I hated working from home, it’s not for me. As soon as I could I went back to the office and I’ve turned down jobs that require too much WFH.

However, I do work with a lot of WFH people. My only “complaint” about their “productivity” is to please, for the love of God, have them working the same timezone hours as the area they are servicing if their job is time sensetive. If I need to get ahold of someone anytime something goes wrong with a hauler cause you’re the only one with access to the system then don’t have your work day be hours off from typical trucking hours in my location! Looking at you logistics…

There are also a lot of kits that include most of what you’ll need (especially for cross stitch). It can be a really convenient way to start and most kits come with really good instructions on how to cross stitch too.

I think it’s for “smart” washing machines that you can control from your phone etc. So that’s likely what the “updates” would be related too…why you’d need to control your washing machine from afar is beyond me but some people love smart gadgets and will by anything that connects to their phone.

PA can be fairly cold expect snow and ice every year. It does snow in Virginia as well but I can tell you it’s on average atleast 10 degrees warmer in VA vs PA year round. (Lived in both areas). Virginia is wetter (and far more humid than CA) and has more hills since Appalachia cuts right through a lot of the western part of the state. If you don’t like the outdoors I’d suggest eastern Virginia. If you like the outdoors western Virginia is great for outdoor activity (hit or miss on things like high speed internet, research any specific towns your interested in out there.) One thing I will say is that Virginia is NOT blue. But then Scranton is probably considered the beginnings of Pennsyltucky too.

Parasite, I was not ready for how upset that movie was gonna make me

The movie might have been a satirical commentary against militarism but the book it’s based off of is arguably not. I loved that book as a kid but it definitely glorifies militarism and not really in a tongue in cheek way. There are literal scenes discussing civics and the necessity of war interspersed throughout the book.

I appreciate you saying that your lost cause I also find lemmy confusing and it seems like most people here are very tech savvy. Makes me feel a little less out of place.
