There's a DHL warehouse about 15 minutes away by bus. It’s had my package for two days. I tried calling them, but no one picked up. If my package is returned to sender, I will be very cross.

Status: Feeling adventurous – experimenting with sitting in a chair “properly.”
What are these strange contortions wherein my bum resides right at the back of the chair with my shoulders directly above if not slightly further forward? Time will tell how long this lasts.

Huh, I just checked and NodeBB tells me I have 118 pages' worth of topics with an Ignored status. Strange...

Oh, yeah, and at some point I have to get money moved from an old 401K that changed its rules into a new IRA before they gobble it all up in bullshit fees.
I found the easiest way to do that is to work with your current IRA people. They know what to do.

I have 2 pages of ignored topics. It was a surprise to me to find that less than a page's worth was Garage topics.

It wouldn't surprise me if most of them were somehow set to ignored thanks to some Discourse feature coupling "mark topics as read" to putting them on the ignore list. It seems to go back to those days, and stops me from analyzing several pages.
-
@JBert my ignore list shows the likes topic, a bunch of threads from the games section, and two threads that I have absolutely no memory of putting on ignore.
Not claiming I haven’t put them there myself, just that considering how things work around here I wouldn’t be surprised.

Developers who implement functionality as “hide feature = true” rather than “show feature = true” are the worst. :changemymind.WebP:

Ah, double negatives, amirite?

"Yes, I checked."

@Zecc in this case I’m reverse engineering what others have done. In particular, “hide x = off” is the specific abomination, so I’m trying to keep it straight whether off means the thing is shown or not.
In this case it really does mean “hide x = off” is “show x” but fuck your double negatives, dev folks.

You are right. It should be
unhide feature = true
.
-
@BernieTheBernie well, to make matters worse, this is a plug-in that lets you override default WordPress behaviours. So x is there and shown by default without the plug-in, and the plug-in then has a UI for “show/hide x”, and it then stored “show x” as “hide x = off”.
Just stop it, people. Affirmative logic does everyone favours.

@DogsB UIKit (the iOS core UI framework) uses

means "don't show".

@TimeBandit nope, this time it was a WP plugin. But next time, it'll almost certainly be WordPress's fault. It often is.

I think it's worse than that. I think they hate having to deal with 3rd parties and want to make their lives actively miserable so that they can do almost everything in house. But have to balance that with having to make money and needing 3rd party developers

Status: Went to go use my (ancient, second-hand) Wacom tablet for the first time since I moved, and wondered why it wasn't recognizing the pen.
So I pulled on the tablet's cord and, well, I guess it helps if it's actually plugged in.

tells me I have only one page of ignored topics. They are all topics started by @Gribnitwit. That's not right, though. I know I have ignored at least one Lounge and 3 (that I can think of off-hand) threads. Why are you lying to me, ?

Status: Biggest collectible show of the year was this past weekend.
Made $1000 on Saturday. Which was great, because I dragged my feet on registering a hotel and paid 75% more than I usually do. But then Sunday sucked balls and only brought in $100. Which was bad because I blew through $200 on my own spending spree on Saturday.
The one time I leave the booth on Sunday, I have somebody interested in this playset that I've been lugging around for years and, of course, they can only pay by card, which my friend can't seem to handle for some reason. He (the lost customer) was too cucked by his wife to come back though so there's always next year I guess.
On the upside, I got Renae Jacobs, AKA April O'Neil, to sign a piece of art I bought from the booth beside me and she was really nice, so Sunday wasn't a total loss.
