Background: The dog we have was found abandoned and we took her in. We have a few kids, one other dog, and 3 weeks ago we have two new kittens. We have never really considered her "reactive" or "aggressive" except with treats/food if the other dog gets close. And that would only happen sometimes. Lately, in the last 6 months or so she has gotten a lot worse and starts fights seemingly randomly with our other dog. We have noticed any triggers that might have caused them. Not only have we had issues in the last 6 months but things have also gotten worse when we got two new kittens 3 weeks ago. We think our dog is scared of them and we keep them separated and let them around each other (supervi

Money was taken out of my retirement for "market value change". I've only been investing into it since April but this is the first time I'm seeing it as a line item. Does this happen quarterly. I understand markets change, but wouldn't that automatically be reflected in my balance and not taken out in a lump sum?
I'm not looking for financial advice and I will not take information provided to me as such.
A lot of folks, such as myself, started investing in the beginning of 2020, especially investing in "MEME" stocks and obviously haven't made out so well. I have made many questionable and terrible individual stock investments.
If this scenario was you, what would you do?
Still holding some crappy stocks that are down 50-70%.. Don't think they're allowed to be named here.
Still holding some okay stocks that are down 40-70%.. PYPL, DKNG
Sold some others at a loss such as BABA
Holding some good stocks that are down 20-40%.. which I'll hang on to for the long hall
I started learning programming ~ 4 years ago which started out as focusing on front end web development. As I was learning I ended up doing mostly full stack projects.
At work I do a little of everything, mostly bug fixes and haven't really built out any new features. I'm kinda burnt out on programming as it is so it's hard to decide where to put my focus for learning new things. I like the front end as far as the logic is concerned but every time I attempt to learn CSS, I despise it and give up. I also do not like leetcode style problems.
I feel like I'm stagnating and losing interesting. I'm lost and directionless and I guess I'm just looking for words of wisdom or something to spark my
Feels like I've seen em all! Kids in the house, yadda yadda. Usually rated R doesn't fit that bill. My watchlist is huge but it's like 95% rated R. Hit me with what you got!
It's kinda "hacky" and I'm trying to figure out better solutions for grabbing data.
I use Reelgood to track movies I want to see but it doesn't have the ability to fine tune the sorting and filtering much so I built a nodejs app that makes a few requests using their endpoint and my auth token to grab all those movies then makes requests to the TMDB movie api then I send I can consume that data on the frontend.
The token expires multiple times daily and I have to manually update it by going to reelgood again and inspect the network tab to grab it off the header, add it to my node server, then restart the server.
What's a more automated way to keep this token updated?
I saw a book recommendation on learning how to learn that was mentioned in a programming subreddit and now I can't find it! One person said it increased their GPA from a 3.0 to a 3.8 or so.
Anyone have any idea on what book that might be? I thought I saved the post but I didn't.
I use all three and it's getting tiresome tracking all my movie
Reelgood: Watchlist; Use as my watchlist because it shows which ones are on my streaming services I subscribe to and it's been accurate.
Movielens: Recommendations; You can rate the movies you've seen and they seem to have a really good recommendations based on your previous watched movies and even predict what you will rate it, it's been accurate for me most of the time. I've found some great movies with this site.
Letterboxed: Insights; I don't use many of the features, but I really like having "insights". As in, being able to see what movie I rated the highest in a certain genre or decade.

It seems like the majority of dev conferences are really just someone plugging the product for the company they work for with some "tips" sprinkled in.
Same with most blog post tutorials, how to do x with x.js and the author works for x.js
Even on twitch / youtube, like Learn with Jason for example, the guest is almost always someone plugging their product and it's masked as "learning"
I'm just curious if this is common in other industries as well, and how do I look past it because it's annoys me more than it should to tbh.
