Huh? CRT is what it was designed for so it'll look like it's supposed to. Thing is while they're practically being given away they aren't on every corner. A converter will try to improve the image to work on HD, I can't vouch if they all do the job well.

I still have my GXTV but it's behind some things which is why I got a converter to try for when I'm in a retro mood. Wait, might have had my Neo on it once or twice.

Name a state that requires a year before your average American citizen can purchase a firearm.

I think NY is one of the strict ones. I said a year because there's probably a long line due to a rush to get them now that some stores won't carry guns anymore (Dicks and Wally I think). I don't have interest in them so I haven't looked for specifics. Our area isn't big on crime. Or stuff to do for that matter, wouldn't know where to look for a range.

I shower both before bed, and when I wake up (not always right when I wake up now since not working though).

A hot shower helps me relax so I can fall asleep AND it helps my body feel cooler (especialy useful in the summer if you don't have good air conditioning). I can't fall asleep if I feel hot.

It also helps me wake up in the morning. My eyes feel crusty/tired and my brain foggy until I take a shower (Even tea dosn't cure that).

As I just proved you can certainly go longer than 1 week, but sheets are light and don't take up much room in a wash, so if you wash your clothes once a week (which I normally do if I am going out often), might as well wash the sheets, and by using top sheets, it's fast and easy.

And yeah, seriously, sheets feel better for the first few days after you wash them (I still have high quality/expensive thread count sheets from when I was married. I probably wouldn't spend that much anymore on new ones though).

Ugh, that's SO the same for me. I kinda dislike waiting to shower after work in the summer but the longer I wait (within reason) the cooler I'll be later. I don't have the right kind of window for AC.

A good glass of OJ is all I need in the morning, breakfast too of course.

See, this is one of my hangups. Like I said in my opening post, Im legit worn out from retail. People think that its standing standing around BS-ing with your coworkers and stuff but its not; its a lot of heavy lifting, kneeling, straining... not to mention the mental exhaustion. So I know I absolutely dont want to do any kind of labor work.

But... I dont think Id like just sitting at a desk all day either. The only upside to that would be that Id be more comfortable doing harder workouts knowing that I dont have to be physical for my job. So its like... what else is there? Im graduating college at the end of the year and planning on starting my job search then (or more likely at the beginning of next year so I can use my paid time off one last time to do something fun).

Honestly the labor part keeps me from needing a gym. Exercise is good as long as you don't have bad joints or something. I'm no model but I look younger than my age and I can probably thank my job to some degree.

Retail or not, find a job you like. Nothing is more important. What good is 5 figures if you want to jump from the roof at the end of the day, ya know?

So you'd rather waste the money you spent on the drone than remember a slightly more complex password than you're used to? This doesn't even surprise me, but still I find my face resting in the palm of my hand.

If you can't remember capital letters and symbols, you should perhaps work on developing your memory. That, or develop an algorithm like replacing spaces with question marks and capitalizing the second-last letter of every word (capitalizing the first letter of words is potentially risky because any dictionary-based cracking algorithm is going to try that) to make remembering it easier.

By any objective measure, requiring greater password entropy is a more competent security option than not doing so. Requiring password length over password entropy is better still (going by https://howsecureismypassword.net/, an 8-character password consisting of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols is significantly less secure than a 16-character password consisting only of numbers, as much as number-only passwords are a bad idea), but you really can't make a case for having more stringent password security requirements being "incompetent security options." That's just very obviously nonsense.

Furthermore, there aren't hundreds of other sites to use to apply for licenses in your municipality. You've got one option there. Your choice is between making a password they like or not getting the license you need. You went with the option that left you with a very expensive paperweight instead of the option that required you to remember slightly more characters than you're used to. Even then, where it's not a site you use often, you could get away with making a throwaway password that you forget and just resetting it when you need to use the site again, meaning you don't even need to remember anything "hard." That's unambiguously not a smart decision.

This, I can agree with. As far as password-based applications go, captchas accomplish nothing a login attempt limit can't also do. Password expiry is also a stupid idea in the vast majority of cases because it encourages people to use more easily-guessed passwords and/or to write them down somewhere (which won't necessarily be secure) while doing nothing to protect against account compromises unless the password is changed right in the middle of said compromise (which is extremely unlikely without having passwords change far too often to be practical).

Didn't waste. Fly it in my yard. As long as I'm not stupid with it then nobody really has a reason to investigate. All they do is make sure you're not dropping it on people or interfering with aircraft. Common sense stuff. While my drone wasn't a cheap toy it's not a professional model either. No scenic shots from 3 miles away.

I'm not creating bizarre PW's because they developed a crappy site. You can make strong PW's without all the fluff. I can't use 2 factor either since I don't have a cell phone. All things that make me use better designed sites and not theirs. (Speaking in general not just drone stuff.)

I have seen a site or two that offered a license without goofy-ass PW's but something felt off and I don't trust them. If I really wanted to there's always the mail in form.

Glad to see I'm not alone in detesting captchas. Google should take them and F off.

How so? If it's so complex I'd never remember it then I may as well never go there. It's not like there aren't hundreds of other sites to use with more competent security options. Captchas are a sin. It wasn't that big a deal when it was a few characters. Now you have to select pictures and when you win you still can't log in. Nope, 5 more sets of shit. Today all I get are errors of not being able to connect to their server. Haha.

IGN and some other sites started with nag screens 'please whitelist us'. After some searching I managed to block that too. Some of the images are blurry because of whatever I blocked but it's better than signing up.

This is so wrong. Most people have mild symptoms and you have to get it to spread it. It's not the critical situation the media makes it out to be and as long as you use the usual common sense methods to avoid the standard flu/colds, you're gonna be fine. If you have special reasons to be overcautious then fine stay put. Nobody is forcing anyone to go out.
