oh sorry! i was joking, this doesn't impact me (or anybody) at all

i was googlin web design stuff and i remembered reading about this historical relic back in like... 2004??? and then i thought of a funney post

Hahaaa my ISP is garbage. I doubt they'd let me do that and because I will be moving around often I think I'll just avoid this route.

I appreciate the 2nd vote here. I'm happy they're not good because if they were then I'd have to reconcile that with those gross commercials they had.

ooh i see now. lots of reddit posts on r/webhosting and r/web_design are against EIG as well. i will stay away from them!

Hehe yeah I found a lot of domains of interest to me on Google and scooped them up.

Oh man I can host my own email server if I wanted

Ooh thank you for recommending these to me! Github Pages looks like it's definitely what I'm interested in, and it looks like Linode is exactly what I want. And it's the same price range as HostGator too.

I'll steer clear of HostGator and other such ancient spaghetti systems ;D

yea but is it automatic

does it fly across the room straight to your urethra

big questions

d

do you mean your comment

oh, i was actually complaining haha. i find it difficult to understand examples when they use a lot of good practices, like 1. many constant names. 2. referring to code examples in another file, commit, or branch (vs commenting out alternatives), 3. bogging down code with catching errors, etc.

but that constant you provided makes sense, i wouldn't recognize that number.

ngl i spent a lot of time tryin to think how to google this one

Oo I knew about these! It seems Chinese and Japanese have the same issues with the number 4

ah 413 shows up as a number on its own but it's also often split up (4 suits 13 cards, April 13, 4:13, etc)

source? i thought 413 was only associated with homestuck mythology

like the sadness level from "can't afford a switch" to "laid off and mom died" is a nosedive

then the resolution frame, the sadness from "can't afford a switch" is alleviated, but the sadness from "laid off and mom died" is still there, with the punchline being that... only a small bit of relief happens, and we're experiencing the best part of that

with extra punchline of doge react faces.

i feel bad calling it a "punchline" but it's the best i can do to articulate my original interpretation of this piece

oh there's a whole storyline here? i thought it was a joke with some kind of dark humor that i (thought i) understood but can't articulate.

i fuckin LOVE the developer of this game

they also made Environmental Station Alpha, a metroidvania with a similar spirit but darker tones. it's so so good

oh same. there are a few other neat features i know about (like a tool to help with binary-searching for a specific commit that introduces a bug) but i'd have to google those.

but they don't know how to use those properly is the thing :c and i can't blame them, they're not software engineers, but still, aaaa

Ooh thank you, this is helpful and I appreciate this a lot

oh man i am gettin way more support here than i anticipated

I've not looked too much into it tbh ;0 I should check that out

It is pretty big. Like, it has basketball courts, pools, weight rooms, weight and cardio machines, etc. Crowding in the locker rooms is the worst part tho, they hold maybe 40 people, maybe 80 if people were okay with lots of accidental physical contact.

i'm overexaggerating how bad my form is. i'd def find someone to teach me for free weights or for running, but for the machines, they have instructions on the side.

Not sure, I also don't know if it's enforced? It might be that the gym is HELLA crowded as it is - maybe 200 people max capacity for a ~25k student population. PTs would make that worse I guess??

alas personal trainers are prohibited from the gym i go to (it's a uni gym). i don't think they have their own personal trainers either

oh i know the gym isn't a place just for hypermasculine folks. i need to be excused for ironically engaging in hypermasculinity, as once i get Swolen i will have the opportunity to cosplay as the shining model of masculinity: Dad Egbert
