I started dating my wife when she was 16 and I was 23 (we got married much later). Not to say I recommend or encourage such a large age gap, but if I made it work I don’t see why you can’t.

This trend of non-coverage will probably continue if we don’t think of something different. I for one rarely go to my downtown area so it could be easy for regular people at least to miss what’s happened.

It’s a little more on the dangerous side but I had an idea of a “stop in” rather than a “sit in”. Basically we pick a day and time and no matter where you are, you just come to a stop for one minute, not speaking or making noise, just being still. It’s something people can do anywhere and only takes a minute of your time, but if enough people do it then it would look kind of crazy, like something from a sci-fi movie. There’s like no way this would go uncovered or at least unGoogled.

I’m no psychologist but I’m pretty sure there’s no disability that makes you a bigot.

The better you get at coding, the less you’ll probably write code. This is for two reasons: you can’t fuck up code that isn’t written and you need people that understand the bigger picture to focus on making that picture clearer. This unfortunately leads to junior and mid-level developers writing most of the code. But it’s not like things would be 10x better if senior devs wrote everything, because even for someone experienced coding well is fucking hard.

In a few cases I saved over 10% by going straight to the manufacturer. Shipping was slower but rarely do I need stuff next day.

Is there truth in the statement that you must report your neighbors regularly for bad things (not illegal, just bad things) they’ve done?

I think very few if any would say we hate NK or those that live there. Although the US does seem to be sliding into a strict authoritarian state we generally want other countries to allow free movement (inside and outside their borders) and free speech (no consequences for speaking ill of government). If you like simple living and not much distraction from social or digital media I’m happy for you.

Dad never even hinted at any kind of advice like wearing condoms or abstaining or “being careful” with any of my girlfriends. I guess the fact I was not very attractive and was sort of religiously brought up seemed to keep me out of any accidental pregnancies or STDs. As a parent now it’s not easy to talk about these things but we don’t shame each other for being naked or use “baby terms” when it comes to reproductive organs.

I’m usually not willing to commit that much. Sometimes string cheese is a good addition but then the cook time is longer and maybe the peps or tortilla get overdone.

Pepperoni in a tortilla, microwaved a few seconds, is pretty damn good.

The arm of our stand is wide so I can rest one banana on top.

In addition to other advice you could also use SSH over Wireguard. Wireguard basically makes the open port invisible. If you don’t provide the proper key upfront you get no response. To an attacker the port might as well be closed.

Here’s at least one article on the subject: https://rair.dev/wireguard-ssh/

Think about how you’d react if he was 18, 19, or 20. If you’re more okay with it when he’s older then you’re thinking 17 is “too soon”. Well, that’s not really your call. Physically, 17 is a safe age for sex. Mentally, make sure he’s aware of the consequences of sex. Emotionally, he’s basically on his own. You can’t teach him to deal with the emotions he’s feeling now or might feel after sex (assuming he hasn’t done it already).

This is the stage in life where you need to support your son, not control him.

This is why renewable energy isn’t just for energy security, it’s for national security.

When it comes to matters of the heart I think you just gotta let stuff like this go. Don’t be judgemental and don’t say, “I told you so.” Be there for advice when it’s requested.

My last interview, current company, the average tenure of all the people I asked was ~7 years. I would also ask why they’ve been there so long.

If you can keep these from being multipurpose then name them what they’re for. If they’re multipurpose then just name them something totally unrelated. I name apps at work occasionally and if you try to get specific (e.g. network-configurator) you pretty much doom yourself to start using it for something that doesn’t match the name.

You are surrounded with workaholic, misogynists. My company gives full pay for 12 weeks for mothers and fathers. Several of my coworkers, mostly men, have used their leave in full (usually 9 weeks together and the other 3 broken up). Nobody ever looks down on people for taking leave.

Maybe they would take all of it if it was for full pay. Ya’ll motherfuckers need a union.

You can slap a logo on anything. That’s not a problem of the tech itself.

Except the benefits of rejecting vaccines and modern medicine are 🤷.
