Vagility is a great word- it has a good sound and rhythm and the added bonus of sounding like it is probably something rude. Might be limited opportunities to work it into a conversation but I am willing to wait Thank you.

AI Angst 1 year ago

I think he is talking education as in school/college/university rather than learning?

I too am finding AI incredibly useful for learning, I use it for high level overviews and to help guide me to resources (online formats and books) deeper dives. Claude has so far proven to be an excellent learning partner, no doubt other models are similarly good.

Also the first real programming language I learned, on an early version of DOS (3.?). I wrote a utility to encode data which was burnt to Eeproms for VHF radio's (fixed base units) I don't remember the details but it was cool to write a tool to solve a problem. Fun times.

See my other reply re training, employers here in WA generally want a Cert III minimum. There are jobs available but the pay is pretty poor. There are plenty of industries paying better for equally physical work (albeit not in a garden environment) and not requiring certification.

I did a 6 months Cert III in horticulture, a Permaculture Design Certificate and read and watched as much as I could. Every day is a school day and I am still learning. Not sure about where you are but here in Western Australia the paid jobs in horticulture are very low paying (my 2 day forklift licence is worth more in the work place) but one of those jobs could be worth considering for the learning opportunity - I have been working part time in a nursery whilst I build up clients for my own garden maintenance business.

Retrained last year as a horticulturalist after 30+ years in IT and communications. I am fitter and healthier than I have been in decades. Pay rates in the industry are low but I am building up my own business and enjoying the lifestyle benefits. Thoroughly recommend it.

I used to make ~2x my spouse. Now she makes ~2x me (her increased a bit and by choice mine decreased a lot). We have always treated it as "our" money not mine or hers. Scott Pape in Barefoot Investor says couples should use joint accounts we haven't done that but it may be the solution for you, I would recommend that you both read the book before making changes.

And for what it's worth, be grateful she is doing well. it is awesome and she deserves your admiration & appreciation for her achievements.

Explains why the online training course I was part way through stopped working! Amusing that the quickest diagnosis came from skimming the headlines here :)

It's a reverse proxy so it's "pray", not exactly confidence inspiring! :-)

* Seek professional help.

* Build a daily routine of constructive activities (exercise, journal, meditate, cook etc)

* Focus on creating a future you would like.

* Find things to be grateful for every day.

* Don't indulge in your negative thoughts; notice them, acknowledge them, keep going.

Good luck with it, you got this.

I tried both and went with Joplin - it was a while ago and I can't remember exactly why, sorry. Import from EverNote would have been a factor (Obsidian may have this too?) as well as being FOSS. I use my notes as a personal knowledge base more than note taking so I have a lot of clipped web pages and linked notes so it could be that Joplin just suits my use case better. Obsidian didn't leave me with strong negative feelings just didn't fit what I wanted to do. Hope this helps.
