I def used "one armed scissor" as a screen name back in high school.

It's a dumb headline because there are definitely people paying attention, just not the right people.

Returnal looks like so much fun!

I remember playing this game when it first came out as a mobile game. Super cool concept, but I also remember hearing the drama from the start. I definitely thought this game had been abandoned a looong time ago.

The article did mention that black mothers are much more likely to have CPS called on them when coming in for prenatal care and that legal matters around pregnancy "overwhelmingly target black and brown women". The article seems to support that notion. However, there are a lot of elements to this case that make it very unique, even without racial consideration.

So project management on a personal scale is really varied based on what level of detail you need. I've worked with people who have ADHD traits and they worked best with a very micromanaged day, like there is a reminder every 15 minutes to keep them on track (that's a generalization, but not far off).

But if you're just looking for some broader structure to help organize projects you have to do, you can look at AI assisted planners to remove some of the basic breakdown work. You can ask ChatGPT to create a rough outline for some major projects, give it a time frame, and mention any other circumstances (work, childcare, only work 1 hour at a time, etc.), it will give you a decent outline to start with. You can then break it down further if you need to and refine the time line to best fit your own needs

There are lots of 'personal project management' books that can help to break it down, also good youtube videos on the subject. There are 3 primary things to remember though:

  • create manageable goals, this might take some trial and error to figure out timing.
  • stick to your plan. Putting off a task because you don't feel like it defeats the purpose of making a plan.
  • if you stuck to the plan the best you could and it didn't work out, don't beat yourself up. Use it as a learning experience for next time you need to plan stuff out. Figure out why it didn't work and fix it.

Quick note: reading/other resources won't hand you the answers, they will only help to provide and explain the tools you would need to be successful. Good luck!

I also had the alias 2. I thought I was pretty hot shit with the fancy flip-both-directions phone. And I think there was a little display on the outside too, right? With the time and some other basic notifications?

Easiest thing to do is to change your wifi password. If someone happened to have figured out your password, they might be adding to your usage. If that fixes your issue, then you can likely assume someone was getting a free ride from you. If not, then you can check data usage on your devices and see if there is an app or something consuming a lot of data in the background from your regular usage.

Effective planning. It's very easy to say " I'm doing this today and that tomorrow" but how realistic is that? Know how to break something down into its component pieces and be able complete them along a schedule. It's basically project management, but for everyday stuff. It helps immensely to be able to tackle big projects and recognize that things are progressing even though the project still isn't done. Hugely helpful for stress management.

Can you access your email through since other means? Tablet, computer, or old phone?

I hope it encompasses enough so companies can't worm their way around it.

 

See pics, found this thing well healed in my cat's tail. Came out with no resistance and no bleeding. Looks like a tip to something, but not sure. Cat is less than 6 months old. Thoughts? The grooves you see are from my pliers. It's hollow and seems to be aluminum or some other soft metal.

Edit:

Looks like this is pretty unanimously solved. Bit of backstory (not that you asked)- neighbor got got 2 kittens in May/June for his daughter. They're freaking adorable so whenever they wandered over to our house, we gave them lots of attention. They had been spending more and more time camped out on our porch furniture in the past month and then I found this just today. I'm going to talk to the guy and see what's up.

I'm concerned they are only interested in animals while they're small and cute because last year they had a young dog that's no longer there, this is the second pair of kittens they've had this year (one of the first pair I still see sulking around at night, but I'm pretty sure it's feral now. No idea what happened to number 2), and now they have a new puppy again.

Thanks all!

Minor second edit: I made a mistake about their pets. The first dog mentioned above was actually the house next to the neighbors in question. Those neighbors had moved, which is why the dog is no longer here.
