I'm an ALLY, so pick me up from the airport plz
I went there as a kid and actually had a terrible doctor - he looked at my feet for a few seconds and said my problem was that I was fat (I was like 8)

Went to the second one; birth defect and was a candidate for surgery. That decision didn't involve me, so here I am as an adult with total slappers

I meme instead of testing whether

let balance = 'sith for _ in _ {
...
break 'sith unlimited_power;
...
}

will work

(or attaching a new CGM, 'cause it expired while I was in the zone that lead to that)

now non_exhaustive is my beef - but that's easy because I can construct the default and overwrite the fields

i mean if you construct a struct outside of the crate you know that you break when the struct changes that's just fair dinkum

"might change in the future" only the present exists, friend

I mean it's literally impl From<FeatureType> for MyType. it covers every field of MyType. if it was that it'd have aura but all I see is fear, child

Fucking morons. Fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking morons. You pushed a config. The config would knock me out. It did. Now you can only send a tech at some point

Things changed! PPPoE no longer responds

also the answering tech initially was American-sounding and now after 5PM sounds like an India call center

I've been on hold for 15 minutes so far after calling back

Did get in a good comeback: "do you have CenturyLink or Quantum?"

"That's an S&P500 question. I'm being rejected by a PPPoE endpoint"

"yeah you're going to need to reset the modem"

"I have a router - and no. A Juniper device is sending 'DSL service disabled' at me"

"I am going to have to contact the team about this" [put on hold]

[they hang up]

oh waah it's so difficult to take care of diabetic inmates - release us then, instead of the death penalty

even worse his wife frantically tried to get him his insulin and the murderers turned her away

"maybe we should ask someone or send him to the hospital" is right there

I guess it's not a perfect analogy, because unlike being wrapped with plastic, this guy repeatedly begged deputies for insulin and they heard him and chose to ignore it (they offered wrong insulin) - to be indifferent while responsible for his survival and deny something critical to that survival

the first, sadly, did not arrive before multiple bleeds and rebuilding the whole fucking master cylinder

the second resurrected my printer

the third did match the service manual troubleshooter but we all know workflows in those books are incompatible with ADHD

update: listen, if I knew I could get 10 of these boards for $20 and then ESPhome controllers for them I would have just binned that controller board outright
