Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.
I go to bed at 9pm everyday, and get 8hrs+ of sleep.
For the 2022 Microsoft Excel World Championship I downloaded the problems the moment they were released to the contestants and public and solved as many as I could in real time. I would have finished 5th.
You’d better be well paid, whatever you do. Like politics, all the wrong people go into Excel.
Now that there’s python in excel, I wonder how that competition will change.
I can eyeball the smallest available Tupperware that will fit the leftovers, every time.
I offer a course of cook everything in one pot as much as possible, then move the pot to the fridge and eat only that till it’s gone, clean pot and start over. 1 pot, 1 crock pot fit on my second shelf, drinks on the bottom, and fruits vegatables in the drawers. If it’s on the top shelf, I probably need to clean it out because I never know what’s there. Likely cheese.
You’ve completed the course.
Yea, my partner says my superpower is my spacial recognition. For me it’s totally natural to disassemble things and spin them around in my head, for her it’s totally foreign.
We also don’t both have internal monologs, and we are an extrovert/introvert pairing, so we do tend to talk more about our mental differences, maybe that’s why.
In visual studio, a program for software developers, one of the type of templates you can start up and make a program with is in “blazor webassembly”. One of Microsoft’s fancy new things.
In there, right after starting it, there is some example code thrown in your face. Code that contains pi… with a rounding error.
So I, being the insistent autistic nerd I am, made a pull request and had it fixed. And I still wonder how so many people looked at that and it bothered absolutely no one enough to go and fix it.
Oo, me too. I added a feature for submodules in their git implementation for VSCode. I have contributed to tons of the FOSS software I use, feels good to give back.
I was Time Person of the Year in 2006.
2006: “You” is Time Person of the Year
2015-2024: OH MY GOD SOCIAL MEDIA IS BAD FOR DEMOCRACY AND WE NEED TO BAN IT FOR CHILDREN AND MISINFORMATION AND PORNOGRAPHY AND HATE SPEECH AND FASCISM AND (“(&)§$()”§&(&$(")§&$
I was a preteen in 2006 and still hold the optimist views about technology and its democratization that so many people held in 2006, but it seems I’m nearly the only one who even remembers them.
You’re not the only one! I think it’s worth noting that back then, “social media” was a new model in which the viewers provided the content, a democratizing force which broke the hold of a small priesthood of editors, producers, and owners over the message we hear.
Now, so-called social media is synonymous with The Algorithm. That is, the powerful and connected have figured out how to tame it and gatekeep information again, this time in a far more insidious way. It still has the veneer of populism, but scratch the surface, and the owners largely control what you see.
It’s darkly hilarious to read discussions on here in which people deny that Lemmy is social media at all, rather than an example of the ur-social media, the good kind.
