Costco food court doesn’t seem to have any straws at all anymore, paper or plastic. There are still using plastic lids, but they have a little flap in them sort of like a coffee cup lid that you can sip through.

Barney Rubble’s stunt double

I have had the same experience and question. I don’t know why there is so much of it, but have found that blocking any community that is named or references “196” seems to take care of it.

I decided that I was never really going to devote the time to get in on the joke and there was way too much of it anyway.

Thank you for this! I have never heard of it before.

I used Crimson Editor before I found Notepad++ and I can’t believe it’s been that long. Cheers to 20 years!

They don’t think they’re wrong. They just think the people who tried this before didn’t do it right.

My kids are a little older, but I’m getting them (what I think is) a good telescope this year.

I think it’s fine. For development, I don’t think it’s really wasteful at all to spin one up for a project and then throw it away. Those containers are designed to be disposable. Your could keep enough data to bootstrap your application in a file under version control and recreate it each time.

If you put all of your databases for different projects on a single host on your network, it works great until you’re on a laptop somewhere away from your network. You’d need to solve for that using ssh tunnels or something. Or you could just host your databases on Linode or Digital Ocean or something so that they are always available, but there is a small cost associated with that.

If I start a project, I typically use the tear down/rebuild database approach until it just doesn’t make sense anymore to do it that way, and then worry about more long term connectivity when it’s time for that.

We have been using just the one that it comes with for many years and it’s been entirely sufficient.

Dying Light. It’s pretty good!
