Mullvad for VPN, Bitwarden for password manager.

Of course I didn’t just take its word for it. I still didn’t trust it enough to leave it at that. It was a fun exercise to do though.

The winter storm was set to arrive while I’m traveling, and I needed to drip our faucets to avoid our pipes bursting. I didn’t want to waste water from a dripping faucet for more than a week, so I asked duckduckgo AI to calculate how much water will 1 drop a second accumulate and if it will overflow on a standard baththub with the drain closed. I can do the math myself, but it’s easier for AI to do it.

How many times do you expect them to best the drum?

*gestures at all the recycled crap hollywood puts out.

This dude takes a ton of pills a day and uses his son’s blood, but still looks older than some Asians several years older than him.

Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve. You had several years to do it.

C’mon, whataburger isn’t as good as it used to be, but it’s definitely better than mcdonalds.

Back in my home country, we were always told not to smile and have a neutral expression for government IDs. It was a surprise for me when I was being encouraged to smile at the DMV. I just said “no, I’m good”.

The need to pee and poop.

They probably do, because they wouldn’t want those soldiers talking about what their life (and the NK military) is like.

Because the majority of people don’t actually know or care about what the fediverse is. They just wanted to jump ship and BlueSky was the convenient one for them.

I’m traveling right now and will do this when I get back to my hotel.

That’s why it helps to have a staging environment as well.

All my meetings are internal (i.e. not customer facing). I join 15-30 seconds after start time. That’s enough for other people to join in and I don’t have to do the awkward small talk with the host while waiting for others. If I’m hosting, I start the meeting 2 minutes early.

I still wear clothes that I got 12-15 years ago. So I would say at least a decade at the minimum.

Depending on your level of comfort, over-ear headphones can be less or more hot than on-ear ones (rests around the ears vs on the ears). Openback headphones are open on the sides so they theoretically should be cooler as well.

Avocado shake, at least in the western world. Unless you come across one at an asian shake/milktea shop, and even then, that menu item is rare.

Not allowing you to paste a password, so you have to type it manually every time.

Yes, but until then you are parking money that you can actually use to pay for medical bills, unlike a PPO where you pay hundreds of dollars a month just to the insurance company then still need to pay a deductible anyway. Sure, a PPO deductible is lower than an HSA, and your bills should theoretically be lower as well; that’s why I said if you don’t have chronic issues or you don’t get sick often, you might be better off with an HSA. You can always switch to a PPO when the chronic issues start.

For example. In my first year at my job, I chose PPO. I was paying $400 a month. The only medical stuff I did for the year was visit a specialist twice at $35 a visit. Even if I was on an HSA and paid full price for the doctor visits, it would still be cheaper than the $4800 I paid on my PPO for the year. If I was on an HSA back then, I would’ve paid only $50 a month. If I had the same budget, then I could’ve put the rest of the $350 into an HSA tax free, and I can actually use it to pay medical bills. Also, my employer puts in $1000 for free into my HSA, so that’s an automatic $1000 less on my deductible.

Lmao how does moving the content moderation team from CA to TX remove bias.
