  • Depends on the use case. I used to make websites (~10 years ago) and someone wanted an image scroller and I knew for a fact someone else would want the same thing but with a different number of images showing and maybe instead of clicking next it shows the next image it shows the next 3 images etc. We had piles of very specific scrolling scripts that weren’t flexible and were hard to bring to another site. I spent a bunch of my own time making a single script that could cover most cases and it ended up saving a ton of time and became the go-to script for everyone.

    Eventually someone else came in and upgraded the script and made it better before making it a core script. Now with a couple HTML classes (and a little CSS) anything can be a scroller. Options can be changed with a few data attributes.

    Sometimes it’s worth it sometimes it’s not. I’ve had things so specific that I coded it like I was robbing a liquor store (get in and out as fast as possible).







  • Isn’t there a general consesus in sports that testosterone makes a big difference?

    I see where you’re coming from (I heard from a friend who heard from a friend) but I guess that depends on who you’re asking and what the sport is. Golf is hand-eye coordination, practice and skill. Balls or ovaries, it shouldn’t make any difference when it comes to golf.

    Fun fact: bowling, pool and darts are also gendered in many leagues. Pretty sure testosterone wouldn’t be the deciding factor in the winner in those.






  • Just though of the last time I did shrooms (~10 years ago). It was snowing but way more than normal. Me and my roommates are high AF on shrooms stuck inside because of the snow. One of my roommates gets a call from his girlfriend’s brother - he’s stuck in the snow around the corner from my house.

    He’s a drug rehab therapist.

    We spent the entire night, high on shrooms, with a drug rehab therapist. It was kinda sorta stressful at the time but in hindsight it’s the plot of an episode of some random sitcom

    Edit: it was acid not shrooms
