Yeah, there’s definitely a z-axis on that graph which represents time. Good point.

I do have all of those in my cabinet, but wasn’t aware they would help with falling/staying asleep. Def agree about not becoming dependent on melatonin supplements; I try not to over-do it, but sometimes when I have important stuff to do first thing in the morning, I don’t want risk being a zombie from poor/no sleep.

I feel like there’s got to be a point on the curve where the money to problems ratio is just right lol.

Story of my life lol.

I’ve been taking melatonin gummies before bed, and those seem to be helping.

I’m guessing the phrase originated with people who have money?

…basically my life until like 2 years ago lol

About the only thing I really still have cravings for is steak. That’s mostly because I haven’t found (or there doesn’t exist) a good substitute for that. The Beyond Steak are just like steak shavings. They’re good, especially with eggs (cage free!), and other stuff, but not if I want a big steak as a main course.

Luckily, the price of steak has kept those cravings fully in check lol

I’m prob like 90% vegetarian these days (like I said in another comment, my cheats are mostly with pizza toppings and just not ordering anything special if I’m splitting a meal with a group). I’m not against eating animals, per se, but I am against factory farming and all the cruelty that entails. That said, I’m also lactose intolerant, so I use the dairy-free cheese which ends up making a lot of my dishes vegan lol.

Lol, yeah, they definitely don’t have to suck. When they first put those in, they were actually pretty fantastic. But Kroger Corporate said “not on my watch” and cranked up the security to obscene levels and made them horrible. There’s just not another decent grocery story close to me, so I’m stuck. Yay food deserts 🫠

In Javascript, Math.random() produces a float value between 0 and 1, so I multiply by 1000 and round it to get a larger integer. The value %2 == 0 is a non-library way of performing isEven() on the random integer (value % 2 is 0 if even, 1 if odd, and the ==0 makes it return a boolean). When used in the if statement, it’s essentially a coin flip.

That’s Drs. Russell and Crusher, but yea lol. Though growing me some rhythm may be harder than a Klingon spinal cord lol.

Yes, but with both my arms and legs.

He just makes that look so natural. Meanwhile, I can’t even look natural just walking normally 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’m past the temptation phase lol, but nice try.

I do still cheat once in a while, but it’s mostly just with like pizza toppings. If we’re getting pizza, I’m not going to rock the boat and request something special or pick off the pepperoni.

I would love to do that, but my skillset isn’t quite there.

However, I have been looking into maintaining a few LineageOS builds for devices that I have which are no longer maintained officially. That’s something I guess.

Doug Jones is just a complete master of bringing characters to life, but he went above and beyond with Saru’s walk.

Alcohol got me through the last administration. Cheers to round 2 I guess.

It absolutely is. Almost like it was designed to be as frustrating as possible for some kind of social experiment.

Because the bagging area is like 9 feet away at the end of the conveyor.

They’re basically reversed from what the cashiers use where you load your items onto the conveyor to be scanned. On these, the scanning platform is a little, tiny table on one end where you scan your items and then you put it on the conveyor that takes it to the bagging area.

When the belt gets a little less than half full, the machine makes you go bag some stuff.

All the while, my groceries are melting lol.

Edit: Like this

The other style where you can bag as you go (pictured below) also make you wait 2-3 seconds, but if you’re scanning a lot of little items (seasoning packets, yeast, those little water flavor enhancer things, etc), they don’t trigger the scale and you have to wait for it to realize you’re not stealing or something. Either way, they’re not suitable to scan a whole cart of groceries. Like, if you fill up the carousel and try to set some bags down until you can put them in your cart, it’ll call for backup and you have to wait for the single cashier that’s attending to 12-15 of these abominations to come and verify you’re not trying to steal.

Yeah, it’s like they wanted to include that stat but also kind of gloss over it to not “all people are stressed” the article. I can see why they did, but yeah, lol.

Nope. I’m staunchly against “AI”. If the code sucks, it’s because I wrote bad code.

Edit: Oh, or did you mean is that how “AI” works?
