$50 is a bit high for a 14 year old game. It’s great that it’s on PC, but I think I will wait until there is a sale.

I am not a developer but I do sometimes recommend software to end users. Unity is dead to me. I will never recommend Unity to anyone for any reason.

Here are a few suggestions:
Volunteer at a soup kitchen or a food pantry
Sign up for a church email newsletter and go there when they are doing pot-luck meals (bring a dish to pass)
If you are into sports, sign up to volunteer as a coach.
Don’t buy all of your groceries all at one time. Buy a few things each time and go more often. Even if you don’t meet or talk to anyone but the workers, you will be around other people.

Fun fact: a small amount of vinegar in the cooking water helps to keep potatoes from getting mushy.

I like my Crocs, but for me they are not a very good shoe for my feet.

I have one pair of Crocs that I bought last year. First thing I noticed was the textured footbed. It’s kinda spiky and not very comfortable to me. I have been amazed at all of the comfort claims due to this. You can and do get used to it, but the first couple of weeks is not comfortable at all.

Also, I’m a big guy and Crocs don’t offer much in the way of arch support. I have never had arch issues until I wore Crocs on a regular basis.

I also lose interest in certain things when asked about them. I try to continue anyway, but I am not always successful at doing that. There is a project I am currently working on that I am struggling to complete because of this.

For me it’s the anxiety of disappointing the other person. I would rather they are disappointed right now rather than make an effort and have them still disappointed.

As I have gotten older I have learned to mostly ignore the the anxious thoughts, because they are often not true, but they are always there and I am not always able to shake those feelings.

Talk with your doctor. It’s likely they can help you with this.

The biggest issue is Apple and their closed ecosystem. I can modify, remove, or disable most of the apps and settings I don’t like on an Android phone. I can even load a different OS if I want. With Apple most of that isn’t even possible.

Forming relationships are all about risk. If you know this much about her already it’s possible she already likes you!

Go for it!

Don’t threaten me with a good user experience.

I buy Samsung SSDs when I can afford them, Kingston when money is tight. Samsung is faster, especially their NVME drives. Both have been very reliable for me.

These are used drives that have about 35K hours (4 years) of power on time.
Good quality drives to be sure, but maybe not as reliable now as they once were.

I do this too. Speedway and Shell play video ads on their pumps with no obvious mute options. I don’t buy gas there.

Cuisinart food processor

KitchenAid mixer

Vitamix blender

Kan chef knife

Silicone rubber spatula (won’t melt)

Stainless steel measuring cups and spoons

Those holes are almost certainly made by a woodpecker. That probably isn’t the real problem though. That wood is almost guaranteed to be infested with insects.

For me, I started thinking about the cost and the smell every time I had one. I quit cold turkey a few weeks later and felt grossed out every time I had one after that. I quit in 2009 and haven’t had a cigarette since 2010.

Cigarettes smell really disgusting to me now.
