Possible and around right age but I don't know... I've done stupid stuff also and am a man.
Like one night I was overworked and tired and just said I'll buy McDonald's for dinner. I went in drive thru, placed my order, paid, got my change, and it wasn't till I got home that I noticed I never actually got the food...
Years ago when I was a late teen and living at my mother's, she was at work as a cashier. She called my one morning and this was the conversation : Mom - do me a favor, go into my bedroom my phone should be on the nightstand. Can you grab it and bring it to me?
Me - you're at work on break right?
Mom - yeah
Me - how are you calling me?
Mom - silence
Mom - nevermind, I have it....
An irrational percentage for an irrational tarrif... Its fitting
I've told this story before but years ago(probably 2 if not 3 decades ago) I liked a song where a guy made sounds like "ohh bada bada bop ba" instead of actually singing. The only real line he sang that I remembered was "I'm the scat man"... So I went on to kazza, yes this was that long ago, and found a video called "scat man" and downloaded it... I hope I don't have to explain it was NOT a music video!
From my experience with a fortune 500 company, it's about using that money in the time span between checks. So say you have 100,000 in weekly paychecks due, if you invest that in a week you will technically make more than if you didn't(probably, maybe not this week)

Funny story of the at one about 10 years ago I rented a room in a house with these two old(60+) alcoholics. We split the cable/internet bill, normally it was $270 a month ($90 per person). At the time I was about to move across the country and was doing business trips back and and forth. This month I was there for about 1 week. The cable bill came in and it was close to a grand.
They wanted me to pay $350 and I said no! I called the cable company and asked why it was so high. They said it was from like 14 porn movies being purchased all from one cable box(I never even unboxed mine) over a week end. They gave me the serial of the box and I checked all the boxes. I found out who it was, I payed my $90 dollars and told them to figure out the rest. I moved out the end of the next month, never did learn what happened to the bill(wasn't in my name thankfully).

I agree and haven't returned but lemmy hasn't hit critical mass yet.... Like I don't recall a post with over a hundred replies. Reddit used to have over a thousand on every reply on the first page.
Never read that thread on r/askalawyer... Or did I?
The irony of pointing this out when there is literally one less hour of the weekend this weekend...
Yes but for example for seizures I want a simple form, not having to type in entries. Especially for siezures, it's normally a busy event of caring for him, having to add a seizure taking more than a minute means it probably won't be used.
Both good suggestions, thanks for the ideas
I didn't know they had free tiers... I'll look into it
Hmm...i do have a raspberry pi that isn't being used... Since it's asp.net should be Linux compatible... Not a bad idea
Well it's also a learning project as through a series of events I am technically a software developer in job title who got thrown into a c# code base with databases after doing a python boot camp for 9 weeks and have no mentor to tell me what I'm doing wrong on professional projects.

How can I host a small api/database accessable from a phone app as cheap/easily as possible?
So background, my kid has seizures often. He is currently on 5 different medications to try to control it(plus 1 for sleeping and 1 for his liver enzymes) plus severe non verbal autism so he can't tell us if he already had his meds. Currently when it's medication time, it's always "did you give him his meds yet?" and we have no way of tracking how many seizures he actually has besides "alot more recently" or "it's gone down recently". Yes he had multiple doctors and this is NOT a post looking for health advice.
I am creating an app for phones(c# Maui) which will send json objects to a api to store/retrieve data in a database(when he last had medication x, when he has a seizure etc). It will probably only be used with in my family, maybe 20 entries a day on a really bad day(7 medications twice daily + 6 seizures to give a round number) but should be less then 10 transactions(most medications given at same time).
What's the cheapest/easiest was I can host something like this? I do no
And x-ray technicians. If your ehs representative say there are too many rads.... RUN!
I agree with "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" that said before I get beheaded by lemmy.. No on has nothing they don't want public. Maybe you drink too much, maybe you're pregnant, maybe you are in debt, maybe you have a ex lover you are try to keep away from. Everyone has something to hid but most governments don't give a shit (corporations may but that's a different topic).
That said if a key to a door exists it will be made public. They reason why keys work is there is 10000+ of them. Odds are the keys to my apartment aren't identical to yours. That said if a universal key was made the idea of locking your doors is irreverent. Because eventually that key will be public, you boss may see your apartment, your mother may, your ex girlfriend may etc.
This like tell lock makers to make a universal key that will open any locked door. Yes it may help investigators if they have a suspicion of who did it(and are willing to break the 4th amendment) but who else may it help?
Wait, so fish inhale water... Some process takes place separating the water and oxygen atoms and then they exhale the carbon dioxide and hydrogen out their gills? Or am I still completely wrong?
Very interesting thanks... Now to do more research because this has buged me

People complain that it's poor design that humans eat and breath through the same pipe(throat). Are there any animals which don't though?
The only possible exceptions I can think of are fish(I imagine gills and mouth are not connected but don't really know). I am excluding bacteria and viruses and I believe they don't really breath(correct me if I'm wrong).
Atleast on America that is by law if publicly traded. Let's say a company discovers something that amazing, say cure for cancer and decides they are going to give it out for free for the benefit of mankind. They can be sued and will likely lose. Only real defense would be they thought the goodwill from giving away for free would earn the shareholders more money through goodwill towards the company. A smaller scale version of this would be like a farm raising animals in non-optimal conditions (for profit but nicer to the animals like free-range instead of cages). They could argue the customers will be willing to pay a premium for that.
If not publicly traded they can do whatever they want. If governmental they should have a goal or mission statement that states what their intent is(usually it's not profit) but if it's publically traded legally their only motive is profit to the shareholders.

Is there a programming specific distro?
I know there choice of distro is really meaningless as you can install almost any program on almost any distro. But I have been playing with kali which is for security people and pen testers. Is there a similar distro for programmers? Like a few ides installed some profiling tools some virtual environment tools etc?

Why is the current temperature sometimes lower than today's low temperature? For example right now it 13F with a predicated low today of 16F!



Does C# (or any other languages) have an official style guide like python has pep8?

Weird bug/feature on pixel 6 I just discovered
I don't know why this is a thing but if I tap the back of my pixel 6 three times in rapid succession it begins to play my audio book on audible.
From what I can tell audible has to be open but doesn't need to be the app on the screen(for example I can start and stop it while typing this post). Also the phone has to be "on" (meaning the screen is displaying but doesn't need to be unlocked.
Is this just my phone or dies it happen on other people's phone too?
