Wow that’s a useful list of things they accept for recycling. It’s a total PITA to recycle anything electronics related in my city especially stuff like computers & hard drives let alone cables. That may end up getting me inside a Staples more often than once every year or two so maybe their plan is going to work.
Perhaps you’re overthinking this? In the house you can go barefoot, keep socks on, and/or wear slippers/loafers.
When you go outside you put on shoes.
So yes most people would have a shoe rack or just keep their shoes placed near the door. If you have multiple doors sure you can consider keeping extra pairs of shoes there or some sort of in between like outdoor slippers/something for when you just need to go check the mail or whatever.
For bonus points watch the last episode of Doom Patrol. Also featuring Brendan Fraser! (well, at least his voice)
A lot of people’s dogs are trained to wait inside at the door for their paws to get wiped down before walking into the house/apartment/whatever.
But sure, if the dog did go walk outside with boots/shoes then yeah their owner would obviously take them off once they were back inside.
The one I was at just gathered everyone together to let them know layoffs were coming. I was also part of the tech support for the office so I stayed a bit longer to help them wind down systems, wipe hard drives, that sort of thing. The owners were pretty nice/upfront about the whole thing, basically gave everyone something like 2-3 month’s pay upfront & told everyone the business is winding down.
The owners did try to find a buyer for the tech & maybe break even or recoup some losses but that didn’t pan out. AFAIK the investors just took it as a loss, it’s a startup and sometimes startups fail.
We weren’t in fancy offices or anything like you see in movies & whatnot, it was more like working in an industrial warehouse converted for office use. Like the kind of building that doesn’t provide hot water unless you install water heaters yourself, no central AC, that sort of thing. We had one final party & trashed the space on the way out LOL. I think they just walked away from the lease, it’s not like there was any $$ coming in to pay it anymore.
In the last few months after moving out a few remaining people (the owners, tech support, etc.) worked from within the investment group’s own offices (they gave us a spare room to work in). Mostly to deal with the old systems/hard drives & prep the existing data in case the owners found a buyer.
I don’t think there is an earlier option for less money
Sure there is, go to the SSA website itself the earliest eligibility is 62
https://www.ssa.gov/retirement/eligibility
You can also register yourself there & see your own estimates based on when you expect to claim social security.
Could you bear to wait eight more years for the 100%? You’ve already waited 62 years! What’s 8 more?
It’s easy to think that way in your younger years. That’s a much more difficult request for people actually in their 60’s, lots of people make it to that age with broken down bodies, various illnesses/prescriptions/whatnot & probably can’t see themselves continuing to do the work thing throughout their 60’s let alone 70.
There’s also the problem of holding down a job at that age, ageism exists in a lot of industries so a lot of these people are first in line for layoffs / taking a massive pay cut from their earlier jobs vs being a Walmart greeter or just being unemployed.
But sure… in theory if you manage to stay fit & healthy well into your old age & are able to hold onto your normal job then sure working into your 70’s or more could be plausible. People probably worry less about that stuff once they’re higher up on the corporate ladder - though at that point they should already have fat 401K plans & other investments so the social security aspect becomes less relevant.
Since you don’t want to use cryptocurrencies no one else should /s
I’ve donated plenty via crypto so haven’t seen it as an issue, if the receiver is cool with it then why not? Also for me it’s better than anything PayPal related, I’ve been banned on their platform so whenever I see any PayPal/Venmo links I just don’t donate since it’s impossible for me.
And of course if the receiver doesn’t want crypto that’s fine too, but hopefully they are accepting donations via some method I can donate with. The whole point is to be able to accept donations via some method both sender & receiver can work with.
My Pixel 7 has 12 voices, maybe it’s a Pixel / Google device feature?
I’ve never noticed how many voices the 3rd party devices have (Samsung, etc.).
Haha just re-watched that episode, great timing.
I suspect most people (including me) are probably lurkers/upvoters. The lurkers will have more to say when the new season is live :)
Also, where does that subscriber count come from? I looked at this community via 3 different Lemmy instances & saw different numbers on each of them… maybe that number is just specific to the amount of local instance members subscribed to that community. Here at lemmy.zip we’re at 18 subscribers for !futurama@lemmy.world
Admins yes. But maybe regular users should avoid Lemmy’s 2FA implementation for now (unless they have lots of experience with this).
With the current implementation it’s way too easy for an average user to attempt to get this set up & get themselves locked out of their own Lemmy account.
In the end I got nervous & was unsure which if any of my apps were working with Lemmy’s 2FA so disabled it for now. It’ll get better in a future update, just saying be careful going through the current setup.
I’ve been fully onsite basically the whole time, including during the pandemic, for me it’s been fine. Gets me out of my tiny studio apartment and keeps my work life at work. Also free A/C / heating at work.
The commute is also part of that decision making - for me the commute is a long walk outside to/from work every day. All that walking around outside sort of levels me out mentally & gets rid of any stress I had, not to mention the exercise.
