  • Basic gun safety states to know your target and what lies beyond it. Even a simple .45 has the potential to go through a camera, wall, and into a person, meaning that a perfect shot still has a non-zero chance of your bullet taking out a person or ruining someone’s day.

    Using one of the first gun types displays foresight and consideration that I’d desire in a politician. The second type indicates a reckless figure who is uninformed about the tools and power that they wield, and doesn’t embody the values of a politician I’d trust.

    It’s not enough to take action and be a badass; it’s important to also show that you’ll at least try to keep your constituents safe.






  • I’ve had to escort my wife to an embarrassing number of doctor’s appointments just so they’d take her symptoms seriously. Just her symptoms, not even her, the patient! Those are the appointments where I almost always end up impatiently telling the doctor, “don’t tell me, tell her,” or, “don’t ask me, ask her! She’s the patient,” because they’ll try to talk to me the whole time.

    Here’s the same thing I tell my wife: blood tests are literally the least a doctor can do while still technically treating you. If your doctor is not putting their hands on you, thinking for more than a few seconds before responding, looking up your symptoms, suggesting specialists, or naming possible treatments to try out, then they’re not really listening to you. If your doctor isn’t listening to you or can’t think of a cause, ask to see a specialist.

    Also, if you trust that your doctor is listening to you and is trying their best, then consider seeing a physical therapist, performing a sleep study, and a neurologist. I’d start with the PT and go somewhere that is cool with doing general assessments rather than requiring doctor’s orders. They might even refer you to a neurologist. Schedule your sleep study and just follow through with that. If your insurance doesn’t cover sleep studies, online CPAP companies will often roll the cost of your sleep study into your CPAP.





  • Something fish, something fin? I forget what it’s called, but there was some integration I found for, like, $2/month(?) and it worked pretty well from what I remember. I think this was around 2 or 3 years ago.

    Every few years, I try installing Actual Budget, and have my wife compare it to how she uses YNAB, just to see if we can finally make the switch to fully self-hosted. Plus YNAB has become obsessed with new features and new customers while ignoring many of the issues that still haunt those with legacy knowledge of the platform. All while continuing to raise the price.

    That’s truly fascinating to me. I get excited about anyone willing to play Halo 3 with me, cuz I’m the one who sticks grenades to themselves and chases other players. I always figured that classified me as a bad player, but maybe “dipshit” is a different category.
