  I’m not the best guide for how often to shower, but every dermatologist-written guide I’ve read does indicate that a daily shower is unnecessary for most people and will (for most people) dry your skin. It can also damage your hair. This is true even in the absence of soap/detergent/shampoo.

  That said, if you do anything that causes you to sweat, I think it’s prudent to do a quick rinse because you always smell worse to other people than your do to yourself due to olfactory saturation.

  The first step is admitting the country has is a problem.

  I know I don’t do enough. It’s not enough to vote for the “right” people about once a year and just keep your head down, with maybe some “digital activism”.

  If the bug doesn’t already exist / is included under an existing bug scope, yes.

  I don’t think I will, but I probably should.

  I think they are turning it into a HTML ordered list, and the Lemmy CSS isn’t set up for that.

  A bit of browser inspection, and I can basically guarantee it’s because the li::marker CSS is sized for no more than 3 digits.

  I never had a conversation on geocities, but I do remember you could do some SSI stuff, so maybe it was possible. I think lost my last geocities site password and didn’t care to go through the effort of resetting it in '96 or so.

  You can telnet into the HTTP port basically everywhere that doesn’t auto-redirect to the HTTPS port (and start/resume a TLS session), and there could be stuff in the HTML source (or headers) that a browser might hide from you, at least by default – but I can’t think of how you would use that in geocities to “see private messages”. (In theory you could manually start/resume a TLS session, but a proper telnet client might break on some of the bytes received, and you’d definitely have to figure out how to send some non-ASCII bytes.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bold words⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I learned the lessons from that language 12 years earlier than I did. I still prefer to write personal code in that family of languages, and it made me a better coder even in Java, JavaScript, Python, even C.

  Also, that year is actually the first year it was available and my first year in college; it might have focused me enough to actually go to grad school and start a PL research career. I don’t know if that would be better, but it would be different.

  The people calling out BTC is also a pretty good idea, but I made a little money on BTC, and I’m not sure too much more money would be a positive change in my life. It could be, but I think it might have made me more covetous and more isolated.

  But, I often choose to program instead of playing video games these days, so it’s clearly something I enjoy, even if I don’t currently monetize it.

  Thanks for asking.

  I can’t figure out how to prevent 9/11 in 3 words. So, I’ll just say “Programming Language: Haskell”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it fits...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that it probably should be legal-ish. I think maximum curb gaps are a great idea, and minimum curb gaps are probably a good idea in areas where curb cleaning might frequently overlap with parking. But smarts and cycles should almost already be allowed to double-up within the same F-150-sized space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it fits...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  right wheels need to be within 12" of the curb

  park nose first

  rear passenger wheel still more than 12" from curb -> ticket.

  (j/k; I’m pretty poor at cleaning things.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, I don’t even like using the word “cheat” to describe customizing a single-player gaming experience in a way not blessed by the developers. Terrafirmacraft (and maybe even just Gregtech) isn’t cheating at Minecraft; certainly the experience isn’t “easier”.

  So, yes, I will play the game is whatever way makes for the most fun for me, whether that’s “cheating” or not to you.

  For experiences that aren’t single-player, including (e.g.) anything with a global leaderboard (even at third-party one), I can understand why someone might choose to cheat, but I think I could deny myself those temptations. But, I’ve never been a “simple” cheat away from the top of a leaderboard or any other sort of acclaim or reward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FOX BREAKING NEWS ALERT!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve basically only been seeing the “blowing bubba” meme stuff, but I expect that we will at least get more evidence that Trump got handjobs from women that could not legally consent and were coerced into those acts. There’s long been testimony to that effect.

  I hope it torPEDOes this whole Presidency, but I’m a bit tipsy just now.

  Aw. Quesaritos are my favorite thing. I might never eat at a Taco Bell again.

  Maybe you can score one from someone else?

  Same here on both counts.

  First 3 replies to this post asking for a guest pass will get one from me. It’s a free month of viewing anything through Nebula. (I recommend “The Prince” and “Lynchpins”.)

  I do believe she eventually grows to the age of consent, but I could be wrong.

  Of course, I was saying “only female” is Sassette erasure. I was not saying “only mating prospect” is Sassette erasure.

  I was just remembering her from my childhood. I wasn’t up on my Sassette lore. I found a reference that says she was created the same way Smurfette was, which surprised me.

  Not usually an issue for me. My heartburn trigger used to be acids (e.g. pizza sauce) too close to bed, but after I lost some weight, I basically don’t get heartburn anymore.

  That said, I very much avoid anything with much hot spice. Anything that I think might burn on the way out doesn’t make it in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who makes up the "serving size" on microwave food?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you are supposed to have a couple of vegetable sides to go with a meat+cheese+pasta lasagna.

  (But, sure, lasagna is a pretty flexible term, you could make one where an appropriately sized portion is a complete, balanced meal.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought I wasn’t going to like the combat of XIII, but I ended up really quite enjoying it most of the time. I thought the support roles AI was quite good, and eventually I figured out a rhythm of switching roles that felt really good.

  But, I probably should go back and play some of the 7-9, maybe even X again. I picked up 2, 3, and 5 (and the portable Nintendo consoles to play them) and never made the time to play them.

  I know some are on Steam, but I’m on Linux and I don’t know how well the Proton/SteamPlay works with them. (Plus, I need to finish up Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 before I buy yet another JRPG.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Final Fantasy X. Hands down the best entry of the franchise (fight me)

  I never finished X, it felt like it was dragging on and there were too many unskippable scenes.

  I actually preferred XIII, which I nearly 100%'d (I think I was one or 2 combats away from 100%) and even XIII-2 which I enjoyed, tho I thought the “post-game” was too heavy with loading screens. I never played XIII-3 (Lightning Returns).

  In any case, FF VI is actually the best entry in the franchise. I know that because I played and beat it as a child. (/s)

  (I was really hoping FF XV [?; road trip with the boy band] would be good, but I played about 10 hours and had nothing good to say about it.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  R-Type Final – more than 100 fighters to unlock across a branching campaign, including at least one secret stage.

  I was a little disappointed with R-Type Final 2, but I might need to just play more.
