I feel like similarly sized cities have similar problems.

for what it’s worth, I liked Richmond when I visited

I feel like it just paints an absurd situation. They’re in a precarious situation and can lose their balance and fall forward or backward. I don’t think there’s anything weird with the physics if you accept it’s supposed to be an absurd situation.

lol for real, every sentence I was like “dude… no, stop”

my understanding is that minoxidil addresses half the problem and finasteride addresses the other half… it’s something like minoxidil increases the blood flow and finasteride thickens the hair (usually male pattern baldness is like just your hair is too thin to break through the skin or something?)

if you’re gonna try, I’d say it’s not worth it unless you’re doing both at the same time. It works really well for some people, but I’m too worried about the side effects to try

plus, I save so much money just shaving my head 😂

the article says “The deoxyribose gel was so effective, researchers found it worked just as well as minoxidil”

minoxidil isn’t that effective to begin with. It even points that out later in the article.

This is interesting but I’m not optimistic.

My understanding is you don’t actually need to update the copyright year… if anything it’s kinda misleading if you only have the current year

it’s interesting and entertaining to see how others approach or react to the same problems.

fasterthanlime is so cool btw

I can’t stop listening to this specific one, it’s been months and everyday I listen to it at work

these methods don’t account for all the variables that reality has. People across all boarding groups will be late, there will be people that need assistance from flight attendants, there will be people who want to switch seats to be near their family, there will be people who can’t sit in the exit row, there will be people who need to use the rest room, there will be people who’ve never been on a plane before.

There is no great, full proof way to handle it because people are unpredictable

I flew around 26 times domestically last year and most of the flights ran out of space. It’s really common for the airline to ask for volunteers to check their carry-ons. If you aren’t in the first 2/3rds of people on the plane, you’ll likely be forced to check your carry-ons.

This problem has gotten worse over the years because airlines have increased the prices for checking your luggage so many people opt to bring carry-ons instead.

but not everyone wants to buy yet (younger people, people who want flexibility, people who know they are moving [only in that city for school], etc).

People don’t want to buy a house because it’s either unaffordable, unavailable or the process takes too long. If you eliminate those aspects of home ownership, people wouldn’t mind and maybe even prefer owning a home for short periods of time.

I’ve used Zulip a couple times and thought it had some neat features and worked well enough. What’s so bad about it that justifies a reaction like that?

I’ve found whenever people complain about rust code they can only point out how it’s different but not why it’s worse and I can usually point to a reason why it’s better.

to be fair, I get sometimes it’s difficult to pinpoint why something is bad and even “being different” can be a legitimate criticism on its own

what is this style of meme called?

I’ve been mostly making games for fun and am fairly risk adverse so am planning on sticking with a stable job and making games in my free time.

It’s discouraging, but it is reality. I still want to try, but definitely not putting more than one egg in this basket.

I’ll admit I’m knowingly doing the following haha

hopefully it’ll at least be a positive experience and I learn something from it

I’ve been doing itch and jams for a little bit, even managed to win one once. I’ve learned a lot but can’t shake this feeling that I’m just making free games for itch. You might be right though… whatever kind of sea of games I think itch is, the mobile sea may be a lot worse.

ooph, I just started trying to make a mobile game in Jan 😬

this makes so much sense, how do you know all this?

remember how white vehicles were always covered with dead bugs? and how people used to put nets on their front bumper?
