I’m in my late forties and sprained my back/hip pretty badly right at the start of COVID. A year later I was having trouble descending stairs and starting to develop knee pain on the same side of my body. So I began a fairly rigorous r

I have read this sentiment elsewhere and I’m genuinely curious about what it is that the imports try to change. I’m a California native and have lived here most of my life. Any time I have thoughts of moving somewhere else, it’s usually bec

I built my first computer when the “turbo” button was still a thing, and have probably built dozens more (for family, friends, and myself) in the ensuing three decades. These days I do the bulk of my non-work computing on an iPad with a Mag

Maybe look into a wine cooler/fridge. Adjustable units top out around 65f.

I'm one of those who simply left, though I don't know that deleting my account counts as "silently". My usage had already been on the decline at that point, so I just needed that last push to leave for good.

Right? Even when you remove selfish and inattentive drivers from the equation, you still have a human behind the wheel of the remaining vehicles. Those humans may be subject to things beyond their control such as glare, a sudden mechanical

When I lived within walking distance of a transit station I was going to the office twice a week after the initial lockdowns lifted. The change of scenery was nice as was being around people again. Now that I have moved, and would need to d

This is correct. Or to paraphrase The Princess Bride, “Only mostly Vegan”.

My Apple Watch detected an AFib about a year and a half ago. Was mildly freaked out at the time but glad that I got the alert. Nothing major, thankfully. Was on a mostly plant-based diet (no meat at all) and wasn't getting enough iron.

I have found the code folding in GoLand to make this basically a non issue (for me personally). if err != nil { return nil } becomes if err != nil: err <up arrow>

My wife and I went vegetarian just over two years ago. Cold turkey, so to speak. I was very surprised to not miss the sensory experience of eating meat. Texture, color, and to a lesser extent smell and flavor. For a while I think I chased i

> Those are the coupes. The sedans, such as the Fairlane and Thunderbird? Those were about as big as a modern full size crew cab pickup. I’m reminded of my grandparent’s 1979 Cadillac (Not sure of the model). It barely fit in the garag

I received an old terracotta pot with some succulents a while back that also had some clovers growing in it. One day I noticed a 4-leaf clover, then another, any another all in the same pot. The next day my black cat had eaten them all, but

If you make Grape Nuts disappear my wife will be very unhappy. I may be forced to tell her it was all your fault ;)

Seems like an amazing opportunity to build a pedestrian-centric community. Include a grocery store, coffee shop, gym, and some green space, with automobile infrastructure exclusively below ground or on the periphery. The idea being that you

What you describe in your last sentence is one of the reasons I went with Kaiser. Yes, there are still co-pays for most treatments and prescriptions, but they have in my experience never been more than $20. This includes an elective procedu

I’m definitely guilty of this one, and have been working on improving it due to feedback from a teammate. In my case it was very much appreciated :)

After receiving a “Logitech” webcam in sketchy packaging from Amazon last year, I promptly returned it and ordered the same model from Best Buy for local pick up. The retail packaging was completely different and the webcam itself felt heav

We had that top-loading JVC with the big plastic buttons on the front and a wired remote. That thing was built like a tank.

It was still relatively common at that time for VCRs and gaming consoles to have an RF pass through and would broadcast on channel 3 or 4. You just tuned the TV to that channel.

That’s how it’s been at my office (even pre-pandemic). The open office is relatively quiet, there are several areas good for quiet conversation, and lots to conference and phone rooms. It’s great for those days I need to get out of the hous

I also find it easier to ctrl/cmd-f what I’m looking for on a data-dump page than try to parse their information architecture (navigation) or use the search box, which rarely seem to return useful results.

George Carlin’s bit on euphemisms, which covers the evolution of PTSD, immediately sprung to mind when I read the headline.

Made even funnier by the fact that there’s a Reddit sub dedicated to this very topic. /r/dontputyour****inthat I guess penis humor is timeless.

After interviewing with multiple FAANGs and receiving no offers, my current employer recruited me based on my LinkedIn profile for a role on new team. I have since started telling the FAANG recruiters “thanks for reaching out, but no thanks

Those old VB apps really had staying power. I built one that was in use fro 2000 until the owner of the business passed away in 2017. If he were still alive I’m sure that app would be running today.

I have had a similar experience with the band Ministry. High energy, drowns out any background chatter, gets me into a flow state, somehow. I think it is partially because they are not a band I really listen to for pleasure so I don’t know

Same. I’ve been at it for 20 years and just never was in a job that used React or Typescript. In my current job I was paired with a boot camp grad probably ~15 years my junior who has been an amazing mentor as I learned React + Redux + Type
