I avoid the nitty gritty because I'm a software guy but as far as I know nothing is inherently stopping the computer from using the hard drive as extremely slow RAM even for the GPU. I mean we already have page and swap files, might need to be implemented, but I don't see why it couldn't be technically done.

Do it! Godot is there waiting for you with open arms.

I do it the old fashioned way. Giant binder of discs I get my passenger to flip through and swap in and out

Or at least based on some percentage of company's gross revenue or something that actually impacts their bottom line instead of just being a slap on the wrist cost of doing business.

That econdary drive I highly recommend you find a way to move that out of your house. For me I have a friend 8 hours away, we swap drives on occasion to keep each other's backups in case of flood/fire/toddler or whatever other force of nature to save ourselves cloud backup costs

And apple trees! Definitely ban those. People can just come up and take food? Darn socialism!

WARNING: For anyone considering. Milkweed is specifically banned in some areas based on old laws considering it a noxious weed (despite being native). Check with your county/city enforcement. Mine allows me to grow it in the backyard but fines people growing it in the front.

I know it's just for a joke but it annoys me they've got two Autobots and two Decepticons.

I helped my last company not fully unionize but come together to demand change. I got the support of several teams backing me to confront management on their return to office policy. Management changed their minds quick.

It's not easy and was basically a second job for a few months for me, but you could always try to start the unionization effort.

It depends on why it's toxic. You say it's the people but that can still vary a lot. If it's because the other people are constantly attacking and belittling you then I'd (personally) just put my head down, do my work, and keep a hunt for a new job on the side.

If however they're "difficult" because they're set in their ways and don't like change and aren't good at expressing their point of view and you find yourself clashing on what to do and how. It's different. I've found I can adapt to those kinds of people and we eventually find a rhythm that works for both of us.

I'll also add I've had jobs with five different companies with people from many countries, and I've yet to find a job where at least some of the people aren't toxic. I've sometimes had success requesting moves to teams/projects away from the most toxic people. But unfortunately "knuckle down and put up with crappy people" is what's worked the best. But only you can know for yourself if you can do that in your current situation.

I'd also be looking for an EU sugar mama as much as possible on the side.
