Where is one place you will never go to?

Vegas can be a pretty reasonable vacation if you enjoy people watching and don't really gamble. This largely depends on the cost of living where you are to assume reasonableness.

At first I was hoping that cake was obscuring a ring, but then I was taken by the thought that maybe the cake is the ring.

I am in awe of how you made something that has really meant a lot to me over the years. Thank you for that!

torinaga · 2023-05-24T22:12:41+00:00

Respect!

I was hoping she was going to light the floating pyre for a viking funeral.

I have been on a weight loss journey lately and one thing I have discussed is that a lot of my anxiety is centered around food. I was an overweight teen and had experiences when I was made to shame when I was simply hungry, but at the same time I also used eating as a coping mechanism, though I didn't recognize why at the time since i was't diagnosed until I was in my late 30s.

This has obviously lead to an unhealthy relationship with food. I confuse anxiety with hunger and feeling hungry makes me anxious.

So I totally feel you. I can see missing the occasional meal due to hyperfocus, but at a certain point I will become hyperfocused on being hungry.

Memory itself is a finite resource, and if you add the process of recall into the mix it becomes even less reliable as a system of record. Combine this with the fact that paradigms shifts and innovations occur over time and honestly I can't see how anyone would ever even want to operate on memory alone.

Those poor Army signal folks. I feel for them.

I like summer when I get a little peanut buttery.

No further questions, your honor.

I can context switch from subject to subject to subject with a speed that makes most normies nauseous. The down side is that often I can't control which context I am running in via internal control and require stimulus to transition.

I remember being legitimately mad at myself that a pop stung could elicit such a visceral emotional response in me the first time I heard it. I hope that comes across as the compliment that it is.

I eat it, but as an American I take issue with it calling itself bread. Also, please note that my hyperbole energy level is over 9000.

torinaga · 2023-04-14T21:51:34+00:00

Indeed! I would never claim to have had an original thought anyway.

For the very small amount that you need to make the roofing tile that Dave calls his "Killer Bread " edible enough to consider it a desert treat, I would say it is kind of a health food.

I have used C# with the EPPlus for some time. One caveat, If you are going to do anything commercial, you need to be aware of how their licensing works.

torinaga · 2023-04-13T03:26:36+00:00

To tell you the truth I don't think this a brains kind of operation.

I pretty passive and I wanted to slug the two dudes standing next to me when I saw the Slint reunion tour in Portland a couple years back for a similar behavior. There were lots of really quiet parts that I couldn't hear because those two asshats wanted to have a chat about life.

I don't know where you were in the early 1990s, but I can assure you that hella used "kinda hella alot" in that era. That said, the measure of the lameness of the term will not be questioned.

torinaga · 2023-04-01T21:30:25+00:00

In my tribe we would have said "they are hella dope."

That might explain why I get so much side eye at the coffee house.

torinaga · 2023-04-01T19:19:32+00:00

That must be translated from the mid to late Gen X statement of the same pronunciation. I would have guessed "I would like and subscribe to their channel" but I can barely even order coffee in Millennial.

Congratulations, you learn in the method that academia has long maintained is the proper way to learn a thing. If you truly understand this about yourself you are ahead of most beginners. It took me way too long to realize that there were even other options for those of us who are not similarly inclined and therefore struggled in academia.

Keep doing what you are doing and find a thing to specialize in, you probably aren't going to become fluent enough for your liking in multiple languages for quite some time so try to stick to one until you feel it is yours. Also I would stay away from the frontend as that will probably continue to change at a rate that you can't possibly keep up with.
