AskBeehaw

So i'm experiencing a sudden network issue with only Beehaw despite no major changes to my PC or network.

So I can go to beehaw.org, navigate to anywhere on it, but after 1 minute, the connection becomes unresponsive (connection was reset). This error will persist for about 2 hours or until I change my IP address. At that point, I can hit beehaw.org again, unfettered, but only for about 1 minute before the unresponsiveness kicks back in.

Am running windows 7 and brave browser under proton VPN, but it occurs with or without the VPN running. It only seems to occur with beehaw. I've not noticed any other site having navigational problems. I flushed the dns and rebooted both the PC (full shut down) and the wifi, but the error still occurs every time. The connection will be reset after 1 minute on a fresh IP.

Anyone smelt this fish before? Started about a month ago.

So basically classic Reddit. Let the votes matter. Let people decide a down vote threshold (hide posts for me below x number.)

And let all of us who want to see the show put that threshold to negative Infinity and let's have some gosh dang fun!?

I'm kind of thinking it's only a matter of time until someone incorporates the mod log and just reintegrates those messages into a continuous comment hierarchy. Kind of like how pie fed incorporates multiple instances into a single comment tree.

Why the extra steps? Comments are never really deleted you can go look them up. Seems pedantically silly.

I'm struggling with writing a scene in my middle-grade book where my MC deals with his super embarrassing dad. My main difficulty was that I can't remember a single time my parents embarrassed me? So I think I need to collect some stories about embarrassing parents for me to draw on.

https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-git-basics this is the lesson that i am following. I completed the Create the Repository section successfully. I also completed the Use the Git Workflow section successfully. It’s the Modify a File or two where I am facing all the difficulties.

Can someone please show me the way how to do it ?

I've the information that it's like GitHub or Codeberg, but its looks are different. I've created an account anyways.

I am working on windows 10 currently. I was wondering if MX Linux could be installed directly from online. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

(Train of Thought.) I was staring at a screen watching a bunch of packages and fonts loading while also coming up with something to post on Beehaw and that got me to beehaw and fonts. Which begs the question what font do you think should be the official font of Beehaw?

I’ve had an awful time so far this week all because I went to a well-known fish restaurant on Sunday. It is rumored that Shakira went through something similar in Peru after eating ceviche, so I suppose after 10 years here I should be used to it.

I’m not pumped about having to take antibiotics again though. Any tips that have helped y’all when you’ve got type 7? 💩

Hello dears, I saw in the description that there's no downvote system, but I still see the downvote button and it makes a difference, I used it somewhere (then took it back)

The Democratic National Committee nominates Anakin Skywalker as their 2028 candidate, and this year, voting is compulsory (life sentence for not voting). Who's getting your vote?

Writing on behalf of my partner, who is alone and anxiously waiting out the weekend in our new home. Also writing for myself, as I feel powerless to help. I need your input on what to do and what to prepare for. The tldr is at the bottom.

My partner is an amazing human, and an experienced nurse. Trauma care, children, epidemeology specialist and ebola / infectious disease (SARS, Coronavirus) expert. She was recruited by a health authority in Canada as someone who can help plug the nursing and expertise shortage. Signed a job offer and they registered her and sent her the immigration employment number (EIN or IEN?), the NOC and other immigration details, as an RN. She signed the job offer, highered an immigration attorney so we could make it smooth for our family. The health authority offered to pay for moving and we signed that, too. She moved first. I'm closing out our home and solo parenting in Europe as the school year comes to a spring break. We double checked all with our private immigration lawyer, sent our packet in. My partner got her work permit as an RN for three years issued at the port of entry. She got her SIN, signed our lease, and started onboarding and pre-employment paperwork at her new job.

One HR person emailed her and said her work permit is no good as it doesnt match the internal job title and she wont let her work at the health agency. The same HR department that filled out the forms with immigration, sent the paperwork to us for her work permit, and resulted in her getting a permit to work for them and into the fucking country. We have never talked to this person, not once. Came out of the blue.

She tried emailing this person, ghosted. Calling. Nope. Now, no one will return her calls, our immigration lawyer lost her mind at this, and my partner is alone, anxious, in our empty new house in a new country. We...we can't afford an international relocation and a new home without, you know, the job they signed a contract to pay her for. I've already started emigration here, notified our landlord, pulling my son out of his school and moving him across an ocean and a continent. I'm an anxious mess...and I've seem some shit...but this is worse because I'm powerless and thousands of KM away. But worse, my partner in this world is alone, scared, and hurt.

What do you recommend I do? Any know-how with Canadian employment law? Sit, wait, calm down? Either way, thank you. I needed to get this out.

TL;DR

Wife got a job, signed offer and contract, we started a move across the world with valid work permit and welcome to Canada from border agent. Hard stop. One HR rep at her new job said the work permit they sponsored, advised her to get, and she got, is not good. They won't return her call or emails. Now its the weekend. So we wait anxiously for Monday to come and hope to talk to anyone.

Really simple ask. I want to complete my de-googling and de-USAing and have to transfer some domains to finish. Any recommendations for registrars?

Hey Beehaw!

I’m a burned out academic leaving the field. I’d like to learn something new as a means of recovery and healing from the trauma of this intense field. So, what should I learn? What do you recommend and where could I start?

That’s it. That’s my ask. Any and all recommendations welcome.

I was on the phone with my ex about an hour ago. First, the good news: her grandson fully recovered from Covid; she had to get off the phone to get him to a birthday party.

Now. The 4-year-old is fine, but ...

We veered into territory that even a few months ago would have lit a fuse. It wasn't "oh, I miss you so much" or anything like that, but we were talking about our sleep patterns, and I mentioned that I've only slept well in the past year while next to her in my couple of visits.

I fully expected "well, yeah, don't get used to that," and instead got "those are also the best nights of sleep I've gotten in a while."

I've not done much research into somatic connection, mostly because when you have it, no research is needed, and when you don't ... well, why bother?

I've heard vaguely about how bonded partners start regulating each others' systems. Breathing, cortisol, heart rate, that sort of thing. The body becomes reliant on the partner because it can't act on its own efficiently anymore.

This appears to be what's happening here.

And yet ... she says it's unsettled sleep, because she's not used to having anyone else in bed anymore.

I have no idea what to make of this, as it seems to simultaneously suggest comfort and aversion.

I have 8, some are pretty big pieces, and it’s been a while. I’m not sure if I would get more.

If you were to get tattooed what would it be and where?

Peru again is without a president. It’s been 7 presidents in 10 years, soon to be 9 (one temporary replacement and one election in April).

What would be different if there was no principal leader where you live? Would anything change?

It’s an ongoing debate I have with one of my students. He says English/language teachers specifically will have a hard time finding work in about 2-5 years. I disagree, especially for students who want a more conversational approach and can afford the classes.

What do y’all think?
