I’m not a dev, but I do some scripting. Mostly in a windows environment professionally, linux for personal reasons.

That being said, AI is great for getting a bulk outline of a script done, and you just gotta tweak a few things.

You still have to know what you’re doing, but it expedites things.

In the US, you can get varying dosages based on a variety of commercial factors.

That being said, 1000mg a dose not to exceed 4000mg in a 24 hour periods is the standard… well, was, its been a while since I was a pharmacy tech.

I know, a problem that faces every single American, right?

Family Values… yeah, Trump values his families genitals. Look at his “relationship” with his daughter throughout the years.

In my southern portion of the US, I find it better to just let shit slide. Never know who is armed with two short cannons, a .38 snub, and the reason for their lifted truck that has never seen “off” roads.

Step one: Buy a few firearms, for different scenarios (which should be easier under Trump sigh)

Step two: Go to work, home, and limit unnecessary errands, order for delivery more.

Step three: Practice marksmanship with various firearms. I have a country, but sane, friend of the family with a shooting range on her land.

Step four: Hunker down in my deep red state, because I hold non-christian belief’s and I won’t recant them on pain of death. Not because my beliefs “protect” me, but because as an American, I believe in freedom of religion and I’ll die a proud American before I die as a Christian, my belief’s don’t matter compared to that. The protection of those belief’s does.

I get that old reference, but these days and much more broadly, twink is for a term for a gay man with a certain body type, or other physical characteristics.

So you might get some odd looks using that in public.

We have 8 animals and alcoholic relative living with us.

We went to the local library, I had ear buds and my laptop as was content to do my thing (cyber security stuff, all legal) and my wife was busy talking to the person running the 3D printer because she can’t seem to dial hers in settings wise.

The quiet, the lack of stress, the ability to just focus on something without dealing with an issue for a while…

It was fine until the relative… well, thats another story. They all end like that lately.

I hear things. I’m bipolar though.

I often have to check in with a person close to me to see if they heard what I heard, or if its my “imagination.”

For those worried, I’m under the care of a psychiatrist, and mostly this isn’t an issue anymore.

As an American, fuck yes, absolutely, 100%.

As a Texan, fuck yes, absolutely, 1000%.

The wife and I are already considering leaving the state. Prices for everything are rising to ridiculous levels.

An apartment I could have afforded on my own a decade ago would require three incomes, and the neighborhoods are no less violent and crime ridden. Food deserts, lack of health care options, lack of gainful employment in that geographic area, all deterrents to paying more than I do now for a mortgage.

If I thought I had the skills and wherewithal to strike out and homestead I would. Alas, I do not.

I long to leave “the grid,” but require medication to function as a normal human being. As such, I am beholden to the system. I must cooperate against my better interest to attain medication to live. I am, for lack of a better term, a slave to it.

Before anyone comes in calling a race card play, or any other shit, I am a cis het white male. In theory, I am the problem, and yet I suffer the same.

I decided at the age of seven that life, as we know it, was not worth living. 30 some odd years later, that has not changed.

I like that, I really do.

Batman is a genius, in several realms, but as a tactician? MAN… With time to prepare, including ramming through scientific processes with just fucking CASH, he can probably could take on anyone.

Surprise The Bat? Man, he’s fucking solid… Melee combatant, strategist, understanding of a WIDE field of practices, he is fucking GOOD.

That being said, he is a MAN. Just a human being. GREAT training, GREAT tech, GREAT strategy… but still, something alien to his understanding (not necessarily extra terrestrial in origin) and he gets fucked.

That being said, Batman exemplifies the powers of the human MIND. If we can assess it, HUMANITY can provide a short term solution. Long term, we can fuck ourselves. Short term though? We can kill God, gods, etc.

Batman represents humanity, as a mental construct, at its peak. We can take in, digest, and provide useful solutions to solve a problem. Again, short term. We rarely plan past a generation or two.

I played the original, and the Sierra expansion too. I had the strategy guide with some full page artwork… Lets just say the original Rogue concept art was scandalous in middle school.

They lost me with three, in the art style… I picked up four to play with a friend, but even their company couldn’t keep me playing the drek that is Diablo 4.

I’m currently off my bipolar meds, against my will. Insurance change required a doctor change, and finding anyone who was available within a months time was not possible.

I need shit to get back to “normal” in my brain. I’m not doing well. I wasn’t before, but yeah…

Only a couple more days until my appointment. I had one last week, and they sent me to the wrong place, coupled with a whole slew of other issues, and I said fuck em. Thankfully found someone the second time around pretty quickly.

Anecdotally, I had a blockage I thankfully passed without medical intervention… but it was a long terrible night.

There was a lot of gas built up behind the blockage, and it hurt. Like, a broken bone would have preferable, and yes I have had broken bones.

Over the course of hours, I could FEEL the blockage slowly moving its way out, accompanied with great pain every time.

When I finally passed it, it was similar to a musket round being fired, with a long loose butthole fart for at least a solid minute.

The relief was immense. Second most relief I’ve ever felt.

First was an ear infection behind a total blockage of ear wax. The pressure was insane. Second we just went over. For perspective, the third was receiving IV morphine in the hospital slightly before emergency surgery.

If you find novel use of language fun, I’d recommend the Cocteau Twins.

It’s English, but the words aren’t used for their meaning. More for tonality and cadence.

It’s not something I’d put on normally, and I don’t really listen to them much, but I found it interesting enough.

Don’t work in medical IT.

It has been literally life and death before.

Don’t forget the long winded tales of how their distant relative they never met gave them the recipe from the “old country” or some shit.

Dude, I just needed to see what temperature to set the oven to.

It’s not a fortunate power, but time stops for everyone and everything until you are doing something that’s even slightly productive.

The cosmic burden of knowing that all of time relies on you getting off the couch, grabbing a shower, and getting done whatever tedious chore you’ve been putting off. Constantly.

Not a boon, but a curse.

Social engineering, arguably, is one of the harder things to learn.

It’s a collection of soft skills, and if you’ve been paying attention to rank and file tech jobs, places are looking for people with soft skills because they’re so impractical to train.

This goes down to your basic help desk tech.

Anyone with an interest in computers can sit down and learn how to analyze and exploit weakness in code. In fact, it’s a fun puzzle. Dealing with other people, let alone establishing oneself as another person and fucking SELLING that character enough to get what you need?

People write off social engineering far too quickly. It’s quick, it’s effective, and if done well, the person you exploited doesn’t even realize they’ve been tricked.

Yep. I go further left as the years go on, but I’m still pro 2A, though not to the same extent as a lot of republicans.

Should there be controls in place for acquiring and carrying a device that’s only purpose is taking a life? Yep. Absolutely. Especially as you move towards self defense type weapons over tools for sustenance hunting.

That being said, I have no idea how to codify those types of restrictions that maintains the spirit of 2A, while at the same time reducing the vast amount firearm deaths in the US.

There has to be some sort of balance, but I’m not the person to figure it out. Even if I had the gravitas to make changes like that, I don’t have the capabilities to properly handle something like that.

You didn’t clean them weekly?

Man I did, but they were hockey skates (ice was not a thing here at the time) and I wanted to get every ounce of performance out of them.

Cleaning bearings, rotating wheels, relacing them cause my feet grew crazy for a while.

I was a weird kid though. Now I’m just a weird adult.
