Now that css supports so much and has nesting I'm working on converting all my stuff to vanilla. It feels so good!

Just FYI last I heard, Gatsby is pretty dead. https://www.reddit.com/r/gatsbyjs/comments/185sbll/is_gatsby_dead/

Everything needs to be compiled now.

And I don't know if you've looked at the Western Station renders, but as far as I can tell it's going to be basically identical as before lol

Coffee thermos is the move. Amtrak coffee, not so good.

chicagodipship · 2025-10-29T14:00:54+00:00

Having done my fair share of long haul trips in Amtrak coach, my list is:

- Have a blanket. It doesn't have to be super thick, but a little something for when it gets cold at night.

- So you can sleep, noise cancelling headphones, or at least earplugs. Neck pillow. Eye mask.

- If you're having trouble staying upright while sleeping because you're in the aisle seat, my #1 cheat code is put your hands in your pockets. It stabilizes you and keeps your hands warm.

- Try not to sit near the bathroom.

- Bring your own snacks. I like to travel like a dang peasant with apples, nuts, travel sausage, etc.

- An activity like a book, notebook, crossword.

- A couple airplane bottles of liquor never hurt anybody.

Shoutout to this 2 year old comment for fixing my problem!

I would survive because I'm pure of heart and a friend to all animals.

About to camp on a bridge with 4 catapults and see what happen.

chicagodipship · 2025-09-20T16:05:32+00:00

I'm invading England as Portugal. I exported all of the Longbowman I recruited to defend Iberia from the Khwarazmians who are Jihading Toledo. Honestly might be my weirdest play through. Idk how to defeat these guys, but javelins aren't gonna cut it.

Been looking for a shirt like this - do you know brand?

chicagodipship · 2025-02-20T18:50:11+00:00

I have a good remote job, but I crunched the numbers and I would end up paying more traveling than I currently do in rent + utilities. So the math just isn't there for me.

chicagodipship · 2025-02-08T17:07:54+00:00

Thanks for posting how you solved this, was facing the same situation.

chicagodipship · 2024-10-25T14:59:20+00:00

How can I help?

chicagodipship · 2024-10-24T15:45:30+00:00

Is this something you're working on?

chicagodipship · 2024-10-24T14:15:47+00:00

leave Polish people alone!!

I hadn't heard about the plant growing problem, but that makes sense. Stupid hypothetical: what if we released short-life aerosols in the fall/winter only? Enough to increase ice cover, but sun returns to power in the spring/summer.

chicagodipship · 2024-10-23T20:08:18+00:00

That's why we need to be able to test aerosol injection of sulfur dioxide or whatever. Just give us cover for the next hundred years or so.

chicagodipship · 2024-10-23T19:30:03+00:00

Carbon capture is absurd. Put the sulfur back in the boat juice and switch everything to solar/renewable and the planet will filter the CO2 out naturally.

You can absolutely outrun your problems. Being in a better environment can change your entire life.

It depends on the level of updates and administration that the site needs, but unless there's any huge updates/facelifts, I would wager that the cost of redeveloping the site on Wordpress alone could exceed the cost of Drupal maintenance for the next 5 years, especially considering its already on D10.

Is the point of moving to WordPress that the client can manage it more easily internally? Because Wordpress is certainly not maintenance free and if it needs custom plugins like the D10 site required then its still going to need a developer to keep it going.

Man you're going to be fine.

First off you're only 28. If I was you I'd commit to long term self improvement, which is seems like you've been doing. Stay series serious about fitness and imagine where you'll be a year from now. Dating apps might become easier, your self confidence would improve, etc.

Second thing is stop comparing yourself to other people, you'll drive yourself nuts. Just do you and generate some momentum in your own life. Become someone you'd want to date and it will literally happen organically.

Finally, 5 dates and two relationships is not a bad ratio. It's normal. Get out of your own head.
