It really depends on the location. Every city has a different perception of their tap water in the USA.

Where I'm from we drink tap water with no filter etc.

As long as you can afford basic care for a pet, then you can have a pet.

food, water, bedding, the ability to keep it safe, vaccines(they're pretty cheap mostly and often done by animal shelters for free--neutering too).

There are so many pets in shelters who could live good happy lives but no one is there to adopt them.

Better a pet to live with an owner who cant afford their chemo when theyre 14 years old than to be euthanized at 2 years old.

Focus on how good of a life you've given your cat. Be there for it when it passes if you can.

My childhood dog had cancer and ended up having a seizure in my arms. Later I buried him myself.

Being there for him and burying him myself gave me a lot of closure and I'm proud I was able to be his friend and give him a good life.

That's amazing, I hope this works as it seems promising!

Interesting. In The US in The South(Southeastern US) when something is offered it's often polite to decline twice and then accept a third time if you actually want something being offered.

It actually does have a competitor, R. R has a superior ecosystem for quite a few data tasks. Mainly in the analysis/statistics space.

However aside from that R is vastly inferior.

Just some correction here for ppl who skim stuff:

The linked article says this was a trial in 2001. Only 1 school did it and it seemed to go well, but no other schools were willing to try it.

Leangains is a relic of time. Martin Berkharn(the guy who made it) was a VERY prolific poster on the bodybuilding.com forums around 2005-2012 or something like that. The tone of his entire brand is born out of that forum and style of communication. You had to fight for your life on there if you wanted to communicate.

I'm not excusing his tone btw just explaining.

I think the process of getting a car into the hands of a consumer takes much longer than 1 year so I wouldn't put this up to Elon being less involved.

When I was doing my CS degree I was watching youtube lectures in Hindi(I don't speak Hindi) and following along with what was on the board. I did my degree just before the wave of Indian teachers in English was a thing. Respect to these people.

Generally the "replace reddit" combo is:

Discord to function like an IRC chat and a Wiki to store the important information on the topic of the forum.

My entire online social life(which got really big due to friends moving and covid) is 100% on discord.

Many of my friends also don't have social media and we all exist within a discord server and share our lives and game together very often.

Discord has this buy in like a social media platform for a lot of people.

It's what I've described above--plus communities moving to discord and away from reddit.

If you do an online game now you will end up on discord if you're even halfway serious about the game.

One of the big things discord has allowed for my friend group is it's the first platform like this that has brought in the "normies". People who would never visit a forum and didn't even know teamspeak or ventrilo ever existed.

It's a smooth experience at almost all times on desktop and mobile.

If you go to college nowadays most of the majors have discords--and study groups have discords.

My friends don't even text me anymore, they DM me on discord and have for years at this point.

You can do whatever you want. As long as you're employed enough to meet your bills and retire one day.

I also haven't done the switch, but consider getting into a physical hobby AND also perhaps switching to a lower hours less stress role in your current field that will free you up to spend more time on your hobby.

I worked manual labor through high school and most of college. Be careful of a job that has repetitive motions that can cause you overuse injures. They're very common in the 50+ crowd in the blue collar area I'm from.

Good luck!
