Clueless: Hi, I'm calling to ask about PDF file sizes.
Me: OK.
Clueless: I'm right-clicking on this PDF and looking at "Properties." It says 67 MB.
Clueless: Is 67 MB larger than 25 MB?
Me:

Me: Yes...?
Clueless: OK, I just wanted to make sure I'm doing this correctly. So if a file is over 25 MB, it's too large to submit to this website? It says the limit is 25 MB.
Me: Right.
Clueless: OK so it's too big then. That's all I needed to know, thanks!

Does anyone here use a wake-up light?
I'm sort of looking at ways to change my pattern of getting out of a coma every morning.

I sleep pretty easily. When I touch the bed, I sleep.
But waking up is difficult and I'm not a morning person at all.

These wake-up lights seem interesting but also quite expensive.

Yeah I got one, dont remember which model, but it actually kind of works for me during the darker days of the winter at least. I absolutely hate waking up to complete darkness outside, and this helps me with that. But I don't use it in the summer at all.

I get intensely depressed when I see old friends having great lives on social media. I feel like my life is so shitty compared to theirs and I’m jealous of their happiness. I know that sounds incredibly narcissistic and I wish I could make those feelings go away.

Quote

Whether it’s on social media or in life, it’s easy to start comparing ourselves to others, especially when we’re feeling particularly vulnerable. How does she effortlessly balance work and motherhood, while I’m barely keeping it together? Why can’t I look that good in a bikini on my fabulous vacation? How can I get a glamorous job like that? Look at how perfect her life is. This habit is best described by Pastor Steve Furtick, who once said, “The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.”

That's not narcissistic in the slightest. You're a smart guy. If you really do have more potential, make a realistic plan for improving your life and stick with it.

I don’t think my life is shitty. Actually, it’s probably on an upward trend lately (especially compared to my college years). Financially, mentally, and physically I’m better now than a few years ago. I think the problem is more about old friends being able to find new people to spend their lives with. A lot of the people I used to be close with have moved on while I struggle to meet new people.

I thought of getting into poker to scratch my competitive itch, but I don't wanna be stuck at a table with some old Chinese guy who smells like cigarettes, a middle-aged woman who smells like cigarettes, and some gaunt looking man with hollow-eyes who smells like booze (and cigraettes).

largely the same with table service. attentive and not concerned with niceties, just not fucking up your order. i dig it. extremely pragmatic.

i like really nice, warm table service, but front of house that get too flustered in busy situ's should just dispense with them as much as allowed and take the order.

Why even worry about prostitution? I mean, there are peeps out there who need to get laid, don't have the ability to do so, and other peeps who are willing to take money to do it? Legalize it. Tax it. De-stigmatize it.

I am very happy to live in a country where prostitution is legal, because I feel like criminalising it leads to more harm, but I do feel like it reduces women to things to be consumed.

I guess to me the most important part in sex is that the person actually likes being around me, or maybe even cares about me as a person? I guess that's weird and gross.

It's a service. Way more intimate than most, but a service nonetheless. And you don't 'consume' sex workers any more than your boss consumes you, or you consumed the person who tiled your bathroom. Sex work has its issues, but I don't think this is one of them.

PDF Pro: Is there a way to select and copy text right out of a PDF without doing anything to it?

Me: Let me take a look at the document. Ah, no, the text can't be copied. It needs to be OCR'd first.

PDF Pro: I don't want to do that- it takes too long! Is there another way?

Me: If you just want to take a small amount of text from the document, you could use the Snipping Tool to take a screenshot, then paste the image into OneNote and use its "copy text from image" feature, but that may not come out right. You can also save it as a Word document, but that may also not come out 100%. It would be a lot faster to just OCR the document.

PDF Pro: I know, but it just takes forever.

Me: Your PDF is pretty small. Do you want to give it a try?

PDF Pro: *Sigh* OK, let me just do the first page. Watch how long this takes.

***The first page OCR process takes about 2-3 seconds***

Me: OK, you can copy the text now.

PDF Pro: Yeah, but they really need a way to just make it so that you can copy text from PDFs.

Me:

Me: Well...that's exactly what the OCR process is for.

PDF Pro: Yeah...guess I'll just make do with this if I can't figure out a way to copy the text then.
