I spent half a day playing with https://regexone.com and got the fundamentals in place, after that it’s been practice in solving tasks at work. Rubular is awesome if you’re looking to test out a pattern

I don't think it will work for a monitor like that due to the rounded webcam, it needs a flat surface to clamp to. I think it would work with the more integrated style of webcam monitor like the LG 27MD5KL-B.

For my setup I have an external webcam sitting on top of the light bar.

I bought a BenQ desk lamp that sits on my monitor a few years back and have loved it since. Lights up my whole desk evenly and is out of the way. https://www.benq.com/en-us/lighting/monitor-light/screenbar-...
Thank you for the thoughtful reply.

Paying the large, important items first is a great idea. I like the idea of having some discretionary money that can be spent guilt-free as the main things are covered.

Thanks for sharing your approach!
Thank you!

I appreciate the advice. I am a firm believer in structuring things to encourage the desired mental load.

Thanks for your reply!

Yes we are planning to have a family at some point. We make similar levels of income and are both pretty thrifty. I would say we’re very aligned on our goals and habits in this regard but we’re figuring out the best way to structure things.

Thank you. The vaults idea is cool, it would be nice to have some discretionary money for small personal projects.

I am in a similar position with a priority date of June 2022 and have been current sin Jan 1. I would love to hear Peter's advice here. The endless checking of the application status is tough.
I was vitamin D deficient, daily supplementation has been a game changer for me.

Hi Peter, thanks for your continued presence on HN over the years!

What wait times are you seeing for I-485 processing of EB-3 green cards? Are the interviews still being skipped?

Eight Sleep - my topper leaked and damaged my mattress, I was not happy to say the least. I filled out an online form, got a response in minutes via email and after confirming my details they organized a replacement of both free of charge despite being out of warranty.
