I appreciate it, but what I appreciate more is that you saying that means your the kind of person someone whos just starting to get sober would be lucky to run in to. Keep that up.

As a yank my favorite thing about breakfast in europe is it has… vegetables. I skip breakfast a lot because it makes me sluggish, but after a trip to Amsterdam for work, I started doing what I had at the small hotel there: some combo of cold cuts, one or two bite sized pastries like in the picture, some sliced tomatoes with a bit of salt, some peppers or green beans, some cheese, and a hard boiled egg. Occasionally some kimchi or saurkraut, but that I never had with breakfast in europe.

My only real gripe about EU breakfast is the coffee. Absolutely delicious but gone to fast. Even if inferior, I need volume. Coffee is my emotional support beverage to get me through the first half of my day. It’s either that or a pitcher of bloody marry’s and I’ve been sober a while now.

You can be pretty technical/capable and still write that article (especially if you have technical expertise outside programming). I have never felt so seen.

I worked my way up from arduino -> RasPi -> Debian -> Self hosting quite a few things. I’m very much a hobbyist/novice, but I’m used to learning. It is so hard to read some documentation and understand what something even does sometimes. This goes double for incredibly useful tools for monitoring/implementing other tools. Like I swear I read the kubernetes descriptions 30x before I realized what in the hell it actually does, and now I’m probably about to break my entire home network with it because I think it’s cool as hell.

Also, to your comment specifically: I can get sensors on PCBs I personally made collecting data, throwing it through my own MQTT broker, hosting a dashboard etc, all at a remote site across state lines. I have no idea wtf markdown is. I use yaml for HA stuff with the ESPs, but I don’t know why markdown is a thing and it’s not just python.

And I am 1000% sure there is a very good reason for 98% of this. But yes I found this article hilarious. In my personal circle of hell all nouns end in “-ly”.

It might be? I forget exactly what it is in humans, I just remember the pictures I was shown. Midline disorders are nightmare fuel.

Oh I get how it got that way, it’s just unfortunate what that lead to in a clinical setting.

Similar to the meme… godamn did they fuck up by not holding geneticists to something close to… SOME standard naming.

Dated a maternal fetal medicine specialist. She’d come home being like “you ever have to explain to someone they have a mutation in the ‘sonic the hedgehog’ gene of their kid?!” If you’re familiar with what it does in fruit flies (when it was named), it’s fucking horrific in humans. Don’t google it.

That’s not me. Thaaaats asbestos.

I worked in bioelectrochemostry. We had looked into that to see if we could juice reactors. Turns out it’s not the bugs that limit things, but godamn did that stuff make them boogie.

Not as great as it seems. The thing is, everyone’s retirement is tied to real-estate. The numbers my vary country by country, but nearly all pension funds and mutual funds have significant exposure to real-estate that is just ignoring the issue that those properties may become uninsurable. That’s before what happens due to the economic disruption of all those cities slowly, then at an increased velocity, relocating.

It’s not going to be pretty.

So yes, I realize this a joke map (honestly, a giant, probably mostly freshwater sea, in the US would be a blessing). But what you’re describing is the main issue with climate change.

It’s not going to be “the day after tomorrow”. It will be coastal cities… which are… like nearly ALL of them… losing all their economic value. In the US when having this conversation I say “what do you do when any building in Manhattan is uninsurable? What do you do when it’s sure to have severe damage?”.

For most people there are plenty of places to go, but the “going” is going to be very, very ugly.

If you ever happen to be around people who construction related to water lines, etc, and want to start a fight, bring this up.

I have seen people with masters degrees in civil engineering defend this. It’s just this weird holdout of insanity for some reason.
