nah dude, this isn’t sexual or misogynistic enough to be a boomer meme

idk, I had a somewhat similar thing just a few weeks ago. Got really bad throat, ear and jaw pain on a monday, went to my GP on tuesday who said that it’s just a really bad viral cold and gave me a sick note from work for a week. But just doing the kind of recovery that works for a cold didn’t work, and the jaw pain kept getting worse, so I went to a dentist on friday and he immediately saw that it actually was a bacterial infection around one of my lower wisdom teeth. Gave me oral antibiotics plus topical antibiotics to inject under the skin flap around the tooth and I was feeling fine again within a day.

I’m building a little web game rn, and by my rules that guy is clearly a dog.

Different instances have different federations, so it makes sense to have a few accounts scattered around different instances. Sometimes instances also go down or are slow, so it’s good to have a backup somewhere else (my main account used to be on programming.dev, but it had server issues all the time so I no longer bother going there).

Oh, and as others have mentioned, porn. I personally also have an alt I use when I get a bit too verbose right after taking my adderall haha

Unapologetic intellectual curiosity! I absolutely love being around people who love learning new things and who get excited to find out more when they discover a new topic.
It’s one of the first qualities that really stood out when I first met my husband - in a University lecture with 1000 people, he just nonchalantly sat down in the frontmost row because that’s where he could hear the professor the best and ask questions. No shyness or awkwardness about it, which I found incredibly inspiring for some reason! I usually hid in one of the back rows because I was massively overthinking everything and afraid that the professor might call me out when he sees me not paying attention.

Cow and horse poops aren’t actually a good choice - sure, you can get them in a large quantity, but they’re mostly fiber, so they dissolve in water very easily and are too easy to wash off.
You want poop with lots of fat in it, so something from an animal that eats meat. I’m biased, but in my opinion snake poop would be a superb choice, if you can get your hands on some. It’s dense, hard to wash off and smells like actual death - so even a small, well placed piece would already be very effective.

That might be the case too! I do believe it was more of a skill issue in my case because I was booting Linux Mint from a 40GB partition (couldn’t free any more space than that on the old SSD) and enabled too many system backups (they recommended 2 daily and 2 on boot, and I just followed the recommendation without thinking about the space implications). Those alone put me at around 35-38GB of used space, and an npm install is usually around 1 GB, but log and temp files can sometimes balloon up when things go wrong. So it wasn’t really a crash per say, just Mint’s “shut down the system when you run out of storage space” protection triggering haha

Could be explained by the fact that my favorite position to program is on my bed, like a teenage girl from a mediocre 2000’s movie writing in her diary. The laptop fans get a taste of all that good good bed sheet fiber.

Ooh, totally! I did have an SSD in there before, but it was only 256GB, so I had to store most files on the HDD and be extremely selective about what to install to C:. Going up to 8TB felt very liberating, I no longer have to fear that an npm install might crash my whole machine! (at least not due to space constraints, npm will figure out how to crash it for other reasons)

I’m not even that tech illiterate, but I almost did that… My laptop was being slow, and I still had like 4k€ in overtime hours that I could buy Hardware from at work (it’s a great deal because I neither have to pay VAT on the hardware nor income taxes on the money from the overtime), so I was like, eh, might as well get a new laptop.
So then I read up on what laptop brands are out there, found out about Framework, and when I excitedly told my electrical engineer husband about it he was like “You knooow that you can easily replace parts in any laptop, right?”
Well, I didn’t know that (just kinda assumed laptops were more like phones than they are like desktop PCs), so I ended up just ordering a new SSD and new RAM for my laptop. It’s back to being butter smooth, but I have a hunch that cleaning the dust from the fans while I was in there was a very large factor in that haha

I finally switched to Linux just a few days ago when upgrading my laptop’s SSD, and so far I have only opened minecraft to see how it runs - extremely smoothly, even though I could not figure out how to make use the Nvidia GPU. I’d say it runs noticeably better on Linux than it did on Windows.

Same here! Anything under 26° is too cold and I’ll wear a sweater. I sleep under a winter blanket in summer and under two winter blankets in winter. Plus I have heating pads scattered around basically all the places in my home where I hang out. My doctor has checked my thyroid and everything seems fine, I guess I just really like feeling warm.
Oh, I also fell asleep in a 70° Sauna last week because it was very comfy.

My low-class ass had no idea gold bars were stored with the smaller side down like that, TIL

I mean it seems about equally as invasive as an IUD. I bet people could get used to the concept.

I’ve been wondering about a similar thing recently - if AI is this big, life-changing thing, why were there so little rumblings among tech-savy people before it became “mainstream”? Sure, Machine Learning was somewhat talked about, but very little of it seemed to relate to LLM-style Machine learning. With basically all other innovations technology, the nerds tended to have it years before everyone else, so why was it so different with AI?

Obama becoming President, I think! I had a very old Elementary School teacher, and while she certainly used some not-okay words to explain the event to us, I think she was quite supportive of it. I must have been 9 years old? So either my memory is bad or there just weren’t all that many interesting world events that I would have heard about when I was younger than that.

The switch to winter time was last sunday, it’s been a fun week at work so far.

3300$ is about 2800€. After taxes, I earn 2600€ a month and live very comfortably on that (50k in savings/etfs, never taken a loan in my life).
Really hope that guy doesn’t do anything with numbers for work, I would not trust his math skills.

Eh, it’s a summer fit. For winter I much prefer big knit dresses and those fakeout thermal thights:
