What are you on about, I can’t remember the last time I forgot anything. Memory like a steel trap my friends always say

I heard there is a browser extension which does this

In the era before the average net worth of a Congress person was in the tens of millions, it made sense because it prevented them from their wages being held hostage.

You’re facing an extra tough time right now because computing has optimized the hiring process so much, it’s difficult to get your foot in the door, and geopolitics are complicating things.

You’ll need to keep in mind that 21 is still quite early in your life, and the world and pop culture really pushes an “instant success” mindset that sets all the wrong expectations.

You’ll need to do several things, unfortunately all at once. First, deeply understand personal finances. Understand that you need to “pay yourself first” (savings/investments) and then what’s left over is what you have to manage expenses and debts. If you keep yourself out of debt you’re better off.

You’re going to have to continue school. You need an Associate’s at a minimum. Go to a public community or municipal college. With an AA from here, most states will grant you automatic admission to public state universities. Research this. Regardless of what your views are on the utility of college degrees, you have to play the game. A college degree is a clearing house to larger companies. Trade school, is another option.

You’re going to have to work, to finance your costs of living plus your education investments, unless you’ve got someone or some financial instruments which let you focus on school.

With respect to college specifically, you’ll get out of it what you put in. Many folks will say it’s a waste, that “they didn’t learn anything new” while they went through. Well, that just signals to me they phoned it in; maybe they got lucky and got a break on their job, too.

From there, you’ll have your personal finances on lock, and one or two degrees (AA and a BA, and maybe a certificate or two) and you’ll be much more competitive.

The real game changer after all this is networking. The saying goes: It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. The best jobs don’t get posted to corporate websites, or if they do, they’re posted for labor law compliance and they already have a candidate in mind. Become a master at socializing (≠ partying), hint: it’s mostly just listening to other people.

It takes time. Be patient. Stay focused. You’ll get there.

The article glosses over the outrage of the frivolous DMCA takedown in 2021 and the subsequent restart of the stream, a “new” one technically, a few days later but still officially LoFi Girl on the same channel.

All my homies use a circular one:

Awesome friend! Message me when you get your Tech :)

Having a shack is enviable! I travel full time, and having the portable setup I’ve got fits my missions. It sounds like you’ll be able to enjoy a dedicated space.

Get out to your local clubs. See a few so you find one with whom you get along the best. Someone’s always got gear they’re looking for a reason to let go—really good gear that’s been treated well but just doesn’t fit their use cases anymore.

Start with what you’ve got and you’ll pretty quickly find what you like to do. Personally, I’m a huge fan of dx (distance) contacts on low power. Bonus points if I’m at a park or on a boat.

Assuming you’re in the US, use HamStudy and memorize the answers to the questions (it’s legal). You can schedule an in-person test, or take them online.

Only preppers really care about shortwave radio these days.

I’d like to welcome you to the modern era of amateur (ham) radio, and encourage you to learn about the plethora of activities, equipment, and options available in the hobby now.

The miniaturization of electronics means operators are no longer bound to ham shacks. You can make contacts with as little as 1mW (Morse code), 1,500 miles with 10W SSB, (personal experience, from a park in North Dakota and a wire sent up over a tree branch), over 8,000 miles on 100W (also personal experience, with an antenna I built myself), with both home-made antennas or commercially procured antennas.

There are xOTA programs, POTA, SOTA, Scouts, BOTA—literally dozens of flavors of “On The Air” to suit all manner of individual interests.

And don’t even get me started on digital modes: RTTY, FT8, FT4, JS8, JS8Call to name a few, even old school Hellschreiber or SSTV (send fresh digital photos over the air).

There is a persistent old stereotype of amateur radio; it’s not like that anymore.

There are amateur radio operators aboard the ISS, they beam down SSTV images regularly, and if you’re particularly lucky and appropriately equipped, you can even talk with them and request a QSL card.

There’s quite a lot.

Remember, the medium is the message.

Only from an outside perspective. Inside the black hole it’s already next Tuesday.

I’ll think about it.

This may seem counter-intuitive, but air in this case is the problem, so filling it less introduces more air (which is compressible) versus liquids which are generally incompressible.

But OP mentioned the bottles they use are not great so the problem they face may really be about getting better containers.

Wait until you hear about pickling. A number of military aircraft at the “boneyard” At Davis-Monthan AFB are still suitable for service; their engines having been removed and pickled within a special crate beside the aircraft.

Marine desalination systems are pickled between extended periods of non-use.

And there’s also the traditional use for pickled.

Please think of the CEOs—they need a new yacht for when they’ve flown in on their G4 to the Hamptons and their summer yacht is in San Diego.

Same as Idiocracy, and here we are.

You make a fair point; maybe I’ve become too cynical, but probably not. Seems like everything everywhere is enshittified all at once lately.
