- Comment on YSK that the recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA. 95% of the country does not meet this amount. 3 months ago:
But that first purge feels so healthy though!
- Comment on how did "step" porn become so popular when we did such a good job keeping scat and insest porn out of the mainstream for so long 9 months ago:
Not challenging just clarifying; Is your speculation extending to suggest that the larger demographic of porn consumers online are adolescents? Or more that the “step-*” joining the family set a longer term influence? (Or something else entirely…?)
- Comment on If a question is downvoted on !nostupidquestions, is the question too stupid or was it not stupid enough? 9 months ago:
I appreciate your work. (sincerely)

They did, and I quote:
As to comments/criticisms on the tone/style, Yeah, corporate videos are corporate videos!” the company then said, adding a shrug emoji.
- Comment on Why isn't a wired mouse connected through the keyboard? 11 months ago:
Googling everything gets boring though. I learned something today from your question :)

From the health.com link that references this article includes edibles
Previous studies have suggested that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the molecule responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis, acts on receptors that are found in the central nervous system and in the heart and blood vessels. This interaction between THC and blood vessels may provide a pathway for cannabis to promote inflammation and the buildup of plaque, ultimately leading to CAD. The same effects would not necessarily be expected with the use of cannabidiol (CBD), another active ingredient in cannabis and hemp that is commonly extracted for products that do not contain THC.
So you are indeed correct. To a point. The ICU observation doesn’t minimize the risks of cannabis but provides a perspective on the prevalence of the issue, and the tone in your responses is likely behind the downvotes you are lamenting.
Regardless, thank you for sharing the links, they were helpful.

I hope you don’t mind my asking; what’s the nature of the peer pressure to participate you’re facing?
- Comment on Any recommendations for a career change? 11 months ago:
Not necessarily the direction you had in mind - for whatever it may be worth; I’m studying to become a HVAC technician.
I’m nearly 30 years into my tech career. After 3 months of the rigmarole of trying to get a new role post layoff, I’ve decided to throw in the hat. Love tech and comp sci, cannot face another asinine call about “non-regrettable attrition”, “more with less”, “right way to do scrum” — nor solve a pangram, design a parking garage or other leet code challenges just to get 2 hours into a 9 hour interview cycle. I’m so dammed tired. And apparently needed a little rant. Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do next!

That’s annoying! It’s not been my experience, out of curiosity do you have any theories why your domain/aliases got blocked?
- Comment on What benefits do you get for being on-call? - programming.dev 1 year ago:
Yeah, it’s not bad at all. For context, I’m Senior Staff with > 25yrs experience living in a HCOL area, so it’s on the low side. Honestly I’m fine with the base, it’s the casual indifference to the inconvenience, and there’s something about the “cheapness” of the way it’s rewarded that niggles me. Not terrible, not great!

My employer is suuuper generous. I get a “shout out” on Slack, and if it’s a big incident my slack profile photo appears on a slide at the company all-hands and the CEO graciously extends his thanks. Sometimes he might even say my name!
I’m on call every 3rd week, no cap on time, usually 3 to 5 people (cross teams). base salary $175k US, no RSUs or 401(k).
I want a new job but not getting many resume bites at the moment.
