. One recently came out that for 2k can go 50 MPH and has a nearly 50 mile range!

Absolutely absurd. You can register that and go anywhere but the freeway with it. If I ever have to no longer work from home I’ll probably upgrade to a 25 mph one that can keep with the flow of traffic on residential streets more easily.

Oh yeah like the video I linked the one that was craziest to me was this:

Around $400 it has 18 mile range, but has replaceable batteries so $100 and a back pack doubles the range.

I didn’t need that much range and preferred the seat/basket combo. But just crazy.

Me too! The variety is just amazing.

I remember 10 years ago I wanted to try and get around on an escooter, but the tech just wasn’t there and the range on anything affordable was trash. Being able to go nearly 20 miles on a $400 dollar device is just crazy now.

Ooh for DC maybe you lower all your saving throws by 2, but increasing your spell save by 2?

These are all about upping the risk of things after all!

Probably would just get a long ethernet cable and hide it properly if it becomes relevant. But I doubt she’ll ever play a game that relies heavily on internet, so she’ll just need to deal with her slow download speeds!

That I am XD

If my mom was a better judge of character I wouldn’t exist!

Then there were games like Lion King or Yu Gi Oh forbidden memories which were designed to be stupid hard XD

Another excuse to roast her about her terrible taste in men then!

True! Could slowly help upgrade her little pc if she keeps playing games.

Uhh maybe I’ll have her try Stardew Valley next…

Then again, I’m certain there are furry mods for Stardew valley as well. No where is safe from them.

I mean I thought the use of instant mashed potatoes were pretty interesting! I made the black bean patties and they came out good, but I put them on a home made bun so it wasn’t such a small meal. and I’ll probably try the pie but with more veggies!

I mean… if you’re on a super tight budget, like $1 a day, you will be getting most of your calories from:

Beans

Wheat

Rice

Potatoes

Oils

Then a couple cents a meal for flavor.

So yeah, on a super tight budget if your only source of food is that $1, probably not. Instead of getting that dinky little can of veggies I would probably go for split peas personally, since they are pretty cheap and calorie dense. But mostly sharing cause I thought they were interesting vegan recipe bases that can be added too. The patties tasted good to me and the pie will be good with more veggies I think!

Hopefully anyone who is on such a low budget will have access to a food pantry or some other resources to assist though.

Let’s do some math then!

The box of mashed potatoes has 2,720 calories dry lentils 1430 2 cans black beans 770 1 can mixed veggies 100 1 can tomatoes 100

… yeah you’re right, you’re gonna lose some weight that week, but the high fiber beans/lentils may keep yourself from feeling it. The mashed potato’s are yummy, but take up way too much of the budget for the calories.

I’m annoyed that worked.

I had already reset the CMOS, but this time after installing it with the PSU off and battery out I went and had dinner.

I am now fully upgraded and running!

Oooh mushroom gravy is a great idea. Just a little can of blended mushroom with flour/oil/almond milk.
