Is it a machine for folding envelopes or cardboard boxes?

I like this idea, unfortunately I don't think I can trust everyone in the house with it quite yet!

I really like this idea! Will definitely use this!

 

Looking for a buy it for life option for a lantern. Will mostly be used during power outages and only occasionally otherwise. Ideally it would hold a charge well and be bright enough to allow reading/puzzles/games/etc.

Yes, that's the problem. You should probably start by downloading the official raspberry pi imager and choosing a distro from there to install to the SD card.

https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

There are other ways to find images and plenty that aren't available there but that's the easiest way to get up and running. You'll probably want to start with the default raspberry pi os and start experimenting with more customized os's later.

 

I'd like to be able to find a list of posts I've actually opened do I can go back and find articles and such that I didn't finish reading. I can't find a way to do this so far but if there is a way I'd be happy to learn!

Your step 4 is to ask them on a date. Not to hang out as friends but on a real date.

You could say something like "I've really enjoyed spending time with you and am wondering if there might be more than friendship here, would you like to go on a date Friday? There's a show I think you'd like and I'd love to take you to dinner before?"

This step ensures that you're clear there is mutual interest. Then when you're at the show you know it's likely appropriate to hold hands and see if the spark continues, grows, or shrinks. If it continues you can take it as fast or slow as you and they feel comfortable with while checking in regularly by saying things like "I'm really enjoying this, would it be ok if I kissed you?"

You are the only one who knows your comfort reading social cues (and honestly, I still check in like this with my wife who I've been with for 16 years from time to time to ensure I'm not misreading cues).

Be up front and clear about what you're hoping for at each step and open to the possibility that they might be hoping for something different!

I agree with your conclusion but I think you have your numerator and denominator swapped.

$1,000,000,000 / 339,996,563 citizens = ~$2.94 / citizen

I'm pretty sure we're talking about going around South America if we're talking about the Panama Canal...

In the school district that I live in (and where my kids attend school), elementary school starts earliest and middle/high school both start at roughly the same time.

I've found that this works really well since my youngest wakes up and is ready to go earliest anyways, I don't have to adjust my schedule because they're out of the house before I have to get to work and I would need after school care regardless. My older kids can more or less fend for themselves before school so I don't need to worry about them while I get to work before they leave.

If elementary school started at 9 like high school and middle school I'd have to organize care for my youngest both before and after school since I'd be working at both times.
