My VPN is down as of yesterday after work, meaning I cannot access my Netflix, Youtube, Google, and a bunch of other stuff I like to go to at home until something is solved. With a big national holiday coming up in two weeks, it’s possible it’s down because of Chinese government controlling VPN capabilities. I’m hoping that’s not the case, because I don’t think I can handle no Netflix or Youtube for that long. Thankfully I’m still able to access these features at work, but I don’t want to come to work to use the VPN.
So, my posting might go down a bit in the coming days.

stringypoo that's rough - I hope it resolves in your favor shortly. I'd forgotten how much of a big deal a VPN is in your case.

Can’t see the shoutbox on mobile, which is the medium I use 90% of the time. Could that be enabled in any way?
Or am I a typical end user and overlooking something totally obvious?

So my VPN is off and on, sometimes down, sometimes I can find an entry point. Found out from my VPN provider that an increase in censorship due to the Hong Kong protests is what is causing instability for my VPN. This Hong Kong protest nonsense has been going on for quite a while now. They need to cut it out! Ugh!
This week has been tough. As a result, I haven’t gone to the gym once this week. There’s still tomorrow though. Hope I’ll get enough energy and motivation together for that.

I love having a job where it's cool to have an occasional beer.

I did laundry the other day. The next morning (Thursday), I was getting ready to go to work, and I was looking for my earbuds that came with my iPhone 6s (so not the Bluetooth ones), as I tend to listen to music on my walks out, on the way to the school, and also during free periods and after work. However, I couldn’t find my earbuds. I considered that I did wash the pants I wore on Wednesday, so I went to where I had hanged them up to dry, and sure enough, the damn things were in the back pocket. I was skeptical, but they looked quite fine and clean and all, so I decided to give it a try. First feeling after plugging them in and playing some Screaming for Vengeance album Judas Priest was a very disorienting feeling. I could tell something wasn’t right, but I couldn’t identify it. I realized that the left bud was way softer than the right.
I did some search later that day on people who had also washed their Apple earbuds, and there were several pages of people who were boasting about how clean their near earbuds were and also the fact that theirs still worked like new after the accident. Such a shame I felt after reading all that to see that I got unlucky with mine. I did later find at least two people who had also reported losing a lot of sound in the left side bud, both saying the bass was gone.
Lamesauce. Now that I think about it, the iPhone 11 phones just came out. Don’t really understand why they have two and three rear-facing cameras. I wouldn’t mind if Apple just made phones that were just, you know, phones with maybe a decent single camera. I do intend to stay Apple-branded this time around due to the ease of using it with my iPad, keeping my accounts and everything the same and all, but not sure if I really want to invest in the iPhone 11 yet or not. So much money...especially compared to the Huawei phones here.

avarice I feel like I haven't seen you post in a while, how is life treating you my dude? Hey dude!! Yeah I have been MIA for a while now. I’m in a great relationship, graduated college, still serving sports bar food and booze. Trying to climb my way up into an entry level position in the education industry and poor as hell, but otherwise life is great! Hope you’re doing well Corvyy
