Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

This bill was introduced by two Democrats to highlight how all these policies are being enacted by Republicans that target women but not men.

I would bet that there’s a rule that not only says what you said, but redirects people to something like r/askplumbers or whatever for these kind of posts.

I haven’t used reddit regularly since the API exodus, but I was part of plenty of communities like that. Mods can’t allow exceptions because you’ll get regulars complaining about the rule breaking content and new users complaining that their post was removed.

Like you said, they were mostly professional subreddits, but others had similar rules (like r/churning, but they were extra crazy. They’d require all discussion to be in specific threads so the content was less likely to be indexed by search engines).

Started getting into martial arts a few years ago (late in life). Stretch and train almost every day, I’m nowhere near close to being able to do a split. At some point, it definitely takes more than just practice.

I’m not saying it isn’t possible, I’ve seen guys older than me do it, but age, sex and past experience and training definitely play large factors. My wife doesn’t stretch at all, hasn’t exercised on a regular basis since she was in highschool (she was in cheer) and she could get a LOT closer to a full split than I can.

It was more than just the phone books. Back before smart phones, if you needed to look up a phone number you’d call information (411) and they’d look it up for you. For instance, if you were stuck on the side of the road and needed a tow truck.

Information would be able to look up businesses close to where you were using the NPA/NXX of the phone number you were calling from (the first six digits of the number including the area code) and then give you a couple options in alphabetical order.

I had a client who had a phone number in every exchange in NYC and had a name like “AAA Towing” so no matter where in NYC you called information for a tow truck from, they’d usually be the first option given to you.

iTunes is one of those services that offer DRM free music.

I’m definitely not an apple fanboy (I’m an android user) but Apple switched to DRM free a while ago.

People have been saying Green Day aren’t punk since Dookie. That’s always been a thing with punk. Once you leave the underground clubs of NYC, you’re pop.

A lot of what you hear is overblown. I’m usually the one to take my kids to activities (karate, gymnastics, birthday parties, etc). I’m very much an extrovert so I’m usually the type to talk to the other parents, play with the kids, etc.

It’s all about the situation and your demeanor. I’m usually the first to stop a kid from walking out of a place, running into the street, etc. I’ve never had a response other than thank you. Most parents appreciate the help.

Sometimes you might find parents that are a bit colder, but that’s the exception, not the norm. As long as it doesn’t seem like you’re trying to lore the kids into your van with candy, you’re probably fine.

I originally completely over engineered it by tracking the YTD humidity and adjusting for the difference between the current average and last year’s and then someone mentioned just putting a second humidity sensor outside the bathroom. So I just do that. If the bathroom humidity spikes about 10% over the humidity outside the bathroom, it turns on and then it turns off at a static number.

It sounds wasteful, but I already had a sensor in my primary bedroom, and the thermostat is right outside the kids bathroom so I didn’t have to install anything new.

I then added a cooldown to make sure it doesn’t end up in a loop where it keeps turning on and off (that’s never actually happened but it seemed like a good idea).

I also use it as a way to control the lights. I use motion detection to turn on the lights, but they used to turn off while someone was in the shower. Now it checks to see if the fan is on and if it is, resets the motion detection timer.

Bathroom fan connected to a humidity sensor is my (and my family’s )absolute favorite automation. I spent so much time on my system setting up sensors, configuring things, etc, but nothing gives me more delight than when I’m taking a shower, the fan kicks on automatically and then shuts off automatically.

I haven’t had to deal with foggy mirrors in years!

GoDaddy has always been pretty shitty.

I moved about half my domains (I have about roughly 30) to Cloudflare and then stopped as I started hitting caveats. For instance they considered some of my domains “premium” and wouldn’t take them. I was having problems using them with some hosted website providers, etc

I let the rest of my domains transfer to SquareSpace and it’s been mostly painless (besides Google Domains completely fucking up my email but that’s wasn’t SquareSpaces fault). I’ll probably run out the registration on all of them and make a decision on where I’m moving my domains next year. Probably won’t be Cloudflare though.

That said, Cloudflare definitely seems cheaper than SquareSpace.

Wait, are we not supposed to tie $100 bills to our mortars?

My uncle came back from Vietnam with really bad PTSD (among other problems like alcoholism). Every fourth he would spend the whole day/night in the basement with the curtains drawn (to block out the flashes) and headphones on with the sound turned all the way up (to block out the sounds).

He would also take my cousins to buy fireworks every year.

I don’t mean to minimize your struggle, I just thought the juxtaposition was interesting.

I hope you could work through your struggles. I’m happy to say he was able to. He was able to quit drinking and minimize the effects of his PTSD. By the end of his life he was out there watching us shoot off the fireworks.

The tl;dr of that article isn’t even “no”. It provides both sides of the accounts and references academics that argue both ways.

I read it to make the same argument you did, but ended up considering it a surprisingly well written article.

Love it or hate it, they aren’t intentionally designed not to be walkable, they’re intentionally designed to discourage traffic from driving through them.

The reason communities like yours and the one behind your house aren’t connected is to reduce the amount of cars driving down your block. To make it safer for your kids to play outside.

Same boat. My partner’s grandfather had a bunch of WW2 memorabilia that their parents passed down to us. Among it are the papers of some Nazis he took off their bodies as well as other odds and ends.

It just sits in a box in our closet. It’s interesting history, but definitely not something I have any interest in displaying.

There’s not really enough info in the article to say for sure, but I don’t think it takes over 8 hours to fly from Houston to Seattle, so that requirement probably didn’t apply.

Interestingly the only paperwork you need is a document from a vet that says the animal is healthy. If the flight is more than 8 hours then you also need a document from the vet that the animal can go the entire flight without reliving itself.

I don’t think that’s what people mean when they say “people should be required to provide documentation when bringing a service animal on a plane”.

Probably a similar response as the women trying to enter the museum before 1965.
