Could also be job postings to convince current workers that their overwork will soon end because the company is about to hire new folks. I’ve seen that theory floated to explain the “help wanted” signs at fast food places that never come down.

They have butter for their hot cakes. Sounds like it was adding butter packets to the order.

And iirc the historical reason it’s not disrespectful for women to keep their hat on is that hats were much more integrated into women’s hairdos. So, it’d be a whole production of removing hat pins, re-arranging curls, etc.

I thought it was disrespectful to wear your hat in church. Huh.

It was surprisingly easy to get my dextroamphetamine prescription through a (local) telehealth doctor. Of course, I know I have ADHD because I’m not addicted to the meds and, in fact, keep forgetting to take then.

The cheese stands alone

Makes sense. I’m a librarian and we still use cards from the old card catalog for notes.

Come on, I’m counting on you!

I finally found a job that I enjoy and isn’t wicked stressful. I’m looking forward to going in on Monday to fix a bug that reared its head over the weekend. It’s lovely.

My previous job had little downtime, lots of deadlines, and paid more. I took mental health days a lot.

Current job pays 2/3 as much and I love it. I don’t call out nearly as often.

Thanks for the clarification. It’s hard to tell these days and I don’t always have the spoons/mental bandwidth for it.

By “they elected Hamas” you mean maybe 15% of the current population? That’s a broad brush you’re wielding.

(Based on 70% of the population of Gaza being under 30 years old, meaning they’d have been 13 or under in 2006, when the last election was held. And Hamas got ~45% of the popular vote in the 2006 election.)

Congratulations! I’m wicked happy for you, Internet Stranger :) and hope you a smooth recovery.

Robert Evans wrote a post on it and did multiple podcast episodes.

The TL&DR is that AI-generated children’s books are crap, without a coherent storyline or any literary niceties like “foreshadowing” and “beginning middle and end”. Kids are still learning what stories look like, so if you hand them AI-generated stuff they might know it’s unsatisfying, but they can’t put into words why their books are wrong.

I’m with you. I didn’t manage to get through the whole thing.

Can I tempt you over to Notepad++?

Yeah, longevity and name recognition are why I went with sdf.org. They’ve been running many-user services for decades, even if the Lemmy service is pretty new.

ETA: they’ve been around since BBSes. I’m on a wicked nerdy old-school geek instance, and I love my local communities.

Yeah, but they usually don’t let you nap in them.

It gives me nostalgia for when I used to get into the family dryer as a toddler and manually rotate the drum with me inside it. I had to make sure the door didn’t shut because there was no way to open it from the inside. I fell asleep in there once. My younger brother thought it was hilarious to shut the door on me.

Mom was Not Pleased and started locking that bathroom/laundry room combo until I was too big to fit.

Looking back, I understand her anxiety. She was probably also annoyed that I tossed all the dry laundry onto the floor. But in my toddler defense it was really nice vestibular simulation. I wonder if I could recreate the experience as an adult.

Anyways, driers are attractive to children and pets for all sorts of reasons. It’s really dangerous for them, so double check that there’s not a critter in the dryer.

I ran across a couple of comments on Ars Technica that mentioned moving to Lemmy. I’d never heard of it before.

nano for me, please.
