I don't know about the other stuff, but I had a job from late 2021 to early-mid 2023. By the time I left the job, the net contributions over about 18 months were $9,992.78, and the balance was $10,340.83.
From the 2nd through the 11th month, the balance was literally less than net contributions.
Too true! Some people say there's no such thing as a fish. I prefer to expand the definition. We simply brought the water with us.
There is a home video of me when I was like 6 happily swimming around in a lake with my family, equipped with flotation devices. I was having a great time, laughing and clearly enjoying myself.
Then my grandfather comes and forcibly removes all of my flotation devices and drags me out deep to force me to swim back to "teach" me how to swim. The whole time I was being dragged out I was shouting "No! No! Not like this!"
It's a wonder I don't have a fear of water.
Not to mention mammals are just land fish. We are all fish.
+1 for the Chevy Bolt. I've got the 2023 EUV, absolutely love it.
However, I've heard that the newer lines are dropping Apple CarPlay & Android Auto support. Which would be a hard no from me.
The used market for EVs is kinda crazy cheap right now though. To OP: I'd highly suggest looking for a used 2023 Chevy Bolt when you're ready.
I do agree that's a particular case that can't be solved by a password manager. But it's all the more reason to use one elsewhere to reduce how many you need to remember.
I have to remember only 3 secure passwords. My personal computer, my work account, and my password manager. Those are the only three I have to type in manually. And because they're secure and unique, for stupid work password change requirements I just increment the last character.
Ugh same. My first name is very common, last name moderately uncommon. I've gotten loads of stuff. Various quotes and invoices (vet, mechanic, window installation), invitations to child care groups, family gathering invitations (that one I think was the person writing the email address, not the person with my name).
Most of the time I just immediately unsubscribe or block or whatever and move on, but there's some (like the child care group) I had to reach out to because that could be potentially dangerous.
Get your own email right, people! It shouldn't be my responsibility to manage your email. Some of that shit includes your home address too.
As the first author of a fair few papers during grad school, I don't have that email address anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also not in academia.
I guess I do also have my childhood landline still, but that's been out of service for over 15 years. But it is one more phone number I have memorized.
It also blows my American mind how memorizable that long number is. It's probably largely the jingle, but I can remember that cold without thinking about it for years. But I can only hold like 4 American phone numbers in my head. Without my contacts I can call: myself (helpful), my wife (I'd better), and both of my parents (good to have backups).
That's the end of the list.
How dare anyone stand against the status quo, am I right?
