  • Yup, I agree 100%. I usually go with a slim case because I follow a few self-imposed rules.

    • Phone does not leave pocket when drinking or around people who are drinking.
    • I don’t need to take my phone out if I’m visiting friends or family.
    • I immediately pocket my phone if I’m moving, even just around the apartment.

    I’ve not dropped my phone once since owning my first 12 years ago. I do not care what it’s made of.



  • Kind of bs, seeing as how I use my friend’s account (with permission) to access the free Udemy courses that his career provides him and I’ve never seen this. Figures they’d nail legitimate users and completely miss people who abuse the system. Typical Microsoft.

    Hope an alternative comes someday; I’ve always disliked LinkedIn.



  • I’m in the same boat. My partner and I are extremely excited for a new start and can’t wait to get away from some things here, but the apartment we have lined up is fairly smaller than what we have now.

    To top it off, there’s another apartment with a beautiful screen in porch on the same floor, but it’s a tiny efficiency apartment. The worst part is that that tenant will have to walk through our part of the porch to get to the stairs. I’ve rented long enough to know that you don’t always get great neighbors, so not looking forward to that.

    My new landlord is my brother in law and he wanted to combine the apartments and just charge us a bit more, but my sister didn’t want to lose the money of having two apartments up there. I understand that, but it’s such a nice one bedroom apartment and the two bedroom feels like a bunch of tiny boxes nailed together.

    The area is extremely rural and my gf will have to commute a bit longer to get to her transferred job, but we think it’s well worth it despite all that. I’d say give it a try and see what you think. If it doesn’t work great, view your other options from there. It sounds like you’re both looking for a change either way.
