The switch from Premiere Pro to Davinci Resolve was happiness every step of the way. Current workplace uses premiere pro… it’s like a time capsule. Barely any changes in 7 years and still subscription.

Everyone is saying great ideas. I would like to add that as someone’s physical fitness and “beauty” declines rich people can use money to compensate. Whatever the myriad of things they want to fill in their life like to remain relevant, smiled at, and feel like they are in control and worth being respected. You can buy people to smile and serve you. You can find other sickos that respect your money power. Etc. just one aspect of already greedy foundations. Some people just can’t handle the idea of quietly hanging out in peace.

Same for the most part. There was a period of time where it seemed like every post and comment was angry. Silly fights over semantics. That still happens but it seems like less. I see more and more English speaking European influence. Still lots of angry Linux guys but Linux seems to be in a winning season so it’s chill.

What a callback. We had one in a red and black plaid dustcover!

Girlfriend broke up with me so I proceeded to buy a $900 motor scooter (fast mo-ped). My best friend also wrecked it and bent the front wheel after owning it for approximately 30 minutes. It did not bring all the girls to the yard but it was fun!

My in-laws has a touch of autism in their veins and very happy with their routine and 5 stores they go to. Anything beyond seems to be quite stressful and the opposite of fun

Science VS! Has a good podcast episode about happy people studies. TL:DR There is real benefit to maintaining at least a few real close friendships throughout life. Apparently commiseration and friendship actually goes a long way.

Hoodwinked is a good one. I remember being 10 or so and watching that in the theater and being soooo overwhelmed by its wackiness and fast-pace. It quickly becomes obvious it’s sort of a weird self aware movie, much like Shrek!

A lot of small coffee shops will allow them in their bulletin board area

Haha, what’s the right phrase?

He already owns 2 8tb 2.5inch SSDs he is looking to house

His personal system is MacOS but I know he works on windows at work. I believe ZFS is an option. I guess, the easier the better. Something that isn’t a ginormous project. I suggested a home server with Truenas, just because that’s what I have. I don’t want to send him down that route if there is an easy option he can just buy and go and be satisfied he met at least RAID 1 safety net.

Thanks. It’s intimidating writing a post and what’s unnecessary info. Here’s some more! He deals with high resolution video and photos so speed and higher bandwidth is definitely a priority. Upon speaking to him he seemed to have a natural interest in a raid 1 or more option. I think this is just from surface skimming reading. I know he has 2 disks now ready to go. I think his ideal world is a disk that shows up on various computers as a single disk. He works probably 50/50 MacOS and Windows.

He is not IT tech literate but is certainly capable of learning and taking extra steps or guides, if necessary.

PR stunt exposed

This is very true. Minneapolis suburb here. They are following even old ladies back to their homes 30 min away.

He watched too many Parks and Rec episodes with Men’s Rights activists and didn’t understand the satire

Checking Reddit during major events it is so bizarre how hollow it is now. It feels so redacted and full of chipper bots. It takes going to special interests subreddits to get to any semblance of realness. Looking at digg today felt the same way, like a mining system for marketing analytics or product pushes
