There is a very specific age group that just cannot seem to tolerate when children cut their parents off, even when the child has significant cause.
There is a reason for that.
This is also an extreme example of ableism and the harm it can cause.
My boyfriend didn’t want to “deal with” my disabilities.
My extreme allergies were part of them.
He wanted to “fix me”.
This happens to so many of us. Were abused, abandoned, discriminated against or worse
The “male loneliness epidemic” is largely because men haven’t learned how to behave.
Women are fed up.
I had an ex who didn’t “believe” my food allergies were severe.
He made dinner one night and snuck spices into the food to trap me in a “gotcha”
I wrote this Format dialog back on a rainy Thursday morning at Microsoft in late 1994, I think it was.
We were porting the bajillion lines of code from the Windows95 user interface over to NT, and Format was just one of those areas where WindowsNT was different enough from Windows95 that we had to come up with some custom UI.
I got out a piece of paper and wrote down all the options and choices you could make with respect to formatting a disk, like filesystem, label, cluster size, compression, encryption, and so on.
Then I busted out VC++2.0 and used the Resource Editor to lay out a simple vertical stack of all the choices you had to make, in the approximate order you had to make. It wasn't elegant, but it would do until the elegant UI arrived.
That was some 30 years ago, and the dialog is still my temporary one from that Thursday morning, so be careful about checking in "temporary" solutions!
I also had to decide how much "cluster slack" would be too much, and that wound up constraining the format size of a FAT volume to 32GB. That limit was also an arbitrary choice that morning, and one that has stuck with us as a permanent side effect.
So remember... there are no "temporary" checkins :)

To maximize patient outcomes, we must address both humans and technology to ensure they work together to preserve dignity for the aging.

@anthonyocampo Yes! I would love this and would be one of your first customers. One of first NCFDD bootcamp grads so know your service would be high value.
it’s been a longtime dream of mine to be a jerry maguire for academics…basically take folks who got great ideas & shepherd them to larger platforms—writing big books, speaking on bigger platforms, etc.
curious if there are scholars who’d actually be interested in this service.
