That’s what I like about Ruby ORMs. They did all the conversion for you, and you could have SQLite on your dev box, Postgres on the test server and MySQL on the annoying production host that wouldn’t run anything else.
This was 18 years ago though.
Strawberry rhubarb with mostly rhubarb. Two crusts, nine of that crumble garbage and a big lump of vanilla ice cream on top.
It was 5°F (-15°C) out. She would stand up and turn away when I opened the door to let her in. Then lay back down to watch us from outside after I closed it. The snow was so deep that The wind chill -5–10° probably wasn’t really affecting her at least.
They have the badminton rackets for knocking apples out of a wild apple tree across the field. We made a surprisingly tasty apple crisp with instant oatmeal and some vutter on the fire that night.
This guy used to live near me:
That’s all hand painted, no vinyl wraps here!
The Trump team thought he was gonna pull more votes from the Dems. But it turns out he was mostly the same kind of crazy as the Trumpets and was at best splitting the votes evenly. Then Harris showed up and now that even vote split could doom Trump.
His dad died from it too.
He also didn’t have the stress that would come from actual failure with no money.
Bankruptcy, homelessness and real poverty fuck up your ability to succeed in a vastly underrated way.
Yup lawyers who take these kinds of cases that are easy wins, do it on contingency. If they don’t think you have a good case they tell you, and then charge you hourly.
If you owe the bank half a billion dollars, it’s the bank’s problem right?
Sounds like the banks don’t want this problem.
Hatred is the only part of these people’s platform.
Maybe she should resign then. We’d all be happy to let her instantly fade into obscurity.
I’d argue it’s both freedom and dependence.
If you live in a rural area it really does feel like you are trapped there without a motorized vehicle. Especially late at night or in an emergency, even an ambulance can be 20+ minutes away in many places.
You can see this with the popularity of over powered e-bikes with teens. Basically silent dirt bikes at this point. They let kids go much farther from home and reduce the speed differential on road sides.
Public transit would be nice of course, but lots of people live 20-50km from any stores, and plenty live further. And have long cold winters.
I commuted by bike and subway for 18 years in Boston, but then moved home to care for dementia parents, now my son is biking (just pedals), and we’re forced to ride on paths or one town over where they have wide sidewalks and crossings (there aren’t either in our 2 stoplight town). Btw my commute took twice as long by public transport than by bike, but that’s another issue.
Like everything else, it’s a gray area, I think the US could realistically reduce vehicle use to the 40%s, but to go much lower would require the elimination of sprawl, building denser housing and a ton more local shopping, doctors, and grocery stores. Not just more trains and buses.
/end rant, sorry it got long, nuance is tricky.
