What I find interesting is that RobhinHood has removed GME, AMC, BB, and other WSB darlings. This immediately caused massive drops before market opening. Why does this read poorly to me? I don't do much trading on RH, but I had been using it to monitor the prices as I passively follow this saga. People are upset, and I get it.

I have had house centipedes everywhere I’ve lived. I prefer them to almost any bug. They are very useful for pest control. Similar diet to spiders as I understand it, and I find them much less “frightening”. My deal with them is they need to stay out of my bed. They have had no issue with that...However, my wife’s rule is they have to stay out of her sight. she generally falls asleep on the earlier side. Especially now that we have children. This keeps the centipedes safe and the pest numbers low.

I wore very little of my winter clothes last year. We had a baby and I was only back to work for a few weeks before I started working from home. I think my son wears more outfits than my wife and I combined durning a normal week. Have you found you had more to give away this year?

I first herd Einstein on the Beach after a particularly manic period in undergrad. My advisor wasn't familiar with it, and I may have spooked her a bit try to explain it. I think to this day its great background music for programming work, but to me more because it can illicit that sense of young focus and drive that I find increasingly fleeting. Perhaps not unlike how music can "wake up" dementia patients. It elicits a deep base response.

Anyhow, I didn't know that either about his life. Very fascinating.

As an aside I believe I discovered Einstein on the Beach after listening to Hydrogen Jukebox. I wonder how others come about listening to it for the first time. Especially those in their 30s like myself who were born a decade after its success.

I would be happy to supply further information via email. I'd send an email, but not sure where to (profile emails are not visible to other users. :)

I spent the last half of my 20s and the beginning of my 30s living in a carriage house of an old Tudor revival mansion in New England. The building itself was purchased in the 60s and used as a research institute. Loosely affiliated with the large university in town.

I worked at there as a software engineer by day, and took care of the property the rest of the time. There was no shortage of projects. My girlfriend moved in with me eventually. We returned there after our honeymoon, and our son was most likely conceived there. I miss it often.

I still work there, but covid has kept us away. This article reminds me of that time in my life. Thanks for sharing.

It’s a very “academic” thing to do. Cite yourself as often as you can.

Having a child has provided me the easiest and best reason to switch off. I know its not the right choice for everyone, but it sure has worked for us.

A year out from our wedding date I sent my wife a link to a website I made her. It was small, but it explained that each day it would contain a new reason why I loved her. Early in our relationship my wife gave me a print out with 365 reasons why she loves me. So I took my inspiration from that list.

I think a death figure might be underwhelming for some. Looking at deaths and/or cases per-capita might be more telling.

My memory tells me it was both. With libraries closed they were not able to provide adequate access to those with disabilities.

anecdotally one of the few things I remember about my maternal grandmother was that she implored us to take care of our teeth, and that she died of colon cancer :(

Wonder if she was on to something?

And groovy, and surely more that I’m not remembering

Didn’t they have a reverse split a couple quarters back?

We also bought a house last year. We have said how lucky we are. How we would be so miserable if we were still in the small apartment. We also had worked from Home one or two days a week prior. Having a designated work space definitely helped.

We are also homebodies

I feel a touch of shame considering the tenor of this thread, but amazing. I just said to my wife I don’t want to go back. And I have a pretty spacious private office.

We had our first child on Halloween and we both had only returned to work for a month before being forced to wfh. We both still are. It’s great watching my son every day grow. My wife’s job leaves her twiddling her thumbs a lot so she gets to spend a lot of time with our son. She does not understand the amount of focus necessary for my job as a SE. but we have never been happier and more sleep deprived.

I could imagine if we were out of work or had older children I’d be singing a different tune.

No, but in 2002/3 we would play Quake during our CCNA classes every now and again instead of class work. The hardware was old so it was the original quake.

I played a lot of MOHAA[0].

It has been years since I gamed regularly but my brother and I were probably some of the best at a particular FPS. It has to be about 15+ years ago. When we played in the physical presence of others we noticed that we were some of the only ones to turn the display settings way down while keeping resolution the maximum. Probably 800x600 or 1280x1024 in those days. The game ran smoother, and the less complex textures made movement standout.

Thanks for the answer. That appears to be a logical answer.

how does this jive with

> I'm opting for...and real estate (with nice fixed-rate mortgage debt to purchase)

Honestly, I don't have a finical background. But isn't a mortgage just buying debt that is slowly paid off. I don't think real estate is a terrible strategy, but it does not always raise in value. 2008 was a reminder of that for a lot of people.

fair enough. It is an innovative idea.

The problem I have with the 40 mile range is that is highly dependent on

1. temperature. Extreme cold lowers range 2. topography. Inclines can drain a battery quickly. Declines can add range. 3. driving style. Do you have a lead foot? 4. Driving type. Are you on a highway?

I have been doing the same thing for awhile. It allows me to access all the services we have set up on the intranet in the office. With Tmux I move around from machine to machine and keep all the work stuff in the office.

The office is also a large university. Therefore, I have access to many additional library and other subscription services.

It’s great as a lot of the office struggled to get a work setup in place. I’m happily the only one who didn’t need Gotomypc. It also helped me save time durning this transition by not having to answer my less technical coworkers questions about getting Gotomypc set up.

This makes me cringe. I may have been 12 but I was making websites in 1998. And they were decent--I mean, it was a lot of right click > view source copying. But I fell in love with the Web Standards movement. I was probably the only 13 year old whose book shelf included books on perl, css, xml, and the like.

This guy posted in a thread here a few months ago about side hustles. I was tempted to start my own off of this model. It appears it’s not as easy to get started, and with a new baby I’ve been too distracted. But at the same time with a new baby it’s more tempting for the extra cash.

Are these an internal thing for your organization? is it Just joining a mailing list for X language? Or is there some aggregation service you could share?

I, admittedly don't know enough about VPNs. But could I just ssh tunnel to an ec2 instance and browse the web with a sox proxy?

From the cultivated crops the Tarahumaras prepare the following foods: Pinole, finely ground corn meal, is the most common. The meal is mixed with water and the mixture is drunk. A trait shared by many tribes of northern Mexico and the American Southwest, pinole is an ideal preparation for the highly mobile Tarahumara who carries, in a pouch slung under his arm, enough pinole to last him as much as a week while he is on the trail. Esquiate is similar to pinole but is prepared slightly differently, and, not being a dry meal like pinole, is not as transportable. It too is mixed with water and drunk. It is consumed as commonly as pinole and with this latter constitutes probably 75% of the Tarahumara?s diet. Other corn preparations, used less frequently, are atole (gruel), roasting ears, tortillas, tamales, and the cornflower.

As a Ginsberg related aside I often think his poem "I Am a Victim of Telephone" could be refreshed as a comment on modern life.

    [...]How are you dear can you come to Easthampton we're all here bathing in  the ocean we're all so lonely

    and I lie back on my palette contemplating $50 phone bill, broke, drowsy,

       anxious, my heart fearful of the fingers dialing, the deaths, the  singing of telephone bells

    ringing at dawn ringing all afternoon ringing up midnight ringing now

       forever.
