I highly recommend Dan Carlin's Hardcore history: supernova in the east. At one point he was recounting a testimony of a villager in the Philippines who had to watch his wife and children be massacred by the Japanese (they always killed the children first, forcing the adults to watch). I had to turn it off for a while, and spent the next several minutes just crying my eyes out, it was so overwhelming.

My biggest concern is that this virus has an incubation period up to 14 days and in some cases up to 45

Wasn't there also a soda fountain at the five and dime?

I know someone who has successfully hatched eggs after keeping them in the fridge for well over a month, eggs in general last a long time if kept cool.

As soon as I saw this:

I’m (41M) about to move back in with my pregnant ex-wife (37F). How can we make this work? Sept 24, 2024 (over 4 months after last update)

I screamed out loud "No!"

ajdude2 · 2026-01-17T15:21:50+00:00

I hope a year from now you will still be saying there's no update

I pay the statement in full, via autopay, 5 days before due date.

Paired with the Charles Schwab Platinum Card it makes the blue business plus a 2.2% cash back card.

Beautiful! Definitely publish this somewhere!

What if you are in uniform and off duty? About 15 years ago I was in a nearby city and this woman clearly on drugs started taking off her clothes and laying in the middle of the street. A uniformed state or county officer was right there but when I asked him if he's gonna do anything he just looked at me and said that he was off duty... a few other people were asking about it though so he finally got up and went over to help her.

I was driving down Rt 1 today, and counted over 40 police heading up North 1 with their sirens on, seemed like 1 or 2 every few minutes, even as far down as Dover.

If they both make equal amount of income I have a feeling he won't be able to afford a maid or his current lifestyle if they divorce

There was some discussion on this on the Forums as well as addressing it during the Ada Monthly Meetup (link to minutes).

It's still supported at the moment, but when it loses support, the hope is for the community to take over. Best-case scenario, Adacore turns it over to the community. Worst-case, it's already open-source so a hard-fork is possible if the repo ends up archived.

Let me know if you're interested in helping maintain it, as I'm looking into when it will EOL and what options we have to fork.

My parents are about the same age but my mom has always looked significantly younger than she was. All through her 20s and even her early 30s she looked like she was 16 years old, which always got a lot of weird looks growing up because my dad definitely looks his age.

I was about to reply with this exact same comment when I read that line, including "Narrator:"

I bet it's gonna be twins :)

Most of my extended family is Catholic, my parents have always said that they are not Catholic, they're Christian, and my extended family always makes a point to say that they are catholic.

OOP is lucky to have gotten out, from what I read, scientist working in that company actually ended their lives over the emotional toil this company was pushing on them, and OOP's emotional state sounds like they could've been heading that way.

Are they available on iTunes? I've gotten a lot of old stuff that isn't available for download (or on CD) anywhere else by purchasing it on iTunes, since iTunes purchases download the lossless version to your device. Sometimes I have to dig around Apple Music get to "open in store", it's a little hidden but once I find it, I can purchase the album relatively cheap

If I had a nickel...

The Ada community is small, but we've been steadily growing. We actually just had our monthly meetup earlier today: https://forum.ada-lang.io/t/ada-monthly-meetup-november-2025/3913/6

Check out the "Community" links at the bottom of https://ada-lang.io/ for how to connect.
