  • Partner and I had just finished school and gotten really good paying jobs, we saved enough money to buy a house and new car and truck. I bought myself a new used truck to haul materials and products when fixing up the new house! 🙏

  • When I lived in the u.s. and bought my first home, I had similar concerns as you as we were about to buy a lot of high end products to furnish our new home (a new car, dishwasher, vacuum, etc..).

    We bought a subscription to "consumer reports" (https://www.consumerreports.org/). They test all types of products and give detailed reports on each product. They also listed some products as "do not buy" for whatever flaws a product may have - this convinced me further as there didn't seem to be any partiality. We ended up making many purchases, all price ranges up to the price of a new car, based on their recommendations and don't remember having any post purchase issues.

    I don't know if this can be accessed from your region nor if it covers any brands local to Australia, but it did cover a lot of imported products to the u.s. from Europe and Asia - hopefully this may help you as well.

  • The sugar and high fructose corn syrup in food. I am currently back in the states visiting and the food is almost sickening sweet.

  • I am saddened by your loss.

    I am of similar ages and anniversary years, and your post resonates strongly with me.

    I pray you find whatever you need to deal with this. I am so sorry.

  • Seed ID?

  • I was working 60+ hours a week chasing promotions, pay raises, and bonuses. Then I'd have to read and study a couple of hours at night to stay current.

    Burned myself out. So not worth it.

  • Thanks for the review. Added to 'to Read's list.

  • It's a good place to be.

  • Lol

  • "Two birds with one stone"...

  • Our two cats are named Peter and Paul. We intend on getting a female tabby and naming her Mary.

    Your cute puppy looks like a Marissa. I love popular human names for pets!

  • What about his background do you find concerning?

  • ooo, I went to the Framework website. When I get a some 'disposable' cash, I will get a framework lappy.

  • Debian and Fedora, Debian and Fedora. That is a lot of the recommendations I've gotten.

  • Thank you for the reply. Many moons ago I tried to spin up a Arch lappy, but failed. I haven't tried since (complaints about no free time and such), but I kinda took that fail that I always wanted to go back and try again!

  • Thank you for the rec. I will have to try nix when i get some time.

  • Yeah, Atomic is looking to be my next spin with a thinkpad lappy i have.

  • I have a fondness for Mint. I was able to build a desktop and a laptop with Mint for my parents. They've been using them for years now, at least over 5. It just works for them.

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    Stable, consistent workstation recommendations?
