I try to have 3 places in mind for a change of scenery, and if there’s something going on at at least one spot, that can take the pressure off of talking. i try to sit next to the person, like at a bar top, instead of across because that just feels like a job interview or something.

aside from that, engaging conversation. Probe for interest and if they reciprocate, then you can go a bit further until they don’t or you’re making out.

funny thing though, I started planning some of my outings with friends like I was doing a date. Instead of just going to the bar and “yyyyup”-ing for a couple hours, I try to find a shoe or something going on and then change locations to something else interesting. By the end my buds are commenting about how much fun they had.

so plan the date around interesting things or environments, or just something going on or something to look at. Then just have fun and relax.

Also, I read something from one of the old dating sites where they said that a sushi date is 27% more likely to get a second date. All of my sushi dates have gotten second dates.

i grew up in church, this is part of the curriculum

Luna oi is a Vietnamese YouTuber who does a good job at explaining these definitions. This video is about dialectical and historical materialism, but she explains the base and superstructure pretty well. https://youtu.be/HAEgTPK-oiU

This hasn’t been implemented yet, right?

I really loved this read. thank you for sharing!

this was a fun read! I haven’t done much web UI in years, so it was nice to learn about some of the new, nice things that are available. i don’t think I’d remember some of the more advanced stuff though.

omg i never picked up on that

I totally didn’t use Apple’s permission system to disable (not crowd strike, something similar) because it was breaking everything. In my hypothetical defense, everyone said that rollout was a disaster.

dynamic SQL. I remember those days. I once got criticized by colleagues for “breaking” a dynamic SQL search query - you know the one - because I realized that it wasn’t building most of the query. I have no idea how it worked, but I made it put out actually valid SQL and it took forever. I forget if we rolled that back. We were using MS TFS, so probably not haha

He did also notice that the planets didn’t move quite exactly as he predicted and said “well, God must keep them in place”

I think it’s worth a shot. If it doesn’t work out, you can go back

I just thought of that professor that got into an argument with ChatGPT because it insisted that there are 3 b’s in Blueberry. Claude handled it a lot better, so no easy gotchas there. But at least AIs tend to be quite verbose. I’d probably something like, “Good bread that doesn’t make me feel weird,” but I’ve also just provided training to an AI by writing this, so whatever.

I can count the letter 'b' in the word "Blueberry" for you.  
Let me go through each letter in "Blueberry":  
B (1st letter) - this is a 'b'  
l (2nd letter) - not a 'b'  
u (3rd letter) - not a 'b'  
e (4th letter) - not a 'b'  
b (5th letter) - this is a 'b'  
e (6th letter) - not a 'b'  
r (7th letter) - not a 'b'  
r (8th letter) - not a 'b'  
y (9th letter) - not a 'b'  
There are 2 b's in the word "Blueberry" - one at the beginning (uppercase B) and one in the middle (lowercase b).  

You can find that in the ancient artifacts museum, right?

oh that’s a shame :(

there is the fb Lite app, which is mainly for places without good Internet. That one is supposed to not do the same kind of tracking as the main app, at least when it’s closed. I can’t say the same for messenger though

I recently switched my home to using cloudaflare tunnels from dns because the ISP blocked traffic. my services are exposed to the Internet, so if you only want access by vpn, I’ve found tailscale to be easier than wireguard. If you want external access, you can get a domain name from CF and set up cloudflared on the host device and target the docker service names. But with both ways, you can have your ports not exposed to the Internet.

I formerly used external DNS until the ISP blocked the modem.
