Found distractions like exercise the first few weeks and tried quite af few times before it stuck. I will note though, after I quit I got diagnosed with/started meds for adhd. Turns out most of my withdrawal symptoms were exactly the same as feeling my meds wear off while tapering into them…haven’t had a craving since the meds normalized. Probably would’ve had a way easier time quitting if I’d gotten that diagnosed earlier in life.
That looks like someone being over the top expecting management to get mad lol. I really hope that’s not seriously being considered.
Might wanna fix the title on this.
I’d love to know how it’s not strong arming anyone to appoint a financial auditor in perpetuity for a temporary loan? That’s a ridiculous statement.
Many places (jobs and housing) will say anything on a record is enough if it’s potentially worse than a parking ticket basically.
My wife uses bed sheets for quilt backing sometimes and they are often $8 or less and very sturdy fabric in most cases. some see makers also sell the bedding in cases made of the same material, might also check a buy nothing sell nothing and see if anyone is about to trash one of those as well.
I admittedly don’t care if I change how the inside of my clothes looks so grain of salt here: go to a thrift store and get a sturdy fabric that’ll fit enough. Then cut a bit more than you need, maybe a quarter to half an inch extra at the widest part. Go bigger if you want the extra pocket space but it will look baggy then. Stitch it up around the edges, it’s on the inside so I personally wouldn’t care about what kind of stitch/thread/whatever as long as it’s functional.
Just make sure to double stitch so you aren’t putting a ton of stress on a small area of the old fabric or it’ll tear again.
I’ve bought a number of raspberry pico chips abs a pack of generic esp32s over the last few years and every time I think I have enough as backups I suddenly find more uses for them! I have an old floor radio converted to act as a light/dimmer control, makeshift hvac control, and flip a night light (also made from a pico w) in the bedroom, another one in the living room in a little coffee table box using home assistants api over WiFi. I also have 3, soon to be four (adding some really fun electromagnet parts) to convert an old electric organ to a full virtual pipe organ. This project was what got me started, the “off the shelf” conversion kits looked like they were running off an esp32 ish and mcp23017’s and cost $1,500-2,000 for just the pcbs, no wiring and no speakers etc. doing it with the picos and a crap loads of doorbell wire $160+$600 for high quality speakers, and $260 for a touch screen and vesa arm. So complete project cost me $600 less than just the pcbs. The fourth one I was waiting for cheap used parts to appear on eBay, they are insanely expensive new ($30-50 each) and I need 56 of them. It’ll be a similar price saving at the end of the day!
Long ramble to say these chips are cheap and don’t take long to help make life more convenient, and sometimes way cheaper if the project was niche.
That sounds like a pretty decent graduation. Here in the US we don’t have that but I was always taught to do the smallest thing legally called a motorcycle (250cc) here. Fast enough to be useful in town and maybe the highway, fun but not powerful enough to do anything too stupid.
They can’t understand anything that takes more than 3 seconds to see the outcome of. Trying to explain this or the cuts to healthcare subsidies is like trying to teach a rock to play Beethoven.
Every time I learn more about this it somehow gets more horrific.
They also reportedly blocked fire trucks from getting to the fire and are still tying up litigation claiming that they shouldn’t have to pay for the damage to the rest of the destroyed block from the resulting fire.
Why is Newsom popular? Every time he makes the news it’s for the equivalent of kicking puppies…
That’s a quirk least in the US, most jurisdictions have exemptions to their juvenile stats that past a certain threshold of severity it’s either legal (or in some southern states mandatory) to try them as an adult. You know, to make an example of them or something…
It’s technically accurate, just referencing a stupidly named product:
BIG-IP is the firm’s flagship product used for application delivery and traffic management by many large enterprises worldwide.
It’s unclear how long the hackers maintained access, but the company confirmed that they stole source code, vulnerability data, and some configuration and implementation details for a limited number of customers.
The new attack, named Pixnapping by the team of academic researchers who devised it, requires a victim to first install a malicious app on an Android phone or tablet. The app, which requires no system permissions, can then effectively read data that any other installed app displays on the screen. Pixnapping has been demonstrated on Google Pixel phones and the Samsung Galaxy S25 phone and likely could be modified to work on other models with additional work. Google released mitigations last month, but the researchers said a modified version of the attack works even when the update is installed.

1 bedroom apartments are going for $1,400 where I live which would be just over 33% of this (35%) so this would be the bottom end for folks… even renting 35% is starting to stretch things. By the time I’m done with utilities (phone, internet, water, gas, and electric) I’m at 21,380, or 43% of pretax wages without counting in food/other bills.
If I remember right the nicotine quit rate is in the single digits for adhd folks so I’d definitely believe it.
