I know what I’m doing with my evening now.

I think you’re undervaluing loneliness. Loneliness isn’t just missing some one. Loneliness means there’s no point in connecting with people because they will just die. Loneliness means that no one knows the depth of your condition because it isn’t available to them. It means that as they change and face new obstacles, you’ll be oblivious to all of that. You’ll not only see them die, you’ll see the vitality deep out of their pores as they age. All the while you’ll never know what that means personally or feel that slow slipping.

Also, super weird that your example is a breakup and people dying is something not worth registering.

Vampires need to ask permission to enter and physically can’t without permission. Can the ‘can’ be read in both senses here?

To imagine you wrote this sentence by purpose.

I’m trying to find studied that show it isn’t statistically different from a placebo, but doesn’t seem to be well studied. Can anyone share some well designed studies?

I wish I had a friend who could just be there while I tried to get it set up. Honestly, I’d peroxide pizza, beer, and video games just so I don’t collapse in a mess of confusion and self doubt when something goes wrong. I don’t mind doing the work, but I don’t know if I have the patience to figure it all out.

They want to keep their monthly mortgage payment between $3,000 and $3,500 — or around 30% of their monthly take-home income of about $11,000.

This makes it seem like they only take home a little more than half their wages.

Something doesn’t add up. The only issue I see is one might be an independent contractor. Or they’re excluding health insurance and 401k.

Edit: some quick digging. First issue is the definition of take home pay.

Take-home pay is the net amount of income received after the deduction of taxes, benefits, and voluntary contributions from a paycheck. It is the difference resulting from the subtraction of all deductions from gross income. Deductions include federal, state and local income tax, Social Security and Medicare contributions, retirement account contributions, and medical, dental and other insurance premiums. The net amount or take-home pay is what the employee receives.

But the bigger issue is the 30% rule. 30% is on gross and not take home. This would give them a out 7k per month. I bet they’re following the advice of someone like a Dave Ramsey. These people are not victims.

Noice.

The one struggling to keep it’s head above water?

Brazil is no longer a state in Mexico after it moved to China.

This article has a hard paywall, so I found another source.

According to this article it seems the impact was limited because it only effected the most recent Debian server release. So the issue was limited, discovered quickly, and easily fixed.

The recent windows issues was extensive for all windows machines, discovered after massive outages, and difficult to fix.

I’m not sure this is a win for Linux, but there a number of decisions that CrowdStrike made that failed to live up to the trust issue by WHQL certification.

I think that this didn’t have the same extent for Linux is pure luck.

Cool. But that’s also what people didn’t like about them.
Also, without growing an old strain yourself, I’m not sure where you’re getting bitter ones these days.

They used to taste far more bitter. Then in the late 90s, a breeder was able to remove that flavor.

When learn about and discover the missing child in the same instant.

First, you don’t have to, it’s a useful convention.
Since the middle ages, the west has used a seven note scale with five whole steps and two half steps. This gives one scale, c major, with seven natural (neither flat nor sharp) notes.

As an aside, I believe there are six note scales.

Listening to some Captain Beefheart, huh… I’ll grab my shiny rocks!

And how is this just like that small rebel group in Ecuador?

Bad security. Just chew right through that.

Philadelphia.

And anything that likes to eat squirrels.
