Hmm, I have a taste that I associate with pain, but I don’t think it’s seafood. I don’t eat a lot of seafood though, doesn’t suit well with me.

I understood that reference!

That was super cool.

The customer initiated the transaction under the conditions that currently exist.

I feel like that’s what the percentage was meant to approximate. Because more people in a party are likely to have a larger bill and will definitely be more work. Of course there are more variables and one constant percentage won’t always result in the same reasonable wage for their work.

I never get these things where people are like “ah ha, we outsmarted the company by using an undocumented* feature they provide!” But like, they control the feature and they know it exists, you’re not getting away with something.

* or sometimes even documented

Oh. That explains the earthquakes.

I like how incredibly wholesome your comment is.

Also I agree. I hadn’t thought about either of those things but I like the perspectives.

Schizophrenic

Except that’s not what “backed by” means. It consumes energy. You can never exchange cryptocurrency to get the energy that it consumed back.

I’m fairly certain that the evil twin is the one on this side, that’s what’s really disconcerting.

Honestly, why? We’ve got billions of people driving around in cars they don’t know how to build. Is that a problem too?

That would tend to suggest that it would also do alright in compost doesn’t it?

My kids don’t even buy band shirts, but I will 100% subject them to important music whenever it comes up and I realize they don’t know it yet.

Recently, Bohemian Rhapsody came on and my son knew it and said it was a good song, so apparently I’m a pretty good father.

I love this so much

I got a bunch of different kinds of boxer briefs a few years ago, and I learned from that experience that there is a WIDE variety of quality and fit in this category. They really shouldn’t chafe or let your balls stick to your thigh, if they do I’d highly recommend trying a different brand or fit or whatever.

One use case is if you’re running a web server that is configured to return a “maintenance” page instead of the live site if a particular file exists. Which is actually pretty cool because then you don’t have to update the config when you need to do something or let your users get a bunch of 502 errors, you just touch maintenance and you’re good.

For me it was growing up with religious fanatic parents who taught us to interpret the “wrong” emotions as moral failings.

I don’t know where you’re at in your life. Maybe you do need to learn to control your emotions more. But also consider learning to accept your emotions, learn what they are telling you, and find a healthy way to process them.

And if you have people in your life who can’t deal with you having emotions, you may need to evaluate that as well.

And we only got that because of government action, forcing Ma Bell to allow folks to use their own equipment.

A few months ago I was doing dishes and for some reason thought about my age and I literally couldn’t remember if I’d hit 50 yet. Had to do the math to remember I’m 45 and that’s quite a ways off. That’s an outlier for sure, but yeah I forget.

It just doesn’t come up often. There are fewer ands fewer markers. Before your 20s you’ve got hitting double digits, becoming a teenager, sweet 16, becoming an “adult”, then not being a teenager any more. In your 20s you’ve got becoming an adult again (and maybe being able to drink if 21 is your drinking age), and then maybe saving money on insurance at 25 if that even matters to you. Then nothing. You might demarcate 30, but nothing really changes. In many senses now it’s “just a number” and the individual increments fail to matter. There’s no differential reinforcement to remembering where you are on the number line.
