    Sure! Best practices vary to your application. I'm a dev, so I'm used to configuring stuff for local env use. In prod, archiving is definitely nice so you can track back even through heavy logging. Though, tbh, if you're applications getting used by that many people a db logging system is probably just straight better

    I can't really speak from a position of knowledge on manufacturing TPU/TPE/PVC toys, but making silicone requires mixing two parts together and then casting your toys before they start to cure. I'd imagine Tupperware is an injection molding process instead. I have no idea how much machinery you could repurpose, though I'm curious to find out now

    You should only make toys meant for butt use out of platinum cure/medical cure silicone, glass, or stainless steel. Other commonly used polymers such as TPU and PVC will give you ass cancer.

    You should have rolling log files of limited size and limited quantity. The issue isn't that it's a text file, it's that they're not following pretty standard logging procedures to prevent this kind of thing and make logs more useful.

    Essentially, when your log file reaches a configured size, it should create a new one and start writing into that, deleting the oldest if there are more log files than your configured limit.

    This prevents runaway logging like this, and also lets you store more logging info than you can easily open and go through in one document. If you want to store 20 gb of logs, having all of that in one file will make it difficult to go through. 10 2 gb log files is much easier. That's not so much a consumer issue, but that's the jist of it.

    Just came out to my cousin! Only extended family member to know. I told my sister a month after I knew, I knew she'd be supportive. Talked about it with my dad, he doesn't really get it but loves me and is happy for me. He's relatively old, and struggles with other people's name and pronoun changes, so I doubt he'll do well with mine if/when that happens, but that doesn't matter to me much. Haven't told my mother yet.

    Haste mote does wonders for melee. Vitality mote is just convenient. In super endgame stuff you can't rely on it alone for survivability but it is a very serious ehp boost, and life recovery can be pretty hard to come by. She DOES fall off towards the late game, but she's still damn useful if only as a big quality of life boost.

    100%, discovering butt stuffing was a life changing moment for me. Though be very aware sex toy materials in the US aren't regulated, it's perfectly legal to sell you a toy that will give you ass cancer. If it says for novelty use only or something similar, listen to it. Look for platinum cure or medical grade silicone, glass, or stainless steel. Avoid TPE and PVC at all costs. Lube wise, get xLube/kLube powder and make it yourself, WAY more cost effective than buying it already in liquid form and it won't have any irritants, like glycol, which many water based lubes include that actually acts as a laxative when in your ass, making for a much less pleasant experience. If you're looking for something longer lasting or for shower use, coconut oil is also good. Still pretty easy to clean up but is a lot more water resistant and doesn't really dry out. It does stain a bit though, so keep that in mind.

    Qorvex. Can be insanely tanky but can also be built for insane clear, can also have good CC, and can have great single target damage with damage amp and armor strip. He can literally do it all.

    Further elaborated:

    His base armor is the highest in the game, by far. If you want to be extra tanky, toss all 3 umbral mods on, use adaptation, quick thinking, and the arcane that gives you energy based off of armor. Bonus points for rage and health regen. The only thing that can kill you is a rad proceed player or the last tick of a jade eximus beam, because that doesn't seem to do damage, it just kills you outright.

    Clear wise, his 4 is absolutely nutty. Every target hit by the beam does an explosion of radiation damage, and that radius scales with ability range, and his 4 has crazy punch through. So, if you fire it into a crowd, every enemy will get hit with the damage a number of times equal to the number of enemies close by. "But that requires enemies being grouped!" I hear you say. Luckily, his 2 does that quite nicely. Additionally, his 1 honestly does pretty high damage, scales great with range, and doesnt require building duration.

    Cc wise, his 1 is great, slowing enemies and rad proccing does well for CC, and his 2 is great as well.

    Damage wise, he has an augment that lets his 2 armor strip, and makes enemies take more damage.

    He's an absolutely terrific frame, 10/10 highly recommend

    I kind of dread the day I stop being appealing to gay men and start being appealing to straight men. Well, less the latter, I doubt I'll ever pass so well as to be appealing to straight men... During the brief unfortunate time I was stupid enough to look for connections, I had 0 interest from women, the only interest I had was from a few strictly gay not bi men. I seriously doubt transitioning is making me more appealing to women, so I feel like I'm slowly removing my dating pool as I become someone I like more. Well, it's for the best anyways, dating/hooking up was a disaster and I should have known better then to try. (It's not a problem that women aren't interested in me, it's not something I'm upset about, it's also for the best given some brain bugs I have)

    Try using tree style tabs, it's really great. Most websites are laid out such that there's tons of wasted horizontal space and vertical space is limited, so you increase usable screen space by moving tabs to the side. Additionally, with tabs at the top, the more tabs you have, the harder they are to read and keep organized. With tree style tabs, no matter how many you have, they're always maximally readable, and the ability to nest them and collapse groups gives you a ton of power organization wise. You can also easily hide the sidebar when you DO need the extra horizontal space. The ability to bookmark groups of tabs at once makes it much easier to keep close tabs you aren't actively using.

    We spend so much time using web browsers, why not optimize them for human use?

    Timeline Questions

    Hey all, as I've been thinking about who I want to be and how I want to transition, I've gotten to wondering about people's transition timelines in general. If it's something you're comfortable talking about, how long did it take you from realizing your trans to taking steps to transition? When did you start using different pronouns, when did you come out to people, how long did it take you to know you wanted HRT and then to start it? I realized I wasn't cis a few months ago, and have been growing my hair out and experimenting with clothing. I know I want to get permanent facial hair removal, and am interested in HRT but have reservations, and would value hearing others experiences about how long it took them to know what they wanted. I'm a very hesitant and self-doubtful person in general, and I guess just feel a bit lost in how to go about self discovery here. Editing to say thank you very much all for sharing, seeing how different everyone's experiences can be is honestly really comforting.

    It's either kill myself or quit my job, so I'm quittingnmy job

    When I can't find another and run out of savings in a few months, *that's* when Ill kill myself. Honestly did a bit of a trial run last night, fastened a bag over my head and snuggled my stuffed animals on the couch to see what it would be like. It's definitely something I can go through with if/when it comes to it. Taking other steps to make life less unbearable first, hence the title. I don't really see my life ending any other way though tbh, just more of a question of when. If I'm lucky, it'll be when the climate change induced famine prices me out of being able to eat and I chose not to starve. Anyways, sorry for making you read this. Fuck.
