I got 2 refs from women, now a third, and in the past month have had 2 more hosting requests from women. So it looks like my profile will look like I only host women soon. Before 2025 I had mostly hosted men (there was 1 girl) and most of them didn't leave a reference (including the guy I took rock climbing). Before you ask, all of this hosting has been completely platonic.

Seriously the surgeon general said loneliness is a public health crisis but that's not specific enough. It is nightlife that needs to recover, that was decimated during pandemic. I heard mamdani has been doing stuff like keeping lights on thru the night at public parks and ppl are going out to play soccer. All cities should do stuff like that. I'm just horrified that my teenage existence of being on the internet until 3 am every single day has become the default state for most of the country. This is so bad, worse than fentanyl, worse than obesity and across all ages, but getting worse with younger gens (due to brainrot, fear of being perceived/cringe). Get restaurants to stay open late one Wednesday per month with tax breaks or something, close a couple streets to cars and have a night market once in a while, have free movie nights in a park. Cities have to do something.

Looking for one with the triangle emblem. I got a random one off Etsy but the graphic and text on it wasn't that crisp, and it like melted off my car.

I'm on BCBS IL insurance and called 4 doctors in the search tool that said they were taking new patients. Only 1 actually was, and that one said I had to join a "health club" that costs $300/year. I used to want a doctor who was male and also an athlete, but now I'll settle for anyone in north seattle who can just order bloodwork and stuff and write me referrals. Why is this difficult?

Not in touch with them any more. They came to the US in the 70s, dad got in as a doctor. They were kind of horrible parents so I'm trying to understand where they were coming from.

My coworker is pressuring me to put my data into it (50k rows excel sheet) and migrate my whole pipeline to AWS glue. It seems 100x more complex than just my simple python script that reads an excel file. My script takes 10 sec to execute, I don't see why I need cloud based resources... We work with physical products, our data is not anticipated to need scaling (very old school industry) and even then I've worked with up to 40m rows on my machine with parquet files. Should I still go to AWS glue?

I've been told by a local (WA) that Blaine - Truck Crossing is pretty much the fastest since they have 2 nexus lanes, and that Google Maps doesn't always take this in to account when routing. Should I just always go through Blaine - Truck Crossing if I have Nexus?

(Referring to those who got legit SAINT with fMRI, not just theta burst.) Looks like I'm on track to get SAINT in a few weeks at Acacia. I'm really hoping it works, but I've been depressed for 25 years with some profound social isolation, never really connecting with people beyond acquaintances, and family estrangement. I've read about studies where long term depression causes major hippocampal atrophy... Like the brain tissue isn't there from a decade+ of depression. So I'm pretty doubtful that this could work for me, unless it could magically rebuild my hippocampus in 5 days. Anyone with a similar background (very long term depression) actually experience remission? Did you experience it during treatment, or a bit later?

Did they ever apologize for anything? Mine are still alive somehow despite being fat and hateful for decades, now in their 70s. I have no idea what I will feel. Probably relief though.
