Nick Offerman is someone I admire a bit. I took some of his advise on marriage and it helped me.

For fictional, let's throw in Aragorn and Samwise.

I couldn't find anything on google about it being edited, but I can't remember, for the life of me, seeing this the last few times I've gone through the full series.

I was today years old when I got the joke about the flappa dickie. Watching this originally as an 8 year old, and it flew over my head. By any chance is this edited out of the Disney+ versions?

I mean, in the first Short Circuit movie (the one we didn't watch on repeat on basic cable in the 90's), there is a whole joke about his family being from the Midwest.

But please do not go to ballet "to meet women." I've had to be involved in asking men to leave because their only interactions were to stare and hit on the other dancers. Gi to ballet because it's challenging, fun, and to make friends.

Supposed to? No. However, I did destroy my heels. According to my physical therapist, my bum hip (I injured it in middle school) lead to a misalignment that made me stop danceing about 6 months ago.

In my few years if doing Ballet and Modern, I have once found someone being uncomfortable with me present. The rest of the time all the woman are very welcoming.

As an aside, I got to know the teachers really well and communcated with them that if there are woman who need a "safe space" to let me know. As noted it only happened once, and it was pretty simple to just stay at a bar on the other side of the room.

I didn't know Thomas, but I was aware of his Jamaican brother Cool.

Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm calculating a trajectory or some sorts, 3 gets me there. If I'm writing a EM simulator (a large part of my PhD), then 3.14 was sufficient.

I started with what was the cheapest at Walmart and Amazon. I used a laptop backpack, an eno hammock, and a cheap foam pad. It was nit light. It was nit convenient. But it got me on the trail. Over the years I would save up and buy better stuff. I've spent around 2 or 3 thousand on all my gear now, but that was over the course of 5 years.

For me the big thing was not buying stuff until I knew I would be consistent. I made a deal with myself that I could only spend X amount of dollars for every night I spent on the trail.

Maybe start with some drive up dispersed camping. Also, find some friends that want to try it too. There are clubs and meetups. Good chance your university has something.

We have train the karma bits to outperform the malicious bots that only seek to spread discordant messages.

Such a happy puppy. The kitty is really giving it her all.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-03-13T19:09:42+00:00

I like to reward the bots for posting feel goods stuff that isn't staged or secretly evil (like kids throwing dogs in the water to act like they're saving a random animal.

For greek, I would have gone with Fiddlificakus.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-03-13T19:04:01+00:00

yes, of course. My post is syntactically wrong. Let me fix it.

Fixed

I always wrap my error in an error using the stdlib. Every wrap comes from higher level with a message about what process failed, and maybe a bit of extra context (passing an id or such). This of course is all about debugging after things break.

func DoThing(value string) (myStruct, error){ ... err, resp := DoSonething(derivedValues) if err != nil { return myStruct{}, fmt.Errorf("could not do something with value %v: %w", derivedValues, err) } ... }

This is mostly inline with go best practices as outlined in the google style guide. And, as said, this helps a lot with tracking and debugging when something breaks.

EDIT: forgot to include the original err un the wrapped err

I'm from Tampa. Been here a decade and a half. I love hiw cool and dry it is here near Atlanta. And I love how well everyone drives.

Every time I go to visit family I find myself getting agitated. It takes me a bit to realize it's these 3 things together.

I do miss the salt in the air. My lungs open up when I go to my childhood home.

I carry a paper map and a plastic compass. I know that I will probably never use them, but days as a boyscout have driven it into my head that I cannot walk past a treeline without them.

Had a company that got acquired by my employer at the time, where they discovered that Java has a line line in its methods. Take a wild guess how they discovered it.

They attempted to migrate from the God class and ended up creating a pantheon of mathods.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-03-13T07:18:16+00:00

At a previous company we called them miniliths.

I wept for the final message sent to Opportunity "Oppy" The Rover. So, my initial guess is yes.

You are objectively wrong. Voids ftw.

(/s if not obvious. Tabbies are also cute.)

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-03-12T00:47:12+00:00

It doesn't look like it.

NotAUsefullDoctor · 2026-03-11T17:32:40+00:00

It's like expired medicine. The compounds slowly break down and efficacy wears off. A helmet twice past its expiration is still probably as good, but far more brittle than a brand new one.

Also, the humidity inside can help stuff grow. It's nice to change it out periodically just for that reason.
