Upvoting because what the fuck is that?!?

I had one at 46, and 12 years later I'm glad we did. That said, it is draining to keep up with him. I had to get my physical fitness shit together, and that helps. I also aim for 8h of sleep per night. (I didn't get that with a newborn, but I do now.)

I had that happen when I was running errands a couple of days ago. Barely made it home in time.

I have had a similar experience. Lost 40 lbs, and discovered that decades of weight lifting really had paid off. I also had a couple of moles removed from my face. Neither was for cosmetic reasons. (Actually, I guess the moles were. I went to a dermatologist for a skin cancer check as one should when over the age of 50, and asked if he could remove them while I was there. It took less than 10 minutes.)

I had a ton of work experience before this happened, but now people solicit my opinion. I also landed a new job that pays a lot more.

I won't go so far as to say that women fawn over me, but I find them to be as friendly and chatty as most men are now. (I'm happily married, so I don't go out of my way to flirt.)

Overall, I probably went from a 4 to a 6, but it's enough to notice a difference.

I definitely disagree. I just took my son to a protest last weekend. He is 12. I thought it was important for him to understand civic responsibility.

Yep. Detroit has this, too.

Brilliant. I will bet he find some way to get it removed, though.

TIL somebody besides my wife thought that Roy Orbison was blind.

I didn't write the above, but it might be recoil. For example, a 12 gauge kicks a lot more than a 5.56.

I try to separate the art from the artist. It reminds me a lot of the controversy surrounding Ryan Adams. What a brilliant songwriter.

Same here. The bodies in the trunk, and the person who was responsible really stuck with me.

I have found the opposite in rural Michigan (northern US). My wife's family has a vacation home, and skilled tradespeople are slightly cheaper around there. The place is more than an hour from any large towns, but 30 minutes from several small towns.

Maybe population is distributed differently here due to the way infrastructure is funded?

I have met one trans developer in the last 35 plus years, and I have worked at a lot of different places. I am based in the Midwestern US.

Is this more a European thing?

I was wondering what on earth the programmer socks memes were about. I guess there must be enough people somewhere to make this meme-worthy.

I came back here to say "It says right on their home page that it's open source." :-) I installed it & I'm running the importer now to see how well it handles large numbers of notes. Thanks much for the tip!

That is the one that I edited. You don't see the same thing I do? (Thanks again for following up, by the way!)

I edited my post - thank you!

Good point.

No but you got the city right. 🙂

Titties is spelled with two t's.

I have a similar experience, but even with people in southern Ohio and Kentucky (where a lot of my current co-workers are), there is the opposite of a conservative tech-bro trend.
