Honestly no idea. I could perchance team up with trustworthy people to form some self-sufficient community, otherwise it’s just a matter of time before succumbing to the elements or other people. Would work on my fitness a bit more if I knew ahead of time the world would become like that.

The way I’ve seen people around me use the dryer, for sure. High heat will ruin clothes more than anything else, especially if it continues to run after everything had dried out.

Back in university, we had timed dryers that could only do either high heat or tumble dry low for an hour. Rooms were too humid and cramped to air dry. Of course, I wasn’t going to spend more money waiting for low heat to do its work. Clothes came out bone dry and metal zippers scalding hot. Only the large towels held up, everything else noticeably faded and thinned over a couple years.

Night and day difference once I got my own place with a condenser dryer. It takes longer, but everything is just dry enough at the end of each cycle. It’s also a bit smaller so I have to air dry parts of larger loads, but either way, my clothes have held up much better ever since.

Counting all injuries to date, I think I would. Probably with a concussion and blood all over me though. My face would be in very rough shape from how much I’ve picked at it in the past.

Because once you fall behind on anything, especially larger expenses, it’s pretty much over. You can’t recover from that unless you submit yourself to loan-hell.

If OP indeed has the 6th gen iPod Touch, not the classic, it won’t be as rosy as most of the comment here suggest. From my experience replacing the battery on one, you need a hair dryer to loosen the glue and pry off the screen, then a soldering iron to replace the battery since its ribbon cable is directly soldered to the logic board. No storage expansion or custom firmware is available for such iOS devices, as far as I am aware.

Also watch out for low-quality replacement batteries, the first replacement I tried only lasted around an hour on a full charge.

Does that happen to be a variant? I replaced the battery in my aunt’s iPod Touch 6 a few years ago and did have to desolder the battery ribbon cable as it was directly soldered to the logic board. Took a lot of patience just getting to the battery too (screen is held on by glue unlike the clips/tabs in an iPhone).

Also interested to hear other people’s thoughts on reusing these old iOS devices, got one sitting around just collecting dust.

Bog standard keyring. To keep everything parallel, the folding multitool gets a tiny sub-keyring and the metal USB stick gets a tiny carabiner (detaches to avoid load-bearing USB ports). Keychain goes in a velcro pouch that also holds a multi-tool pen, mini flashlight, and lighter. Pouch goes into front left pocket.

The 1969 Apollo 11 mission. To capture the original signal from the lander and make backup copies of it

I am familiar with a child abuse victim who feels this way. Not like actively seeking it out, but they wouldn’t regret it much if it came to that point.

But I’m not personally qualified to comment on it. If it’s becoming more than a passing thought and starting to bother you in everyday life or causing actively homicidal thoughts, it’s a good time to seek professional help before it gets you into trouble.

Physically yes. Probably not in the way you mean though. The lungs have no facilities to digest food, even if in the form of a rich aerosol (you’d get pneumonia). Perhaps a wayward molecule with caloric value or two could follow air swallowed into the stomach, but that would be very negligible.

Was fortunate enough to have good teachers and friends so it was mostly enjoyable. I sometimes joke that I peaked in middle school, when I finally came out of my shell enough to have meaningful friendships, but had still yet to experience any sort of academic-related stress.

I did once while abroad. None of the shoe stores had the style I wanted in wide, so I went on Amazon and found a pair which reviewers tended to say fit well. Particularly that the listed size matched their expectations when they tried the actual shoe on. Ordered the size I thought would fit me and it did in fact fit me perfectly. It lasted about a year until it started leaking at the glued seam, which to be fair, wasn’t too disappointing for a 48-Euro no-name pair.

Granted, that was for men’s hiking shoes, can’t really speak for finding good high heels online. Other than for that one-off occasion, I’ve only shopped for shoes and clothes in-person.

One less possible data point for tracking

Also not invested enough in my profile to bother

The average social media profile has just headlines and lead pictures, while a good blog also has articles

We should have stuck with network file shares and FTP instead of outsourcing everything to Google. ‘Unlimited storage’ for select organizations was really good bait, but it was never sustainable.

I have heard those terms in the past, albeit not too often

New local. I’m only subscribed to a handful of communities.

It’s definitely one of the ways I fidget when alone.

I don’t know if it’s related, but my problem is that sometimes I think my head is upright but it ends up being tilted a bit in photos.

I write a brief journal entry each day. Would have loved to read the day-to-day musings of past generations in my family, so I’d like to do this now for posterity. I even designed a custom printable planner with space for it, Letter/A4 sized so I can easily scan them in once I’m done. It’s just a section of my planner so the context of what I did that day is right there and the limited space keeps me from feeling pressured to write too much. Printed out because the digital equivalents never really worked well for me.

That only captures a small amount of my life and I’m not big on taking photos, but even a brief daily journal entry takes much discipline, so I won’t push it and risk giving up.

While I like to consume documents and photos on paper, I don’t trust it in the long run. Vulnerable to water, fire, UV, and theft. You could say the same for electronic media, but it’s easy to duplicate, encrypt, and verify with checksums (or replace if it fails). All of my photos and documents to date fit within 128gb with room to spare, so I store encrypted copies on hard drives at home, a SSD hidden among cables and chargers at work, on my personal laptop, and in a microSD in my wallet. All verified with btrfs scrub and synced at my leisure.

Bought an automatic-feed scanner to gradually digitize the hoard of paper documents and photos I have remaining. I ought to look into digitizing old home VHS tapes from my childhood and backing up the really important stuff to M-Discs sometime, but that’s all I have time for now.
