Oh yeah I got my first vaccine in the last like 20 years today :D

Had a panic attack over the injection until the nurse suggested listening to music

It's very lucky that they didn't let me in when they were inventing chess. All the pieces would have been butter, the board would have been butter and I'd've eaten it all 😋

Q: # Mexican Hat Challenge, #メキシカンハットチャレンジ

The hashtag #メキシカンハットチャレンジ* appeared on my X/twitter feed today. Japanese hackers have been drawing the "Mexican Hat Potential" 3D curve on all sorts of devices. My investigations also found this helpful picture of a guy wearing one of these "hats". The hat shape is generated by the equation $$...

@DannyuNDos Whatever the TDAP covers

Themoonisacheese

tetanus diphteria ??? polio surely

i can't tell what the A is supposed to be

maybe it's autism, to ensure the vaccines doesn't give it to you :3

a="and"?

p is pertussis

Unrelated String

13:43

Looking it up... I'm still not getting a straight answer but maybe it's for acellular? because the pertussis vaccine included is specifically an acellular pertussis vaccine

@Bbrk24 (...I forget if I've mentioned this before but my dad is hardcore anti-vax and I've been free from him for like less than 5 months)

Yeahhh

Thanks

I mean that barely even makes the top 5 of what made him awful to live with

but I can't say it isn't related either :P

Like, for a while he'd rely on me to make him go on like a 2 mile walk every other night (usually around 1 or 2 AM) because he refused to find the motivation otherwise (and instead would tell me I have to do this so he doesn't die. Don't threaten me with a good time), and that in and of itself would have been fine if it didn't mean being his captive audience for an hour

Eventually it got so bad that I was staying up until like 4 or 5 AM just procrastinating on it until I was legitimately too sleepy to do it

because he'd just talk my ear off about the most random conspiracy bullshit and expect me to prove I'm paying attention

I love security questions where clearly no fucks were given. Like I remember making an account on a website for k-12 students where one of the options was "where was your wedding reception"

Sylvester's extension of Kirkman's schoolgirls problem The "schoolgirls problem" posed and answered by Kirkman in 1850 is: "Fifteen young ladies in a school walk out three abreast for seven days in succession: it is required to arrange them daily so that no two shall walk twice abreast."

@Ginger I think the worst thing was the general lack of independence, the second worst thing was the way we relied on each other to cover for our executive dysfunction, the third worst thing was the misogyny, and the fourth worst thing was the fearmongering over racial violence. So yeah that actually is just barely #5

Unrelated String

17:55

(also funny story about the misogyny: my mom and sister knew how bad he was overall, but they had NO idea how bad he was with that. He’s always been good at filtering himself to not outright make enemies out of people, so he probably figured that women would not take kindly to those sentiments

…and I for one struggled so hard with internalizing them that I think that was a way bigger obstacle to my egg cracking than the actual transphobia)

Is Anders Kaseorg the cleverest person ever to post answers here or just the current cleverest? There is a lot of IQ going into his answers.

@UnrelatedString I believe it's just "and", given that DTaP also exists (variant for infants which covers the same diseases)

Wouldn't be surprised if it's "and" for one and an actual word for the other tho

Q: Output 97th charecter of the ASCII tabble (or "a") without using strings and numbers

The task is very simple. Just write "a" (or the 97th charecter of the ASCII table) with no numbers or strings

code-golf

@NewPosts I think we need a site-specific VTC reason for unobservable requirements.

Chat help how do you communicate to someone you're not interested in them

I should just go straight for the jugular and be like "I'm so happy to have this opportunity to expand my professional network"

Loudly mention your (non-existent) BOYFRIEND

rydwolf

Ugh I'm starting to understand aro people

@emanresuA "he's in Canada you wouldn't know him"

Like idk the closer I get to an actual relationship the less desirable it seems irl

Maybe I just need to meet the right person or whatever. I kind of held out hope that that would obviously happen easily at CMU since people would be "more like me" in some general sense but I actually like...don't really have any crushes on anyone up here, other than a half dozen or so people who I think are attractive and cool, but idk if I would actually want to be in a relationship with

Well okay there is this one guy but he's probably straight and also he's two years older than me
