My friend's dog Greta. She was already an old lady when I took this picture in 2015 and passed a year or two ago.

It really depends on where you live. There are some parts of the world where environmental factors like ocean humidity or winter road salting will cause a car's frame to rust through in a few years if you're not careful. Look up the Rust Belt for an example.

On the other hand, if you live somewhere warm and dry, your car's frame and body will outlast its original mechanical components.

IIRC white means you got all the secret glyphs in one playthrough.

I have the following at home:

  • My work laptop (2021 MacBook Pro)

  • My personal laptop (2018 MacBook Pro)

  • An old iPad Air

  • My phone

  • Living room PC (Linux, shared)

  • Bedroom PC (Linux, shared)

My laptops live on my desk and I mostly have whichever one I'm using plugged into my external monitor and peripherals (mouse and mechanical keyboard). The portability of my personal and work machines is nice if I want to sit on the couch or travel.

The living room PC is hooked up to the TV. My partner and I mostly use it for gaming and YouTube. It's a few years old but it can handle most of what we throw at it.

We only use the bedroom PC to watch TV in bed.

The iPad is for knitting patterns. Previously, it spent several years sitting unused in a drawer.

My phone is for doomscrolling and spam calls.

I smoked for almost 20 years. I lost track of how many times I tried - and failed - to quit. Last December I just felt done. Put it down and haven't gone back to it. I even had a few cigarettes while out with a friend in March and had no desire to go back to it after. I know a few other people who quit like that, but far more who have struggled with it for years and still smoke.

I have no idea what changed for me. Every other attempt failed, even if I felt really ready to quit.

Whatever I want. Usually PJs. The three times a year I go into the office, it'll be a tank top, jeans, and combat boots or high tops, generally all black or dark grey. I'll also wear a plaid flannel over the tank top if it's chilly in the office. I save my dressing up for the office Christmas party and shock the hell out of everyone.

Exactly what it sounds like. A crosswalk painted in rainbow colours.

OP said elsewhere that they're in Canada, so $500 Canadian dollars.

I cancelled my Netflix account. I keep Disney Plus around for my stepkid, and Prime Video because it comes with Prime, although I'll probably cancel that soon too. I'm keeping Funimation.

Streaming is becoming worse than cable. At least if I got cable (which I won't) I could PVR shit and skip the ads. The idea of paying a monthly fee to get advertised at anyway is nauseating.

Is it subscription now? I paid like $3 for it once ten years ago.

35, Canada, and manual is my preference although my current car is an automatic.

I learned to drive on an automatic, but bought a manual for my first car and got my ex to teach me how to drive it. It was important to me that I be able to get into pretty much anything and drive it. After driving an automatic exclusively for the last year, I miss having that level of gearing control, especially on hills and corners.

I'm getting real California City vibes.
