Girlfriends, going to the bathroom together, spending a lot of time in there? ๐Ÿง The team is going to start some rumors...

My work sends out fake phishing emails and the people who click them get in trouble. Of course, they always come from one particular address that I blocked.

I wish they'd do more realistic emails though. "You won a prize you didn't apply for!" is pretty basic. If it was one of those fake invoice PDFs I always get on my personal, I'd totally let a trojan onto the work network.

Where I live we call it "Minnesota nice". As a transplant I can't speak it well, so I have no idea what anyone thinks of me. It's pretty frustrating.

In your android settings, go to network & internet > advanced > private DNS and paste the link dns.adguard-dns.com into the box. All ads will assume you have no Internet connection. Doesn't appear to work on YouTube, but covers anything from the Google Play store banners/videos/etc.

 

For as long as I can remember, I've had the worst periods out of everyone I know. They're straight up debilitating and by the time I finally recover from one, the next one starts. Any possible medication treatment either doesn't work or I'm allergic to it. I've tested negative for cancer, endometriosis, polyps, or any other diagnosable condition. The only thing I was "diagnosed" with is menorrhagia (excessive bleeding) and dysmenorrhea (excessive cramping) - basically symptoms with no underlying cause.

Some of the symptoms I'm dealing with include:

  • cramping for up to two weeks before bleeding starts
  • clots that are the length of my thumb (not my thumbnail, my whole thumb)
  • passing out from pain, which has happened more than once while I was driving
  • passing out multiple times a day from anemia, even with iron supplements
  • an inability to walk some days because my core muscles literally won't support me

I haven't had any luck with my regular doctor because they say I'm too young to decide I don't want kids. Seeing as I come from a long line of died in childbirth, I know for certain I don't even want to try. One doctor said I'd need a history of going to the ER. One time a former boss did drive me to the ER during work because he found me passed out for a half hour in a closet. The ER told me that since I was awake when I arrived there was nothing they could do - then they charged me $400.

So does anyone know of a doctor that might be willing to do the procedure based on this info? I'm in Minneapolis with Health Partners insurance, but I'd be willing to travel and pay out of pocket if need be.

 

So... During covid lockdowns I pretty much didn't leave my house. I did contract work that required zero human interaction, my groceries were contactless pickup, and none of my hobbies required other people. I recently started a new job and my social skills are downright awful. What are you supposed to do with your hands when you talk? What facial expressions should you make? How is your voice supposed to sound?

I did some internet research and found out I'm not the only one who lost their social skills after being isolated for 3 years. But anything I can find for advice is either generic/unhelpful, leads down the alt right rabbit hole, or is ungodly expensive. I'm hoping to find some basic introductory acting courses - voice training, method acting, improv, etc - that could help me stay flexible in conversations without freezing up. Is that possible? Are there any acting courses available to torrent?

Romantic killer was a lot of fun, but isn't that about high school?

The two big risks with jailbreaking are:

  1. You're running an old operating system that's missing modern security updates.
  2. Any app you install or website you visit has easier access to your root files, as opposed to the "sandbox" approach for a non jailbroken device.

I wouldn't recommend doing anything that requires your banking or personal info. This device should get its own apple account and if you need to pay for something, use a gift card. Only use jailbroken apps from trusted sources - after all this time, most sources that are malicious for older app versions should be easily identifiable with a little research. There is also iSecureOS which can check if you downloaded something bad or have a third party connected to your device.

The internet itself isn't a risk, it's what you do with it. Don't use your device for general web browsing, don't use the device outside of your home, don't use the internet after the device is set up, and use iSecureOS regularly to check the health of your device. As long as it is set up correctly and you're only using the iPad for one specific project, it should be fine.

If you have questions about how to jailbreak or where you can safely find apps, I'd recommend checking out https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/

Wait, THAT was the issue? (I thought it was another program that got sold, and the new owner bundled it with malware or something.) Is there something wrong with MuseGroup? I've been using MuseScore for ages.

Snow White with the Red Hair is my favorite hidden gem.

  • main character is a strong, independent, brilliant woman. She isn't abrasive or obnoxious, just confident in who she is. Her success in the story is entirely from her own efforts.
  • love interest is a well rounded character, not an Everyman stand in. His own strengths and weaknesses are plot relevant and he grows independently of the mc.
  • the romance progresses at a steady pace and isn't a will they/won't they for two seasons.
  • romance is one of many plot lines, not the only one. It's also slice of life and medieval politics.
  • and of course, everyone's adults. Everyone has normal body proportions and healthy personalities.

Jailbreaking allows full access, so you can sideload and there's an alternate app store called Cydia. Sometimes jailbreaking instructions will include installing it, or you may need to install it separately. You'll also need legacy iTunes. I haven't worked on anything quite that old but there are some YouTube tutorials still floating around.

I don't think jailbreaking would allow you to upgrade your operating system, but you could download/install apps yourself instead of using the app store. That would allow you to use older apps that meet your system specs.

When I Google "how to jailbreak iPad 1" there's lots of results. Is it a problem with the operating system being too old?

As long as she makes a little offering of pancakes to her god afterwards, it's all good.
