I don’t sell locally often but when I do, I use craigslist. It’s also great for picking up a cable modem on the cheap when moving into a new area (don’t have to deal with the ISP-supplied one).

Right? Then if you hate the place I’m sure it’s possible to move elsewhere. I can’t imagine you’re stuck there forever. I’m sure a lot of us have lived in a place or situation that wasn’t perfect but helped us to move on to something better.

Straight back to North Korea sounds no bueno.

One sounds much more fun than the other.

This is actually a great habit my wife and l do. We don’t eat on the couch, we actually have dinner at the table (though admittedly yes, we’ll still watch the TV sometimes from the table).

It just feels so much better. The last time I visited my family (out of state) and we were eating something, I brought my plate to the table and everyone else went to the couch, and it just felt kind of dirty to eat there.

I don’t think “I’ll” is a conjugation but rather a contraction.

Reminds me of my previous job that I stupidly took on because they wanted to go from the developer’s custom fork of Rails 3.2 up to Rails 6 (just released at the time).

The entire thing was spaghetti code and it was so out of date that I couldn’t really do incremental version updates due to libraries just straight up missing or being unmaintained.

My other mistake was thinking that because I had years of Rails experience I could take this on. As expected bugs occurred and everyone pointed their finger at me. I could barely make out what was going on and wasn’t familiar with unit specs at the time (ouch) so it was a poor experience on my end.

(My favorite was them doing currency conversions but storing the results as floats in the database. During a monthly scheduled job thousands of transactions were 1¢ off due to poor rounding. I felt ashamed because before working there I always knew to never do this, but apparently I didn’t do an adequate job of confirming how it worked in this app.)

Having worked at McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s I can tell you what’s happening.

McDonald’s has a patented salt dispenser that perfectly salts their fries. You just dump the salt and it stops on its own. The problem is a lot of employees think they’re smarter than corporate and give it another few goes.

At the other restaurants, there’s some policy like “put X amount of salt” but it’s just a fucking container of salt and you’re supposed to magically know exactly however many grams to use. Notice I put “X amount of salt” because in those places I had no clue what the number was despite holding management positions.

I really want to figure out how much I need to donate to charity substantially to offset my federal taxes because I’m happy to donate like crazy if it means less bombing people.

As a web developer who also uses VPN with exit nodes in other countries (because online privacy sucks here) I’ll never understand why the headers aren’t used for language selection (along with a reasonable fallback). That’s always how I implement it anyway.

IP addresses weren’t really supposed to designate geolocation and I think expecting it to is very lazy (though I can understand when done for legal reasons).

You’re kind of missing the point entirely. We already know that the current methods used to verify age aren’t privacy-respecting and only serve to block legitimate use.

It would be kind of funny to make a kids only website (NOT porn) and have it fail to load if you enter an ID
