As a father of two daughters, I'm convinced the writers of Bluey have cameras in my house /s. There are so many times we have had a similar experience to one of the episodes. As my kids are now older than Bluey and Bingo, they sti

Are you implying that marriage is, somehow, the end state of relationship building? I can assure you it does not end at marriage.

I don't see anything in here that I would call a "How-To Guide." This reads mostly like an ad for LinkedIn and then they threw in a very poor ChatGPT reference at the end to hit the keywords.

Like several others have posted here you are in a great position to make some very simple changes that will have big results. If you're looking for reading resources I found "Working Effectively with Legacy Code" by Michael F

Maybe link to an about page. Dropping me straight to a login/create account is off putting. I'm sure it's a fun and interesting game but I want to know something about the content before forking over bits of PII.

We've used Slim for most things these days. I love it for its lightweight, standards based approach. I can grab PSR compliant libraries from Symphony or Laravel and usually drop them in with not too much effort. PHP: Slim Framework

I used NetZero for a summer by setting up a dumb dialer machine that shared its network connection to the rest of the house. The dumb dialer autoconnected to NetZero when outbound traffic was detected and since there was no monitor plugged

My team has been using the Slim Framework for years and it has servered us well. It is a microframework and follows most of the PSR standards so it is possible to replace libraries with relative ease. https://www.slimframework.c

Agreed and agreed. I actually interviewed someone who had jumped from both previous employers in an 8 month time frame. In the interview he was very negative to both those groups and wanted to tell me why his ideas where so much better. My

I have to think this is mostly due to modern toy factories and their standard tooling. You'd probably have a hard time finding a factory that could mass produce the old toy because that's just not how toys are made today.

Maybe this is more accurate. "Hard times create weak men, weak men create hard times" I've never believed that adversity creates strength, at least that has not been my experience in life.

That CW McCall line from Convoy brings back some serious memories. Talk about old hobbies. When I was about 9 I found an 8-track of his and fell in love with that song. I spent much of that summer buying stereo equipment at garage sales to

Wow that's a thing I had forgotten about. I had an original iMac at the time and built a mouse mover and random site loader to trick the system. I think I made about $25 total because they shutdown shortly after that.

I use this Amex card for everything, the 6% back on groceries is great and more than pays for the cards higher fee. The last two years we've capped out the 6k max which is $350 right there. Bonus, the card is clear plastic which everyo
