For a moment I thought it has been forked again.

Ah, yes, of course, because kids are usually bullied for a good reason.

No one hangs out with the mean kids and the nice and sensitive ones are universally liked. What a beautiful world we live in.

Yeah, it's both funny and terrifying how cubicles were a symbol of a dystopia, and now, with open space offices, people would kill for the cubicles.

curl is obviously fantastic but for more complex ad-hoc requests I usually prefer httpie.

Most ebooks I bought recently come with a warning that the buyer's data is embedded in the file to deter from sharing it online. TBF it cannot be hard to remove it but I didn't bother to check how it's implemented.

As a dev, I can feel how much easier to work with the codebase must be after migrating from scattered raw SQL queries to ORM. In my job I have a project with a similar problem and the transition is slowly going on for years at this point, still not close to being finished.

Yeah, I get what you mean about proportions and I agree with everything you say. I just didn't do a very good job of precisely explaining my thoughts in the original comment.

I have zero doubts about surveillance cameras being able to estimate person's height.

Obviously, you can use statistics to get a very close approximation. What I meant is that you can't calculate her height using purely geometry because you don't see her whole body. And the 1% error margin suggests a very precise calculation, not a statistical approximation.

You assume standard human anatomical proportions

If you do that, then it's pretty much just guessing, isn't it? You could also just look up an average height for a woman in her country and (by definition) you would have a big chance of not being too far off. And you're definitely not getting within 1% error margin with that method.

It's the opposite for me.

Right, I guess it's possible. No idea because I haven't visited Xitter in years.

I had septoplasty 3 years ago and they gave me only local anesthesia - meaning I was conscious during the procedure. Well, they also gave me something which made me pretty high to the point that I was actually chatting with the surgeon during the procedure. I know this sounds bad but it was quite okay actually. The staff were all very nice, they talked to me explaining what's happening the entire time which was very calming and creating trust. I didn't feel any pain, just... touch / pressure I guess?

After the procedure they stuffed my nose with tampons made of gauze wrapped in some kind of rubber. I had to keep this for 2 days. This was the worst part because I had to breathe through my mouth and also they stuffed it really deep and tight which made it pretty uncomfortable. I just read books and watched YouTube the whole time to distract myself. It was not fun but definitely manageable.

After they took out the tampons I was released to home and I got 2 weeks of sick leave. Honestly, I would do it again just for those 2 weeks.

I say, don't overthink it. If you expect pain, you will probably feel it. Try to trust the doctors and the process. They really know what they're doing.

How could you calculate her height from the photo without her whole body being visible? You can't just "scale" it using the phone as a reference because there is no measurement to scale. Am I missing something or is this bullshit?

I think Linkwarden is fantastic but should be described and advertised more as internet archiving software than a bookmark manager. It really should be obvious to anyone that it's downloading the webpages, not just saving links. I

They read it as un-derfed, like un-lucky, and thus they wondered what "derfed" means. For whatever reason my brain read it the same. But in context I read it correctly. I'm not a native English speaker but it's definitely not the first time I'm encountering this word.

I had no idea what this word is supposed to mean after the first mention. But when reading it in context it immediately clicked.

Thanks for this info, I had no idea. To be frank I can't really wrap my head around the fact that you can be sexually aroused without actually wanting sex.

That's what I would expect. Although I'm comparing myself to my similarly aged friends, and let me tell you, their chase of sex is not slowing down.

Nice! In this case I wouldn't give sex a second thought. Don't let the society pressure you into seeing it as so important! Wish you all the best!

I had two phases in my life so far. When I was a teenager and later in relationship I was pretty sexually active. After ending this relationship I needed a lot of time to come to terms with everything and I didn't want any relationships whatsoever so I just stopped having sex. After a few months I just kinda forgot about it? At this point I didn't have sex for like 6 years, I very rarely get horny and I do NOT want to go back. Yes, sex is fun, but man, being horny can be so fucking tiring. It can occupy your mind for hours, making it hard to focus on work, studying or anything else. It's kinda like a drug to be honest.

Asexuality doesn't sound bad at all to me. Well, I guess it doesn't make relationships easier so it's obviously a tradeoff...
