My dad and I both think apple has been best bang for the buck. I've let that one lapse, but I've enjoyed their originals.

I still pay for it because they haven't cracked down on sharing. It's why o still have Hulu too.

If that goes, then so does my sub.

I'm in that boat now 😭

Except I built the app from the ground up and I was super proud of it. I learned so much about PKI and S3 and made a better system for our suppliers, engineers, and customers.

The fatal flaw was that changing supplier workflows was a complete non starter. It didn't matter that I reduced the complexity of supplier involvement and made it easier for them to work with us, the old supplier portal HAD to be their front end, which has no api to interact with (one of the drivers for this project).

Without the direct supplier pipeline, the tool is worse than useless. Now we need a manual process to receive, validate, and sign software before moving it to the new system. Then to deliver it requires another manual process in reverse.

I made everyone involved life worse.

Oh no my cilantro aversion

Guys it's a bit, he's doing a bit. Calm down.

I think they mean "looting."

I've learned a bit about trans life and issues from boards like these. The problem is that people assume that you know everything, and making a bad assumption is a personal attack.

So learning about trans issues is this annoying game of: put my foot in my mouth, get piled on by a bunch of pissed off internet commenters, try to engage so I can learn something, wade through the vitriol to find the one or two people not putting words in my mouth, learn a new thing.

It's exhausting and makes me not want to try most of the time.

Worked out ok for me

Damn poor guy. I'll put 20 bucks on his books for Ramen. Dudes a true patriot.

I was 21 when I joined up. Got my batchelors, saw the world, met some people, did some things. Now I'm settled where I want doing the career I want. I credit the navy with a lot of the growing up/maturing I did.

You could join the AirForce. Get a degree or two out of it and get to travel some. 4 years isn't a terrible commitment. I'd avoid the navy, army, or Marines tho, unless you also want to aim for medical disability lol

From the State Department:

Which part of "Condemming Russia's Illegal Attempts to Annex Ukrainian Territory" is ambiguous?

Honestly, my heart goes out to the kid. I had some very "weird" (read: abusive) parents growing up, and I suppose that was about the age I figured it out.

Mine would make up medical problems and constantly pull me out of class and lied to me about not having a middle name for years and years before we went to live with my older brother at 16 (little bro came too, he was 14).

Circa 2004ish I tried to reach out to my HS counselor about being bullied. She offered to do mediation between me and the bully, that made things much worse.

That's pretty neat

Bye bye influenza B/Yamagata

What? Does the aid received from the US and EU not count?

$2.1B from the US alone since 2022 plus sanctions on Russia and Belarus.

Edit, since folks can't Google:

Pretty clear recognition to me. In fact 143 nations voted to condemn Russia calling what they did "illegal".

Woah, no one here said anything about bullying being good for the kid. The article doest even mention the reason for the bullying, but it claims that the school didn't do enough/anything to address it.

My surprise came from a 3rd grader self-identifying as "non-binary". I've never heard that term come from a child, only ever from adults and in academic settings.

I think it feels creepy to me because I have 30+ years of brain wires telling me that sex and gender are the same thing. I know they are not, but my brain doesn't.

Wow before school ? I never would have guessed.

What social situations are kids put in that make them confront the question of their gender? Is it mostly like marketing and toys and stuff? Or more like family/social pressure to conform to "roles" (baseball v ballet)?

Just seems so odd for a kid to have to think about gender in general, I'm trying to imagine non-creepy situations where it would come up lol
