I'm a principal backend engineer routinely writing Ruby for my day job, so I'm familiar, lol. But you can't do it for local variables and that just sucks. Definitely a +1 for Elixir.
Right?! I can get my fruit and veg locally, but there should be no problem getting canned food, dried staples, and shelf-stable goods delivered.
I think the only thing stopping it is political will. I haven't heard anyone else even calling for it.
"Oh no, I'm one acquisition short of a monopsony, so you should all blame suppliers instead of me! I definitely have no influence over the cost of input!"
I want a public option. Make basic essentials purchasable online from a warehouse near you and then expand the existing Canada Post distribution network to bring me my damn rice and beans.
I have a rum and coke maybe once every six months. Even a single shot of alcohol makes me uncomfortably hot so I'd rather just have straight coke instead. I really only break out the rum when it's been an awful, awful day and I want to take the edge off.
As a person who homeschools his three kids, it is tough but it is possible to find folks. We've lived in some pretty remote places and there's usually at least a few families within a half-hour drive. In cities, it's a lot easier.
Can I ask if you have any tips for this? Before this, I hadn't heard anything from anyone with a similar problem like ours. My goodest boy is a 9 month old Portuguese Water Dog and he recently decided that the floor boards and every single one of my daughters' Barbies weren't enough to destroy and began removing the carpet for us.
He's so smart and seems to be very empathetic when he's not in destruction mode, but the constant destruction of things is putting a knot in what is an otherwise beautiful relationship right now. We've trained leave-it and settle down, but he'll still grab things and if he's left alone in his safe room he'll find ways to make it unsafe.
It's not immediately apparent in the interface like it might have been in other communities using third-party software. (It would be really nice to access the feature using the kebab menu on the home page listing page, e.g. this:
.)
But at least on sh.itjust.works, you can access the feature through the Settings link:
... buried under your username menu, and then by clicking the 'Blocked' tab.
I hope that's helpful to someone else like me who wanted this feature too and didn't realize it existed!
EDIT: It's also actually a lot easier to find if you click into the community; there's a big ol' 'Block community' button:
