Very unrelated but if anyone reading this is dealing with long covid/brain fog related symptoms, try famotidine (pepcid).

Correct, a conflict of interest for sure, but it's still a peer reviewed paper regardless.

Merck, makers of Bravecto, say isoxazoline class drugs are safe... That's probably not a great source. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7738705/ The consolidated FDA, Project Jake and EMA fin

This tracks with my own theory on ADHD. It often times feels like a super power when it isn't ruining your life. If you manage it, it's remarkable. Left to its own devices, it's debilitating. When I was younger I tried to med

I feel like personal websites were commonplace 20 years ago, almost expected. No real social media back then, so your website kind of became an extension of your online social life.

Woops, what are you device details? I'll take a look!

I own a copy of the April 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction when this first appeared in print.

Because they've had multiple years and billions of dollars to build out their infrastructure. They got crushed during the Super Bowl and had a very clear example of what they needed to fix. An inability to handle traffic isn't a m

They're included "as a financial institution".
44.
by oldstrangers 3y ago
Yeah, and the same logic applies to traditional banks. You control billions of dollars, your threshold for mistakes is very small. And this isn't a case of "bugs or mistakes", it's a case of being underprepared.

Feel like a large portion of your responsibility as a financial institution should be reliability and uptime. This is just cartoonishly bad.

The difference is what's in the water.

Because I'm a masochist I usually charge $6.5k for brand, design and development and try to finish that out within a month. $46k isn't crazy for bloated agency prices, but the way they managed to upsell you is pretty scummy.

The easiest way to understand art is that it allows you the freedom of abstraction. I'm a designer / artist, I come from an art family. As a designer my work has to be agreeable, coherent, and functional. As an artist, I have no s

For sure, the stuff 10+ years ago was pretty goofy and the amount of hacks required even further back to make it work across 4+ different browsers was super annoying. I guess I'm not thinking about all those growing pains today.

Same sentiment here. The way margin works makes sense to my brain that lives in an HTML/CSS world.
52.
by oldstrangers 3y ago
I don't understand the CSS confusion. Maybe because I've been doing it for 15+ years but it's extremely intuitive to me and I love working with it. Tailwind annoys me because it removes some of that flexibility / freedom

This has been such a great lesson and reminder for young people: no one has any idea what they're doing and it's all made up.

Interesting timing because part of me thinks Apple's Spooky Fast event has to do with generative AI.

No one said tipping was equivalent to empathy... I said your inability to comprehend the difference between a service industry position and a "power plant worker" displayed a lack of empathy and understanding.

by oldstrangers 3y ago
Its very telling when this is the kind of equivalence someone tries to make about service industry workers. The act of physically SERVING someone and answering to their every whim is a unique role in society. If you lack the empathy to comp

In the places where I am immediately able to tip, I do. Coffee shops, bars, salons, tattoo artists, valets, servers, furniture movers, you name it, I've tipped them. I think the difference is that I get a tinge of embarassment having a

Sure, I hope everyone is able to feel appreciated for the work they're doing, it's a very human desire.

No, that's a given. In addition to that, I appreciate being able to tip them.
