If your 401k, Roth IRA, and Traditional IRA are all maxed out… A) great job! and B) put it into a regular investment account (not recommending Robinhood, but that’s the easiest example). There’s no max on that.

I agree that the joycons suck. On the upside, I replaced the sticks on both of mine for approximately $20 with parts on Amazon. Came with the screwdrivers and everything. Each one took about 20 minutes. I’m not forgiving Nintendo for making bad controllers, but being so easy to repair for so cheap… it’s worth doing it yourself just so you can play TotK.

I’ve made a few batches now, and while I figured out getting better carbonation, my kombucha just isn’t very sour. Or tart, or whatever the right name is. I started drinking things like Health Ade and other brands you commonly see in stores, and they’re far more tart than what my homemade kombucha ends up being.

Do I just need to wait even longer before bottling? Last time I went about two weeks, and it’s really warm here right now. My brew room is over the garage, and much warmer than the rest of the house. I’m afraid to wait too long!

I don’t know how many others have this issue, but ever since dev beta 1 I’ve been missing texts left and right. No notifications sometimes, perfectly normal notifications others. It’s definitely a bug, but I believe I found the issue and workaround.

If your phone is on mute (with the side switch), your watch doesn’t sound OR vibrate when a text message comes in. If your phone’s sound is turned ON, then your watch will vibrate or sound when a text comes in (whichever you have the watch set to) and your phone will stay silent.

So I guess the workaround is to leave your sound on, on the phone, all the time so that way your watch can deliver notifications…

Get rid of everything you can! Books can be checked out from the library, and records probably don’t get listened to (if you use them, maybe keep the most used ones?).

It won’t help you today, but in my closet I chose a pair of shorts I don’t wear anymore and put them in the furthest right spot. Any article of clothing I wore and washed got placed directly to the right of the shorts. After a year (all 4 seasons) anything still on the left side of the shorts got thrown out or donated. It was a surprising amount of clothes.

Everything is replaceable, so give yourself a little leeway and while you’re hating your belongings trim down what you can. If you HAVE to replace something later, at least you tossed out dozens of other items that you otherwise wouldn’t have if you didn’t do this!

Just started with a new company and was told that we have quarterly reviews and requested I start working toward getting the AWS Solutions Architect certificate. I kinda hate it, but he also seems like a really nice guy and wasn’t the one that came up with the idea of quarterly reviews for the entire company.

Definitely don’t look forward to future reviews where I actually have to give updates and have “met goals” and such.

I think they're more just pointing out how this ruling isn't fair because of the fact that it doesn't go both ways.

If there aren’t many comments (and I have something useful for the OP) or if i have a question, then even a month is okay IMO.

But if it’s a post getting a ton of comments on a super popular sub or something that hit the front page or r/all… I give up even after 24 hours because my comment will never be seen.

If you addressed this in the post and I suck and missed it, sorry! But I’d love to test your app out on iOS when available. Thank you :)

I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.

I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.

It’s what all public companies do. Once your company is public, it is somewhat your duty to raise profits every year forever and ever to make your investors money and to attract investors. It sucks, but that’s how the market works.

Looking good!

I think we are already seeing price increases on many games that are starting at $70 (USD) these days. I don’t think we’ll see another increase for quite a while.
