IT Question: Networking

Not sure where y'all are scattered across this 3rd rock from the Sun but if you live in the contiguous 48 a new player is coming. Starlink is the concept of SpaceX to bring high-speed, low-cost internet to the masses. They have 240 satellites in low orbit already. Fairly soon they will have 360-400 over North America and go live to all of us this year! Personally, I can't wait.

I have a question about a male friend.

Flat out just flirting. A tease. He knows you are looking. Next time you see him bring it back up. If he is still curious he can put his mouth where his eyes are.

IT Question: Networking

Good timing on this post. The March issue of Consumer Reports has a rating of at least two dozen routers. Make sure it is compatible with WiFi 6. That is the newest standard that was just set. Get it now so you don't have to upgrade later.
My pick would be the ASUS AX6000 (RT-AX88U).

A friend asked me to lend him money...

You have zero obligation to help anyone financially. It would be easier to say no if you had not helped them in the past. Stick to your guns. Yes they will be b*tt hurt but that's on them. Hopefully they will get over it.

i just quit this site.

As a former school counselor I am used to immature teens using f-bomb this and f-bomb that. They haven't learned how to express themselves any better. And when just about everything in your life causes you distress it is fair time to consider mature professional psychiatric therapy perhaps along with some coping skills. We are the mature adults in the room. We still are willing to help but you can't point to every living object and blame them for your lot in life.
If you decide to leave that is your choice. Probably not the last wrong decision you will ever make.

Someone stole my debit card information.

I would think you would need about 600 building permits and environmental/traffic studies.

Truffle oil? Sure! I'll give it a go. Fancy. I would have never known.

We have a high-end movie theater here that serves it but is not on their menu. They bring you a big bowl of popcorn (free refills) and several shuffle cups of truffle oil slightly warmed. With a comfortable choice of liquid libation and a good movie it makes for a wonderful evening.

I, personally, try to help solve current problems and try to help put past trauma into perspective. Whatever happened, happened. It can't be changed; so reliving it is, IMO, counter productive.

It's good to be a "surviving" but far better to be "thriving" and that requires putting your focus and attention to TODAY.

Please, we can NOT choose! If it depended on our will, I don't think any of us would choose to relive / have flashbacks..

Statements like these are not helpful at all, can be triggering and harmful to people who battle trauma.

Please, we are already traumatized and retraumatized by people minimazing, denying, or simly choosing to cover up the abuse that had been done to us.

Statements like these are a huge burden on people fighting trauma.

I'm at a very low point myself, and am not trying to pick a fight, but please, GIVE US A BREAK, if you can't help.

Thank you. Shalom xx

It is not good bye for me. I think this is the best place for you to get a little help dealing with your past. None of us here is perfect but you can vent all you need to. We are here. Period. Full Stop.
