Yeah, like others have said, play them in order starting with 1. If you play them backwards or out of order, you aren't very likely to finish the first one, maybe the second, the first is kind of a slog, but worth playing. This way they just get better each time you go to the next

Now let me see you write an ampersand!

I get what you're saying, but it's not a black and white situation. Drugs and porn are not the same category. One will have life-changing effects, the other usually won't.

Plus, parents have the ability to mostly control a child's access to inappropriate content, as well as tobacco shops.

It applies in the real world and the Internet on a case by case basis depending on the inherent dangers of the content.

I really, really hate TikTok for a lot of reasons, but strongly believe they should not ban it.

Then they'll target OSHA saying they're trying to keep honest workers from doing their job, a liberal construct designed for lazy people.

I've worked construction for 8 years and employers don't honestly care about following OSHA standards, they only care about getting caught. I've made reports before and nothing happens because they lie about conditions or dress it up. And I was in a union as well.

Responsibility for access to adult content needs to fall to the parents of minors, not the companies. I'm so exhausted seeing parents responsibilities being shirked and placed onto other entities/people.

My son, 7, gets so upset with me and my wife because we are so unfair, because we don't let him do/watch/play things his friends do. He's 7, he doesn't need to be playing Call of Duty, he doesn't need to be watching inappropriate content, he doesn't need access to TikTok, and so on. I'm forcing my kid to be alienated from his friends because the other parents are allowing children to access things they should not be accessing.

I'm getting all worked up on my soap box, sorry. That wasn't necessary.

Yeah and YouTube joined in a while back with image and text posts

Funny the sponsor of this bill is the president and owner of a lawn and landscaping company. I imagine he's probably mad he has to pay his workers fair wages and just wants more money in his pockets.

If a company hires you and you live 90 minutes from a job, that company damn well should pay for your trips. You can agree not to, and that's fine, but workers should expect to be paid for long commutes which are work related.

I spent 3 hours on the road 5+ days a week for 8 years and never got a cent for it, and when my vehicles crapped out the companies didn't give a crap.

You're exactly right. I didn't read the article yet, but you can build a to do list app in a handful of minutes if you know your way around. I'm still green as a coder, but have been through dozens of tutorials, one of which was a simple to do list in JavaScript. I managed to complete it in about an hour. Seeing that someone thinks it takes weeks to do, that makes me wonder about them.

I have been in the same boat. I have no friends, but a wife and kid. Life sucks a big one, especially work and the work-life balance, and finances, etc.

The only thing that helps me is medicine. I'm on a cocktail of Dextroamphetamine for ADD, Lamotrigine for Bipolar Disorder, and Propranolol for anxiety. I'm still far from 100%, but I'm in the more positive side of the fence.

Talking about problems can help a lot of people, and that's great to have a therapist, but it doesn't work for me. Talking about stuff doesn't change my circumstances, neither does my mindset. Definitely discuss issues with a doctor and medicate. Nothing else has helped me deal with the shit in life.

Somewhere between English and Sumerian

 

I tried posting to the Minecraft subreddit, but the post would get deleted immediately. I just want to show someone!

It's mostly silent, minus the dispensers clicking and occasional water splash, but it's much smoother than a flying machine, and not to terribly slow, rising at a little over 2 blocks per second. It's a good way to transport things vertically

 

I have a couple sites on Google and since they sold to square space I thought I'd try to keep my stuff there. But I can't figure it out. Square space is a site builder with a GUI and I can't find anywhere to just deploy my site to them as a react app. I have found a few areas where I can add some code, but they are for specific areas of the provided templates. I've even tried to use developer mode, but it looks like you still need to follow their template rules to get anywhere.

It's been a huge headache, Google made it so easy.

 

My son loves the adrenaline rush of getting scared, particularly with jump scares, however, I have a lot of difficulty finding a game or show which is appropriate for him. He is prone to nightmares, and more adult-oriented "kid horror" is too much (Poppy's Playtime, Cartoon Cat?) And others like Siren Head. His peers exposed him to those things and made my own nights pretty sleepless for a while.

It's a tough plate to fill, but surely there's gotta be something. He's played Luigi's Mansion and got a kick out of that. That game would be a good example I suppose.

Thanks for any suggestions!

 

I know I'm playing this very late. Anyway I was pretty deep in a certain cave (1,200 ft) with a leviathan and I was taking care of some stowaways on the hull of the sub. Thinking it'd be more fun to use the cannon instead of the knife, I blasted away. A couple seconds later I watched in horror as all my lockers clip through the cyclops and sink to the bottom.

The leviathan would attack on every pass and the lockers would either get blasted away even farther apart or respawn entirely. In the end, they all despawned... I was working on building a base with a platform shield over top so I could collect everything again, but it all went poof.

Luckily, I saved within the last 30 minutes... But if I hadn't have, I would have lost all the resources (about 40+ lockers full) and I probably would have just quit the game lol.

 

I have looked at Google Cloud Run, Microsoft Azure and Kamatera so far. These are free trials, and I deleted and removed all projects after playing with them.

I am working on a chatting application for my portfolio. I'm using MERN to create the app and I can run it locally and connect to the local server with any device on the network. Before I got into this I didn't realize setting up a cloud server was going to be so confusing, and that's after trying to watch tutorials on youtube and going through documentation.

On google, people have talked about VM Instances, (Bare Metal Solution?) Servers, networks, VPC's, VPC Networks, serverless VPC, etc. and I have explored all of these things and I just don't understand why it's so hard to get a node.js file running somewhere remote.

Microsoft Azure and Kamatera were pretty much the same experience.

I'm not the smartest or faster person, I've got cognitive issues, but if anyone can kind of give me some simple steps or explanations to get me started in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

I don't need a complete write-up or guide, just a push in the right direction for my specific project, which is just getting my node.js code somewhere so the client can connect to through it. I think?
