The problem is readers where English isn’t their primary language.

Eating that cost me 3 kidney stones, but it was worth it.

It’d be wonderful to see them struggle to get their yachts/houses covered by insurance…

I posted a tad about costs with my son undergoing cancer treatment:

It’s an unnecessary folder if you’re running 64-bit.

It’s not real.

Add my stories to your list.

My 3 yo son got diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma and had surgery to remove a chunk of his spinal cord (that’s where the tumor was). He finished his first round of chemo and was scheduled to do some in-patient PT at a facility 0.2 miles away from the hospital he was in.

• Ambulance ride duration: 30s
• Ambulance cost: $6000
• Insurance coverage: $500

I straight up said “send it to collections. I don’t care. My son has cancer.” They fought for 6 months before going down to $250. I gave in.

Another: There’s a medication you take to cause your marrow to produce white blood cells quickly (the downside is that your bones feel like your burning—at least that’s how my son described it at 3 years old). This medication saves money in the long term since it means fewer ER visits for a cancer patient.

Coverage denied. Every. Time. Appealed every time, and got it covered. I probably spent close to 20 hours on calls & on hold just to get it covered for each treatment (~50 weeks I think?).

I make decent money (by my area’s standards) have very good insurance through my work, too. Despite all that, I had to dip into retirement & college funds to pay for various treatment. Hit out of pocket maximum every time and they always find something to deny.

It was fucking exhausting. Still is with ongoing issues and regular scans. He’s clear (so far) but man, fuck paid health insurance.

There is no way the virus functioned. Seriously. The guy had no tech background.

WMI was introduced in XP (I think? Was it later?) and asking WMI for the version string was pretty common.

The reason there isn’t a Windows 9 is because there was a common test for windows versions that went something like this:

std::string winVer = getWinVerStr();
if (winVer.find(“Windows 9”) != -1)
{
    // This is windows 95 or 98
}

A good chunk of older programs would likely have issues.

It makes more sense when I dug into it more deeply, but still—gave me a chuckle.

This is unrelated to this topic exactly, but I don’t know what OpenTofu is nor what it is for, so I looked at the FAQ.

What is OpenTofu?

OpenTofu is a Terraform fork, created as an initiative of Gruntwork, Spacelift, Harness, Env0, Scalr, and others, in response to HashiCorp’s switch from an open-source license to the BUSL. The initiative has many supporters, all of whom are listed here.

This is practically a meme…I have no idea what all of these are (coming from my area of expertise).

Yes, but the insinuation is that he’s using war powers to permanently institute himself in charge using only his powers, which isn’t the case. Effectively I’m countering the “he’s a dictator” undertone.

That’s not true. One pro-russian co-founder of the biggest opposition party was expelled and they publicly condemned Putin’s invasion. Zelinski still banned the party.

Okay. I’ll bite. Which party?

All of those opposition parties banned have explicitly been in favor of Russia annexing Ukraine. Literally every one.

Not only that, you make it sound like he did this by himself. There has been a ton of parliamentary agreement and has also been upheld in numerous appeals (incl by judges not having any associations with Zelensky).

I’m by no means a “Zelensky-stan” and have my own criticisms, but either you are seriously being misled or are being malicious/spreading misinformation.

Not only that, Ukraine runs a parliamentary government. There is no “opposition party”. Americans for some reason always view foreign government political parties through the lens of American politics. This is not like the government banning Republicans. This is like banning the “Socialists for the release of Alaska to Russia” party.

You are not alone in this.

Prior to discord I’d get maybe a bug report/month. After, about 1/day.

Simply put, the barrier to entry is huge.

However, documentation on Discord (other than simple end-user instructions/links to git readmes) is sort of stupid.

That’s not really feasible. School buses is one obvious reason (among many others).

You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.

Late response: Yes. You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.

So people are aware: If you are handicapped, you CAN park in the striped lines. In many cases, it’s the only feasible option for that person to safely exit.

For example: If directly to the left of the spot is a wall and your vehicles’ automated ramp deploys to the left, they have to park in the stripes.

Adding insult to injury in this case, it’s possible the handicapped person can’t enter their fucking car.
