What part of the pig is a "gammon joint"?
Sounds like a bar I used to hang out in.

Back in the day, I think it is what we left ponders called a fresh ham. (uncooked).

Oooo! Gammon ham [dribbles uncontrollably], yummy! I miss that here in this failed colony!

I am learning web development and I want to know that I am ready to do freelancing. so I need to find free projects to do. is there any way to find free projects. and how do I know that I am ready to do freelancing?

Not sure how anyone knows they are ready to "freelance". I would suspect that your skill set would need to be strong enough and marketable enough to go it on your own.
I am sure there are a lot of websites that would help you on freelancing and everything that involves, etc.

Resources - you need to eat while you are trying to find clients
Contacts - apart from the various freelancer type web sites you need to build up a network of clients/contacts
Rhino Hide - can you take being rejected for the first hundred or more approaches you make
Admin Skills - after all you will be running a company of some description
And that does not even touch on the analysis, development, deployment, documentation and support skills you will need to bring to the market.
Good luck!

Freelancers are brought in with the expectation that they have high levels of skill, knowledge and experience - and will hit the ground running. Which justifies their remuneration being much higher than permies.
Any company that is prepared to to take on junior freelancers is, almost certainly, expecting to pay peanuts; provide zero training and offload you at the drop of a hat.
My advice would be to get a 'real' job, with a company that is prepared to commit to your development over the next 2-3 years.

Aren't free projects and freelancing antithetical? How does one expect to get paid working on something that is given away at no cost?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Hook up with a non-profit charity and help them out with a web site.

You're not ready.
Everybody will let you work for free. If you were "ready", you'd know this.

I installed VS2019 on a new PC and when I open the code there are these "structure lines" all over the place. They're dotted horizontal and vertical lines that seem to "match up" code blocks.
Bloody annoying as @*@&.
I've Googled and went through the Settings but I can't figure out how to turn this "feature" off.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

It's already unchecked
I've toggled it on/off multiple times. It seems to have no effect

I'm at a loss. A hack might be going to
Tools > Options... > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Structure Guide Lines
and setting their color to that of your window background
|
|
|
|
|
are you using ReSharper, or something similar?
|
|
|

I love those structure lines. If I could marry them, I would.
|

Not sure about the marrying part, but 'I do' like them.

My kids actually used to say that all the time to me.
Me: I really love that car!
kids: Do you love it so much that you would marry it?

So what do they say when you tell your kids you love them?

Ah, thought at first you were referring to the colored crap on the scrollbar that makes it difficult to see the handle when there's been lot's of changes. IMHO, the structure bars are very useful.
