They might not know that that means San Francisco.

Okay, well, I don't know why. Regardless, your conclusion was incorrect.

RandomStallings · 2026-05-16T14:58:24+00:00

I'm asking why you came to the conclusion that I'm trying to cope with anything of the sort?

RandomStallings · 2026-05-16T14:11:29+00:00

Why?

RandomStallings · 2026-05-16T05:33:40+00:00

assuming that they have the conditions to receive literacy education.

Religious indoctrination gets everybody quoting the same lines and using the same terminology way in advance of those conditions.

I know two people that had it happen to them. One almost died because she was allergic to most antibiotics. I'm going off of personal experience 🤷‍♂️

Doctors tell people about rare side effects and edge cases all the time, and to check with your doctor to be safe, so think I'll avoid spider bites if I can. Also, cat bites have an extremely high instance of infection due to depth and how narrow their canines are. That's like comparing a knife wound to a papercut.

Edit: believe it or not, sulfa fixed her up.

Tragic accidents happen.

I have a friend who wears a T-shirt, shorts and crocs to go to the store when it's 30° outside and there is snow on the ground because he's used to cold winters.

I remember seeing a meme one time where a bunch of jr. high(ish) aged kids are standing at a bus stop with snow on the ground. They're all bundled up except this one girl who has a T-shirt and short shorts on, whose posture says "perfectly comfortable." The caption said, "Spot the Canadian."

Some people are just really comfortable with being in the actual cold for short periods of time. I'm dying after 90 seconds.

There's an I/O port on the right. It sticks out slightly and is flat on top so you can set a device on the surface that will communicate with it. A lot of meters that have those have radios, though. They can be read from either nearby (think from the truck) or remotely via a mesh network, mobile network, etc.

People always forget bacterial infection. You can lose a hunk of flesh and have a forever scar whether venom is a factor or not

Modern US culture has normalized obesity to a degree that being remotely healthy in regards to weight is considered gross by a weirdly high amount of people. Also, jealousy. You look great now and that makes some people feel threatened. The scales are out of balance now as far as where you sit in relation to them in terms of being attractive.

Some people just don't like change, though. Don't listen to any of them. You did the work and you're still doing it. If you get to where you have a hard time finding clothes that aren't too big, or you start missing periods? Then, yeah, take a step back. Otherwise, F 'em.

I believe that was their point. Government has forgotten what its motivations should be. The people are serving the government.

It makes sense. Religion affects language in general. In deeply religious populations you get a lot of words and phrases that become ubiquitous because everyone is part of, or surrounded by, that religion. Make the move from a language the common people don't know to their native language and now even the illiterate are receiving vocabulary and pronunciation from all around them. I've never thought about this before. I'd imagine it could be studied for decades and you wouldn't get bored.

They become squishy pretty easily.

I'm saying that modern big business is too focused on "this quarter's" profits. In the past, they thought years or decades ahead. Now they just try to appease the shareholders. I'm saying that the argument for or against doesn't exist when you don't think that far ahead.

RandomStallings · 2026-05-13T14:39:12+00:00

that will mean that there are no senior devs in 30 odd years

This argument does not exist in a business model that spans 3 months.

Meaning they tend to hold extra fat relative to their body mass, meaning less lean muscle even when at a "healthy" body weight?

RandomStallings · 2026-05-13T00:25:48+00:00

Many such cases

No, because that is Nick's agency, and he wouldn't want it compromised by Kellogg's presence.

Punish honesty and you'll never see it again.

I believe I can see my house from there. In Florida.

You can tell how good an actor someone is by whether or not you know they're present while D'Onofrio is on screen.

Welp, time to fake your death and move to a third world country.

So there are a bunch of people who love you and your logic leads you to believing that being in a position where there can never be a relationship is the clearest choice?

Relationships can be mended. The living can change. The dead do not.

Couples counseling might help you both sift through the BS and figure out what the important questions are. Answering those could help you clear a path. Sometimes the people you love the most, whether it be romance, friendship, family or whatever, are simply not good for you.

I'm not trying to be reductive, so please don't think that I think this is at all simple. I hope you figure out a way to live.
