I know someone who stopped buying weed from the dispensary because it was too expensive. They bought from “a guy” one of their friends knew.

When they ended up in the hospital, blood tests showed no THC in their system. It wasn’t weed. Synthetic cannabinoids. Very nasty. Best to stay away from them.

If you need the weed, pay the price at the dispensary.

I could be wrong, but in the case of Mikayla Raines, the subreddit wasn’t necessarily discussing self harm, but was promoting online harassment which led to suicide.

Assuming the lenses can be removed and replaced, opticians should be able to cut prescription lenses to fit.

When my wife had her practice, we had a machine that could cut patterns using the frame. Then the pattern is used to cut the lenses. I’m sure it’s even easier today.

Later on, I learned that an excess of comments is actually not considered a good practice.

Pointless or uninformative comments are not good, regardless of the quantity.

Useful and informative comments are always good, regardless of the quantity.

I learned that comments might be a code smell indicating that the code is not very clear.

When I’m looking at someone else’s code, I want to see extensive, descriptive comments.

Good code should be so clear, that it doesn’t need comments.

That hits me like something a teacher tells you in a coding class that turns out to be nonsense when you get to the real world.

I’m not sure how others do it.

As I’m coding, the comments form part of my plan. I write the comments before the code. As I discover I’ve made incorrect assumptions or poor decisions, I correct the comments with the new plan, then correct the code to match the updated comments.

As a final step in coding, when I feel it is complete, I’ll review comments to determine what should remain to help future me if I ever have to dig into it again.

Variable names should be reasonably memorable and make contextual sense, but that’s it. That’s what they exist for. Don’t overload the purpose of anything I’m the code.

My oldest has no children and works fully remote.

When the pandemic started, his company decided to have everyone work from home. They very quickly discovered that they were just as productive, and the owner decided it made sense to dump their office space.

A group of employees decided to go on vacation together, while still working. Since they are all remote, they didn’t actually have to work from home. They got an Airbnb with good Internet, worked during the day, and saw the sites and had fun together after work.

If you’re remote and you miss that sense of community, reach out to your coworkers and ask them if they want to hang out after work. It’s possible they don’t and you’ll be disappointed. It’s also possible that they feel the same way but didn’t know they could do something about it.

Either you’ll be the hero that saved everyone from their solitary existence, or you’ll have to accept that they don’t want to hang out with you.

It’s definitely because you were raised on soda.

I think our 2021 Honda Civic Sport looks pretty fancy. No one is going to mistake it for a Ferrari, but I think it’s pretty hot for the price.

I also wouldn’t fit in any real sports car anyway.

You win.

About 40 years. We met for real when she was in 9th grade and I was in 10th grade. We started dating when she was 15 and I was 16. We got married 32 years ago.

Edit: Since it looks like we’re the oldest couple in the thread so far: first date was October 5, 1986.

I don’t know. Future me is already pretty pissed about me forgetting to take lactaid.

The tray is for water spills more than coffee spills. If water spills, it’s much less and not difficult to clean up. When it’s a coffee spill like this, it’s much more effort to clean up.

Also, I thought I was going to have coffee, but instead I had a mess.

Yeah. The tray underneath is really just to catch water spills, but it definitely came in handy today.

I’ve done it often with the machine at work, but I’m always nearby, so I catch it before it overflows the drip tray.

I don’t know what that is, but I’m guessing it would be bad.

Yep. Started the machine and carried my breakfast out to my desk. Had to go back for something and thought, “something sounds wrong”, but it was almost finished.

The horror!!!

Been there, done that.

Glad to hear it.

I had a solid block of meetings this morning, but they’re over now. I made myself grilled cheese with tomato for lunch, so it’s turning out better than it started.

Originally the tray was there because I spill water when I’m refilling it, but it proved helpful in this case as well.

I had a class in college about Jesus. It was taught by a Catholic priest.

One thing he said that stuck with me is that people don’t see the real miracles.

When they talk about the miracle of the loaves and fish, people talk about how enough food for the multitude was created out of just what a couple people brought for their own lunch. People think the miracle is the creation of food. However this priest pointed out that the real miracle is that people who didn’t know anyone else there gave all they had so that others could eat. Everyone shared so that no one went hungry.

Edit: one other thing that he said that stuck with me was, “Jesus Christ, son of Mary and Joe Christ”
