Ain’t nothing wrong with that! Id probably buy new windows and do some other house work. It’s an investment.

You can certainly pay for the work ahead of time. The rules say that you have to spend it in one day, not receive what you bought in one day.

Git commits with message saying “pushing changes” and there are over 50 files with unrelated code in it.

Mine is like you, but much more general: trying to argue. Period. Doesn’t matter with whom. People of all kinds don’t like to have their views challenged.

It’s like clapping. It hasn’t stopped. It’s just the time between stanzas has been increasing.

Hm. This is a great question.

I have always been a chatty guy, despite it sometimes causing me grief of one kind or another. While I don’t specifically have memories of conversations with my folks (when I was young), I no doubt had them.

That said, I’ve also always been a widely misunderstood person (at least to my mind); I never seemed to conform to people’s expectations (even today to a degree). I have developed severe trust issues because of this, especially among my family bloodline; as such, I have cut off all communication with everyone on my side of the family* — even if they never actually hurt me (sorry Egg!!).

* By this, I mean I do not talk to anyone older than me in my family (I am the youngest); I do however go to great lengths to talk to my children every day; even if it’s about nothing in particular. I also do not shy away from sharing stories of my childhood, or how they’ve affected me, as I firmly believe that they deserve the truth, and also should learn from my (and my family’s) mistakes. Suffice it to say, I do believe that my children are doing much better in life than I ever did when I was their age, so maybe it’s working.🤞

Beautiful! Thank you!

I get that. I also wonder how many Lemmy users get that?

Given how AI is scraping the web for training, I can appreciate how some people might not want to leave their personal data around for some company to use without their permission.

This is just a speculation on my part, as I have no data to back that assertion up. So, grain of salt and all.

DSM-V

You’re absolutely right about how no one has to respond or keep a conversation going past its expiration date. If anything, I just find it odd to match with someone and not take it any further.

I forget how they retrieved it.

You get an angry upvote for that. 🙄 🤣

I don’t think they needed surgery.

I’ll give you two guesses. The first guess (#1) doesn’t count. 😉

I read the first comment as if they said pecan. I read your comment as if you said pecan.

~And is toucan pronounced the same way?~

Without knowing more details, what you describe sounds like you abandon the relationship the moment you feel bored. And I don’t entirely blame the woman you’re dating for being hesitant.

But keeping things cool itself doesnt need any energy

My electric bill disproves this statement. Otherwise, why would we need electrical devices that remove heat from things?

Congrats! You’ve reached full boomer status. Would you like some tapioca pudding?

In my experience, “young adult” refers to a specific stage in life, and takes place directly after teenage, but before your 30s (i.e. 20-30). In fact, the fact that the word adult is in “young adult” does imply that they are adults, just more to their larval stage.

So is /dev/null.

If you have an evening (or all weekend), and really want to blow your mind, look up Low Byte Productions on YouTube and look up their JavaScript videos.

Here’s how I approach old and slow:

1. Older software is mature and battle tested. It’s been around long enough that the developers should know what they’re doing, and have built a strong community for help and support.
2. Slow is okay when it comes to accuracy. Would I love to back up my gigabytes (peanuts compared to some of you folks out there with data centers in your attics) in seconds? Yes. But more importantly, I’d rather have my data be valid for if I ever need to do any kind of restore. And I’ve been around the block enough times in my career to see many useless backups.
