Ruby is really let down by the tooling around the language. The language itself would be so much more fun to write if the lsp would reliably jump to the definition of functions etc that seem to appear out of no where. It has been the biggest source of frustration for me while learning Ruby.
Readit NewsIn 2023 there was a conference about Chemistry of Indoor Environments (CIE) that looked at the research that was done over a ten-year period; opening presentation:

Generally: avoid any use of electronics to 'do stuff' to the air or pathogens (e.g. UV) and just use high-MERV / HEPA filters, and use an ERV to vent stale air and bring in (filtered, conditioned) outside air.
Even HEPA isn’t a requirement, you just need a high CADR. Doesn’t matter if the filter doesn’t catch a particle on the first pass as long as it does one a subsequent one and the flow rate is high!
I wonder how this will work for visa waiver programs like the ESTA. I have family visiting next year and if they have to pay an extra $1k, it won’t happen.

Having moved from the EU (Germany) to the US there seems to be a LOT of these bad-faith skirtings of reasonable laws, especially in automotive (eg. license plate screens, window tint etc.) where lack of enforcement is abused and will eventually lead to the penaltization of the general public.
I moved from Ireland to the US and noticed the same. So many people in the US treat others as if they are NPCs. Rules only exist so that they can’t bother you, but the rules don’t apply to you. It is extremely frustrating!

Most of mine are the 'wrinkle free' variety that actually work pretty well. I have a few 'nicer' shirts that aren't and you learn the tricks of the trade - hanging it near your shower, wiping with a hot wash cloth, not drying completely, etc. Irons are a hassle and I rarely use them.
Still, I rarely wear those for that reason. They also look like crap at the end of the day from sitting in cars or padded chairs.
I would love to wear more shirts, but I’m not a fan of wearing cloths that contain a significant amount of plastic. Cotton shirts are a pita, but I’ll try these tips, thanks!

Am I misunderstanding or is this using non-actualised gains to buy actual things? What are the tax implications of this?
Ha, glad to know I'm not not alone doing that re: country of origin.
I only wear Oxfords and casual button down shirts, and found that I only ever like the ones made in Bangladesh because of fit and material. I could talk your ear off for 20 minutes about how clothes from X feel cheap, clothes from Y have nice materials but don't fit right, etc.
I just checked my closet, and every single shirt I regularly wear across three brands is made in Bangladesh!
Is wearing button downs every day not a buttload of ironing?
Fairly or not, when I see PlanetScale, that’s what I think of.
Seeing the CEO on here defending it as if they nailed the execution of it doesn’t help either.
