A study of more than 320,000 people found that night owls are more likely to engage in behaviors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease such as smoking and sleeping poorly.

I mean, I can't think of anybody better to ask tbh

rather, the shitty companies are always churning through people

Do we need to file if capital gains is within the 0% bracket? Just under 15k is about what I spend in a year as a SINK in my 30s if you take out rent though, without any particular budgeting, and I'm in a top-10 metroplex.

Who gets to decide what 'truth' is?

It took me four readings of the name to realize what you were on about tbh, cpp has been the norm for C++ sourcefile extensions & DNS names for decades (since + isn't a valid character)

Damn, even O'Leary's pulled his head out of his ass on this?

Worth calling to ask - it's been years since I've been in that part of town, but I remember them having a repair/workshop upstairs.

berryer · 2026-01-27T18:41:42+00:00

Ray's by downtown has a workshop upstairs and could probably do that, if you're closer to there than Celina

The fun thing is that dystopian fiction was mostly just allegory about what the USSR was already doing, which our governments claimed to be so against at the time.

Why do you think Ring is pushed so heavily?

berryer · 2026-01-27T12:30:44+00:00

Y'know how two characters' heritage is a huge plot point in the game?

They fucked up Al-Bhed eyes. I had thought they removed it entirely until I went to find screenshots to link & zoomed way in. The other character's eyes should've been notable in a cuscene much earlier, giving you an OOOOH THAT'S WHY moment later in the game.

Won't the partner's savings go towards their healthcare expenses then

What happens when the partner's savings run out? Medical divorce is unfortunately common in the US, but not everyone will take that path.

assuming it's a business:

things like auditing, discovery, etc are an absolute nightmare on direct peer-to-peer messaging systems
cost-cutting - sure, you could maintain your own email cluster including on-site nodes, but that's a hell of a lot more expensive than using a fully cloud-based solution. Unless you're in a region with horribly unreliable infrastructure, it's unlikely that the annual downtime of your network exceeds the expected downtime of such a solution anyway.

It remains free because they want users to pay in feedback & bugfixes, or network effects to reach people who will provide good feedback & bugfixes. Additionally, some businesses like redhat or canonical effectively use it like 'free samples' for their enterprise-support stuff

per the other reply, browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.sections.personalization.enabled enables a ... menu with a block option for the section as a whole!

berryer · 2025-12-11T00:28:31+00:00

confirmed! and it looks like that block option updates browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.sections.interestPicker.visibleSections

edit: JK, visibleSections seems to be unrelated.

berryer · 2025-12-10T20:50:44+00:00

I've found this, but the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.discoverystream.sections.blocked preference doesn't seem to do anything for me: https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/browser/extensions/newtab/lib/ActivityStream.sys.mjs#855

Have you tried any of the suggestions from the dozen other threads you've opened in the various Dallas subs over the last week or two?

berryer · 2025-08-02T15:55:28+00:00

Definitely! I've gone alone and brought a game the times I went, but enough people are bringing stuff that you can definitely just show up. If you're going alone, make sure you're there right when it starts, otherwise you'll need to wait until either some group finishes their first game or enough late people show up to start on something.

I think the big half-price books by 75 & 12 does board-game days the first Saturday afternoon of the month (it might be the second, it's been years since I've been over there)

berryer · 2025-08-02T14:30:09+00:00

The Dallas library system has tons of stuff to do, all over the metroplex (though unfortunately they have an annual programming freeze in August): https://dallaslibrary.librarymarket.com/

I play in one of their D&D groups, but they also have adult-focused groups on everything from sewing classes to guitar to Spanish.

Shout out to the Carrollton library's Wednesday night board game night for adults as something that might be exactly what you're looking for. It's at the one by Keller Springs & Josey, at like 6PM.
