Thanks for the reply. It's not surprising to hear any of this, honestly, but I am surprised all the same. What a sad state of affairs.

I Googled around a bit. Looks like Connecticut, Maryland, and New York requires them and a small set of other states lock specific licensures behind graduate degrees. I sincerely had no idea this was happening. I have young kids, in Califor

Alarm fatigue [0] is a very real phenomenon that I am sure (potentially, depending) translates to people in their everyday lives somehow, too. I personally disable notifications for practically everything except messages and weather on my p

My wife and I review CC and bank activity every 2nd Sunday. It's part of our budgeting. We both stubbornly refused to take our finances seriously early in life, before we met. By the time we had met, we had both crawled our way out of

We have minimum specifications we meet for our software (games) and a suite of old desktops (that I occasionally have to go kick) that run CI performance tests for us. It's not much investment, outside of the initial setup and generati

I can't shout or whisper in my inner voice. Wild. It'd never occurred to me to even try. But I absolutely have an inner voice. In fact, it's very noisy and sometimes I wish it would shut the fuck up. It's also oftentimes

Daycare in SoCal for 3 kids is > 2x our mortgage. And this is a very, very average-price school. I love the school, and they're doing their best, but the economics of daycare (for parents, teachers, and the school administration) in

That Go proverb comes to mind: "gofmt's style is nobody's favorite, but gofmt is everybody's favorite." And I don't like gofmt's output, personally, but I immediately saw the benefit to community-wide ad

We briefly looked at it. We decided to just move everything to Ubuntu. It's been a lot of work, and taken a lot of time, but ultimately we feel that it's been worth it. Ubuntu isn't without it's own problems but we'

I've been using Firefox for regular browsing for years now, but I use Chrome for streaming videos (Firefox streaming quality is noticably worse) and LibreWolf for YouTube (blocks ads). It's annoying to have 3 browsers open basica

My employer got us a Snoo (rental) for each child. With our twins, they worked pretty well until 4 months or so. Our singleton wouldn't go for it at all. I agree that there's no genuinely useful bonding happening in the dead of th
