Everyone should be using ISO8601 anyway. yyyy-mm-dd is superior to both and leaves 0 ambiguity to the reader no matter where they're from.

They're so user friendly we opted to get my brother's girlfriend's 10 year-old sister one instead of a Switch. So instead of having 2-3 $40-$70 Switch games she got access to my Steam library through Family Share (limited to ~60 age-appropriate games), and 20 Switch games emulated through Yuzu setup by EmuDeck.

We're also teaching her how to do all of this which will give her a huge advantage when it comes to using computers in the future, and allow her to emulate any games she would like going forward.

As long as you have the discipline to actually pay the thing off it's fine. Many people think, "oh I have 0% interest, I'll pay it off later" but never set aside the money to do so and end up accruing interest.

I never buy something on them I couldn't immediately pay off in full when I hit buy. I've bought things in excess of my checking balance, but that's because I had enough in savings (separate from my emergency fund), and my incoming paycheck would put my checking balance well above my credit card balance.

Definitely agree. I was raised with this mindset, but it never stuck until I went to therapy and got other things sorted. It's hard to react calmly and logically when the rest of your brain is fucked.

As I've progressed from my early to mid 20s this is something I've really tried to focus on.

I was extremely reactive and volatile emotionally, and a single thing could fuck up my entire day. Between my brain doing its last bit of developing, and getting a hold of my generalized anxiety disorder and depressive disorder through therapy, I've gone from, "this fucking sucks" before having break downs in the worst case to, "I can feel bad once it's fixed, but it's gotta be fixed first".

This is definitely a healthier mindset, but I catch myself trying to fix things that just can't be fixed. Sometimes you just gotta let go, so that's been my focus recently. It's hard, but I think recognizing it has been a great first step.

It's also why wages are so high. You wanna keep your talent? You gotta pay more than the company next door, or have better perks to make up for the wage disparity.

I got poached from AWS because my current team has a full AWS stack, and they wanted someone who knew it inside and out. They offered me a full remote position (whole company is full remote) with a higher salary, but slightly less TC. My new job is also way less stressful and with way more freedom.

I'm usually excellent at finding shit like this and I got nothing in half an hour. I'm high as fuck rn tho so I'll be trying again tomorrow because I'm officially invested. If I do by some miracle find it (I'm pretty convincing I won't) send the money to a FOSS project of your choice, or your favorite Lemmy instance.

Every force has an equal and opposite reaction.

When you are holding the magnet in front of the car you are pulling the car along through the magnetic attraction between the magnets, and the car is pulling the magnet back towards itself with equal force. However, you can just pull the magnet away as the car gets closer. When you do so you are transferring the force the car is imparting on you into the ground you are standing on.

If you were to now get on top of the car and hold the magnet in front of it the magnet you are holding would be pulled towards the car, and the car towards it. However, since you are on top of the car, instead of the force the car is imparting on you going into the ground (allowing you to keep moving the magnet away from the car) it would go back into the car. This force going back into the car is identical to the force the magnet you are holding is imparting on the car. As such they cancel each other out and the car does not move.

If you repeat the above, but replace the magnet with a rope, it's a lot more clear why it doesn't work. You can't pull on a rope while sitting on a car and expect the car to move. The magnetic force is the rope, and you pulling on the magnet is the same as pulling on the rope.

As soon as I saw the headline I already knew it was Huntington Beach. Every few years they try to do some dumb shit like this.

I probably come off as a Fidelity shill with how much I've mentioned them on Lemmy, but it's a genuinely good platform for banking. They're not a traditional bank. They're a brokerage that offers checking and savings accounts that you can directly buy/sell securities with.

I moved all my assets to them after Chase pissed me off one too many times and it was the greatest decision I've ever made. Account to account transfers are instant (I've transferred like $60k and they didn't give a fuck) and they front you the money for external incoming transfers that are still in pending. You never have time periods where you can't access your money because it's in the ether that is our antiquated banking system.

No minimums, no transfer fees, no stock/ETF purchase fees, and they pay ATM withdrawal fees automatically (including my $10 ATM fee in Vegas). The one time I had to call them to request a chargeback on my credit card the whole call, including waiting, took 5 minutes.

By far my favorite feature though is you can buy into money market funds like SPAXX in your normal accounts, so you get 5% APY on your money. However, it's still treated as normal USD so any transactions automatically pull from it.

You pretty much nailed the entire reason for most of my friends and myself (mid to late 20s). We can all afford kids, but it's just not something anyone desires except for one or two people in our group of 14.

Most of us don't even dislike kids, but the thought of having our own is undesirable.

I was gonna say SF, but now that I think about it the burger places there tend to be a bit more quaint and definitely don't have the live laugh love shit everywhere. At least I've never seen one, but it's a big fucking city so there's almost definitely at least one.

They were everywhere in Denver.
