Volunteering today at datajam at st. Mary's. Please send a search party later because I'll never find my way out on my own... Lol!

Heckle & Code Welcome to Heckle & Code.Where the logic is (mostly) sound, but the commentary is questionable. We spend our time building cool things, breaking even cooler things, and roasting our laptops until

Took a while, we pivoted to incorporate, and then had to set up new bank account etc. Working on sites and themes for friends, whimsical projects that interest us. Set up a buymeacoffee.com/heckleandcode, maybe someone might find something we do useful. Apple and Google developer accounts soon.

I'm freaking exhausted. Too much to keep up with to make anything

Why is setting up banking so damn frustrating. Why do i need to call someone, I have my card number, I have all the info needed, and my email is already associated. Let me sign up for online banking already. I hate talking to people!

Might have to take up a collection for this brat. 114.00 for 7 lbs of food because he seems to be allergic to something. Will eliminate all the things and reintroduce them one by one when he's better. Hopefully can go back to cheaper kibble

Most likely because of retention rules on the government emails. Trying to prevent having to own up to something they say. Shouldn't be allowed to use non official accounts for government communication imo

Dear grocery stores with record profits.. How about designing a shopping cart that's has better access and storage layout, and more importantly, working wheels? It's 2026 a skateboard and bike can go thousands of miles, but your wheels can't roll?

YOU WAKE UP COLD IN YOUR $3000/MONTH BACHELOR APARTMENT. IT'S LIGHTLY RAINING SO YOUR POWER IS OUT. YOU'RE SICK BUT WILL NEVER HAVE A FAMILY DOCTOR. YOU SKIP BREAKFAST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AFFORD GROCERIES. YOU PUT HIKING BOOTS ON SO YOU DON'T FALL ON THE UNPAVED SIDEWALKS. YOU MOVE PAST THE 30 MINUTE WAIT FOR THE 15 MINUTE BUS AS STUDENTS WALK BY WHO CAN NO LONGER TAKE IT. IN FRONT OF THE CLOSED MUSEUM IS A PARKED CAR DESTROYED BY A POTHOLE. A TENT CITY WHERE UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE GETTING READY FOR WORK IS BEING HARASSED BY POLICE. YOU ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL AND PREPARE FOR YOUR 27 HOUR WAIT, THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU MISS IN HALIFAX.

After the past week, really not mentally prepared for work today, but I guess all I can do is try and put one foot ahead of the other for as long as I can.

I dunno what bug I've got, there's definitely a sinus infection here, but a flu too perhaps. I feel like utter crap, can't keep on my feet at all

Just that sometimes, for me at least, yelling into the void is all I have, and it does help me.

I've not really slept since Tuesday night, I was too upset Wednesday and didnt get home from the hospital till late.

Last night was filled with anxiety, panic attacks, and nightmares. It was a scary situation and your not supposed to see skin like that.

I'm not looking for sympathy, or comments

On top of that, of course I needed to get sick, and have what I beleive is a sinus infection. I did get meds for that today but that was an adventure, as they originally prescribed me amoxacillin ( i didnt notice, more on that to come) which I am allergic to.

To ensure there was no damage to his heart, to ensure no pneumonia sets in, to check his sternum from the aggressive heimlich preformed by me and emergency services.

These past couple days have been from hell. Wednesday my brother choked on a meatball. It lodged so low they had to sedate him and use forceps to remove it. There was a huge fear of oxygen deprivation. Thankfully, that seems not the case. He was transported to hospital and will be there

Can have multiple drinks and coffee a day at home and never spill anything, but the moment I'm in public?

On a somewhat related note, how does city paving work? Is it to the lowest bidder? Does that also mean lower quality? Would our costs be less overall if we paid more at the beginning? (and dont get me started on paving in december, when its too cold to meld together)

Yes there are a couple AI images, but I have no budget to commission anyone to make what I wanted. That said if I ever do, I will replace.
