You only need a key to activate Windows. Windows 10 and later will install and run just fine without activation.

Not to worry. Before it explodes, our sun will expand into a red giant much larger than the orbit of the Earth.
No one on Earth will be around to witness the explosion. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
Yep. Leave them in the pants pocket until I transfer them to a fresh pair.
Sleeping me is not to be trusted with such things. 😴
This didn’t stop being a problem for me until I made a long term effort to only allow my keys to be in my hand, in the ignition of my car, or in my pocket. Not my coat or jacket pocket either. My pants pocket. I may not always have my jacket, but I always take my pants. Opening a door and leaving them in the lock is also not allowed. I used to do that and then leave them there all night long. No matter how inconvenient it may be at that moment, this rule is never to be broken.
Keys are in the hand, ignition, or pocket only!
I never let go of them unless they are going in the ignition or my pocket.
It was hard at first and I continued to lose them for a while. But I kept at it and because I did this the pattern is now habit and my keys haven’t been lost in years.
I use it to control some of the lights in my house. WiFi enabled plugs and switches are more convenient than having to go to each one and manually reprogram them. In my bedroom, I have one set to turn on every day at 7am and again at 9am in case I turn it off and go back to bed. It’s basically a silent alarm clock.
I also have WiFi control for the mini-split (AC and heat) in my workshop. I can view the set temperature vs the actual temperature from my phone and I can adjust the temperature remotely if I want.
The main character is an unemployed mathematician with schizoid personality disorder whose social interactions are mostly with his old professor and the people in his apartment building. The movie is a thriller, but the main character’s isolation from the rest of the world is rather stark. This is helped by the fact that it was filmed in high-contrast black and white.
I had a cat who did this. I loved it and was a bit disappointed when he stopped a few weeks later.
You said he is young. He will likely calm down as he gets older.
If the crying really bothers you, pick up the bowl as soon as he stops eating and don’t put it down again until the next meal. Then there will be fewer clues when it is time for food. He will still know, but it will require more effort on his part.
So that’s what that guy’s name is! Never knew before. Thanks!
Still don’t really know who he is. Also don’t care.
Start small with important things, like your keys and your phone, and create a contextual place for them. In the home they are always in the same place. The location should be convenient a table or a shelf is great. The important part is that you never set them down anywhere else.
When you are out, they are on your person but always in the same place. Never set your phone or keys down while you are outside of your home. They are in your hand or in your pocket. There are no other places to put them.
My phone is always either in my pocket, on the arm of my big chair, or on my desk on or next to the charger. I try to never put it down anywhere else. My phone is almost never lost. My keys are similar. They are either in my hand, in a keyhole, or in my pocket. I never put them anywhere else and I refuse to put them down anywhere but my pocket.
Get in the habit of refusing to put important things down unless you can put them away properly and they will get harder to lose track of. Once those habits are strong, slowly expand to more things having a specific place in your world and you will find that things go missing less often.
UPS used to give real time tracking info here, but that disappeared sometime in mid to late-2023.
Agreed on the rest though, Amazon and UPS delivery are both much better than FedEx. I could not think of FedEx being a good retailer until they can improve the quality of their deliveries.
MS Solitaire, Space Pinball, and Minesweeper come to mind. They were not my favorites, but I know a few people who have a few hundred hours on one or more of those.
For me it’s C&C Generals Zero Hour. I have had a copy since it released in 2003, it still works, and I still play it in single player mode at least once a week. It’s great because it does not require a huge time commitment and campaign missions take about an hour or less to complete. To me it’s one of the best RTS style games out there. My second favorite? C&C Red Alert 2 and Yuri’s Revenge.
I have also very much enjoyed the Assassin’s Creed series up to AC Odyssey.
I was looking at one of those new washer/dryer combo units recently (I have heard these are common in Europe but they are fairly new to the US market) and it had a unique feature where you could fill the detergent reservoir, scan the barcode on the bottle, and the machine would dispense the appropriate amount of detergent for the load.
I can see connecting to the Internet on occasion might be helpful here to update the local barcode database, but I doubt it should need updating more often than once or twice a year. Does that mean the feature will work without constant live updates? Probably not, but I doubt it needs to update very often to remain current.
Not sure what ‘low end’ is for you but if you like puzzle games, The Talos Principle (2014) is fairly low end (plays great on my 6 year old PC) and can be completed in about 6-8 hours. Though, because it’s a puzzle game, it could take much longer than that. Right now it Is $4.49US ($9.98US for the gold edition) on Steam. Puzzle logic is similar to Portal.
Somehow, I have a feeling this effort will actually help the DOJ identify who these people are.
Interestingly, I learned how to make ranch dressing from scratch a few years ago. I always have the ingredients on hand, so I can make ranch dressing whenever I want.
The proportions are NOT super important. At least 1 teaspoon of each of the main dry ingredients but you can use more if you want.
Most of that list is not brand specific.
Smart plugs! These outlet switches come in packs of four for about $25 dollars. Once installed and set up in the app, you can automate them with scheduled timers or turn them on or off remotely. They will also integrate with Home Assistant, Google Home, and Alexa.
Maybe you could spray them with a little silver or gold cake paint? It’s made specifically for spraying on food and gives it a metallic color. Probably would wear off in a day or two, but won’t hurt the snakes.
A FUCKING FEE for a $10 an hour job? WTF? Nope!
My first thought was anti-labor.
