  • The supreme court, after such an amendment miraculously passes:

    “Well actually, this sentence doesn’t mention the president of the United States in particular, so it means every president of every company ever. But a company president doesn’t have pardoning powers, so this makes no sense. So this amendment is invalid!”


  • Hmm, I follow the package’s readme and only get invalid command errors.

    Gotta install the pip dependencies.

    Oh but first you need to create a venv or everything will be global. Why isn’t that local by default like with npm? Hell if I know!

    Ah but before that I need to install the RIGHT version of Python. The one I already have likely won’t do. And that takes AGES.

    Oh but even then still just tells me the command is invalid. Ah, great, I live CLIs. Now I’ve gotta figure out PATH variables again and add python there. Also pip maybe?

    Now I can follow the readme’s instructions! Assuming I remember to manually open the venv first.

    But it only gives me errors about missing pieces. Ugh. But I thought I installed the pip dependencies!

    Oh, but turns out there’s something about a text file full of another different set of dependencies that I need to explicitly mention via CLI or they won’t be installed. And the readme didn’t mention that, because that’s apparently “obvious”. No it’s not; I’m just a front-end developer trying to run the darn thing.

    Okay. Now it runs. Finally. But there’s a weird error. There might be something wrong with my .env file. Maybe if I add a print statement to debug… Why isn’t it showing up?

    Oooh, I need to fully rebuild if I want it to show up, and the hot reload functionality that you can pass a command line argument for doesn’t work… Cool cool cool cool.




  • For one it’s not a full, real backup strategy. That’s supposed to include multiple tiers.

    Also it’s instantly synced, so if I bonk my stuff locally, it could be bonked over there and history might not be able to save me depending on the situation.

    And I guess if Dropbox dies my data dies.

    Some people take their data seriously enough to worry about that kind of stuff. I don’t.






    • there are lots of different drugs, and not all of them work on everyone. You may have to try several until you find one that works well and doesn’t have too many undesirable effects on you.
    • usually they start you on a low dose and increase gradually, kind of similarly to how they do for antidepressants. So you won’t really feel the full effect right away. Though starting with 30 mg of lisdexamfetamine is kinda intense. Unless you’re a properly massive individual, I’m amazed the doctor just went there straight away. You could’ve had really unpleasant cardiac side effects. Glad it doesn’t seem like you did.
    • it’s not like cocaine. The effect is supposed to be relatively subtle if it’s right for you.
