Yeah but if the babysitter set it up would it not be first degree since that's clear premeditation?

While there is some credence to "you can't truly learn to live another until you learn to love yourself", I think we king as you approach a relationship with the right mindset you don't have to love yourself / be happy. Right mindset being the operative word.

Anecdotal, but back when my depression was even worse I approached them as a "if I can't be happy I want to dump 110% of myself into the relationship to make my partner happy". It doesn't take alot to understand why that's such a bad approach. As long as you find someone who you can trust with your weaknesses and be trusted with theirs, maintain a open line of communication, and generally be comfortable around I don't see why not.

It's been a while since I've been reminded Teletubbies exist.

One of the first things I did when I took over an old php project was convert to bcrypt and add logic to automatically upgrade the hash on their next login (and in case you're wondering, we also removed the old insurance hashes and the upgrade logic after a while, forcing remaining users to do a password reset).

I gifted my mom my Flip 3 when I migrated off (I couldn't tolerate the cameras on it). She only broke it once early on by dropping it with the screen open, but that's what the accidental protection is for. Other than that, she uses it daily and it still is going strong.

While I agree with this, the one except I've found is Sprite. Different genetics have different tastes but I've found I like my Kroger generic Sprite more than the name brand.

God I was so tired of the forest when I got to her bright and cheerful beach I was so relieved. >!Only to pass a perception check...!<

ORM with an easy and straightforward way to execute custom queries is the sweet spot to me. Let the ORM handle the basics (and migrations), override / add optimized queries where relevant.

The only employee replaced was the owner, which I'm not sure that counts. Another one resigned a few months after, because they found a new job.

I always thought that part was interesting. I personally never had a downright toxic interaction in Eve Online and I used to multibox 7 accounts.

Back when Internet Explorer was still a thing you could configure it with group policies domain wide. If Microsoft implemented similar features for Edge in an active directory environment I can definitely see the appeal. Not to say similar isn't possible with Chrome or Firefox, but first party integrations in a corporate environment tends to be the path of least resistance.
