I had the EXACT same fear of becoming a dad.

I was terrified I’d screw the whole thing up.

Now I’d argue being a dad is the thing I am the best at in the world. That was such strong advice from the Dr.

In 2019, Darren Wayman was about to become a new father. He was terrified. Then, a doctor came into the delivery room and said something that changed his perspective on parenthood.

Fuck. Somehow left behind my sling with our passports in it.

Thankfully the airline has it and called me in to retrieve it

Anyone on here ever been pickpocketed?

Anyone lose something and only just now think it might have been a pick pocket?

How many people are like me and find this Cursor issue to be a blocker for adoption?

And I have touched down in Boston!

Had a great trip out to Salt Lake City for #EpicWebConf - made some new friends, great memories, and learned a ton as well.

Oh! I figured this out.

I had string interpolation in a className but this error didn’t make that clear.

Through trial and error I figured it out, but the error that threw had little or nothing to do with the true problem.

That was annoying
Even applying a url in a style tag breaks it. Super weird.

Will keep digging

What’s “nerd sniping”?

Might’ve done that at lunch?

Anyway having fun meeting all sorts of new people

Should we rename our schedule verbiage away from "Week" to "Event"?

"Event 01"
"Event 02"

"Current Event"

"Previous Events"

Week 13 can get confusing because our in-sim "weeks" are really "days"

This platform is objectively terrible.

Some good eggs in here, but through sheer ignorance and/or stubbornness are weaponizing pure evil.

Ironically preaching against perceived evil.

78% of Americans support a ceasefire, and the media elites will do everything they can to convince American’s that supporting such a ceasefire is tantamount to licking Putin’s boots. What a disgrace

The replies to this really makes me sad.

All these people (and it literally looks like it’s all of the people) replying to this have so much hate in their hearts.

Two wrongs don’t make it right
While using Apple’s automatic dictation feature to send messages, some iPhone users reported seeing a peculiar bug: the word "racist" temporarily appearing as "Trump," before quickly correcting itself.

Linux users please unite for a Windows friendly distribution for folks who don’t use their PC to make money.

It should be as close to the same as stock Windows as possible without all this crap.

Am I the only one who keeps having url's break on my with @tailwindcss.com v4?

Maybe the Vite plugin? Maybe my syntax? But this is annoying. Breaks font imports as well as this command:

```
bg-[url(/images/hero_image.jpg)]
```

I've tried several versions of this, too.

That hockey game tonight has me CRUSHED.

But I’m honored I even got to watch it.

Wish I was smart enough to have bought tickets.

For as impactful as this one tweet appears to have been, I am stunned there's only 3 replies to it.
