Re:Create a shortcut for even lower phone brightness on Monday November 06, 2023 @02:58PM (#38168036)
We actually have a slider bar in the quick menu drop down. Also Night Light which removes blue light (also in the drop down). These can also be programmed to go on/off at set times (bedtime mode). Meanwhile, my husband as never been able to locate any of these in an iPhone without the help of this thread.
I always wondered what it would feel like to not have weeks, or even years, but to live life in a continuous stream of days looking forward. I'm not sure if we would feel a horrible lack of closure or accomplishment, or if it would make us more productive and forward looking and moving. I wonder how much of my life I waste just trying to close out a week/month/year.

Is there an answer list anywhere? It seems to me that some of these questions could have multiple answers depending on how you interprt the question. I know it is more about the thought exercise, but on some it would be nice to have the correct answer in order to learn how to find the solution.

This might be the case for some individuals, but in the examples I have been given, this was not the issue.

There are a few instances of being able to collect both right now. I've heard of some people who manage manual labor type companies (painters, tree trimmers, landscapers, etc) that offer to pay laborers cash (which would be in addition to the unemployment benefits) and they cannot get workers. It's like the unemployment is a high enough amount that they'd rather collect just that and not work to earn more. Perhaps there is a magical amount which would convince people to collect benefits and still work to earn additional money.

Diapers are cheaper, and disposable diapers more widely available. That could potentially shift the scales for what is more difficult (hand washing diapers vs training at a young age whereas now: disposable diapers and wait until training is easier)
Who did you work for? I am interested in getting more involved in this exact field and would appreciate any helpful direction :) I am digesting anything I can find on the topic, but I feel it is greatly underappreciated still, as I agree there is MUCH to be discovered.
