MediCal covers some dental but rarely anything deemed "cosmetic" and many dentists don't accept it, regardless of the work needed. I think I'd be pretty happy to have all my teeth replaced, as they've been nothing but trouble for decades now, but it's not always a great idea to do so, especially if you are young. The youngest person I know who had full dentures in his 20s had his adult teeth knocked out of his jaw from a falling chain on an oil rig. With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside |

people are indeed pretty stupid (myself included), but I also feel like they are often not irrational. like you can understand why they do stupid thing from their perspective, it makes a sort of bent logical sense. what is kind of worse is when people are stubborn. this means they won't pay attention to the information that would help them act less stupidly, they've decided to dig their heels in and do it a certain way come hell or high water.

Github is just a mirror of my stuff now. I would like to formally invite the entire planet to do the same, and host their projects on the Raspberry Pi in my living room. It's got a whole terabyte of storage! |

i don't think it's a cool move, but i do think that the type of person who would do that sort of thing would think it would be cool to say something to punctuate the act, feeling very solid snake when they're really otacon pissing himself like a toddler having a tantrum

Also, misspelling package names is another way to be attacked: https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/06/npm_supply_chain_attack/ Sorry for the segway. It's hard to overstate the magnitude of terrible discipline and due dilligence that permeates modern software development which leads to catastrophic failures on the regular. Although the public is probably more familiar with seeing catastrophes related to bad dns, fatfingered routing decisions, and expired ssl certificates.

sb hermit posted:(The github thing) The actual employer part still had fun with it in that there is a continuous testing thing that checks whether the archive-copies we have still match the archives from github, so they turned off that test without even knowing what was up because *other* stuff was already broken and causing panic, and only understood what the problem was because I made the connection that a broken test named "open source verify something something" was probably doing the same thing as the other project. (Not that they really needed to know because it would have "magically resolved itself" a few hours later even if nobody had a clue.) |
