I'm open to all ideas!

So this sub seems fucking brutal when it comes to tattoo ideas. I've seen the Δ/t (change over time) tattoo floating around, but it seems pretty clichè, and it kind of frustrates me that it isn't technically correct. So my proposed alternative is this. Loosely translated to English, it's change is inevitable. More specifically the rate of change with respect to time is never 0. Does this make sense? Would you get that if you saw this inked on someone?

After college, I made some friends through a group on Meetup.com, but I've had to move for a job offer and start over again. Unfortunately there's nothing of interest to me on Meetup in this area. I've thought about creating my own group, but with how less active it seems post-pandemic, I'm thinking it could just be a waste of money.

I've tried Facebook groups, but the site seems terrible for searching for local groups since it only lets you search in specific towns and not regionally, and there's no way to filter out groups that have been dead for years, and it seems like most millennials and gen z have left the site.

I've tried friend finding apps like Bumble BFF, but most guys on there use it like Grindr, making it seem pretty dangerous if you're male. I don't know if there are any apps that actually take this sort of hookup use seriously, but Bumble BFF definitely doesn't address it.

The advice I've seen to just go to some event or gaming group or something isn't really useful for introverts, because only outgoing people are good at approaching total strangers in random places. I've also heard you'll generally only make friends at places you go to regularly, which seems true in my experience.

Does anyone have any advice for other ways to make friends in nerdier stuff besides Meetup/Facebook/Friend apps, or how to find any of these things more effectively than I have?

My wife just broke it off with me, saying she is no longer happy in our relationship. She and I were together for 7 years and now I'm hours away from moving back in with my parents.

My question is..... what should I do with the 500 dollars I will not have to pay in rent, in order to help myself feel better?

A) fly to Las Vegas (for 7 bucks because I'm an airport employee) and pay to operate a tank (there is an actual service for that.

B) pay some dude on etsy to make or sell a full set of Spartan Armor (Halo style, not 300)

C) purchase a new console and let the bad feels fly away with pretty lights? (Xbox Series X, Oculus Quest 2, or Nintendo Switch).

In a span of two years I went through three Pixel 3 phones. I don't do anything wrong with it like dropping it or submerging it in water.

First phone: lasted 1.5 days, screen flickered like a disco show. Second phone: lasted 11 months. My microphone went out after their update that they pushed out. Luckily it was still under manufacturer warranty and got it replaced for free. Third phone: I went to bed and when I woke up the phone was dead. Lasted one year. No warning signs at all. Can't do anything about it.

I was hoping it was a cheap battery fix, but the repair place said it's my screen and it would cost $200. Fed up with Pixel, I decided to never go with them again. So I elected to "upgrade" and my new phone has enough bloatware to kill a pig. Kinda sucks, and I know a lot of phones are similar with preloaded crap. Ridiculous that for a tech giant they can't make phone built to last.

So now I'm seeking expert advice on whether I should give the Pixel 5 a shot, or stick to the Samsung S20 FE.

Pick either LQG Theory or String Theory. In want to know which one the real scientists support!

Im an imagining learner, a daydreamer and i am madly wanting power.

For example, if the variable is "microphone is on", and the microphone on my computer turns on, the microcontroller would receive a signal from the computer, and start executing a certain program.
