I think he's using it as an arrow. Like "are you using X? ➡️ Use Y instead"

Yes! This is what I was looking for! Thanks!

Interesting! Would this be similar to how you might temper a raw egg mixture into a warm soup or somesuch?

I read it as an allusion to the price of everything going up. But yes, eggs.

This is such a toughie for me. In fancy joints, they might take it as a point of frustration on your part: "ugh, this service is slow to clear the table; get this mess away from me *stacks plates*". Or, even worse, that you're doing their job for them.

But in a place like Waffle House, I'll do it.

Really?

The first verse:

The other night, dear

As I lay sleeping

I dreamt I held you in my arms

But when I woke, dear

I was mistaken

So I hung my head and I cried

I always took it to mean the person is mourning the loss of a loved one and they dreamed they were still alive.

Also, I once heard that this song was about a horse named Sunshine. 🤷‍♂️

It's happening here in southern Louisiana. My insurance premium has been steadily increasing for the last 3-5 years.

Also, we're going through a drought which is causing a saltwater intrusion into our wetlands and wildfires in the marshes.

If you ever make it out to Pigeon Forge Tennessee, hit up the Lodge Factory. They have a store there that they sell all of their rejected cast irons for a pittance. Most of the rejects only have minor imperfections.

Pretty much the same story for me. I'm creeping up on my 40s. Mine has lasted me through highschool and college. I still use it as my daypack on family vacations and to haul my DnD stuff.

I quite like my Honda Accord.

I'd say so. My wife has a degree in culinary. She's used it to work her way up the hospitality industry and is now a regional GM over a few hotels in our area.

I access mostly through the Lemmy PWA. I saw some weirdness yesterday. I didn't think to try to capture screenshots or error info. It seemed like I couldn't get a response from the server and the PWA just pooped the bed. I was able to get on an alt with a different instance so I figured some admin-y stuff was going on.

I had to log in to upvote and comment, but all seems well right now!

I get all of the associations, butt strings?

I would second this.

I've been at my current company as a senior SW engineer since 2015. Mostly because it's a good company, I like the people, I have mentors, the culture is good, and it's all remote. It's for a government contractor which means I ended up getting switched to a different project every few years when a project begins to sunset. Most of my experience is with various government contractors and this is the only one that's been able to transition me to other project. I'm currently working on my 3rd major project with this company and various minor projects in between.

My annual raises have been about 3~5%, but even then I began to feel like it wasn't enough. During my last transition, I mentioned to my new boss that I felt like I wasn't being compensated enough. He asked me to name my price and I said something reasonable. He was able to give me exactly that and a few months later during the typical raise cycle I got another 5% on top.

I really think a lot of companies don't put much thought into retention once someone is brought onboard. You just get scooped up and they do the 3~5% living expenses increase but not much beyond that. If you're feeling like you're not being compensated fairly, definitely bring it up to a manager or someone in the chain of command that can do something about it.

Once upon a time Twitter was held up as the ideal microservice.

I wonder if Lemmy could do single sign-on support like how you can log in some places with your Google or Facebook account.
