Alienation is a helluva drug

Sublime gang rise up 😭

Extortion, more like

I tried something like this for my office chair. It was fine as a seat, but it raised my overall position on the chair vs the backrest and i ended up throwing out my back from the resulting offset. So, mind the chair you intend to use it on.

Ban anything with FDA approval.

WROUNGG

But I am le’ tired.

Then take a nap, THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES

DEEP CUTS damn I flashbacked hard

As a web dev myself, I know the sheer amount of money that would have to go into monkey patching together all these disparate protocols and ancient APIs, plus the regulatory requirements, and that’s BEFORE worrying about consumer AND vendor adoption. The only reason to get into it is if the service is secondary to chasing a lucrative buyout before you get crushed by some multinational online retail cartel you never knew existed (but always suspected), or Google AEEs you.

Fintech blows.

If I’m being honest, the only thing stopping me from shopping at other sites is having to put my personal and payment details in yet another site for it to go stale, or fall out of my memory, or get leaked in the next big hack.

Some sites have “pay with Amazon” (more likely PayPal, but… ugh. I don’t remember why, but I hate it), but I’d love to see some universal adoption of some sort of payment and shipping details lockbox. Like SSO where you can revoke access to subscribers or something.

Yes, well, my spoon is too big.

Bullet points and parentheticals

I honestly thought your first photo was a still life study in oil paint.

This is me, so much. Both my parents, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents. After I got my diagnosis, it’s like all of a sudden my family’s whole history of immigrant trauma snapped into relief.

It’s that banality of evil thing

Served as “flat files” - filesystem, object store, what have you. No server logic generating content, just passing around of strings and binary data. Files are the representation are the source of truth. Counter to a web app, where the content response is ephemeral and the “source of truth” is scattered across a writeable DB and recombinated (potentially) on every request.

Interesting question though, I (a web dev) just take the term for granted.

Kongs are basically indestructible from what I’ve seen. We used to have a pittie with separation anxiety and a kong frozen full of peanut butter was good for hours.

Himalayan yak cheese/milk chew things - really durable, moreso than some of the bones we get. Our dog really isn’t into antlers, but my theory is that she likes the yak chews because they have an intrinsic flavor, and do actually wear down and give eventually. The only downside is that she likes to leave them in main walkways on light flooring, so I’m pretty sure I’m gonna die tripping over one, one day.

We also used to get chew rolls made from rawhide-alternative in bulk from Costco. They lasted a while, but we stopped getting them once we found the yak stuff, they get real gross.

Now do puhs

Works great for db:seed, too

If you’re in RoR land, there’s always the Faker gem to get you started. Or keep it simple - find lists of names on Wikipedia or something, shuffle and combine.
