That's rough man, I feel for you. My gf and I have one child, a son who is now 6, and we got so lucky with him that we're committed to only ever having one. He wasn't colicky, slept through the night every night, teething was a breeze, and was just generally an easy going baby. He never got even got sick, probably due to being breastfed. I still can't believe how easy we had it during those early years of his life. We aren't going to push our luck, because we know things will probably even out and our next child would be a total gremlin.

The Computer system I work with at work is so bad...and outdated it blows my mind each day.
It's basically a DOS system, but without the logic.
The back button is F4 not Escape.

I think the OS is labeled as 2001, version 2.?.
The main screen looks like an Atari game.

It is completely inappropriate to the size and volume of our store.
That's funny. I worked for my county for a few years, as recently as 2018, as a public assistance case manager. The system the entire state of Minnesota uses to process pubic assistance/medical assistance cases was literally a DOS program. You open it up and it looks like the computer terminals in Fallout lol. It made extensive use of the function keys (F4 is the back button), and you navigate the system by entering 4-letter commands. It was developed 30 years ago and the state has never upgraded because it works so well and it is too costly to do so.

Hit 'Windows key + P'. You'll see a pop-up on the right side of the screen showing you your projection options. There will also be an option to connect to a wireless display. Click that option, and you should see your smart tv was long as they are on the same network. Connect to your TV, you will see a prompt on the TV asking if you want to allow the laptop to connect (Samsungs do this, maybe not all TVs). Use the remote to select yes. Once you are connected, you change between screen mirroring or using the TV as a second screen in the projection options.

In some of the old Battlefield games you could jump in a jeep, get to full speed, jump out at full speed (without taking damage), and the jeep would keep going and roadkill anonymously anyone they hit.

It was kind of hilarious to see people rage trying to figure out wtf happened and teenage me loved it.
My cousin would do shit like that all the time in Battlefield (and pretty much any other game). He had a real knack for figuring out stuff like that on his own. No matter what game, he always manage to find the most hilarious ways to team kill with no consequences, and Battlefield games presented a lot of opportunities for him.

My favorite would have to be what he called "helo hopping" in Bad Combat 2. At the start of a match he would immediately grab the UAV, liftoff and then "hop" onto the center of the rotor of the nearest helicopter, which was was almost always fully loaded and about to liftoff. The UAV would cause it to instantly explode, killing all aboard. They never could figure out why it was happening either. I could only shake my head but it was hilarious at the same time.

Was it challenging learning how to do that? How challenging is image processing?
Not at all. I found that's it's easier than any other type of photography. Taking photos of the night sky is very simple once you learn how to focus manually in the dark. Using a polar mount and getting it aligned took about 30 minutes the first time, now it takes minutes. I've found that astrophotography gets easier and quicker every time you go out and try.

Editing is pretty straightforward and easy for the types of night sky shots I take. I just use Lightroom to make adjustment, and export to Photoshop for more advanced things like panoramas or blending multiple exposures.

It's never too late to back to school. I went back to school at age 32 in the fall of '18. I attended my local community college pursuing an AA. I earned that in the spring of '20 after two amazing years. Had a lot of really great experiences there.

I transferred to a 4-year university a semester early, took a ton of credits each semester, including the summer semester, and graduated with a bachelor's in Business Administration this past spring. Covid defined my experience there, since the pandemic happened during my first semester. Didn't get an opportunity to spend much time on campus. It worked out well though, with everything being pushed online.

I met the requirements for acceptance into my school's accelerated MBA program and spent the 2020-21 school year taking MBA courses concurrently with my undergrad classes. That cut an entire year off my graduation timeline. After I closed out my bachelor's, I took 3 courses this past summer and another 3 this fall. Now, I'm two weeks away from finishing my final semester and earning my MBA.

So, that's my experience as an older student. I didn't mention any of the amazing and life-changing personal and professional development experiences that I've had because of school. Easily the best decision I've ever made.

"Master Chief dove for cover as two grunts fired plasma pistols his way! The errant plasma bolts melted through four inches of solid steel."

Obviously paraphrasing lol, but everything seemed so much deadlier. Like a troupe of Grunts with needlers was a cause for serious concern, God help you if there was a Jackal with a shield and plasma pistol in the mix.

Check out prices on what you've got. Like what was a $5 becket value Kobe Rookie card could easily be $50 ungraded and up to like $500 graded PSA 8. Also some random jordans have gotten expensive even ungraded.
I'm a member of one of the larger MJ card groups on Facebook. It's unbelievable what the rare inserts are selling for. Even some of the random less sought after cards catch fire. It's died down a bit but still pretty crazy.

I used to collect from the early 90s to around 2001. Mostly baseball, but some basketball and football. I got a ton of Jordans (nothing super valuable though), have a couple lesser Kobe rookies. As a kid I, unfortunately, only had a "Collector's Choice" budget and couldn't afford the premium packs too often.
