Hives are one of the clearest signs of an allergic reaction. There is basically no normal circumstance where those should occur.

It sounds like there are potentially other factors contributing to your symptoms at home, but the last couple of things happening with dogs in general strongly suggests that you have a dog allergy.

I have to echo other posters here and urge you to see a doctor about testing (if financially viable) and mitigation advice.

This is a great post. +1 for potatoes and onions. (Just don’t store them together, they spoil each other faster)

One thing I’ll add is that if the OP is in the United States, commercially sold eggs have the bloom washed off them before they get to store shelves, so they MUST be refrigerated.

You can get dehydrated egg products that are shelf stable until you use them. They’re not perfect but for most purposes they’re good enough.

Must be reliving his memories with Epstein

There are some instances that lean in specific directions, but there are also several that are kind of just melting pots. For the most part I don’t need to use blocks too frequently, but there are definitely some spaces/users that I find are too hostile that it gets in the way of their intended messaging. But then, that line is going to be different for everybody.

🤦

Habits can be built and rebuilt. I’ve known a disappointing amount of people who refuse to use a calendar for reminders out of pride and end up being all over the place in the end.

I had a teacher accuse me of cheating on an essay in fifth grade. It was a teacher I really liked up until that point, too, so it really hurt. I don’t remember anything about them now, so I must have written them off for it, lol.

I think you’ve done well by being in her corner and helping clear up the situation. I wouldn’t have been able to advocate for myself without them because I was hurting too much just trying to process the situation. I remember my parents were very angry with that teacher, but they had my back. If that weren’t the case, it would have destroyed me. Sorry you had to go through that & thanks for being a good dad.

The lawsuit in question is a civil matter, not a criminal one, but you are correct that that is the case if a state prosecutor does decide to bring criminal charges

Uh, nope, you’re putting words in my mouth. It’s not realistic to worry about mitigating that kind of stuff when we can’t even prevent ourselves from cooking ourselves, and several of the things you listed don’t even have plausible technical solutions right now. Nice try, though.

a planetary catastrophe out of our control

You’re still describing climate change. Science fiction ideas are fun to think about but our own inability to live harmoniously with nature is going to kill us off before any of those problems become relevant.

We can’t afford that :(

At the very least they need to invest in server side anti cheat. If that’s not viable they should be obliged to adequately moderate their game.

If I were to speculate, I’d say it came from the == operator (Boolean equality comparison) and then later, when that was extended to include Boolean less-than-or-equal and greater-than-or-equal, the decision was made to keep them 2 characters long. Either because it was visually cleaner, or just because programmers love being lazy (read: efficient)

If you can’t accept business plans that make a little less profit to include sufficient human moderation to avoid heavyhanded kernel level anti cheat - you shouldn’t be in the fucking publishing business, you greedy weasels.

Counterpoint, if you have two monitors with different DPI scaling, window dimensions get butchered when moving between them

This looks awesome. Posting so I can read it later - the Mbin mobile site absolutely butchers your table, and I feel like submitting a bug report~

That is also fine!

If there are any R voters left in the Trump camp who have the capacity to be disgusted, this might push more of them to vote Harris/Walz

To quote Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 3, Line 87: “No”.

Frankly I don’t like that tradition either, but I don’t see any realistic way that it ever changes.
