My dad who is 81 recently got into trouble cause the app where he pays his bills decided that his phone is too old.

I think this is bullshit.

Are you changing your travel plans for November because of the US government shutdown?
"There's a theory that early Europeans started saying "brown one" or "honey- eater" instead of "bear" to avoid summoning them, and similarly my friend has started calling Alexa "the faceless woman" because saying her true name awakens her from her slumber"
I want to normalize talking about something that is often treated privately, but that the majority of humans have personally dealt with.
Periods.
Menstrual cycles.
Being on the rag or visited by Aunt Flo or any of the other phrases we've turned to in order to hide the discomfort.
And, to do so I'm going to be putting a content warning on all of the replies and polls below, because some people are genuinely disgusted by the topic and don't want to interact. Which is fine for them. But if you are interested and curious and also want to normalize this conversation, please do click in. And boost this message when sharing the CW polls so that context can also easily be found.
I will be adding new questions/polls daily for one week. If you get tired of seeing these posts, just imagine how tired we are of bleeding.

Now that the Sun Ultra 45 project and article are wrapping up, I want to put some feelers out for the Ultra 45's x86 sister machine: the dual-Opteron Sun Ultra 40 (M2 variant preferably). Does anyone have one collecting dust they want to get rid of? I'd love to write a follow-up article comparing the two.
Let me know, and we can surely work something out.
The Trump administration has decided that if Democrats won’t let them raise healthcare premiums then poor people won’t get food stamps.
49.83% of people who voted chose this.
If your company uses web technologies but has never tried to solve pain points by fixing the web platform rather than working around the issues, why is that?

Mental illness is very difficult to battle as a man. The loss of control is terrifying. I should know, I battle it myself. Some days you just want to quit but I always remind myself the pain will end and that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but of inner strength. If you are reading this and are suffering in silence please know you don't have to feel the way you do now alone. You deserve the help and you are not worthless. You have an illness, and just with any illness there should never be shame attached to it.
