I like writing, and am trying to learn more basic IT/web development skills. Always happy to chat, and welcoming of advice or mentoring on any topic, since I am always trying to expand my limited skillset.

This ian't the sort of topic that I normally comment on, but today's events have been particularly disturbing, so I thought I would share what I have experienced. I have seen two very different people that are very…
To begin, I know that my resume is quite different from many others in this thread, so if my qualifications aren't appropriate, I'll take this down. I figured I would post here anyway because in the past I have had some…
Most (maybe all?) CGMs need to be calibrated regularly with finger pricks. In fact in the case of both the Dexcom G5 (haven't known anyone on the G6) and Medtronic Guardian sensors they can occasionally sort of derp out…
By happenstance I have spent about half of my life living with people with T1D and this post echos pretty much exactly what I have heard over the past decade or two. A lot of non-t1d folks seem to fixate on the…
I find this post interesting. I moved out of Portland last year because I was summarily priced out of the city. By "Portland" are you including Gresham/Milwaukie/Beaverton in your estimation? About seven years ago my…
This was an interesting read. I guess I'll start with the response. As has been pointed out by others, bringing up the book was a weird humblebrag. It kind of makes me think that Polly chose to answer this particular…
This made me laugh. Perfect. :)
Thanks for that! That actually looks quite promising for my goals. Just gotta figure out student aid or loans for random expenses haha :)
I have been homeless in very affluent cities on the California coast, including San Franscisco. I strongly disagree that having a "million dollar view" constitutes "living the dream." If a person is at risk of assault…
Though I strongly disagree with the overall sentiment here, as well as some of your specific statements, your post touches on some interesting points. In an earlier post, I mentioned a very, very small group of people…
Thanks for reading! 90% of what I read about on here is stuff I don't fully understand that I read juat for self improvement, so it's nice to be able to contribute to a thread occasionally :)
In my experience of living in multiple shelters/streets/camps in multiple cities is that there is a lot of truth to this idea. For example, I knew a man that was incredibly ornery, almost always drunk, and prone to…
I am happy to read about programs like this. I have struggled financially for the better part of a decade due to a variety of issues ('08 crash wiped out pretty much every job that paid a living wage in the city I lived…
I have personally seen an entire friend group abuse buprenorphine recreationally. It doesn't produce the traditional opiate euphoria, but for people with little opioid tolerance it can be a very strong intoxicant. From…
I think the problem more relates to how the risk associated for privacy violations is communicated to people. "People don't care about privacy" is a reasonable conclusion to reach if you don't factor in the perception…
Thanks! I'll pass that along.
I am curious as to how narrow your scope of industries/requirements will be in the future. I have a friend with a BA in Photography and a MA in Collaborative Design. She is very talented and intelligent, but has trouble…
I am glad that this is becoming more prevalent. While I personally have never really gotten into any trouble, I know a lot of people that have been incarcerated for weed. In other cases, the presence of weed allowed for…
I think this is a wonderfully poetic viewpoint. It somewhat reminds me of the general tone of the Tao Te Ching. This cheered me up a bit, thanks!
It is 2018 so this is a good time to have this debate. Geocities > Angelfire > Homestead > Lycos Tripod. I remember holding this opinion but cannot remember why, or if it was actually informed by anything.
Oh my gosh, I used to know a guy that went by 'puppies' or something that used to talk extensively about the "AOL progz" and I just got a flashback. This is incredible.
This is actually quite charming. Thanks for sharing it!
Too bad caffeine makes me anxious! Jokes aside, I think this is kinda neat. Platforms like this are becoming more and more necessary for a segment of the population. I have been considering taking up a blog or other…
I understand your view on critical thinking, and I am intentionally trying to foster that by encouraging other stakeholders to speak up. Namely, us Poors! In this case, what speech is privileged over the rest? I read…
No problem! 1. This is kind of open ended, so I'll give it a shot. Both of my parents were janitors. I went to a private school in middle school on a work scholarship (we had to drive an hour each way, open and close…
