This has crept up on me as I get older. I worked in fast food a lot when I was younger and would just cobble something “healthy” together on breaks. For awhile I drank Huel all the time because I got burned out on food.

After going vegan I discovered a whole new world of flavor, and a bit before that realized I’m obsessed with spicy food (I grew up in the Midwest with very low exposure to spicy food). Now that I have basically all the material things I want, I really value having an incredible meal more. Unfortunately that’s resulted in poor choices and I’m getting fat.

This is actually a great habit my wife and l do. We don’t eat on the couch, we actually have dinner at the table (though admittedly yes, we’ll still watch the TV sometimes from the table).

It just feels so much better. The last time I visited my family (out of state) and we were eating something, I brought my plate to the table and everyone else went to the couch, and it just felt kind of dirty to eat there.

I don’t think “I’ll” is a conjugation but rather a contraction.

Reminds me of my previous job that I stupidly took on because they wanted to go from the developer’s custom fork of Rails 3.2 up to Rails 6 (just released at the time).

The entire thing was spaghetti code and it was so out of date that I couldn’t really do incremental version updates due to libraries just straight up missing or being unmaintained.

My other mistake was thinking that because I had years of Rails experience I could take this on. As expected bugs occurred and everyone pointed their finger at me. I could barely make out what was going on and wasn’t familiar with unit specs at the time (ouch) so it was a poor experience on my end.

(My favorite was them doing currency conversions but storing the results as floats in the database. During a monthly scheduled job thousands of transactions were 1¢ off due to poor rounding. I felt ashamed because before working there I always knew to never do this, but apparently I didn’t do an adequate job of confirming how it worked in this app.)

Scraped a huge chunk of skin off my foot while drunk in a pool. I was at an Airbnb in the desert with some friends.

One friend and I worked our way through 40 beers in about five hours but we didn’t realize that until later on—something about the 110°F weather and swimming made drinking far too easy.

The pool had a very rough texture at the bottom and no part of it was especially deep, so I mainly bounced around on my toes while we were in the pool.

When we finally got out of the pool I saw blood everywhere coming from my foot, it had probably been bleeding for hours because I remembered pretty early on I’d stupidly jumped in and hurt my foot. I immediately went inside and ended up sleeping for 10 hours, missing all the fun everyone else had that evening. Because I was on my toes the entire time my ankles hurt for a few days.

It’s been seven months but I still have a mark on my foot, and it itches sometimes still.

You’re kind of missing the point entirely. We already know that the current methods used to verify age aren’t privacy-respecting and only serve to block legitimate use.

It would be kind of funny to make a kids only website (NOT porn) and have it fail to load if you enter an ID

Just the usual douchebags, got it

Do you like, live in LA? I’m six miles from one of the fires and I can tell you now that putting up a bunch of dense housing where the fire was will totally not prevent fires in the future. The Santa Ana winds will continue and they’ll do so a lot more strongly if we don’t actually tackle climate change.

Probably the housing stock there shouldn’t have been built there in the first place, but they weren’t aware decades ago that we would have an event like this but now we do.

Uh… okay? It doesn’t say “now go off and support him” somewhere does it?

/dev/sda3 would be one partition no?

Is this a NAS by chance? What I do is I have the boot and root partitions unencrypted but all my files, media, etc are encrypted. If the power goes out I SSH in, mount it and start up file sharing services. Sure it’s a bit tedious, but at least if someone breaks into my apartment and runs off with my drives they won’t see the actual contents.
