Best decision he ever made tbh

Same rules in the Lindt factory! You're always allowed to eat as much chocolate as you like, the only limit is how much you can physically stomach.

I didn't even work there, I just lived close enough to smell it every morning in like 2018. My chocolate consumption drastically plummeted and still hasn't recovered lol

A question for GNOME/KDE users

I like Gnome because it doesn't have a Desktop that I can crowd with Icons and random files. The few times I tried KDE I just didn't really jive with it because the text and icons were super small by default and the whole handling was just..idk, too click-y? Yeah, it can all be adjusted and stuff, but default Gnome is just closer to my preferences than default KDE.

The meds that can make the heat harder to handle

Ooh, I started Escitalopram like a week ago (on top of already taking ADHD meds and Beta Blockers). Really explains the increased dehydration I've been having. Actually it would be nice if it made me more susceptible to heat though, usually I'm really really cold if it's less than like 35°C outside. Even now my room is like 26°C, so I'm on a maxed out heat pad and under a blanket

A hypothesis

Reply in thread

I'm not even that tech illiterate, but I almost did that... My laptop was being slow, and I still had like 4k€ in overtime hours that I could buy Hardware from at work (it's a great deal because I neither have to pay VAT on the hardware nor income taxes on the money from the overtime), so I was like, eh, might as well get a new laptop.
So then I read up on what laptop brands are out there, found out about Framework, and when I excitedly told my electrical engineer husband about it he was like "You knooow that you can easily replace parts in any laptop, right?"
Well, I didn't know that (just kinda assumed laptops were more like phones than they are like desktop PCs), so I ended up just ordering a new SSD and new RAM for my laptop. It's back to being butter smooth, but I have a hunch that cleaning the dust from the fans while I was in there was a very large factor in that haha
