No. You're restless. But you're asking here because you need someone to tell you to wait for a decent opportunity, which this is not.

Don't take the pay cut.

Don't give up one hour per day to commute.

Don't waste your time and money and health eating lunch away from home.

Keep your ears and eyes open for the right opportunity.

This isn't it. Don't take it. Wait for the right opportunity

I expect that's why the internet's been falling apart lately.

I'm sure it is.

It's been interesting to see people not really getting angry about it, yet.

This...might be canon now. There's a few conversations in Strange New Worlds that feel like the Universal Translator reached its limit of making Vulcans not-rude.

I don't recall the doctor being green, though?

C: Cheddar?

O: No. We don't get much call for it.

C: But it's the single most popular cheese in the world!

O: Not around here, sir.

Makes me suspect they have some lawyers on staff who were able to read America's laws -b which read to a lay-lerson as 'we absolutely always spy on everything you host on our soil'.

It’s for people who aren’t tech literate.

My experience installing Linux for tech illiterate parents and grandparents was lovely.

They never noticed they're not on Windows. They just wanted their two desktop icons - web and email.

Edit: Funny related story - they (grandparents) always rebooted with the power button after Linux told them it had updated - which was almost never necessary. I always just told them "good job", when they mentioned it, though.

when they run into HW issues they post on fourms and reddit like its personal tech support

For folks reading along, we absolutely are your personal tech support. Most of us owe way more than that to our mentors, and can never pay our mentors back, we can only pay it forward to folks like you.

Ask away!

It's often the ones we most suspected.
