Holy shit where’s the zombie movie that has one of these in it that’d be so metal

Honestly even if I did I’d preserve the page as is, beautiful

What about a bash script that calls your CI/CD because the system is so old and complex anyone learning how to use it immediately builds a 1-off tool to hide what they don’t need but then everyone starts relying on that 1-off bash script so you extend the functionality then replace it with a proper tool then let that rot so you need a new bash script to call that to hide the useless parts?

“pay that debt later on”, nothings more permanent than temporary. In my experience things are more likely to default than get paid lol

My favorite tactic used by several of the coffee shops near me is they start slowly turning the music louder. People naturally start leaving once it’s too loud to think or talk. Place I used to work at we’d turn off half the lights and everyone would just show up at the register no confrontation needed. People were fine with it a vast majority of the time but occasionally there would be someone who asked us to turn the lights back on so they could keep shopping

I do QA for headsets. My job involves a lot of building and rebuilding various branches so everything I can do to make that easier is great

I had a retail job years back where part of my work was processing incoming freight and putting it in the inventory system. I set up a spreadsheet that helped me format the entries for the actual system. My boss kinda hated it, like “you’re adding extra steps it’s a waste”. Never did convince them it was saving me time and wrist health, had to use it in secret

Another boss I had actively tried to get me to stop using a spreadsheet to track my time and instead update their time tracking system on every task. I could either spend a couple seconds slapping in a spreadsheet entry and have it auto fill in the time spent since the last entry and bulk copy in the day to the time tracking system as part of me leaving for the day, or I could spend a minute fucking with the time tracking system every few minutes of work

At my current job my boss caught wind of me setting up a way to abstract our build system for dedicated types of builds. Instead of trying to get me to stop I was asked to present it to the team and help other people build little tools like it for their own uses. Feels a lot better

Fuck yessss, I hope the support is good. They put so much love into that game now I want to see how extra the modding scene will get

I understand the time sync now. It takes me about 90 minutes from when the alarm goes off to when I’m done and I’ve got help from my mom doing things like getting me a hot water bottle and making sure I’m stocked on everything before she leaves me to my business. It would definitely be more like 2 or more hours plus a lot more exhaustion doing this by myself. My sleep schedule is completely fucked right now with everything other than dilating being in 4hr blocks

Yeah I get that. It’s just hard, especially with having my mom take care of me right now, I don’t want to be a burden she’s already gone through so much she’s getting older and is supposed to be doing old people stuff now not caring for me again. So I’m doing everything I can to get better but also I need to be easy on myself too it hasnt been very long since surgery

I’m still having the occasional bladder spasms but yeah it’s not “20 straight hours of pain med ignoring spasms”! Got to say I think I understand the appeal of sounding even less than I did before. And yeah doctors have been all positive news so far and from what I’m seeing personally I haven’t noticed really anything of concern. I do keep feeling like I’m falling behind like I shouldn’t be so exhausted anymore or getting out of bed should be easier. Keep having to remind myself it’s been like 8 days since surgery

Damn no wonder I hear so many stories of people falling behind on dilating that all sounds really extensive. I’ve got really good starting depth (like “don’t put the dilator in further you won’t be able to get it back out”) and expected starting girth so I don’t want to fuck this up

What was your dilation schedule like? Did you do equal times through the day or was it like split through your average active times and pause for sleep?

Yeah you get it 😂

My first couple months is going to include finalizing my divorce, and in the last eight or so months my polycule has completely collapsed so I’m just by myself now, so I’m pretty worried about my mental health at that time. I’m doing everything I can though

I’m normally very physically active, walk everywhere, go rock climbing, so I think I’ll be able to bounce back relatively quickly. Even at the hospital when I was drugged out my gourd I was trying to walk around because being bed locked drives me so batty

I hear people talking about how dilation becomes your entire life basically. Is that just because of how regularly it has to happen? It doesn’t seem like that big of a time sync to me, am I missing something?

The change in pitch of my scream was the slide whistle

I know his belly isn’t nearly as good but our other cat actually will let you blow raspberries into his tummy

My part Maine coon isn’t the most snuggly but soooometimes hell wrap around my arm. For the snoring part though he’s a major snorer and often wants to be near enough to me to put his head in my hand but not so near as for full on snuggles. He’s my tiny 20 pound son I love him

I’m really going to have to watch out when I’m home though. Whatever side of the bed he first jumps up on he actually wants to hang out in the other side. He’s mastered the ability to step over me by putting his full 20 pounds through a single paw on my crotch. Going to be a whole thing trying to get him to not do that during recovery :/

Oh that’s much different than mine. The ones I had were from inflammation pulling on bolster stitching. It was like a couple hours of feeling like my bits were getting torn open then an hour or so of being fine, repeated a few times. The last one I was crying so hard I had an asthma attack too so could barely breath and was coughing which doubled down because of the increased blood pressure, tension, and stressing my abdominal incisions
