I was so scared for my wife’s well-being and our finances when we went in for an induced birth.

Turns out that, health wise, I came out worse than she did; and the whole situation had very little (immediate) impact on our finances.

Also, I got lucky because we got an amazing kid out of the whole situation.

If you think that, I think you might understand pregnancy less than I.

That sounds like a RESTful API.

Regardless, TIL. Thanks!

Happy to be of service!

CRUD

When I was growing up the most advanced console to which I had access was the Genesis (or Master System, if you prefer). On it, by far the game I played the most was Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. (I liked Tobias Boon - sorry - Noob Saibot).

For that game, you could unlock debug mode by pressing b, a, down, left, a, down, c, right, up, down. BADLADCRUD. I don’t know what CRUD is in the context in which you were commenting, but it reminded me of this.

I once, very stupidly, shared that video with a mother who had recently been estranged from her young child.

It was a bad decision on my part and, unsurprisingly, didn’t go over well.

I’d like to know how pregnancy works, could you enlighten me?

“Server” is a colloquialism. As used in casual speech, it’s a system that serves something. If you can access anything the system offers remotely, it’s serving to you and therefore is a server.

Long before I really got into IT, my mom’s laptop had an internet connection it shared. That was a server.

After that but before I setup my first Linux system, my brother and I were sharing files from our desktops. We were both servers (and clients).

A server is just something that serves something.

I thought last Thursday was the major concern.

He apparently once acted as one of the structural supports for a skyscraper.

I recently proposed a solution to my boss (who’s older than I am, but not by much) regarding a technical problem we have been having the last few days. He said “that won’t get you anywhere. Ask Gemini.”

Reluctantly, I did. Besides asking it how to disable it, it was the first time I (sort of) voluntarily interacted with it.

It made three suggestions. Two didn’t work. The other one was the solution I proposed to my boss. I told him that (more politely) and he said he wasn’t really interested in addressing the problem anyway and that I should move on.

I don’t have a caption, but it reminds me of the National Aquarium in Baltimore. One of the many attractions of the facility involves walking down several stories whilst sharks very visibly swim around you.

If given the opportunity, I’d recommend it. In case further enticement is needed, one of my first dates with my wife was taking her there and it seems to have worked out so far!

That was most likely the inspiration for the episode in question.

Thank you for the answer!

Well … We’ve all been there.

Ably demonstrated in the documentary The Simpsons.

I’m married and we have a kid. When I first moved into my house I stayed here alone for 2-3 months while the wife and kid mostly stayed at the previous house to prep it for selling. (I had injuries that prevented me from being much use in that task, though I contributed when I could.)

I thought it would be easy to keep the new house clean - after all, when I was here alone, there was hardly any mess and what there was was mostly contained within the living room and kitchen; those messes were minor and I picked up after myself every night! Turns out that a kid and two tired parents make a lot more mess than one lonely single person who doesn’t do much. Also, most of our stuff (at that time) was at the old house, so there wasn’t much to use to make a mess here even if I wanted to.

My wife is smarter than I am. During a phone call, I expressed the above to her, finishing with “I think it will be easy to keep this place clean.” She responded with something like "oh, you do, do you … "

In case there’s any confusion, I’d much rather be with my wife and kid in a hoarder’s house than be alone in a pristine environment, I was just unduly surprised by the change.

I will share an anecdote that is barely relevant, but is one of my favorites … The day we signed for this house, all three of us were here. The kid, much younger at the time, left a toy triceratops atop the tank of one of the commodes. I never once even thought about cleaning it up because it was one of the only reminders of my family I had at the time. I never thought a toy dinosaur would make me miss anyone so much.

Did this guy steal Peter Parker’s photos?

I went to college from 11-15. When I graduated my parents gave me a bit of time then said that I had the choice of getting a job or going back to school.

I started working at a convenience store. So far it’s worked out for me but realistically I should have kept going.

Did you stop using thorns or is it just because of these being quoted?
