Not the answer you’re looking for, but public libraries often have newspaper subscriptions that you can use to access articles.

Interesting. I wish they had shown the interface.

Doordash and other similar services. My order is wrong 9 times out of 10, and the price isn’t justifiable. I’d rather save the frustration and money and just make ramen or similar meals when I’ve been smoking or drinking and shouldn’t drive to fulfill the munchies.

I think you must mean the K702? Those are pretty much clones of the Q701.

This is the way.

The K7 series is similar but not identical. The sound profile changed slightly when manufacturing was moved from Austria to China.

I’m a bit of an audiophile and the Q701s are the best I’ve listened to. They far out pace anything else under $200 in terms of soundstage and clarity. The bass is a bit low, but this is to be expected from open backs.

AKG Q701 headphones also. I’ve been using the same pair for well over a decade.

What’s your definition of portable? A small mechanical keyboard might be a good fit.

No, I don’t think they’re the same. I was taking the knowledge the poster above provided and brainstorming options.

I laid awake last night thinking if it would be possible to make an elaborate Excel spreadsheet to accomplish this. I need to research more about the specifics of menstrual cycles, but I think it wouldn’t take that much effort. It could be disguised as something else and shared freely, and people could store it locally to ensure privacy.

Anxiety disorder? Panic disorder? PTSD? Probably best to start with a medical doctor, then a psychologist if needed.

1. Get sober
2. Figured out what you want to do in life.

Don’t think about jobs specifically. What do you want your life to look like? Traveling? Learning new things? Meeting a lot of people? Content solitude?

Once you figure out your ideal life, work backwards to form a plan. The pieces will fall into place and congrats, you now have a roadmap to your ideal. Make it happen.

When I was younger than you are now I was homeless. I remember one night I was hiding from the monsoon in an underpass, nursing broken ribs courtesy of some teenagers who decided to fuck with me a few days before. I knew this wasn’t the life I wanted. I knew I wanted my own safe place to live with a fridge full of food and hot running water. I stayed up all night and crunched the numbers - how much I would need to make, where I should live, what job and degree I’d need. It took 10 years but I followed the plan to a T and it worked out exactly as intended. It feels like a lifetime ago now.

23 is far from being too late. I know folks twice your age who have turned it around. The important thing is to start now and don’t stop until you’ve arrived at your destination. It is possible, you just need to take the right steps.

Much love friend. If you need help with the planning stages, send me a message.

Fuck, I just bought my OLED model a week ago.

I don’t know much about menstrual cycles. Wouldn’t it be easier and just as effective to track with pen and paper?

I was dating a person who worked in the nonprofit space. They organized a gala focused on education for black students, and I was invited as their +1. It was a super fancy black tie event - something that is far outside of my norm or comfort zone. I met the creator of Abbott Elementary, and she was an amazing person. She even invited me to her birthday party (I didn’t go).

I think it varies greatly. The trans communities, for instance, seem to tread younger and I get the sense that many posters are teenagers. Tech communities, on the other hand, seem 30s-40s.

I haven’t seen any of my friends repeat stolen election claims. Most everyone seems to feel that the margin was huge, and the DNC fucked up, but it is what it is. A few are panicking and worried of violence, so we’re getting together for a bonfire together to reassure them that we’ll all be OK, and we are in an area where no one would allow harm to come to their neighbor. We lived through four years of Trump before, and it was stupid every day, and we’ll live through it again.
