Of course.

I never buy snacks or treats in my usual weekly shop - once in while I treat myself such as buying a box of stollen for Christmas… and even then I share with my family. Switching to unsalted/flavoured nuts and fruit after meals helped a lot.

Another thing is getting into the habit of intermittent fasting. At least three days a week, I only eat dinner in a 24hr period. This definitely isn’t for everyone - I only happened to get back into it noticing I was putting on weight working from home through COVID however there are other versions like 16/8

Didn’t know they branched out from doing cards

I’m fortunate enough that I have no issue covering essential expenses, so I’ve setup an automatic transfer after payday to move some of my wages to a savings account. In other words, I don’t have to inconvenience myself at all to save

Exactly, I basically just use mine as a big monitor connected to my PC sat beneath it

Do you have a beginner/dummies guide to seeing up NFS shares? I’m using SMB too but would rather use NFS

Music keeps me going through life, whether it be listening on mobile, on vinyl at home, live at gigs/raves/concerts

I wouldn’t survive

My needs are more centred around gaming but I built a SFF PC based around the 7800X3D, 9070XT and FormD T1 case (sub 10L) which sits under and connects to my TV and hifi system.

I’m therefore just using the TV as a monitor, and can access my NAS through the PC to play media directly from it, as well as game through Steam ofc. I’ve not had issues on BT with EndeavourOS but am looking forward to switching to the Steam Controller with it’s reduced latency with multiple devices

Weirdly reminds me of Futurama

A band I love in a related musical area is Trophy Hunt https://trophyhunt.bandcamp.com/

I never had too many issues with GNOME but didn’t install loads of extensions. Looking forward to seeing Cosmic grow and develop further, took a while but finally in beta

Maybe not possible in your situation but I have a SFF gaming PC under the TV, so can just use browser on that

Whilst I sympathise and wish I had any idea, I am so jealous… I would commit murder for a full night’s kip

Was going to say, this has solidified my next ereader choice being Kobo

You’d probably be interested in active speakers that could connect to your laptop by 3.5mm or USB to optical, as well as supporting BT to your phone

Do you have a budget, and just to be clear would you only be needing to hear at your desk?

Edit: for an office, something like the Edifier R1380DB looks decent. Can pick them up for under £150 here. Connect to laptop through USB to optical or 3.5mm to line in. Supports BT 5.1

I’d suggest Kris Baha’s older material. Not really into his new cyber stuff and he’s kinda gone away from EBM now sadly but stuff like Palais and My Master are excellent chuggy EBM techno records

Definitely a lot of black metal particularly where it’s merged with folk influences. Panopticon is a prime example

Gattaca is immense, still underrated imo.

Dark City and (the probably obvious) Arrival are my picks

There is one with John Boyega portraying the son of the Marshal so based maybe 10 years or so after the original. Not quite up there with the first film but still fun, basically “Pacific Rim: Team Kids”
