Unless you think “from scratch” sounds nice.

Trumpism is a cult. Plain and simple. This is cult behavior.

I realize that’s very dismissive, but in this case I think that’s a good thing. You could spend years debunking their every claim, anti-fact, and bad faith argument–and there’s a time and a place for those discussions–but there’s no need to burden your mind with the mountain of their nonsense. You don’t have to read the whole Time Cube page to determine that its author isn’t worth listening to for astrophysical insights.

Aww hell yeah that looks nice. Can’t wait to try it out.

How on earth have I never seen a Mr Beast video? YT has never even suggested it that I can remember, and I’ve been on the lookout for a few months ever since I heard about him on–and this is peak irony–the radio.

And that’s why you should get this version instead!

I love getting years of good service from old computers, but I do want to add something: old laptop means old battery, and if they’re not producing the same form factor anymore, then even a replacement battery will probably be old stock that’s been degrading for years. Unfortunately I don’t know what company’s models have the best longevity here in terms of battery form factor.

What amazes me is that we pretty much are converting, just very slowly, one thing at a time. In school we all learn the metric system, and it’s used all over in industry and government. At the supermarket, everything is labeled in both systems, and some things have started trending towards metric as the default. We are all used to the 2L bottle size. The old fifth of a gallon bottle, though some still call it that, has been replaced by the 750ml bottle. More recently the 20oz bottle has been phased into the .5L, mainly–I’m sure–to shrink the amount while keeping prices the same, but still it’s progress in this regard.

I think the transformation will be effectively complete when highway signs use kilometers. But I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Sure there are edge cases and whatnot, but just go ahead and move the drive over. If it doesn’t work I’ll buy you a beer.

What? Really? But as a cartoon how does that even work if it’s not ironic? … He asked rhetorically, knowing the right wing humor is basically just incoherent hate.

Thank you for this explanation.

It’s not just about treating current employees well. It’s also about offering enough at the hiring stage to attract more good workers. Higher starting pay and a better reputation as a place to work means more people applying, means that Methface Matt can’t compete with TypeA Teresa to get hired in the first place.

My MO is much cheaper. I just throw produce waste into a corner of my back yard and see what starts growing. Right now I’ve got about 10 pumpkin plants taking off like crazy. A jalapeño plant too!

More and more I feel it’s best to think of software as existing in a quantum state of all possible feature/bug combinations. Between updates that can occur on any facet of the software’s intricacies, algorithm quirks, human interventions, and clandestine beta testing on unsuspecting groups of users, who the fuck knows.

Hey that’s cool. I’m late to the party but just in time to wish you a happy lunch. What’re you having?

Dammit!

Unlike capitalism, which is a bunch of random people climbing on eachothers back and when one gets to the top he is not expected to pull the others up.
