What did you do this week?
As part of a weekly series, these topics are a place for users to casually discuss the things they did — or didn't do — during their week. Did you accomplish any goals? Suffer a failure? Do nothing at all? Tell us about it!
Well, I'm in Louisiana so this week has been very cold (for us) and pretty hunker-downy. We were lucky -- power never really went out except for a few hours one night, so we stayed warm. But I got pretty intense cabin fever!
I got the corona so that sucks. After basically not seeing any people, not really leaving the house for a whole year it kind of just makes me angry, but what can you do... I've just got bit of a headache and that's it and all my loved ones seem to be doing fine too so far, but I still have so much anxiety about this. I already think about death often enough. I hope no one dares to die. And I don't even want to think about the long term health risks associated with this bs.
Do you have any idea how? I'm always curious. A coworker who was really careful got it because his teenage daughter brought it home from school. A friend whose whole family are anti-maskers and flaunting rules with mesh masks and large parties still hasn't gotten it.
That you/they know of. It's possible they were asymptomatic, and it's also possible they're lying to help justify their stance.
Yeah, almost guaranteed that one of the people I live with got it at work, they got sick a few days earlier than everyone else. Also kind of annoying because quite a big part of their job could be done from home.
After sitting on the fence for a long time re: what the right decision for us was, the subjects came off our offer on a house so I guess I'm officially(?) a homeowner. I'm lucky that the area I'm in houses only cost a mere arm and leg rather than all my limbs.
Congrats on the digs! That's amazing, even if it /is/ way less accessible to our generation than those past.
Thanks! Yea house prices are pretty nuts across the board right now. Me buying a house in my mid thirties is a far cry from my my parents being able to buy a house in their mid twenties. * rants about land value taxes *
Lol. I was on the phone today with a patron that couldn't believe a 0.7-acre empty lot went for 350K. He made me do math and stuff, twas wild.
Dug myself out of the hole that is my Intro to Finance course. It's online, asynchronous, and I kept neglecting to watch the lectures. I'm now on a good timeline to be ready for the exam in two weeks with one more chapter to clear.
I finally got my Linux system stabilized, Debian Bullseye, XFCE, back to PulseAudio after Descenders, I think, choked on it. I have an AMD RX 5500 XT coming in I unfortunately payed too much for, but I'm also getting tired of fighting NVidia with Linux distros. It'll perform better than my current 1060 GTX, so I'll be happy with that outcome. I was going to try to run them in tandem (nvidia + windows/amd + linux), but I realized there are AMD-specific features I want in Windows, at least as far as software goes, so I'll just be running the one card. I may rethink this in the future, but I've got my system nice and comfortable.
