It’s probably too late to meaningfully contribute to this thread, but I think this is the best advice I’ve read so far.

For a more normal picture of her … Sort of:

It can take a bit of motivation to get started, but reading books can be so fun and worthwhile (with the right books for you). I read a lot of books until I had a kid, then I didn’t have the time or energy to keep it up. Just recently I suffered a back injury that keeps me in bed a lot of the time, which forced downtime on me, and so I started reading again.

I wouldn’t recommend the back injury, but I’ve so much enjoyed embracing books once more. Like you, I’m 38 and felt like my literacy was declining. Now I feel like a lot of it’s coming back! If you can, you should try to resume reading.

I hope they didn’t burn their diploma.

Possibly better than space honey.

Is a generic “yes” permitted?

Nice view, though.

I had my windows replaced … Last year, I think? That detail doesn’t really matter.

I always knew that normal windows negate any attempt at security, but it was still unnerving to visually confirm that they are easily removed, fragile barriers filling what are just holes in my wall.

Hey, don’t judge until you’ve tried bowling without hands.

I didn’t know Homer was on lemmy. That’s pretty awesome actually.

I personally know one person who uses light theme.

He says that he prefers light theme with the brightness turned all the way down.

It’s good that it works for him, but that’s not my way.

My work gave me a Mac with this. I absolutely hated it - constantly triggering random things I didn’t want or need and apparently something about the wiring caused the physical keyboard to fail prematurely.

Fortunately we’ve moved on from those dark days. I still have to use a Mac, but at least there’s no touch bar.

Why do prisons use Windows?

Because it always locks up.

Uh … Are they allowed to wear underwear?

I’m out of touch WRT hardware, but it looks like the PS5 uses something called GDDR memory. Your standard desktop or laptop most likely would use DDR. I’m not familiar with GDDR, though I’m guessing just based on the letters that it helps run graphics; still, it probably would not work with your tower or notebook.

I’m sure someone else in the thread can provide a more informed answer.

Got it. Buy PS5, harvest memory.

The only other time I’ve seen the word “pithy” was on the old cracked.com.

I suppose it would make sense when discussing fruit, as well.

Additionally, I looked up the word “pith” to make sure I wasn’t being dumb and I learned it refers to the spinal cord! I’ve recently suffered a spinal injury, so that’s useful information.

I read it yesterday, so I was fortunate to be able to skip most of it after the first few words.
