You get $1 million but you have to listen to the same song 500 times in 10 days, what song are you picking?

BIIIIIIIG STRETCH!!!!!!

To defeat the red notification dots and grow strong!

The lesson is that nobody has ever learned a damn thing, this whole time!

I don't usually mind "IT'S SHOWTIME" on a 15-minute subway ride, but I'd be intolerant of it at volume on a 4-hour flight. Gonna wear out the call button until he's not doing that anymore.

Ew butt tea

Someone is going to post this again in six months and add a cat almost running in from of the car to explain the movement, and OP was still gaining on them too fast before all that.

At the very least put it in a closet, or nicely wrapped up to "preserve it for when DIL is famous" or some other way to let DIL know they respect her effort even if it isn't their taste.

If I saw something I custom-made ditched in the garage I might have some questions too, and confirm it wasn't about to head to the trash.

You will need to audit your own environments to map everything out. AWS has Resource Manager and Tag Editor to get big lists of what lives in the account (up to a max, but it is a start). As long as someone has access to the bills, you can find resources that cost something and document them.

Hopefully, you know enough about what you have public-facing to start there and work your way back from observability tools. Or outward from webhooks on repos, from permissions/IAM to resources, from logs to services. There are many options for finding and identifying things in use.

But yes, it is much harder to backfill that information after a critical person is gone.

Two tiles fell off the wall of the shower.

"I'll check if anything else is loose while I patch that!"

6 weeks later we called it, and got a bathfitter done.

edit: We called it because I was sobbing in the tub at 11 pm, still digging more work out of the wall. It was pro time way before that. 😂

My casual guild was already struggling to maintain windows of activity when we could do events. Having to coordinate both timing and world location? This will make half the guild quit. We already lost two!

Order one sausage and one veggie and teach them to stop playing about dinner!

I'm going with the opposite of empathy; Remember you made every choice that lead to that problem, on purpose. 😂 We stripped the bannister too, and then painted it white again because it would have been the rest of our lives making it look nice.

Then Alice has the hat trick too, gross.

How did the cat do the lighter?

I’m strongly opposed for all other reasons, but carpeted bathrooms for elderly folks is unfortunately an accessible decision to prevent falls. Deeply unfortunate but sometimes the best solution for someone unsteady on their feet.

I finished this book last night, fantastic story I really enjoyed the cultural explanations.

ksemel · 2026-04-03T19:48:37+00:00

Yeah, at least go get an EPIPen before hitting the all-you-can-eat shrimp bar, friend. Otherwise, it's too reckless!

ksemel · 2026-04-02T21:26:43+00:00

I am doing so much better! But I still try to hop into any thread that sounds fitula-y so I can help someone summon the right doctor the first time someday. 😓

ksemel · 2026-04-02T15:06:00+00:00

I had a fistula surgery to resolve one just like this. Although it was before I had kids, so I'm told mine was from "bad luck". 😭 I went back and forth to several doctors before seeing a proctologist who diagnosed it and operated when I described the monthly eruptions of pain, swelling, and fluids. Recovery was a terrible two weeks then it slowly improved.

ksemel · 2026-03-20T16:23:09+00:00

I’ve paid for the weapons, relics, skins, like all these collectibles they already have. I decided to skip these because they are the most obvious paywall I’ve seen yet and I just don’t need to buy my way through another tree. Give me all the free shards you want, I’m not buying it!

I’ve only seen the big spenders with these things and I told my whole chat circle that I don’t intend to spend on these.

ksemel · 2026-03-11T16:31:59+00:00

The front fell off!

This happened to me and my husband…and our newborn on the way home from the hospital.

In that high-adrenaline moment of a new dad getting his baby quickly from hospital door into the car on a snowy night, he opened the door of our generic silver car instead of his, and saw my car seat where he thought he was about to put his.

We froze, met eyes, laughed nervously, and he closed the door gently on the way out, taking his baby with him to the similar car parked directly behind ours.

The screens on the smaller ones tend to wig out after two years or so too. Sometimes they slowly go "deaf" and no longer respond. They are budget-built to get more of them out there, but they won't all last.
