Fair enough, I was just mentioning something I'd had to consider in the past. Didn't mean to sound random.

Lolz this is turning into a comedy routine.

Was gonna say this. Some jobs will help pay for classes (max 1 at a time) and some will even let you take the classes "on company time." With Distance Education this is easier than ever. I took classes while working for a couple years, then was gonna take a semester off work and finish a Master's Degree. (but ended up doing a PhD instead.)

In the US most jobs don't do pensions. So the finances really do vary by country and by contract.

FYI depending on your country and your contract, it can make a big difference whether you are fired or whether you resign. i.e. in some cases if you are fired you get a severance pay and various benefits, whereas if you resign you get nothing.

Pardon me, but is it possible to do this in Firefox?

I like the ddg search engine but dislike the "keyboard shortcuts" setting. From your advice, it looks like I can turn it off in a URL with https://duckduckgo.com/?kbj=1&kk=-1 which is a great start.

Ideally I'd like to be able to type my search query in the address bar, hit enter, and have it search with that URL (i.e. without keyboard settings) by default. You say "Replace the normal ddg “link” for your search bar with that one..." but I can't figure out how to do that in Firefox. Any tips? Thanks.

I'm a number 1 but plain black t-shirt and a button-up long-sleeved shirt that I only ever button if I have to fly somewhere.

It all makes sense now... You leave snacks out so when the Santa-maggots hatch in the darkness of their chimneys, they can crawl out and be fed. Also why lil kids must never wait and watch, lest the kids themselves be eaten.

I like watching these cheesy religious Mexican telenovelas, and they often talk about the dangers of "Click Clock" (i.e. Tik Tok).
