Doom.

A friend gave me a 3.25 floppy and told me it was this cool new game, with a new way of playing called 'first person' which confused the hell out of me until I played it.

Yes it can, you just have to specifiy that it do so.

I find that it tends to limit the hallucination, or hilights when it's hallucinating.

* I'm learning a new programming language. "How do I do <some process> in <language>?" I get enough of an answer that I can experiment with the results. * I have to write business emails. Instead of spending 20 minutes trying to think of the right politically correct terminology, I feed it the bullet points and it spits out a mostly proper email which I then spend another 5 minutes re-typing to get it the rest of the way. * I've always wanted to start a blog, but I hate writing. Same idea as the previous point, but for blog posts.

I don't blindly trust it's output, but it saves me a ton of time in handling the to me bs extra stuff by filling in the edges.

I said something similar to my son a little while ago. He said "That's because you taught me to be polite to my elders. We're not that well behaved on our own."

Despite what we may think about our children (or "the youth of today"), they are basically the same as they've always been, behaving well for adults--mainly I suspect to keep the adults attention away from them.

I think that, as long as we keep the above in mind when we deal with the younger generation we'll be able to help to them rise above our mistakes.

I'll suggest something along the lines of Bitwarden (also Vaultwarden).

Even though I self-host Vaultwarden, I pay the yearly subscription to BW.

From what I understand of anesthetics, they do suppress consciousness. Or, at least, what little we understand consciousness to be.

If it's not possible, it's not studied or researched, so it will never be proven otherwise.

It's much more open-ended to say the opposite; that it's possible until it's proven not to be.

Much of our knowledge was discovered or formulated either because a person didn't know it "wasn't possible" or in defiance of consensus.

I have a personal knowledge of what comes from suicides and suicide attempts. It is something that needs to be addressed.

I have issues with this article, as well as with the owner of the 'bulletin.com' domain. This article flips between discussing 'suicide attempts' and 'suicides' as if they are interchangeable, while only showing the data on 'suicide attempts'.

This bothers me.

"In fact, suicide attempts in adolescent girls dropped to rates similar to those seen in the summer of 2019. That’s not unexpected. Suicide death rates (for which we have decades of reliable data) among teens and young adults predictably fall during summer months, and also in December—that is, times when schools are the least in session." (emphasis mine)

'Suicide deaths' and 'suicide attempts' are not interchaneable.

As usual, the Irish are left out in the cold.

(disclaimer: I'm of Irish descent. It's a joke.)

I know this is an late comment and won't be seen, but I have to say 'Come and See' made me realize just how much I had in a time when I thought I was suffering.

I found myself identifying with the boy, but also the soldiers who did the most horrible things ... and I realized I could be a monster under the right circumstances.

I have spent my life trying to make myself not be that kind of person no matter what my circumstances were.

Or why they aren't recommending 'truncate -s 0 file'

I served in the Pitt Mission from 89-91. He had the missionaries for dinner every few months.

I had the honor of being one of those missionaries, though at the time I thought he was condescending. I've come to realize he was, but not the negative kind. He was a genuinely kind and compassionate man.

The only thing I remember about that dinner was his opinion on our missionary service, which was that even though we were misguided, our hearts were good and God counted that. He sincerely prayed for our success as well as our conversion. I left a very humbled young man.

As a contractor or an employee, you do have the ability to do what you think is right despite what your employer says they want.

But only to a point. People resist perceived change. You can improve the back-end all you want, as long as you don't make unexpected changes to the front-end. This includes something as simple as a clarifying pop-up, or a speed increase of a procedure.

Gah ... I automatically started looking for doors when I went to your site! :D

Create a list of awesome-resources and add your list to this list.

I don't know how widespread these are, but you could try looking for something like a Nicklecade. Old school arcades, all or most games for a nickel.
