One thing I can say about Minnesotans is that we’re culturally odd.
We’ll take care of eachother, but don’t expect pleasant hellos and conversations with anyone. There are a lot of people that hunt, not a lot of people that hunt well or frequently. The Mall of America isn’t as awesome as when you were a kid. The death of Prince was a State Tragedy. To outsiders, no, Minnesota does not consist of Duluth, the Twin Cities, and snow filled cornfields. Yes it’s too damn cold. Yes it’s too damn warm for this time of the year. No we won’t quit complaining either way. Say yes to lefsa. Always safe with a caserol at a dinner party.
Never state something in a way that conveys your opinion or feelings too strong. That’s rude. Never stand too close to or facing straight towards people in a conversation. That’s rude. Don’t get too involved. That’s rude.
Do smile and raise a hand when you see someone you might know, or someone who does it to you regardless if you can identify them or not.
Skol!
Edit: So I asked my brother, and while he too was aware of hotdish being the correct entrée for a combination of ingredients baked in a pan, he also defaults to caserol. I think it’s because our parents and extended family do not live here. For those confused, tater tot hotdish != tater tot caserol
I mean, let’s be honest guys, would we really get the paychecks we do if any software engineer could turn out perfect functioning code on time and in budget for every request?
A lot of people think I’m joking when I say I’m a good at what I do because I’m a witch doctor with computers. Software Engineering requires experience with the occult, at a minimum.
I’m talking like one person brought in all the money for a decade, then a divorce happens. Some of it makes sense - a house with mortgage, one spouse buys the other out of the house. Which is great, but if one spouse doesn’t have the income to take a loan out to buy the other, does that mean that the spouse who does have the...
I don’t tell my coworkers my birthday because everyone makes a big deal out of it, or celebrates it.
But for me, I can no longer shake the thought of “goddamn, should I celebrate because I survived one more year, or celebrate because the likelihood of death has come that much closer.”
So it kind of makes me in a twisted mood on my birthday where I’d rather just like to eat and play video games uninterrupted. My first birthday being single is coming up so I don’t even get to do the usual joke to my ex “what no birthday blowjob?”
I don’t like birthdays. As a kid they were awesome until my dad decided those candles that don’t go out would be funny on my 13th. After that I realized birthday’s are just a stupid way of gauging our physical and mental capabilities. 20 years later and it feels the same
There is no affordable car today that you can make any money today that you need to use. They require money in order to maintain it well enough to use.
Tires are expensive. Gas is expensive. You’ve got filters and oils and fluids to replace, and headlamps. Without the required disposables, a car is basically useless.
A house without running water, or power, or natural gas, or a furnace filter, or water softener, or lightbulbs, or toilet paper, etc. still provides shelter without all of those things.
A car gets you from point a to point b until it doesn’t. At that point it’s disposed of.
My next vehicle will be. no reason to have a gas anything. Unfortunately I’m in the middle of a divorce, so I have no idea how long it will be before I can make any positive changes. Fuck I don’t even know where I’ll be living in 8 months.
Don’t give your TV your wifi password, or an ethernet cable. Turn any cheap “smart tv” into a “cheap tv”. Use your other devices that you already ignored privacy warnings of trust and nobody loses anything.
Buy a chrome cast, fire stick, or roku and stick it in your android TV that isn’t connected to the wifi.
The chrome cast, fire stick, and roku have their own privacy issues associated, but if they were running malware (outside of what we know of those services collecting and selling user data to advertisers) they would have bigger problems.
Study math for long enough and you will likely have cursed Pythagoras’s name, or said “praise be to Pythagoras” if you’re a bit of a fan of triangles....
It is. There’s evidence of its use in the Old Babylonian period, evidence in 1800 B.C.E Egypt, India in 700-500 BCE, China during the Han Dynesty at least.
It’s very simple to prove, and anywhere you find squares or triangles in architecture, it was used.

Anecdotally Ketamine made my medical trauma far worse than it could have been.
I don’t like it when people float ketamine around without the “CAREFUL GUIDENCE OF A PHYSICIAN” because Ketamine can and will have a different response depending on the medication you take and how your genetic metabolism handles it.
For example:
I remembered them cutting into me, then an OBE watching them insert the chest tube, feeling the whole damn thing and seeing mice people.
I had been taking Prozac, a CY2B6 inhibitor. I had normal activity on that. However, I had reduced activity on 3A4, meaning, over all, I wasn’t going to process the ketamine the same.
Basically it just made everything into a horror film for me.
Look at your relationships. Do you desire relationships? Do you put effort into those relationships? Do you find them rewarding, or stressful? Make changes to the ones that are stressful. If they become less stressful, see how that impacts the rest.
Auditory processing + fine motor control is stressful enough, I’d take steps to minimize stressor here if it were me.
In particular, I have to have 0 noise sometimes. I get those big ass power tool ear muffs slide safety goggles on and a bright vest with work gloves. You’d be amazed at how much better you feel with this “armor” on? Or at least that’s what I go with. I like wearing “armor”
No one is going to ask you questions, and if they do, you can make the conversation into one you want , “sorry, I’m on a schedule, I’d really like to get this done,” or “sorry, this is worksite protective gear, and I’m not onsite.” or if your feel brave tell em what it’s for “I wear this so I can go about my day in the same comforts as everyone else, I’d love to tell you what it all does.” That’s at least my plan. I don’t know if it will actually work and now I’m talking myself out of doing this anymore

You just know there is a software engineer in Starfleet who was repeatedly reminding their superiors that leaving the “safety protocol” feature as a user option would end in disaster.
They probably eventually got word of Picard’s debrief from First Contact too, and subsequently shut up about the matter. Innocents were one thing, the borg another, apparently.
I am working with an in-house “rapid development team.” They have rigorous intake, story and task break down, scheduling of sprints, QA, definition of done, integration test coverage, E2E and min 90% unit test coverage etc. etc.
They have a strict policy of “no code comments, self documenting code only.” They will go in and remove comments that my DevOps team puts in there, because it screws up that policy.
Luckily, we adopted the policy of having local branches with these comments in place. Once they move beyond the project, we’re putting them in.
