I have multiple emails. My email for everything which is pretty generic Gmail (I'm slowly moving away from that to a less generic domain) and [email protected] which is only for business, so I use it for LinkedIn, resume, professional stuff only. Use a place like Tuta and get their app that way you get a notification when you're business address gets emails. I have Gmail, Tuta, Proton, and Yahoo apps on my phone. All with different email addresses so notification give me an idea of what it is (like Yahoo is probably spam. Gmail is general life stuff.)

I use [email protected] I bought my firstlast.tld several years ago. Figure it would look good. I then put a modified resume on my domain but when I started to think about being a security professional that didn't seem like a good idea. I now have my domain bring up the IP, browser, and few other pieces of info and show it to whoever goes to the site. It is either that or blank page and I think the first is more fun.
The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood.
I'll just steal the description from Amazon "Billie Scott is an artist.
Her debut gallery exhibition opens in a few months.
Within a fortnight she'll be completely blind.
Zoe Thorogood's first graphic novel is a story about what it's like to get something you want, have it immediately taken away from you and then how you put it all back together again. Set in a world of people down on their luck from Middlesbrough to London, it's a graphic novel that speaks of post-austerity Britain and the problems facing those left behind."
The art is great, the characters feel real, and the issues with it are minor. I read it for a book club and loved reading this and discussing it
The anime Perfect Blue. It was ahead of it's time. 1997 but the parasocial aspect of society it explores was in it's infancy compared to current time.
When family/friends asks you how you are doing but don't listen to the answer that really sucks. Or they hear what they expect and make a comment that clearly means they weren't listening. Personally I found that too much of small talk is someone saying or asking something with no intention of listening. Maybe they think they are being polite or some social obligations to talk but I hate it. If I ask "How you doing?" "How's work?" I'm going to listen to your answer. If I make a comment about the weather and you comment back I will listen.
Over my life I've had several shoes and other clothes that I wish when they wore out I could have bought more. Thankfully my favorite shirt right now I can. It is a tshirt from Hot Topic. It says it is the Dark Phoenix but I know it is Kitty Pryde using shi'ar tech to look like the Dark Phoenix and it amuses me to wear it. I have several times worn it and said "Do you like my Kitty Pryde T-shirt?" And people being confused. The shirt is also very comfortable.
I was taught as a child to open plain envelopes first. Checks, credit cards, and other important stuff are put in boring envelopes.
I worked for a CC company and when we mailed checks to customers we told them "This check will come in a plain white envelope." And the amount of people who thank me for letting them know because they might have thrown it away.
I went to a small concert and you could buy their music on a flash drive. That was awesome. I like that option
At a anime convention there was a table with various CDs of the band playing that night. I couldn't go to concert, but bought a CD to support them even though it was going to be a slight inconvenience to rip it. I still have all my old CDs (I don't really have that much so haven't gotten rid of them. I keep them in a plastic container) so just put it with the rest.
PT is evidence based, chiropracty is woo. PT goal is to get you better and stop PT or teach you how to do it on your own. Chiropractors want you to come back for the rest of your life.
I'm going to move over to Mint on my laptop, it's older but still working great after I swapped an SSD drive in. Biggest issue is backing up the laptop before installing Linux. I have another computer I plan on duel boot with Windows 10 so I have access if I need windows for certain programs. I have no control over my work computer so Windows 11 there.
And unless one of my brothers steps up and buys our Dad a Windows 11 computer (I bought the Windows 10 computer, which is why it was so cheap it can't take 11. ๐ ) since I'm his tech support if my brothers don't step up he is going to Linux. No matter what I'm going to have to listen to him complain about how it is different so it will be a good time to move to Linux. Probably a version that tries to mimic Windows.
