  • I started that like 10 years ago, unfortunately I have a funky shaped head so it doesn’t look as good as it may on others but I do enjoy the maintenance on it. I can definitely tell these days it won’t grow back like it used to (much thinner on the top, edging back on the top sides). However being able to use a hair trimmer once a week myself is cheap, and less things to do while getting ready in the morning.

    I can understand since society seems to put value on hair but not worrying about it (some confidence) goes a long way. I barely think about it nowadays.

    Not if the place doesn’t do daylight savings time, and not all places in a timezone will do that (least in North America) so you need extra code if they do or do not. It becomes a pain after awhile when you do it in multiple projects. Technically one extra setting but it’s still a pain to make sure it’s handle properly in all cases, especially when the previous programmer decided to handle it for each case individually, but that’s a different issue.

    Also when you deal with the times, say in .Net you gotta make sure it’s the proper kind of date otherwise it decides it’s a local system date and will change it to system local when run. Sure it’s all handled but there are many easy mistakes to make when working with time.

    I probably didn’t even get to the real reason, I sort of picked this up on my own.





  • He’ll argue it down to, ‘don’t do it again’ with a virgous finger waving, assuming there’s media in the room, otherwise it’s just ‘sorry for intruding on your time, can we remove some charges while you’re here?’.

    I’m disillusioned by the US justice system at the moment, one of the few times I pay attention as a foreigner, mostly to check if the tangerine tantrum is being held accountable for breaking the law like regular people go through M&Ms.





  • I think there was one or two rulings not in Trump’s favour by judges he nominated from the 2020 election or something slightly involving Trump if it wasn’t for that. I just recall thinking, oh maybe they aren’t completely corrupt, just mostly. However he managed to get the bootlicker extraordinaire to judge in the area he lives in (or where his local lawsuits would be filed) as a treat from the Federalist Society for rubber stamping the rest of their list right before leaving office, coincidence I’m sure.





  • Learn? Trump has a handful of actions that he repeats since it’s work his whole life, sue, whine loudly how badly he’s treated, threaten, commit large amounts of fraud like it’s going out of style. Hopefully he’ll finally have reprocussions in action (know we’re waiting on time while he is supposed to pay) but I doubt he’ll actually learn, he’ll just go back to his whining.

    I always thought if it was a fighting game sue would be his default attack button.



  • Would it be that complicated if people knew the lunar cycle, especially since the lunar cycle is fairly static? Not everyone I’m sure but those that needed a better time would probably understand and pass that knowledge along for the night folk. Of course depends when in technology we’re talking but I’d assume we humans understood those cycles pretty early for our survival, not in depth but they got the idea the lunar cycle didn’t change like the seasons did and adjust as needed. I haven’t read up on it so I’ll be glad to hear more info.


  • Her claim was that she couldn’t work or play with her kids for five years though. Tossing trees seems like a pretty excessive activity compared to some light playing with kids or light work.

    Part of me does agree since I had terrible fatigue for a few years, some days were better than others so I understand wanting to do more when you feel better but if you’re in the middle of a claim to pay out 650K then it may be better to know your limits. Especially for back and neck injuries. She could have played with her kids in that time instead which is what she was concerned about for the claim.
