I see a lot of good advice here, and I'm going to be late but approach it from a different angle.

If you've spent so much time with your spouse around, and now you're at home alone, and you're working remote, then you are going to need a lot of socialising outside of work, because remote work does not meet the same needs for seeing people in person (I've been there).

Humans are social animals, we need some interactions with others, and you are just getting way too little.

The issue is not 'how to be alone?', it's how to satisfy your social cravings with in-person interaction, once you have that at least some of the time, being alone for the rest of the time is much easier.

I had thought that tariff revenue goes directly to the executive branch for the president to spend without congressional oversight, but actually this is not correct.

In reality, all federal revenue - whether from income taxes, tariffs, or any other source - flows into the U.S. Treasury and becomes part of the general fund. Tariff money doesn't create a separate pool of funds that the president can spend at will. Just like with tax revenue, any spending of tariff proceeds requires congressional appropriation through the normal budget process. The executive branch cannot spend money that Congress hasn't specifically authorized, regardless of the revenue source.

The big pyramids at Giza were built around ~2500bc in the old kingdom of egypt. After that comes the first intermediate period, then the middle kingdom of egypt, then the second intermediate period, and then in the new kingdom of egypt, towards the end this tablet is written. (Not judging, just providing context around how old Egypt is)

I, nor my friend, is Jewish and quite liked it. (Still atheist programmers, so that might help)

I really liked the tracked system in the Netherlands. I feel like it really let the higher tier learn at a faster rate. Do you have links to the studies?

I still like reddit. I go to like r/fitness, leagueoflegends, themotte, askhistorians. I don't go to any of the political or news reddits, so whilst its fairly meme-heavy I still get that in-group feeling.

My uneducated guess would be that they have no outstanding stock, as they have not done an IPO. So you can't short against their zero public stock.

If you can pass your password database via something like dropbox (or your own nextcloud), then KeePass has had audits, for example by the European Commission's EU Free and Open Source Software Auditing project. And you don't have to trust your server that does the syncing.

Living in the Netherlands, the city center (practically no cars allowed) in 2 cities I've lived in over the past years, both have lots of shops going out of business. But I would identify this trend as people doing more online shopping, most of the major shopping centers are still in this city center, and it has parking garages near, but people are just doing less shopping in brick and mortar stores.

Exactly, it's just a white page for me.

And yet we have already sacrificed those babies to Moloch, because if you don't somebody else will.

There's a solution here that's being used in email. The user has to provide a proof of work.

It is very much the universities job to screen these people. They put out a credential that says a person learned such and such. If they do not learn anything, then that credential becomes worthless and the universities role is finished.
