Maybe you need to double check a location you called information from to get parity. Maybe you need to restrict what is and isn't allowed to be input and where and where you can't call a file from. These rules require additional memory calls and cycles to compute. I know our smart rocks switch on an off at stupid rates, but little bits add up over time and nothing is free.

Not saying we don't need them, but the original code will usually be snappier because it doesn't have so many extra steps.

There are a TON of security updates being performed all the time that over a course of a few years can start to be noticeable. -

Negligible on a small scale, but through a devices life...I think the real hidden tax is typically security updates. As holes in security are uncovered the updates do generally effect performance. Negligible on a small scale, but through a devices life they can stack up.

After that solar panels since my usage reduction will reduce the cost of the panel requirements. Then a hydroponics garden to produce income and help eliminate the food bill. Possibly drill a well. If i could figure out a way to get internet for free id basically have no need for money.
Oh, and I have normal stuff like 401k, stocks, and HSA.

Plenty of fish was plenty of flops for me. Not even a single bite.
I hear good things about hinge but haven't used it personally.Tinder honestly got me to meet tons of people. Lots of hookups and eventually met my girlfriend of over three years and who I want to spend the rest of my life with. That being said, I met some wild motherfuckers too.

Leather resists require you to let it fully dry, I imagine in wood it would need to penetrate and dry as well, so I think wait time would be the biggest variable.

Im not sure if it would work, but you might be able to use diluted wood glue to resist stains. It would allow you to paint the negative spaces then stain around them. I think some light sanding is all the would be required to remove it.
Suzy Jackson really nailed it in the Skyward series by Brandon Sanderson. All the cute little voices for doom slug and boom slug really brought depth to some arguably throw away characters. Managed to capture male voices very well too!
