  • Ah, but as you say, people only care when they’re “going to” lay in it, meaning they’re not in the bed yet. Once you’re in bed, you pretty much never need to specify the left or right side, you can say “shit, i spilled a drink on your side!”

    So, since we only care about left and right sides while we’re not in bed, I say who cares about the in-bed perspective. What matters is how it is oriented while you’re standing up and looking at it. So that’s how I’d assign left and right side.





  • You did something due to peer pressure at an age when kids are obsessed with fitting in. In the course of doing so, you realized it was wrong and you stopped. Even now, presumably years later, you still feel bad about it. I’d say you’re good, every single one of us has done things (often involving inappropriate actions) we look back on and regret. You’re fine.


  • A view is a saved query that pretends it’s a table. It doesn’t actually store any data. So if you need to query 10 different tables, joining them together and filtering the results specific ways, a view would just be that saved query, so instead of “SELECT * FROM (a big mess of tables)” you can do “SELECT * FROM HandyView”



  • Wasn’t there a study that found if you tell people you’re working on something, you get the same brain reward chemicals as if you actually did it and told everyone? So if you tell people before you’re done, you might just go “meh, I’m good, the rest sounds hard”. Or something like that.











  • Experiencing something that is truly novel to me, whether it’s a culture, a food, a story, or any other thing, is such an exciting and rewarding feeling. That’s a big one.

    Spending time with people I love, and feeling loved in return from then will never get old, that’s certainly up there at the tippy top.

    And certain physical experiences are great too. Delicious meals, comfy pajama, music that brings tears to my eyes.

    These are a few of my favorite things.
