I love Fruit Cake. Every year we talk about making one from scratch, but always forget about it the 3-6 months in advance you need to start making it before it gets really good.

This would work, but would require additional effort and kinda cancel out the "at a glance" appeal to it.

That seems like a constructive solution, but it would add cost to the project.

I hadn't considered the cost of operation... An old LCD would likely be a bit power inefficient and would likely cost more to operate over the course of a year than buying a calendar.

This is a good use for the r-pi. Not very demanding from a processor perspective and super useful. If you happen to have an old LCD lying around being wasted, it would even be cost effective compared to buying a paper calendar each year

Consoles aren't typically dumbed down. When they are new, they are typically quite competitive to current generation PCs in a similar price bracket.

I believe I'm doing pretty well with my grocery shopping. Thanks.

To be fair, I think the savings in food would more than pay for the additional expense in electricity. I think that the biggest flaw in the plan is the space requirement.

I think the folks that are self-employed publishers on the Youtube platform are doing really fun work, and I hope they get to keep doing it.

I agree. I feel like savings should be a 2nd priority though. Before you even think about rainy days, you need to get yourself a battle plan and start working in that direction. When the worst is over, then grab that month worth of savings to keep yourself from slipping back. When that 1 month turns into 3, convert a…

I can't masturbate without a good mosaic. I'm considering crafting one for my wife to wear.

What about not stressing over the crap you can't control.

I am hard to shop for, because I can fulfill all of my needs/wants all by myself. I didn't say that their gift isn't good enough for me. I'm saying that gift cards are bad. I guess if they really felt forced, cash is a better option than gift cards... it is the same thing, but without the crap.
