  • If you’re not gluten-intolerant, you’ll be surprised to know how many things they put flour into. It’s so ubiquitous to the human diet you can find it in virtually everything across all kinds of cuisine.

    This scenario was basically my life’s story and I had to do this every time I went to restaurant back then. Thankfully I’m no longer gluten-sensitive.

    P.S. Even factory-made plain potato chips aren’t safe. (Check the labels very carefully!)


  • I have an iPhone 10, which is now locked to iOS 18.7.

    I still won’t upgrade it, because fuck planned obsolescence. This device works and works very well. If I face any software/security issues in the future I will jailbreak it. Haven’t done so thus far only for the sake of banking apps.

    This is my last bastion and the phone I’ll be using for the rest of my life, or until it decays to crumbs between my fingers.

    Edit: FUCK. The screen just broke. Did I just jinx it? <instant_regret.jpg>



  • You think this is funny, but a codebase I once inherited did exactly this. Up until that point in my life, I never imagined I’d ever have such a violent urge to strangle someone.

    Bonus: the system had two types of accounts for signups: one for employers and one for employees. Naturally, it would set the role of the created account during the signup process, but the issue was that anyone could submit a signup request with a custom payload and set themselves as the third account type: administrator.

    Bonus #2: during a self-update request (avatar change, etc), users were able to change their own IDs in the database.

    It was 100% vibe-coded by two imbeciles in two months. We had to rebuild 80% of that codebase.




  • Because assholes exist. If they don’t do it like this then some opportunistic pieces of shit will constantly occupy lots. Making the parking cost the same as everywhere else (or even more if possible) is the only way to keep the parking spaces available for those who need them.

    They can then waive the fee/fines on a case-to-case basis like what happened with OP.
