@waldoj I had pretty bad gallbladder attacks when I was 30 years old. They told me to have it removed. I worked with a chiropractor specializing in gastro issues, who after some trial and error figured I had developed a milk allergy. I can have cheese, butter, and some ice cream once in a while, but oat milk on cereal and in coffee. No problems since. No other changes to diet. No gallbladder surgery. Allergic reaction caused bile duct to swell shut.

Consider, it might just be the milk.

@Meyerweb I mistyped that once, it is kind of fascinating* to watch a Linux machine die like Hal trying to sing “Daisy” as all of its files are erased.

*But not for very long.

@NanoRaptor even back then, Apple loved introducing new cabling standards, which was fine until you couldn’t find your L-shaped SCSI terminator.
@scott I dunno, haven’t been to Portland in years, but it is the only place I ever had a driver stop and wait for me in a busy area when I clearly (as a pedestrian) did not have the right of way. It was helpful at the time because my glasses were broken and I was effectively blind. Drivers there were generally super nice.
@octothorpe @glennf that’s not how I read the invoice, it looks like he reserved a subcompact and was billed as such but what they gave him was the EV. Is that right?
@carlmalamud I try to tip extra if possible at
an open bar, figuring I am making up for the 90% of folks who won’t.
@kevinrothrock Big if true.
@foreignpolicy There are always elements of rhyme in foreign policy as history unfolds, but the fundamental premise of this article is simply wrong. Reagan’s Cold War policy was focused on challenging and containing the Soviet Union, pushing it until it broke, while holding fast to our allies. Trump’s policies consist of telling Vladimir Putin he can do whatever he wants, and abandoning every alliance we have built up since WW2.
@glennf at a breakfast event several years ago, some one came up to our table and pointed at an open seat. “Hi, I’m so-and-so, do you mind if I join you? I’m from Senator Hawley’s office.” Me: “hey, nobody’s perfect, but you can sit here anyway.”
