IIRC, the windows version of this is a setting where you can hit CTRL and it makes a moderately large circle that contracts towards the pointer. It’s been in since at least W7/Vista, possibly XP. I’ve used it on and off for years (especially with 3 27" monitors) because of how easy it is to lose the cursor.

I know this is no stupid questions, but that is absolutely a stupid question.

The interesting part and the reason I always remember the story is that when the doctors washed her guts, they found a dead tapeworm. The bleach killed it. And the hospital staff gave it back to her in a jar haha. What a souvenir.

Uhhhh, doesn’t the digestive system break down and slough off in tapeworm like pieces? I remember the BtB episode on those crazy Church of Bleach fuckers, and that was one of the symptoms the children had after their parents forced them to drink small amounts of bleach over a time. Here’s an ABC article that comments that they claim it kills parasites, so I’m not convinced it was an actual tapeworm…

Sure, though it isn’t super exciting. The assistant store manager, Lucio (fuck you Lucio, you fucking piece of shit) was an illegal immigrant who managed to fake his way through the verification steps, and INS showed up one day and vanned him while I was away going to college.

I wasn’t sad to see that fucker go, because he had a number of Mexican kids that he let do whatever they wanted, including Edgar who sexually harassed multiple girls out of the store and Lucio wouldn’t do shit because “why would I fire him when we’re already losing one employee”. Never mind that wed already lost 4 girls at that point and one of them was pregnant at the time. I’m honestly surprised he and I never came to blows because I didn’t hide that I fucking hate him.

My manager didn’t honor the employee discount after I was gone, either.

They never do. I had a manager try that shit on me when I was working food service, and I turned it around on him and made him get one of his toadies to clean it up after talking a bunch about “not being trained for biohazard cleanup” and “OSHA regs” which got him to back down, and I told all my coworkers the same so they’d tell him to fuck off too.

Still wish I could have been there when the feds showed up and escorted him out of the building.

Oh fuck yes. Only problem is remembering to add/update events. And with three adhd af people working off of a shared calendar… Well, I’m just surprised we don’t double book more often.

See, this is where shit like Amdroid comes in handy. Among the challenge (dismiss your alarm) options, they have NFC and QR/barcode as options. So you can force yourself to not be lazy by creating a tag, barcode or QR code that lives next to the thing you need to do by having to scan your verification to be able to shut your phone up.

I don’t really have much advice on making you accountable to yourself, but the little things like this help force you to adult and not fuck up as much. Only thing that worked for me was to give myself a ton of anxiety so that overcoming my laziness/forgetfulness to prevent me from feeling the crippling anxiety from not getting shit done. 2/10, don’t recommend.

If you’re on Android, I
Amdroid is great. Combination alarm clock/countdown timer, let’s you save many different countdowns/alarms with names and alerting styles.

I use it all the time to make sure I don’t forget shit. Washer and dryer each have a countdown for the length they run, along with dishwasher for the same reason.

I also use LifeUp to gamify my task list to help ensure I (generally) remember to do my daily/weekly tasks.

Jumping a turnstile and taking a physical, actually scarce resource is not comparable to duplicating a digital, artificially scarce resource.

The train requires ongoing maintenance and can only hold a finite amount of people. Taking the train seat for free takes away something from another person. Downloading media does not use any ongoing resources, and does not take anything away from another consumer.

Comparing the morality of physical goods to digital goods are not really a good comparison specifically because of the artificial scarcity brought on by making something digital to try to make it more expensive doesn’t map to the real scarcity of physical goods.

Timers fucking everywhere my dude. If it weren’t for timers (on my phone, my watch, work/personal computers, etc) I’d forget to do all kinds of shit.

Why? That would entirely ruin the joke.

I’ve used gpt 3/3.5, bing, bard and copilot, and I’m not super stoked. Copilot gave me PS DSC items that don’t actually exist, which was my most recent attempt at using a LLM.

I might see about figuring out if it can hook into my vs code instance so it’s a bit smarter at some point.

and a bunch of it is code generation to test out how we need to modify our CS curriculum in light of these new tools.

I’m curious if you’ve gotten anything decent out of them. I’ve tried to use it for tech/code questions, and it’s been nothing but disappointment after disappointment. I’ve tried to use it to get help with new concepts, but it hallucinates like crazy and always give me bad results, some of the time it’s so bad that it gives me answers I’ve already told it we’re wrong.

Having a member state veto today is approaching being as ludicrous as if each US state had a veto on national legislation - it allows small countries with extremist governments (of which there is always likely to be one in office somewhere) to clog up the gears of the entire union.

I hate to tell you this, but that’s actually how our stupid Senate works. Each state sends 2 idiots to washington, and either one of those idiots can tank legislation with a fucking email.

I too have dreams of lots of pictures

I’m so glad my boss and team have a working knowledge of migraines, because it’s super nice to tell them I have to drop because of the pain or nausea from a migraine and they’re totally cool with it.

27?? My phone browser has 4x that alone…

Just because its useful once or twice a year doesn’t mean it isn’t crazy.

Are you talking epoch? I don’t care for that mainly because it’s not human readable. I see the use for it, but I struggle with it in practical use.

This, but all run together.

I write files/reports to disk a lot from scripts, so that’s my preferred format.
