What’s the worst date you’ve ever had, and why was it so awful?
  • You don't go into it looking to find a loneliness cure, you go into it looking to make a new friend. Maybe that friend can be more, but maybe not. The worst case scenario is the same as not trying, a decent outcome is a new friend (which can lead to expanding your pool of datable people!), and maybe you find a partner along the way.

    I've been married for about a decade now, what I miss most about the dating scene is all the new friends I'd make and experiences I'd have.

  • New terminal apps: Warp and Wave
  • By default, sharing a sudo password between PTY sessions is not allowed by your operating system. This can be a frustration when using Waveterm because every command is treated as a separate PTY session. To get around this, Waveterm will cache your sudo password in local memory (not written to disk) and share it with a session when provided.

    Holy crap, no thanks. That's legit awful.

  • ‘Right to Repair for Your Body’: The Rise of DIY, Pirated Medicine
  • Insurance is absolutely, unambiguously, the worst. I had a stress echocardiogram denied by insurance yesterday because they don't think I need it. A test to try to identify a problem, what's my alternative? Wait to see if I drop dead? I guess in that sense I don't need it but c'mon. And I'm on one of the "good" plans.

    It seems like "deny everything and we'll save money on the people that can't/won't fight the denial" is actually common practice now.

    I hope their actuaries get to experience the bullshit and have time to regret their contributions to human suffering.

  • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?
  • Bah, undocumented is my modus operandi. Uncredited is unforgivable. Ill absolutely throw together a ticket and add it to the sprint after I've fixed an interesting problem that kept me from working on the boring ticket that's been in my backlog for three sprints. _

  • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?
  • Depends entirely on the self checkout system in use. My local Kroger has a system that's absolutely awful to use. Seconds between placing an item in the baking area and the register acknowledging it, and if you scan another item before it's weighed and acknowledged it'll yell at you. A few times of that and an associate has to come by and unlock it.

    Most of the ones I've used at Walmart will handle me scanning and bagging as fast as I want for the most part.
