Good night/morning, Maria! Enjoy the weekend with your family. We'll be gathering with family on Sunday. I really should turn in for the night, but I had been chasing down answers to questions I was running into with this new computer build, and I wanted to catch up on the day's news (not that if makes much difference in my life....) Oh well. Talk to you later.
I set it & forget it. Happens every day like clockwork.

I have Verizon Unlimited wireless (not 5G) internet at the house, because it is my only option other than DSL (GAG). They say there is not data cap on my usage, but the download speed has dropped significantly (time per block...). I am at block 277923 and it is taking between 20 sec. & over a minute to download a block.
My internet speed is 21.46 Mbs/s down / 11.09Mb/s up. (Speedtest.net)
Once this download is complete, I'm going to copy the folder to another drive and store it as an archive so I don't have to do the whole download again... This is a great optopn to build from scratch, but a little forethought and preparation will prevent me from the agonizing wait in the future.

Happy birthday, Kiddo! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Well said!
I have enjoyed chatting, but I need to go. (I have ducks to let into their yard, and I have to finish building a computer for my friend.)
Iām told that I donāt sound kind when I discuss things, so, please know I meant no offense, and did not intend to make anyone angry.
I hope you all have a wonderful day & weekend!š
Iām confused - are the Boomers certain politicians, or your parents/grandparents?
Because if youāre talking about politicians, I wonāt sit here and defend them - most are useless wastes of skin.
If youāre talking about the generations of people before me, iIāll defend them more vigorously than the politiciansā¦.
As for asking them to step assideā¦Iāve been finding that the Boomers are waiting for younger generations to grow up and take initiative so the Boomers can feel comfortable passing the torch to them. Torches are earned, not given! It takes willingness to learn and grow- from BOTH side of that equation!
I agree with nostr:npub13kwjkaunpmj5aslyd7hhwnwaqswmknj25dddglqztzz29pkavhaq25wg2a - the internet makes it so easy to make a living, whether it be by finding a job, selling items online, finding side jobs. Those tools didnāt exist for GenX. And Dad was born in the ā50ās (before they totally devalued the nationās money).
But it sounds like youāre falling into what I call the trap of āPoor-mouthing.ā My grandparents - great, hardworking farming family - did this. It was always āthe manā or unfavorable circumstances that held them back. They were farmers by profession, and were wealthy if you considered the value of the property they owned, but there was always someone who had it better than they didā¦ And I believe that same attitude allows many to justify their own failures.
My (Boomer) dad worked very hard for what he has. He added to society through the two businesses he started, and within the two trades (Tool& Die Maker and Stationary Steam Engineer - Journeyman in both trades) he practiced in his career.
Many from his generation grew wealthy because they were willing to do the work. When I hear people complain about the wealth gap, I am always curious what they did to earn the wealth!
To those who complain about income/wealth inequality, I have this to say: Learn from, and apply the principles taught by Dave Ramsey and Mike Rowe. They're not perfect, but their advice will make you wealthy if you choose to follow it.
I showed to my family & everybod enjoyed seeing. Thank you for sharing!
Good morning, NOSTR friends! I hope youāre well! The current temp where I am in Northern Ohio is 61, and weāre expecting a high today of 78! The Weather Channel App says it will be windy today, so it is probably a great day to fly kites.
After tending the ducks Iāll be inside building the computer I was hoping to build yesterday.
This weekend we celebrate Resurrection Day & Passover (for those of the Christian and Jewish faiths).
I hope you have a great day! And remember, every day is a gift! See ya tonight!
Well, NOSTR, it is time for me to start heading for bed. I got a lot done today, and finished out the day with going to the stable to watch my kiddo do a favorite thing - riding horseback. And we finished off the night around a bonfire eating Mac nā cheese & hotdogs with snores and toasted marshmallows for dessert. Now theyāre getting ready for bed/in bed, and Iām about to put water on the dying coals and head to bed myself. The new MOBO arrived this evening so Iāll be building my neighborās PC tomorrow. Goodnight, friends!
Wow! Nice! What do you plan for it?
Pro tip: when FakeBook tells you there is a problem with your listing (wood files & rasps, metal files & awls) delete the posting. (They flagged it as a āweaponsā listing.) Because at some point they cut your access to sell & buy on Marketplace. Now Iām getting a headache from finding out how/if it can be restored.
What is this Elizabeth Warren?!? I never heard of it!
Oh! You mean Poca-haunt-us!!!!š¤Ŗš¤”š¤”
