Any PHPStan/Larastan experts out there? Currently on level 2 and getting an error about a missing var. I don't really want to add another line to fix nor do I want to ignore this line, is there a better way?

Maybe @jclermont knows?

PHP code: /** @var User $user */ if (is_null($user = auth()->user())) { Variable $user in PHPDoc tag @var does not exist. varTag.variableNotFound

Drew McCaskill @DrewMcCaskill My mom has Alzheimer's, but she was an award-winning teacher for 3Oyrs. Lately, she wakes up and gathers things to go to work. Her AM nurse started giving her printing emails to edit. "Grading papers" is her new joy. I thank God for her and her caregivers. Joy is always possible.

Trying to #buycanadian, directly from a Canadian company, and when I ask why Amazon prices are way cheaper than buying direct, this is what I got.

Why make this so hard?
Thanks for reaching out to us and for providing us the opportunity to address your concerns. The price of our products will vary from store to store and we have no control on retail pricing. That being said, I would suggest ordering online to get the best possible price, Amazon tends to be very competitive and often is lower priced. As we don't want to compete with our retailers our products are priced at suggested retail price, however we often have promotions you can take advantage of. You may wish to sign up to our newsletter to get alerts on upcoming promotions,  so you can shop the best deal. https://genuinehealth.ca/pages/sign-up-get-free-shipping

My wife teaches the "gifted" kids, this is what she's up against.

Are they really gifted (she doesn't do that designation) if they're not curious and open to learning?

#giftedchild #education
These kids literally don’t want to do anything that is difficult for them. I just had them draw Celtic knotwork, which admittedly is confusing until you get going. It requires visualizing and they whined the entire time “I’m cooked. This is stupid.”

A common sentiment in the #laravel community, unfortunately. I don’t really get how folks who cheer on a talk about “finding your village” and wanting to be inclusive can believe this.

I’ve met some amazing lovely people in the Laravel community, but not a lot of thinking about others.
Honestly I see no reason to be anywhere besides X
