My Dad quoted someone and I did not understand back then, but I do now: “Misery loves company.”
Anyone who does not understand that quote, you might eventually someday. If you don’t, then you will, because you will not be the company, but the company you seek.

Key Findings on Generational Wealth
Generation 1 (Creator): Accumulates the wealth.
Generation 2 (Steward): Manages or spends it.
Generation 3 (Consumer): Often depletes the remainder.
Statistics: Only about 30% of family wealth survives to the second generation, and only 10% makes it to the third, according to a study by The Williams Group.
Business Failure: Only 3% of family-owned businesses survive to the fourth generation.
Why Wealth is Lost
Lack of Preparation: Heirs may not understand the value of money or how to manage it.
Broken Communication: Parents often fail to discuss financial planning with their children.
Dividing Assets: Dividing wealth among more family members each generation leads to “exponential shrinkage”.
Taxes and Lifestyle: High taxes and increased spending by subsequent generations can drain assets.
How to Beat the Trend
To sustain wealth beyond three generations, experts recommend educating heirs early, involving them in investment decisions, holding family meetings, and creating a clear family constitution.
Choice log no. 1774452382 – Ubuntu 24.04 Bluetooth headset max volume
Every time I connect my Bluetooth headset, the volume is set to max.
AI Overview
To fix the Bluetooth headset volume resetting to high on Ubuntu 24.04, which uses PipeWire rather than PulseAudio (hence no
default.pa), disable absolute volume for Bluetooth devices. Edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf, set Experimental = true, and add MultiProfile=multiple under [General].
Steps to Fix High Volume Reset:
Edit Bluetooth Configuration:
Open terminal and run:
sudo nano /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
Enable Experimental Features:
Locate the [General] section and add or change the following line (if it has a # at the beginning, remove it):
Experimental = true
Add Profile Support:
In the same [General] section, add:
MultiProfile=multiple
Save and Exit: Press Ctrl+O, Enter, then Ctrl+X.
Restart Bluetooth:
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
Reconnect Headset: Disconnect and reconnect your Bluetooth headset.
This allows PipeWire to handle volume correctly, preventing it from defaulting to maximum.
I followed the instructions, but still, when I connect my Bluetooth headset the sound is set at 100%. I set the volume at 50% and ran sudo systemctl restart Bluetooth. Now when I connect, the volume is preset at 50%. I do not know if editing the main.conf file was necessary, but the volume is working as I want, so I will leave as is. “Do not fix what is not broken.” 😉

Using ffmpeg to slice audio
ffmpeg -ss StartingSeconds -i inputFile.mp3 -t HowManySecondsToCapture -c copy outputFile.mp
Sample:
ffmpeg -ss 388 -i inputfile.mp3 -t 85 -c copy outfile.mp3
388 = Start at 6 minutes forty-seven seconds
85 = capture for one minute forty-two seconds
If the -ss option is not included, the slice will start from the beginning and capture the amount of time specified in the -t option. Example -t ten seconds, will capture from the start of the audio for ten seconds.
If the -t option is not included, the slice will start at the -ss point and complete to the end of the audio.
