I'm reticent to put up a post when I glaze over immediately when I read them anywhere, not just here. And I don't mean to disparage, but my perception is that there's not much goin' on introspectively, I suppose. that or there are mountains of expectations around shared objectives and pastimes and I think that's bare fraction of it. So the brass tacks are that I'm looking for friends for mail of the electronic variety or PMs (I can't handwrite for nothin' and have little nostalgia.) I'd like to think I have a critical eye and mind but I'm just a rube with half-developed opinions whether it's on art or society or anything. Maybe we can work ours collectively out? I guess that's what I'm reall

Specifically, I'm looking, yearning, to crawl into the brain cage of a brain that I find fascinating because it's been far too long. To that end, I'm going to be pretty specific about the sort of person I am and the sort of person I'm looking for.

• I both don't want someone who's going to be a yes person, but also who isn't a huge downer. and someone who generally cogitates like I do.
• I have to start out by, uh, unmasking the elephant in the room and saying that I'm absolutely not looking to talk to any conservatives. I believe... I must believe in the possibility for things to be better and that things are not zero-sum.
• I also believe in what is in front of me, and reason.
• also, no b

I'll be short with this and and be blunt with what I'm looking for. In honesty, it's pretty specific and rare and I don't have the energy to sort through a bunch of situations when I know what I'm looking for and it's pretty straightforward and what someone of a similar mindset and position would also be looking for.

I have a house, a car, I'm saving for retirement. I don't really want for anything which know sounds pretty conceited, privileged and not "ambitious" as people often pay lip service to. So I'm not looking for total works in progress on that front. If you couldn't have the time and space to take at least a couple larger trips or each year or picking up a bigger mutual hobby (TB

and now the impossible task of k.i.s.s.:

i've got my ducks in a row and i'm looking for a person or people to "go big" with.

i live in central texas. i have a car, a house and a good remote job and more than i like frankly. i might retire in a few years, but it’s a "when i feel like it" sort of thing. i'll likely be outta here, but to where? i do not want kids. i want to travel more than i do, and i have less mental energy than i’d like. i’m not excusing it, but don’t many of us? i’m 6'1" and so-so fit. my fitness things are lifting and running 5k at least a few times a week (i just set a new p.b. which is weird because i’m getting fucking old.) i did almost die a couple years ago and now

You know that cute older couple you met on vacation once that were a month into their several month long vacation, who’d return to home base after to pick up their hobbies and/or life’s work while planning another trip? Yeah, I want that.

I usually write tomes so I’ll try to be terse-ish for a change:

I:

• I have a stable life. I have my own place and a job without any crazy requirements: Normal hours, low stress, little travel.
• I like, and I'm not afraid to, learn and try new things.
• I might not be a super rugged athlete and daredevil, but I'd totally consider going backpacking/training for a marathon/jumping out of plane/etc, just as random examples.
• I have the usual habits of con

The one in futures-util is apparently not fair at all.

I've observed this: I have a simulator loop in a blocking task that takes a lock each iteration, and other tasks that try to come in and do their thing in between those locks will wait an arbitrary amount of time on the order of many seconds, even though the lock is released many times per second.

Is there some sort of wrapper for parking_lot? Since I already have that in my dependency tree. There's future-parking_lot, but that hasn't been touched in eight months and depends on an old Tokio (I don't even u

So I have a coroutine I've spawned via asio::spawn that's handling an HTTP connection.

I have a shared object with a bunch of variables that I want to use from various HTTP handlers. To that end, I have a strand to serialize access to these variables.

I know I can asio::spawn(<strand>, <handler>) initially, but I don't want to hog the strand for the whole HTTP connection.

Is there a way I can suspend/awaken my coroutine inside a strand, and then suspense/awaken back outside when I'm done?

Initially I was just using asio::spawn(<strand>, <handler>) to execute operations on my shared object because I don't strictly need to wait for things to finish, but I'm antici

So someone hit me on my motorcycle. At the time I was frazzled at the time and didn't call the police. I filed a claim and find the car was uninsured. I don't have uninsured motorist property damage, so my insurance company can't help. The bike's frame was bent, so dealers won't touch it and independent bikes shop would only swap the frame if I find one, but I would have to get it retitled as reconstructed, as far as I can tell. That's all a huge pain I really shouldn't be dealing with on my own time.

I'm considering bringing them to small claims court to try and get the value of the bike, as it's by most standards totaled. That'd be $~4200 (this is in Texas, the max for small claims is $10

I know it's verrry unlikely that I'll find someone with a similar situation and goals, but I think the rewards are far too great to not be willing to try and fail. Also, I figure out know if you clicked, but: DINK = Double Income, No Kids and FI/RE = Financial Independence/Retiring Early.

Essentially, I'd like to at least partially retire at 40, give or take a few years. I just really would not like to "live to work", I don't you can have a true "work-life balance" in a 40+ hour/week job, and I don't want to get to 60 or 70 and then have free time, but not be in as good a place physically or mentally as I am now. I'm also not really interested in having kids. For a myriad of reasons, but in
