My provider keeps screwing me with estimated readings in excess of $400+, when my actual usage has been consistently under $200/mo. Granted they do credit the average when they actually take a real reading, I'm not a loan company and I'm getting frustrated overpaying.

I'm learning about electronic components. I believe this is the part which has broken and made this heating pad unsafe to use. Well, unusable, not just unsafe lol.

I tried posting to the Minecraft subreddit, but the post would get deleted immediately. I just want to show someone!

It's mostly silent, minus the dispensers clicking and occasional water splash, but it's much smoother than a flying machine, and not to terribly slow, rising at a little over 2 blocks per second. It's a good way to transport things vertically

I have a couple sites on Google and since they sold to square space I thought I'd try to keep my stuff there. But I can't figure it out. Square space is a site builder with a GUI and I can't find anywhere to just deploy my site to them as a react app. I have found a few areas where I can add some code, but they are for specific areas of the provided templates. I've even tried to use developer mode, but it looks like you still need to follow their template rules to get anywhere.

It's been a huge headache, Google made it so easy.

My son loves the adrenaline rush of getting scared, particularly with jump scares, however, I have a lot of difficulty finding a game or show which is appropriate for him. He is prone to nightmares, and more adult-oriented "kid horror" is too much (Poppy's Playtime, Cartoon Cat?) And others like Siren Head. His peers exposed him to those things and made my own nights pretty sleepless for a while.

It's a tough plate to fill, but surely there's gotta be something. He's played Luigi's Mansion and got a kick out of that. That game would be a good example I suppose.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I know I'm playing this very late. Anyway I was pretty deep in a certain cave (1,200 ft) with a leviathan and I was taking care of some stowaways on the hull of the sub. Thinking it'd be more fun to use the cannon instead of the knife, I blasted away. A couple seconds later I watched in horror as all my lockers clip through the cyclops and sink to the bottom.

The leviathan would attack on every pass and the lockers would either get blasted away even farther apart or respawn entirely. In the end, they all despawned... I was working on building a base with a platform shield over top so I could collect everything again, but it all went poof.

Luckily, I saved within the last 30 minutes... But if I hadn't have, I would have lost all the resources (about 40+ lockers full) and I probably would have just quit the game lol.

I have looked at Google Cloud Run, Microsoft Azure and Kamatera so far. These are free trials, and I deleted and removed all projects after playing with them.

I am working on a chatting application for my portfolio. I'm using MERN to create the app and I can run it locally and connect to the local server with any device on the network. Before I got into this I didn't realize setting up a cloud server was going to be so confusing, and that's after trying to watch tutorials on youtube and going through documentation.

On google, people have talked about VM Instances, (Bare Metal Solution?) Servers, networks, VPC's, VPC Networks, serverless VPC, etc. and I have explored all of these things and I just don't understand why it's so hard to get a node.js file running somewhere remote.

Microsoft Azure and Kamatera were pretty much the same experience.

I'm not the smartest or faster person, I've got cognitive issues, but if anyone can kind of give me some simple steps or explanations to get me started in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

I don't need a complete write-up or guide, just a push in the right direction for my specific project, which is just getting my node.js code somewhere so the client can connect to through it. I think?

Hey, saw this community and that it was nearly empty so wanted to add a little about myself to break the ice.

I'm high-functioning according to scientific terms, but man it's a struggle every day. I am very socially inept in most situations, I've become a kind of hermit. But that's fine with me because ai have my wife and son and that's all I need.

I also have ADD and Bipolar Disorder, and although not specifically diagnosed, i wonder about ASPD and AVPD as well. To top it all off, I also have constant brain fog with short moments of clarity, and aphantasia.

Yes this all really sucks, but it's not all bad. I have a supporting wife, and awesome (and crazy) son who is just like me... Which makes me upset about what he may go through in life, but also glad because I can give hime real, understanding support he won't get from most people.

I spent 8 years as a carpenter (retail before, but couldn't keep it up due to the customer contact.) And I am now a certified web developer and continually learning.

I didn't grow up with medication, or support, but I wish I did. I got on meds late, and honestly I could be so much farther ahead now if I had them sooner.

Anyway that's all I've got, I don't know how to exit social situations so yeah. The end. See ya!
