Massive fines in New York if you refuse.

2 parts. Genetic disorder factor 5 Leiden. Not aa problem until a few years ago.

Also have an Autoimmune disorder. Had it since I was a teen. Made worse by my teenage love of mountain dew.

It’s a risk factor for clotting, and probably contributes. It also causes inflammation and neuropathy. It was was annoying and a slow but growing problem.

Then I got exposed to a LOT of natural gas from a mega rental company house.

Well dormant gene for factor 5 activated and I my blood went crazy. Lots of clots. Autoimmune also went nuts and decided that nervous system and various organs needed to die in a most painful way possible.

Took a few years to get it under control..ish. Covid has clearly made it worse.

Tried this. It gets obvious quick.

Sensitive people are on the lookout for being disrespected

Was nice not smelling the litter box for a month.

Had severe brain fog for a few years. Blood thinners gave me my mind back.

I have a blood clotting disease. Factor 5 Leiden. Basically destroyed my life once it activated.

I mostly had it under control with blood thinners. If I went off for a few days I would have issues, then a stroke. ( I hate side effects of Pradaxa)

Got covid. Sucked, but got over it. However now I can’t miss any pills. If I skip tonight’s, Tomorrow one side of my body will go numb. I get severe brain fog, Plus a host of other issues that take days to weeks to resolve. Same crap as before covid, but I have no margin for error now. Oh and now I piss blood, because blood thinners, yeah.

It is awkward, no question.

But I’m not the one trying to redefine reality.

Because I was not using a pronoun.

Because immediately afterwards public shaming follows. Managers pull you aside and give threatening talks.

Well I got a public lecture when I referred to some that had “no” gender by their name. Went downhill after that.

Lot a job over it. Did everything I could to be polite, but was not going to use weird terms. Never mind they were biggest bunch of bigots I’ve ever seen.

I learned the hard way that using a persons name instead of desired pronoun is a major offense.

It’s dangerous to complain about this stuff. Was at one place that routinely trashed white males, of which I happened to be. Caught hell when I tried to push back. Sadly this seems like it’s becoming the norm.

Did “profit” just get redefined?

Still used to the 90s when any Level of bypassing would get you labeled as a hacker, and people would demand you get fired or arrested.

Just knowing how things worked resulted in a number of people assuming I could hack banks, and either asking me too, or shunning me. Or flat out accusing me of it.

Umm you could go around mugging people much easier then I could hack stuff. That explanation never went over well.

Had to ask one boss to stop threatening employees to have me hack them. It was in jest, but I was terrified at how people would react if they thought I bypass security. Didn’t help that I knew how, as security was crap back then.

I leaned to keep my mouth shut, and refused to keep up with security stuff. Can’t hack if I don’t know how.

One of my children has oppositional defiant disorder. (Mom is same) Since she was a tiny baby should would oppose you just for the sake of it.

From 2-7. Let’s go to park/pool/etc. Instant meltdown. Horse farm probably the sole exception. Regardless she would have a blast on every outing.

Tried hours of calmness to angry rages and everything in between.

Generally 90 minutes of drama would be needed to before she wore out enough so we could go have fun. Bed time would leave everyone dripping in sweat.

We’ve reached the point we’re we just tell her to knock it off, then we ignore her until she decides to join in. This usually takes 5-15 minutes. Not playing into it is so far our best strategy.

Other day she wanted us to adopted a Goose. After being told no, she went to the Tent and proceeded to wail for awhile. She the proceeded to slowly move closer and closer to make sure we could hear her wailing. Eventually she went back to playing when she couldn’t get a response.

None of other children are like that. The mom clearly had same as a child and early adult.

So yeah? Parenting is hard.

So needed to something to correct? So you made obvious small issues?

Used to do this on mock-ups of apps I was building. They wouldn’t fuss at the core functionality if they changed something obvious and not important.

Oh I had forgotten about the going backwards ones! It was like the machine was personally taunting you.

Back in 90s the progress bar was so bad it was more entertainment.

5 minutes left, 4 minutes, 23 days, 1 minute, 4000 years left.

The last 1% Taking longer the first 99%

If you installed the same software repeatedly get an idea of how long each section of the bar would take.

Windows 3.1 I’m looking at you.

Correct. Right side body is numb, cold and weak. So I assume issue is left side of brain.

I can read and speak well enough. Thinking is harder, so I tend to stay quiet.

I get minor strokes every couple of months.

Each time I lose feeling in right side of body, and lose the ability to write. Not 100%, but close enough. Typing is fine however, if slow. Critical thinking goes to crap. Talking is fine. I can still draw, though my motivation goes to crap.

Is weird what stays and what goes.

Last time I looked writing is a left brain activity. Which controls right side.

Multi platforms decided to silence half the county. Your making light of it because some places tolerate small amount amount of opinion.

If the current trend continues we will have a chip the size of a plank unit with a 2020 level computing capacity the size of the Jupiter.

Chat applications will be even slower then today

How do the apples get into the bag?

Do they magically show up?

Or do they transition from not in the bag to in the bag in some unit?

What is the minimum possible unit of Apple change? Is it discrete or continuous?

Maybe a X plank units of apple transitions every second.

Quote by Abraham Lincoln: “Don't believe everything you read on the internet.”

Reproducibility.

Have others come in and follow the directions.

From the conversation, admittedly 20 years ago. Not documenting was highly intentional, and why I was being informed.

My dad was talking to an engineer at one of the major airlines manufactures apparently some critical part was foam injection or some such.

Anyway the process as such did not work as documented.

You had to add strings to the inside of the mold to get it to set correctly. This was not written down anywhere.

Part of it may have been job protection. The union was bad about that. New hires would not be able to complete the work.

Always stuck with me that at some point the ability to make that part would be los-tech.

Took an excel course while in college because it met a requirement.

I had a manager come up to me and show me his spreadsheet has spent a week building. (He was very proud)

I asked him why he didn’t use a pivot table and in a few seconds I had re-create it is exact report from the same source data.

I was involved in pretty much every high-level decision and a major corporation for several years there after because of that.

One example was being able to write native gems so that I integrate ruby directly with other C based services. Writing ruby code that directly interacts with mail servers, databases in a thread safe manor was quite useful.

Like learning assembly, sometimes it’s not directly useful, but it does make you write better code; since you understand more of what’s under the hood.
