The set I have (Duracell) is at least 10 years old - the charger has “copyright 2009” on it fwiw. Not sure they hold a charge for quite as long as originally, but they work for what I need (TV remote, RGB lighting remote, beard trimmer). I can only imagine how much better they have gotten!
Foraging. I’ve just started getting into it more. So far I have been loving pine needle tea - high in vitamin C which can replace the need for expensive fruit from the grocery store.
I made sumac “iced tea” which was excellent and also nutritious.
Looking forward to spring to forage dandelions for salad, since the store price is unrealistic for me. Apparently wild greens are more nutritious anyway.
If you’re in the same room the whole time and check them regularly it should be fine. Cats love to be comfortable and they will move if they get too hot.
sense most online business are having black friday is it worth buying something or should i pass and try to save my money. im a teen i have around 200$ but i would like to limit myself to 100$ or less. im probably posting this in the wrong place but im not sure, i just want to make a smart choice when it comes to money....
If you’re not willing to invest it, and you don’t already have something in mind you want to buy, then I say just save it.
Aside from that it depends on your hobbies. If it were me as a teenager it might be nice to get a decent fishing rod or multitool - something that you will use for a long time into adulthood.
Saving up to travel is also something you probably won’t regret, and will create lifetime memories that define you.
I can’t remember which title, but one of the Marvel movies where there’s a fight in some snowy mountainous terrain. IIRC as soon as Iron Man makes one of his “clever” remarks, that was game over and I had to turn it off.
Similar issue with The Expendables 2 - Arnold said “I’ll be back” and I was out.
I think the smug protagonist remarks are extremely cringe for some reason I can’t really explain further.
New research suggests more newcomers to Canada have chosen to leave in recent years, a threat to a country that relies on immigration to drive population and economic growth....
Can you blame them? I feel I had more freedom 10 years ago making minimum wage than I do now with an adult job and salary. We are being milked dry and it only gets worse.
Income to expenses. I could afford to travel once every 2 years, buy fresh produce, order takeout or eat at a restaurant once every week or two.
No matter how much I cut down expenses the cost continues to creep up while my wages don’t. I do not pay for any subscriptions and I don’t drink Starbucks - just the cheapest instant coffee I can find.
Yeah it’s insane when you look at cost per meal. My grocery budget is $40 per week, a bit under $6 per day or $2 per meal. So one dining experience is easily 10x my usual meal cost - very difficult to justify. And very easy to blow the week’s budget on a single meal.
Meal planning/prep helps, and buying things in bulk of course. Potatoes, rice, pasta, soup broth, tomato sauce, frozen veggies - anything that can be “stretched” to make multiple meals.
There are a few certain dishes I can’t get close to in deliciousness no matter how much I try - especially butter chicken, compared to the local Indian place, it’s no contest! Unfortunately that’s a $30 meal with garlic naan (which is mandatory)!
I looked it up for specs and seems like it has 16GB of RAM? Do you think that will be enough? I built my own PC in 2016 and went with 32GB to future-proof it (somewhat), and I could always upgrade if needed. I don’t think you have that option with a laptop and will just be putting yourself in the same position again in the near future.
The minds of all living things on Earth are connected as one giant hivemind. The thoughts aren’t an overwhelming barrage, but rather a collective experience.
I’ll preface this by saying that English is not my mother language and I’m sorry if this isn’t the right community, but I didn’t find a more appropriate one....
As a native English speaker it sounds strange to me. I have heard it used before by a fluent English speaker who was not a native speaker and it made sense, but caught me off guard at first.
It reminds me of how my French grandma would say “shut the lights” instead of “shut off the lights”, or “shut the lights off”. It makes enough sense to understand, but doesn’t feel quite right.
