That "sizing up" thing is one of the dumbest urban legends around. Most Pythons are ambush predators - they sit in the grass, wait for prey to scuttle by and strike. They literally don't have any inherent instinct to wait with eating something. Because in the wild, "sizing up" prey just wouldn't work. The prey would be long gone if the snake waited that long.
I was recently debugging something with the Junior on my team and told him to install Bruno to make a few API calls. He installed it, but then couldn't find an icon for the Program anywhere (and obviously the Win11 Search bar was only delivering useless results). So I told him to just type "bruno" into his terminal and see what happens. It actually opened the program! I have never felt this smart before!
I think you're joking, but Love is Blind was a fascinating watch for my partner and me. Mostly because we're both kind of on the spectrum and the people on the show acted so weird and unrelatable that we spent a lot of time discussing and theorizing on each episode. It was like watching a fantasy show and trying to figure out the rules of the magic system.
I recently overheard a conversation at work where a colleague from another team was asking a manager-ish guy whether she could get a wordpress license for a small internal static web page she wanted to whip up really quick. The response was "Why wordpress? We have so many React developers!" which, as one of the React developers in question, just made me want to give up on the whole IT career thing and live in the forest instead
The starbucks in my area used to sell the mugs that they also used in-store. They were gigantic (like 700ml?), completely white ceramic with a very subtle logo and only cost 10€ each. They're also extremely dishwasher proof because they were made to be washed like a dozen times a day. After like 6 or 7 years of use (we got them pre-covid), they still look like new and I regret only buying 2 of them at the time.
Ironically, I haven't actually ever bought a drink at starbucks. I only bought the mugs because I saw them while picking up a Too Good To Go order there one time
Makes me curious - are there some sort of specific winter tires for bikes? I've been riding mine around with its regular tires fine enough, but I do stay on the plowed parts of the roads. Would be cool if I could just drive through the actual snow
Man Sertraline used to fuck me up pretty bad. Like crying every day and not doing anything else. My doctor still insisted on dosing me up to 150mg. Quitting it was awful too, I was nauseous for a week straight.Nowadays I'm much better on Adderall and a Beta Blocker to keep my heart rate in check
I lost an earpod to that mood before. I felt it fall out of my pocket but I was so done that I never stopped to pick it up. That kinda sucked, in hindsight.
I like my regular Switch (because it's jailbroken and I haven't ever paid Nintendo for any game on it) but I see no reason to ever get a Switch 2 when the Steam Deck exists.
My first Redbull was on a class trip in 5th grade that involved an overnight bus drive, so I had it because it's supposed to make you stay awake. Well it made me zonk out immediately and sleep through the entire rest of the bus ride (Diagnosed and medicated for adhd nowadays dw)
