I think it's just called being a "power bottom" now

If you've got a spare $10-$15 laying around, my go-to has been Udemy. Particularly Maximilian Schwartzmueller, so far I've taken both his Vue.js and Django courses, and am almost done with his Docker/K8s one.

Not free, but worth it imo

Uh oh, dude's whipping out the "laughing crying" emoji, truly the last bastion for a conservative on the losing end of an argument.

If things get even worse for him, he might go as far as a clown emoji or two 🥺

A 10 year bump lol

We're actually (reeaally slowly) working on remaking the yaoi sex life section on the new site. Until then though, it's at least archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20121126144041/http://yaoihaven.wetpaint.com:80/page/How+to+Produce+Bigger+Loads

Enjoy!

That's pretty much my story. Always been a techy guy, but only got into coding once I landed an entry level job at a well known chip manufacturer, basically doing firmware testing by dragging and dropping python scripts onto systems in some automation software.

I got curious why sometimes the script would fail, so I started digging around in them and learned the basics. It was python 2, but good enough to get started. A few hours of codecademy later I was comfortable enough to point out some issues with the scripts to the developers, and started making some automation scripts of my own (HEAVILY copied and pasted, but they worked!)

Eventually, with more practice, I got onto a team that made a Django web tool for that team I worked on, and once that got rolled up into a larger company project I was moved on to the team that wrote those scripts I originally was executing.

That was over the course of 5 years, maybe 4½, but I went from $22/hr as a contractor to $150k as a direct hire in that time. It's crazy to think I did all that by tooling around with python and zero college, but it is doable! Never stop learning, challenge yourself with side projects (in my case, Discord and Telegram bots written in python), and don't get discouraged if you don't pick things up the first time you try, it's a long race, and in the end it's only against yourself.

Good luck!

The exceptions are called "stopping", "standing", and then the original, "parking".

All 3 are different, you should have learned this when getting your license.

The whataboutism is strong with this one

What do you mean, "you people"?

Atoro113

That's pretty racist of you to assume, ngl

Perhaps the built-in "get_next_by_FOO()" method is what you're looking for?

I mean it was Stanford...

But for real that number just blew me away. Somehow he doesn't see the irony of him being against universal healthcare even after that.

My dad got a quadruple bypass after 2 strokes, his medical bill was $1.3 million

Luckily medicare covered it or something, but imagine having to choose between lifelong debt while living or just dying

This is why I switched to AT&T. Middle of Orlando, full 5G signal, and google dot com would time out.

No issues since switching.

I learned Vue from Max's Udemy course a few years back, it was absolutely fantastic in helping me understand better than any other resource.

I found a good package that helps with instant cache invalidation on model changes, check out Django Ultracache

Looked up Fulament and now I want one, but they're out of stock for my size :(

I feel this comment so much. My older brother is an alcoholic, a meth addict, has several DUI's, and has meth-fueled bouts of hyper paranoia.

He left me a voicemail last night at 3 am asking for my help to "get his Google accounts back" from the "hackers who are inside [his] iPhone"

I didn't call him back

There is no social contract in these cases. There is no worry of safety, either, because the task of changing tires is normally done by professionals in exchange for money. Those people don't do it out of kindness, they do it because they are being paid to.

If you don't show appreciation for somebody doing that for you, and you're also not paying them for doing that for you, you are now taking advantage of them. It's simple.
