@scohe001 I already have all wood-counter tops :p And what I am going to do well ... kids?
I mean 5 bedrooms isn't that much ... one for the couple, one for each kid (we plan on having two so that makes it 3), and then we'll both have an office which is great given that I work remotely fairly often and also because I craft a lot and therefore I need space xD
so yeah, they'll all be used eventually. Just not all of a sudden. Which is great because I'm not planning on having kids right away, just somewhere in the next half decade
A hamlet is a small or very small human settlement. In different jurisdictions and geographies, a hamlet may be the size of a town, village or parish, or may be considered to be a smaller settlement or subdivision or satellite entity to a larger settlement. The word and concept of a hamlet have roots in the Anglo-Norman settlement of England, where the old French hamlet came to apply to small human settlements. In British geography, a hamlet is considered smaller than a village and distinctly without a church or other place of worship (e.g. one road or a crossroads, with houses either side)....

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/342283/… < Read that, please (if you have the spoons). Magisch really put into words what a few of us MSE mods have tried, but kinda failed at. Beware of the responses though.
Also, I believe this hasn't been shared here yet: For those people that are angry and looking for something to do... twitter.com/gortok/status/1217437011876945920?s=20 < There's a fundraiser going on for Shog9. Throw your money at it, angrily ;)
@JAD I have queries that select objects where the filter condition looks for a unique identifier. So basically I can only get either 0 or 1 results. I was wondering whether it'd be best to add 'LIMIT 1' to my select queries or to fetch only one result from the transaction cursor?
My guess is that they're equivalent methods but I was wondering whatcha think
@JAD Idk if I can get an execution plan from psycopg for both a query and cursor manipulations
@JAD It's a unique index
@JAD : "When "id" is a UNIQUE column (or an INTEGER PRIMARY KEY), then there is only going to be a single row of output, regardless of whether or not the LIMIT 1 is used. So the answer is the same either way.
As you conjecture, there is a small amount of overhead involved in processing the "LIMIT 1" clause."
So I guess it's just overhead and I should stick to cur.fetchone() then
@Tinkeringbell I'm surprise at how easily people "here" do fundraising. Also, I haven't that much spoon, so I haven't really read Magish question, but it's basically saying: "be nice, show that we aren't toxic or we are doomed", right?
@Mithical I'm not saying this for the Internet points, I shared because I think it's important to counterbalance the most upvoted, all disagreeing options. There's always at least two versions of a story.
And of course I wasn't encouraging you to upvote without reading (@Ælis) :p
@Mithical If you are the one saying the most intelligent stuff, I do want your answer to be at the top of the pile, even if you gain no rep point with it
I think fundraising is a bit more common in the US (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), given that the social security and health care there are so much worse than over here.
I see quite the amount of tweets for basic things like paying rent, gas money, or food, for example.
@avazula @Mithical I read your answer. I must say, I would have been less harsh with SE. But I read part of the other answers and I upvoted yours because you seem to be the calmest voice around here
As a teen, I was a cashier in a big supermarket from a chain. I've experienced customers shouting at me over stuff I had no influence over. Their anger was justified and there was nothing I could do, yet I had to be polite and apologize to these people. Those people were the worst aspect of my job. I will not become one of those people. I'm with @Mithical, I will not shout at 'SE', because the people reading it are most likely not responsible and probably want the situation changed too.
@Belle I completely agree with this... However. Isn't that super unfair that we evolve in a hierarchical system where the people who make others angry/disappointed/discriminated are completely separate from the people whom are yelled at?
@Ælis I'm currently listening to the audiobook version of Royal Assassin read by Paul Boehmer and it's fantastic. Paul has everyone's voices down so well!
I tried reading the books in English, but I couldn't really get into them (I've read them all in Dutch). But the audiobook is amazing.

@Tinkeringbell If you want you can shamelessly ping me tonight so that I take it a look. Or you can give me a TL;DR which will make me upvote without even reading the answer :p

Think of it as 'people that visit a playground' vs. 'people that provide a playground to visit' and 'people that build playground equipment'. The last one is SE. The first one is solely users. The middle one is a bit of SE (the playground) but also the people that are already on the playground showing how fun it is?
But secretly the providers of the playground hate kids and just want to sell coffee to their parents. They're not interested in hearing what the kids have to say. They just want the kids to shut up and play while the parents (those that bring in the money) drink their coffee
@JAD XD Well, providing a good playground will get the kids out of your hair and the parents to drink their coffee in peace ;) Just like any analogy, it can go any way you want :P
I do like the one about booze and soda. I should've gone for booze and soda ;)
I read in my physics book that when we use a spoon and vibrate a glass, the pitch should be according to the air column inside. So, less filled the glass, longer the air column and lesser the frequency according to frequency = 1/4*( v/l) formula. But when I tried to do it practically I found the glass which has the least amount of water sounds shriller meaning high frequency. Why so? Am I doing something wrong in my exp? Here is a link where this person does the same experiment but she does not explain the physics
The dhoti, also known as panche, vesti, dhuti, mardani, chaadra, dhotar, panchey, is a traditional men's garment worn in the Indian subcontinent. It is a rectangular piece of unstitched cloth, usually around 4.5 metres (15 ft) long, wrapped around the waist and the legs and knotted at the waist.
== Etymology ==
The word dhoti is derived from dhauti (Sanskrit: धौती), meaning to "cleanse or wash". In the context of clothing, it simply refers to the cleansed garment which was worn as part of everyday attire The dhoti evolved from the ancient antriya which was passed through the legs, tucked at the...
@Rainbacon I have female friends who made their partner change their entire wardrobe. I mean, I don't necessarily think that Mr Ava's clothes suit him beautifully, but that seems like it's none of their business ...
At least that's what I've been told. Shoot, I should have realized way sooner I wasn't straight, all I cared for as a kid was yellow and crossdressing!
@avazula Mrs Bacon always makes me change out of shorts if we're leaving the apartment. She's under the impression that it's poor manners to leave the house dressed like you're going to the gym
@CaldeiraG Unfortunately, the only Portuguese I speak are the few Spanish words I know (it's like 10 of them) which also happen to be Portuguese words with the same meaning
@Magisch Yeah, but that's not news to me. I live in a country where our leader communicates primarily through tweets that are filled with poor grammar and nonsense words
My office is so empty today. The only other person here is the office manager, and she sits in a different room, so I'm basically alone. It's kind of nice. I'm able to work in whatever way is most comfortable for me, which today has involved being up and pacing around the room
@flagshumbug: it certainly depends on people and location but usually 5 minutes late is acceptable. For example, in a big city, there is always a bit of uncertainty about traffic, so you can easily be 5 minutes late or 5 minutes in advance. I would say that 30 minutes late is bad planning or unforeseen event, but your mileage may vary. When I was living in Senegal, about 10 years ago, it was common for people to be 2 hours late at a meeting and no one would complain. — Taladris2 mins ago
QOTD: When you think, do your thoughts always take the form of words that you hear in your head in your native language, or do you think in more than one language, or in ways that are unrelated to language at all?
I find it productive to give my thoughts words as it causes me to slow down and think through things a little better and the act of putting things into language causes another level of self-examination. I'll usually do that when I'm thinking through emotions or actions I'm trying to understand or when making an important decision. But if I don't take the time to do that, it's mostly bits of images and feelings I guess? Idk how to explain it
@Rainbacon Nope. If it's words it can be either Dutch or English depending on what I am/have been doing or am thinking about, also, sometimes my thoughts are more like daydreams, where I can imagine what a finished crochet project looks like for example, or when I'm thinking about what to expect.
Giving thoughts words does slow then down, like scohe says. Writing those words down does so even more, and in some cases that helps me focus.
@Rainbacon For me, thinking tends to heavily involve my subconscious. It's as if I'm standing in the middle of, let's say, a large library. I want to generate thoughts/ideas/words/whatever, so I "say" something about the topic. My subconscious goes and looks through books at hyper speed, and eventually gives me a sheet of paper with a sort of summary or fully formed thoughts or whatever.
I read the paper and I decide whether it works well enough for my purposes, then I either act on it IRL or direct my subconscious to try again and/or refine the search.
If anyone's going "hey, that sounds like something I've seen/heard before", then that was probably this Veritasium video. :)
Interesting, all of you sound like you think more the way I do. I was talking about this with my wife, and she was having a hard time getting her mind wrapped around the idea of me thinking in anything other than sentences
user15026
@Rainbacon I think in sentences mostly, but it gets more visual and pictures and such and just pure feeling the closer it pokes to my neuroatypical bits.
@Ash Interesting, I don't know that I've ever noticed a pattern in when my thoughts are words vs pictures vs videos. Other than the one established pattern of my emotions being music
user15026
@Rainbacon For me, it goes words -> pictures -> pure emotion -> static (think like a TV on the wrong channel) -> meltdown, generally.
I do have a coworker that's talked about his thoughts being formed as sentences, and I'm fairly sure he's neurodiverse as well. Apparently makes it easy for him to write stuff because his thoughts basically are "written", I guess.
@El'endiaStarman Interesting. I was never able to see words in my mind (only hear them) which makes it extra difficult if I want to spell them or do calculations in my head (because there is too much data to remember at once, so the "calculation fails" if I don't have a piece of paper to write down stuff as I go).
Also, when I'm too tired, my dreams don't have "pictures". It always feels like I'm dreaming with my eyes closed (I often try to open them in order to see the pictures but it doesn't work very well)
@Rainbacon You know when you "a word on the tip of the tongue"? You can't find the word but the feeling of it is still here. Well, most of the time I think by "talking to myself in my head" (we are usually two or three responding to each other) but I also have those times where I won't formulate words and only let their feelings go through me. It's way quicker than formulating them, but you also do tend to forget those though quicker than the formulated one.
@Rainbacon I do know my brother thinks in pictures to such an extend that if anything in real life doesn't match a picture he created in his head, there's usually a bit of friction/tension/stress involved in setting things right...
@Rainbacon hmm .. I guess I think more in concepts, if that makes sense? like, images and phrases maybe. Not really sentences (unless I'm actually trying to write it down, but that's its own process), sometimes an inner monologue though
@Ælis yes, that!!
writing stuff down means taking those feelings and distilling them into the right words
@Tinkeringbell I'm reading your MSE answer. First you talk about red and blue seesaws and then you talk about the red and green. Is that voluntary? Because it does look like a minor mistake (which is upsetting really. If they ask me between red and blue seesaws why would they finally choose to paint them green!)
I feel like I've been super unproductive today because it's just me and the office manager in the office, and every time I get up to grab coffee/water we end up having a 15 minute conversation
@Rainbacon You can see that as you building a better relationship with our coworker. It's like team building and everyone knows that team building is valuable work too! :p
That's true, but it means less code. I'm really enjoying our conversations though. She has a degree in social work, so we've been talking a lot about autism
