This morning's traffic was a nightmare with the first snow, surprisingly. There were at least three accidents each on three major roadways in my county so I decided that I would work from home, so did my hubby. He went in later when traffic calmed down. I'm in northeast US so snow is not new lol
i'm just surprised it got that bad
decided to get my winter tires on but it took about an hour and half at the auto store so I got lots of reading done... :P
 
Em C
Em C
oh yuck. we're supposed to get snow here tomorrow..
 
ElizB
ElizB
right now, i'm prepping for class tomorrow. i had my first hot cocoa of the season a little while ago :D plus me and hubby did a major clean up in the apartment so that feels good.
Same here. Winter Storm Avery :P First one of many, and it's somewhat earlyish but not surprising
 
Em C
Em C
heck yeah, hot cocoa :D
 
ElizB
ElizB
oh and after a few phone calls and waiting most of the day, I got my prescription filled... the insurance said they wouldnt fill it until the 20th but it's hormonal stuff so I said no i cant wait that long so my doctor overrided that haha
this is pretty cool to watch and funny

deep purple with elastic on the palms and flowers on the back of the hand

that sounds pretty :)
 
ElizB
ElizB
1:37 AM
it's not as nicely knit as yours but it's very useful for driving when I don't want to touch that freezing cold steering wheel
 
Em C
Em C
definitely! the elastic is a really good idea too, that way they stay nice and snug
 
ElizB
ElizB
it's somewhat snug, but it's stretching more on the top these days. still, very nice pair.
Other than that i'm not looking forward to the cold snap that's incoming/already here
but i can at least say i'm ready
dang it. Tried to throw my empty seltzer bottle into the recycling and it bounced off the edge 😂

@Noon I am every now and then participating in LAN events. It is a quite connected community across the whole country (probably the same in other countrys, too) So there is one event I really enjoyed most. It is called "LAN Resort" which is actually a LAN party, hosted in a Centerparks Resort. I liked it very much cause they just rent a huge area of the park and every team or group rents into one of the buildings which the Hosts just connect with each other.

So not a huge hall where you are non stop exposed to weird people but you allways have your 4 walls you can escape to where you just …

@ElizB No problem, I didn't expected you to be awake (you are usually not here at this time of the day)
@avazula The OP isn't confortable with saying the truth so, I would say that isn't really an answer.
 
avazula
avazula
@Noon Yeah. I DVed and flagged that answer but I don't feel entirely satisfied with the edit attempted; I don't think it solves the issue. I may have to reply again then.
 
Noon
Noon
@avazula Oops, was reading an other answer ^^' So, for this one, it still lakes details IMO
 
avazula
avazula
12:46 PM
@Noon yup
 
Noon
Noon
@avazula I actually edited the question to remove the "is it rude" part so it wasn't intented as a frame-challenge but, in any case, it really lacks back-up (you do put an "?" after the "Frame challenge" because you aren't sure about what you should do, right?)
 
avazula
avazula
@Noon Well, as is, this answer stands as a FC, but IMO it's lacking backup indeed, hence the question mark
 
Noon
Noon
@dhein Related to your anecdote, are you able to "fake" facial expression (I am)? Because that might be a way for deaf people with autism to make other understand that there is a question.
 
dhein
dhein
@Noon: I am not sure if I am. In some situations I feel like being meanwhile very good in that, while in other situations, it just makes others miss my point so far, that I just feel like the times I am good in it might just be coincidence. But still I assume I am good in it.
Maybe the focus I had on using the right signs and remembering on the right words for the sign language made me focus so much on that, that my facial expressions just transported garbage, tho.
 
Noon
Noon
@dhein That seem plausible

@Noon You're really a treasure :)
I was wondering, are you the one generating all those VTCs towards "is it rude" questions? I don't know why, but it sounds like something you would do haha

And yeah, I'm the one who generate all those VTC, I like doing cleanup when I'm bored :P

Yeap, I'm the author of the "Is It Rude Raid" in the "Check Old Questions Battle" of the "Cleanup War"

@avazula I kind of like php :( But the one about CSS isn't that bad... until you try to do what they said in it :P
 
avazula
avazula
@Noon hehe, right :p
I never did php ... it just sounds awful and now we can use other languages to build websites, so ... I managed to avoid learning it until now :p

@Cashbee No, one book wasn't enought :P
 
avazula
avazula
1:27 PM
@Noon hahaha
 
Noon
Noon
@avazula The problem with php, IMO, is that you can do awfull things with it. So, if you have to read some else code in php, you can easily ending up hating this person who, really, had no ideo on how to code properly
 
Cashbee
Cashbee
you can do too much "hacking" with php. (I call making ugly code and quickfixes hacking)
if the goal is that 'it works', then sure go ahead and do it with php

Also, as much as I hated the guy from past experiences, that's kind of a harsh thing to call someone at work now that I understand it better. :-P
