@irene In our home, we were first introduced to gabapentin as "the thing we have to give our cat before taking her to the vet lest her anxiety spike and she destroy another veterinary assistant." Only years later did we learn it is also a human medicine.
This has led to conversations like this:
Spouse: Can you hand me my gabapentin?
Self: Your what?
Spouse: My gabapentin. That bottle of pills right there. I need to take one.
Self: (no response, looks confused)
Spouse: *sigh* Can you hand me my cat tranquilizers?
Self: Here you go.
@dan You know that future Dan will find a compelling reason, even if present Dan doesn't have one. And why fight the future?
Christopher MimsIn major cities across the US, murder rates are down by an unprecedented double digits in the past year.
Major outlets aren’t writing about it.

US murder rate declines dramatically in 2023 — but you probably haven't heard about it
In 2020, along with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a dramatic spike in murders in the United States. This increase in lethal violence, understandably, was covered extensively in national and local media outlets. Yet, much of this coverage lacked critical context. While the increase in murders was significant, the overall murder rate remained far below its peak in the 1980s and 90s.
@dan There was a lot of interest in that emoji a few years back, but interest has definitely waned. No real reason, it just kind of tapired off.
@irene Can you provide a pointer to a recipe for that egg custard? It looks like it might be a good addition to our savory breakfast options.
@dan A few things for your friend to consider:
He should be prepared for a lot of prayer programming. The Anglican programmers I know usually celebrate morning prayer (Matins Fowler) as well as evening prayer (Compile).
Meals are often taken in common, in silence, one byte at a time.
Design patterns play a large part in the life of the community, often focusing on Creation patterns when studying Genesis, and Proxy and Mediator patterns when reading the gospels.
I wish your friend well.
@xmal that is excellent and makes me smile. Does the curve on the lower wall interfere with your leg room when sitting at the desk?
@descartes In my case, I generally find the word for that to be, "I thought I understood this better..." (there's probably a German grammar rule that will boil that down to a single word, but I'll leave that to someone who knows German)
