How long has this been going? A few hours? Days? Weeks?

To verify your stud detector works you must point it to your self, make a beeping sound, turn to your significant other and tell them "I'm a stud"

With no judgement, what is pcos? And what are the worse symptoms then being hairy?

Yeah, it wouldn't be bad if it was done correctly (a little slack and a service loop) but they did everything super tight. What makes it worse is a bad cable is often an intermittent issue and we are a low volume high profit company who can not retest so every time a cable goes bad it's typically several thousand in lost product.

See cable management is great when done correctly. At my job we had a audit complaint that there were too many wires on the ground which would make it difficult to clean under them. Management told all the techs to do cable management so the wires were not dangling. The techs did as told so now we keep getting wires failing because they are super tight and strained. No one mentioned a service loop or anything of the sort. In addition now it takes like 2 hours to replace the bad wire because you have to undo all the wire management, replace the wire and redo all 400 Ip ties.

I always viewed relationships as a matter of trust. The difficult part of being cheated on isn't knowing another dick has been in that pussy or another pussy has been around that dick. In most cases that has happened before you ever got together. The difficult part is the doubts. "is she really staying late for work?" "is he helping a friend move or moving her organs around?" "is she not responding because she's busy or because she is fucking" those questions are what's hard. Then "well if they lied about that what else are they lying about?"

It's all about trust. Once you cheat you break that trust. I even told my partner if she was honest about it, it wouldn't be a big deal. If she lied then she is dead to me forever.

I don't mean any offense but is hiring someone to drink expired milk the best way of testing it? Can't they like measure bacteria or chemical composition or something?

I've told this story before but years ago(probably 2 if not 3 decades ago) I liked a song where a guy made sounds like "ohh bada bada bop ba" instead of actually singing. The only real line he sang that I remembered was "I'm the scat man"... So I went on to kazza, yes this was that long ago, and found a video called "scat man" and downloaded it... I hope I don't have to explain it was NOT a music video!

Funny story of the at one about 10 years ago I rented a room in a house with these two old(60+) alcoholics. We split the cable/internet bill, normally it was $270 a month ($90 per person). At the time I was about to move across the country and was doing business trips back and and forth. This month I was there for about 1 week. The cable bill came in and it was close to a grand.

They wanted me to pay $350 and I said no! I called the cable company and asked why it was so high. They said it was from like 14 porn movies being purchased all from one cable box(I never even unboxed mine) over a week end. They gave me the serial of the box and I checked all the boxes. I found out who it was, I payed my $90 dollars and told them to figure out the rest. I moved out the end of the next month, never did learn what happened to the bill(wasn't in my name thankfully).

 

So background, my kid has seizures often. He is currently on 5 different medications to try to control it(plus 1 for sleeping and 1 for his liver enzymes) plus severe non verbal autism so he can't tell us if he already had his meds. Currently when it's medication time, it's always "did you give him his meds yet?" and we have no way of tracking how many seizures he actually has besides "alot more recently" or "it's gone down recently". Yes he had multiple doctors and this is NOT a post looking for health advice.

I am creating an app for phones(c# Maui) which will send json objects to a api to store/retrieve data in a database(when he last had medication x, when he has a seizure etc). It will probably only be used with in my family, maybe 20 entries a day on a really bad day(7 medications twice daily + 6 seizures to give a round number) but should be less then 10 transactions(most medications given at same time).

What's the cheapest/easiest was I can host something like this? I do not have a static ip. Yes it's health information but I'm only storing first names and tracking time of events, not too worried about hippa like security.

 

The only possible exceptions I can think of are fish(I imagine gills and mouth are not connected but don't really know). I am excluding bacteria and viruses and I believe they don't really breath(correct me if I'm wrong).

 

I know there choice of distro is really meaningless as you can install almost any program on almost any distro. But I have been playing with kali which is for security people and pen testers. Is there a similar distro for programmers? Like a few ides installed some profiling tools some virtual environment tools etc?
