((So... the big secret recently is... my folks got their eviction notice for smoking in the building... so, they have a meeting with the caretaker and HRA in the afternoon... I'll be there (we're in the same building). In their favor... the caretaker had a cop, and went to HRA without talking to the manager, so maybe that might be in their favor... dunno. so, things are up in the air right now.))

Did you know San Francisco's original name was Yerba Buena, meaning "Good Herb" because these plants are so abundant there.

 

[Jon Eckart]

((We're appealing it, for whatever good that'll do. For smoking in their apartment. I wanna get hammered tonight))

 

[Jon Eckart]

((So... the appeal date is the 19th... they'll try for an extension. The main place a friend of theirs is pushing for has a waiting list, and beyond that, the friend is in a 1 bedroom that's about 1/3 smaller than mine... there's no way they could fit in there (and no ceiling light in the living room or bedroom... just a switched outlet in each). I'm expanding the search in the morning to neighboring areas... low income housing, section 8, all that))

 

[Jon Eckart]

((OOC: So, Thanksgiving is canceled, so is Christmas, for this year. Basically, when I'm awake, I'm hunting for more apartments that they can apply at. So far, lots of waiting lists, no headway. The folks are low-income (SSI), but the eviction on the 30th kills everything. Apparently, the building manager has heard from a few residents that the folks are evicted... the three of us keep to ourselves, and have only told a few people what's going on... and, then there's the charges...))

 

[Jon Eckart]

((Question: So, I started taking Zoloft (generic) 2 weeks ago... is it normal while on it, to not have emotional reactions to songs that previously had me bawling?))

 

[Laverna]

@Jon Eckart . I hated being on Zoloft made me likemade

 

[Claire Yeon]

Good evening, terrestrials, extra and otherwise. I hope you are all well.

 

[Jon Eckart]

@Lucy If you use Chrome, it should share your password between devices... though that depends on how you have it set up (and, if it's the same account... I can be on either of my machines and it just autofills).

 

[Jon Eckart]

@Tenchi Masaki Out of curiosity, do you know if it's worth it to rent out GPU/CPU time on a rig like mine... Threadripper 3960X with a Titan X, 32Gigs RAM (for now... hope for more RAM someday)

 

[Jon Eckart]

Kinda looking at vast.ai, but something that doesn't require a whole OS install would be better (haven't really ever done *Nix, so not sure about that environment)

 

[Jon Eckart]

@Lucy2 try resetting your password, and write it down exactly and try that
