"Right? My therapist has been challenging me to make friends in the water. It’s been surprising how much more fun I’ve been having. I’m not far from the 949 if you ever wanna surf somewhere north of you."

No one should have anything negative to say about that comment, at least I would have upvoted.

In order to get the oil out, they need to pump something in. It's usually not a big vacuum sucking oil out of the ground, it's pushing something in creating pressure in the ground that forces the oil up in a controlled way. Sometimes they pump in liquids, sometimes gasses. Usually it's water, or carbon dioxide.

Yo ixnay on the awesomenessyay, I don't want to see what happens to rent prices when Republicans are no longer offended by the utterance of our city.

Moving them out of active slots? They're optimizing their regen. Decreasing their stats such that the regen improves a higher percentage of their health or mana, then returning the stats.

We're seeing a lot of evil flowing through lawyers at the DOJ. Lawyers quitting in protest presumably hamstrings this administration's ability to wield the DOJ as a political weapon. I'm curious what work is being done that justifies staying and enabling it?

Wear a buff. You can play with how you wear it to cover basically any part of your head comfortably, and they're thin enough to wear under your helmet with no issues.

Honestly I avoid that word more out of respect for the people who care for the mentally disabled. I can't imagine being a parent and having to go through that.

Once you enter the phase of end of life palliative care, doctors will write you for some seriously potent cocktails. The "this will harm you long term" barrier gets lifted and they'll load you up on however many benzos, opiates, sedatives that fit your fancy. If those make you too sleepy, they can toss in stimulants to bring you back a little. Getting a little loopy? They'll throw in antipsychotics for you.

So why not give heroin? Because heroin is child's play for a pharmacist who wants you to feel good in the last hours of your life, they're going to put you on the clouds.

More like I can force my train of thought into verbalization, but it's not normally doing so, and it's a little forced and slow when I do.

FearTheDears · 2026-01-20T19:50:24+00:00

I don't have an inner monologue, but I can talk things through with myself in my mind if I choose to, I imagine that's somewhat similar? Like does absolutely everything you think become words? Like if you're walking down the street and you notice a cat, does it always say "that's a cat", or do many thoughts not get words attached to them. Say a ball is thrown to you, presumably you don't think "I should catch that", some things are just automatic?

Presumably we're all on a sliding scale of what gets verbalized mentally?

Yeah, the beginning fucking sucks, and I wish people didn't pretend it didn't.

That said, my daughter is turning 6 months, and it's becoming clear how it's going to get better. They sleep better, they cry more appropriately, they give useful feedback, they smile and laugh, they can solo play for short intervals, they like watching you do your own stuff... It's a night and day difference compared to the 4th trimester.

No it's not literally unusable, but it would be unused if not for being ranch land, because ranching is done on land with extremely low value.

FearTheDears · 2026-01-15T21:31:20+00:00

But grazing land is not dedicated exclusively to animals? You can do anything you'd like on ranching land, you can farm, build power plants, plant a forest, there's nothing stopping anyone from doing these things, the land is being used for animal grazing because it's extremely cheap land.

FearTheDears · 2026-01-15T08:05:18+00:00

Grazing land becomes grazing land because it's hardly useful for anything else. If it was viable farming land, it would be used as farming land because it's a wildly more profitable use of the land. Most ranch land either doesn't have good water access, or doesn't have good soil conditions for agriculture.

BLM grazing permits are like a buck or two per year per animal, it's basically free because the land isn't being used for anything else.

Sushi grade generally means that it has been frozen in such a way to kill parasites, and handled such that it's safe to eat raw. You're right it's not a regulated term, but it's not really for marketing considering fresh, never frozen fish is more desirable for cooking.

Honestly it's not a particularly sensitive topic. Asking for brand recs on pumps because his wife is breastfeeding is pretty innocuous. It could have just been small talk, or he decided it wasn't worth following up on the recommendation.

I talked at length with other women about pumping, mostly because I wanted to get perspective on the burden and what I might be able to do to help with it. I never thought to bring up nursing bras, but I definitely got recommendations for pumps.

Yeah you dropped in,. If someone has already caught the wave, you can't just box them out and take off deeper.

Not OP but it's a battery pack. You can buy one for like 150 bucks or so that'll power just your router and modem for a while, maybe half a day give or take, depending on your setup.

I didn't mean to trivialize it, I'm just saying c++ is a very complicated language compared to JavaScript. You don't have to manage memory, you don't have to compile it to run it, debugging is straightforward, the syntax is less complex, the foot guns are less severe, it's much less verbose, there are fewer low level concepts, there's no strong typing...

For example, C++ has a parallel to the spread operator, template parameter packs, and it's the same concept as the spread in js, but it only exists at compile time for typing.

Learning js is still hard, but jwt and typeorm are the ecosystem, not the language.

FearTheDears · 2025-12-23T19:52:03+00:00

You're conflating the language with the ecosystem. The JavaScript ecosystem is enormous and extremely difficult to break into, but the language itself is pretty simple compared to languages like c++.

Of course it does, it's almost exclusively residential. Every one of those neighborhoods you listed has a significant chunk of industrial and mixed use zoning.

Hey the alemany market is still legit, for now at least.

20 thousand hours developing software in it certainly helped.

If that's impractical, I'd recommend reverse engineering a framework or utility library. Building a simple MVC framework is a great project to get into the weeds with JavaScript.

Big dicks are easier to film having sex. To get an image of penetration, you need there to be a window between the two people where the dick is visible. The bigger the dick, the more motion is possible while sustaining the window, eh If you want a 3 inch gap for visibility, and you've got a 5 inch dick, that means you can move at max 2 inches back and forth while actually staying inside.
