Websearch “your city” plus refugee services. There will be government and NGO listings; try the NGO people first, just a phone call and tell whoever answers “I am a tutor who teaches XYZ and I am new to town. Looking to volunteer my time and tutor skills. Who do I contact?”
They’ll set you up. In Canada, you might need a criminal record check first.
Volunteer tutor for refugees.
Sells for around $5. A power blender could make that for around $0.20 in ingredients.
You would have to make the equivalent of 80 of those 1.75l oat milks to pay off a refurbished vitamix blender. That’s about a year for our house. We buy organic oats in full 25kg bags and vacuum pack them, so I am considering this.
BIFL isn’t usually really ‘for life’ since we buy practical stuff as adults.
But… when I was born in the '60’s someone gave me a simple, elegant little steel cup and plate, with cartoon bears engraved in simple lines for decoration.
The plate is still in the cupboard with the general plate population, and the little cup is perfectly sized for a double shot, so it lives on top of the espresso machine and gets used daily, adding special value each time because it’s a joy to use, and old like me.
I make artisanal bread by hand, takes about 10 minutes total effort–less than a bread machine when you include cleanup–and I eyeball the ingredients. It was a big upgrade for me from the machine.
I totally agree… except for the high power blender. Those are a different category from cheap blenders, they do recipes impossible without the power. Nut milk is a good example, where if you drink a lot of the stuff you can pay off the blender in under a year with savings.
I stopped using a bread machine because it was too much work. Fussing over the recipe and cleaning the bloody thing, plus it is always no-stick coating inside with all the lovely forever chemicals.
I do a slack ‘no-knead’ dough (5 min work) then 8 hours later bake at high temp in a preheated cast iron dutch oven that I got used.
Everyone raves greedily about the results and it’s very forgiving to work with. Cleanup is simple, and the bread lasts 3 days on the cutting board, cut side down. Freezes really well, too.
Cost is three cups of flour and maybe some oats plus a little instant yeast and salt, and 450F of oven for 40 minutes.
It will run macOS 11 Big Sur, which isn’t fully out of date yet.

You will want to install via USB probably. See "use a bootable installer " on the link above.
I would wipe/install.
I think you are referring to rules in the USA. In Canada, we have ‘fair dealing’ laws that would allow you to rip your CD and sell it. In part, this is already funded by a levy on blank CDs here.
We’re planning our 30th anniversary party. We still flirt and are both best friends and lovers and don’t pass each other in a room without a caress or joke. I’m not bragging so much as to say it happens. Sometimes people keep the remnants of their initial crush and combine it with respect and lust for a whole lifetime. The Pheromones are very strong.
