It would be $20,000 if you get it done in Thailand. Not everyone can get it covered by insurance.

Said as a joke I suppose. However:

Shortly after its release, PGP encryption found its way outside the United States, and in February 1993 Zimmermann became the formal target of a criminal investigation by the US Government for "munitions export without a license".

No, no… they won and can stop their campaigns of lies now. Congrats on winning.

Xchange (2000). It has some trans elements in the dialogue so this little (at the time) teenage trans girl got it forever etched into her memory.

Maybe gatekeeping doesn’t work.

I ”terrified” a coworker this exact way once, he began seriously doubting his abilities as a programmer. He was ”so slow”. Worked out well because now he is a quite successful business man. Anyway I’m undiagnosed but plan to get it done privately soon.

I’m super new to it but it did get me 20% on my latest car repairs and some other benefits like that. And the reason I get treated this way is soooo transparent as someone who just recently transitioned.

I don’t think I’ve had many negatives yet, except that it’s kinda hard for me to know my friends’ intentions when they call me pretty. Already had one friendship blow up over it (she wanted more than I was willing to give).

View the data by ”Browser Version” and it is revealed that Chrome 112, an old version, suddenly got popular. Doesn’t really seem to be something people would voluntarily chose to use, so there is something else going on.

Pure speculation: some popular product in Vietnam got a software update and is misidentified as Chrome 112, whereas before it was missing completely in the dataset. Maybe a iptv box or something.

An example of flat design I suppose. It it preferred because it lets us download our Pringles faster.

Coming out.

One week before her arrest, Rheintgen sent around 160 printed letters to Florida lawmakers informing them she planned to use the specific restroom in the Florida State Capitol on March 19 in protest of the Facility Requirements Based on Sex Act.

I was a bit into my transition when a colleague started explaining the basics of VHDL to me after I had pointed out to him that the bug in his design had all the hallmarks of an off-by-one. (Thanks, buddy, I have a postgraduate degree in this). I was so baffled because that sort of stuff had never happened to me before.

Then he was going over the code and explaining how there is no off-by-one when I pointed out that his integer type was indeed one bit smaller than it needed to be.

He of course tried to take credit for fixing that bug, but guess which girl was the one with merge permissions in gitlab.

I’ve also had several men try to explain to me how the vending machine in the office works, even as I was using it. That one gives me a laugh every time.
