Imagine actually going to daily standup, wow

I made a daily meeting invite, and told my team to never show up to it. Lets them show up to work an hour later since I put it in the calendar for 930-10.

Why wouldn’t a microwave in the UK also be 3000W? Maybe it would instantly vaporize water and kill you when you open it?

It sounds like the issue is that UK may have weak microwaves compared to their kettles.

EV Miata please. With 4 wheel drive and a power hard top convertible.

Which will also mean a renaissance for classic vehicles for EV conversions. Currently the EV market is too small to really support them, but as EVs start hitting junkyards, it will become a big deal.

Sure does!

Love Bernie but it’s time to move over for someone younger.

The “aspirational spending” is real. It’s all over. It’s why you can finance just about everything on Amazon these days.

It took about a decade to undo the conditioning I gained in college and grad school to wake up every day at noon. Now, ten years later in my early 40s, I’m able to wake up at 10 am.

He’s not though, you should look into it

The day I learned that Linus shares my disdain for all things OOP was such a good day for me.

The censorship gets to me, too.

Try asking bing image creator to draw Jesus. Not a problem. Buddha, Ganesha, David and Goliath, Zeus, no problem. It will give you great depictions.

Now try asking it to draw the prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. No joy.

Censorship.

You know they’d still be shooting people, right?

People are posting all kinds of ridiculous solutions that they know are impossible. Legalize drugs. Use less drugs. The cartels run more than just drugs! They run fucking avocados!! And electronics!! They have diversified. Never mind that it’s politically impossible to do anything like that. It can’t happen.

Invading Mexico and shooting the cartels CAN happen. It gives money to the defense industry, which itself is enough reason that it could happen. It’s probably even in the USA’s best interest to try and de-corrupt Mexico (never mind that this would be a bloody mess with huge loss of life). My point isn’t that it’s a good idea, it’s that it’s a solution that could actually happen in real life.

Thanks so much for the reply. I didn’t understand that it’s private; I figured it was just aggregating Zillow and Craigslist postings etc, which are public. If that isn’t the case, then yes I can see how it might be illegal.

How is this different than gas stations looking at a price tracking app to set their prices? You know, the apps that show you what gas costs all over town. It’s just information, and they obviously make the choice to raise prices when theirs are low compared to peer competitors.

That doesn’t mean a gas station doesn’t charge less when it’s in an undesirable location, or charge more when it’s in a busy location. Same is true for housing.

I know everyone is pissed about the high cost of housing, but this case doesn’t really have merit. It’s not the horse to cheer for.

No way to get there except by dramatically reducing fossil fuel use, but there are countries that don’t want to do that. At some point you have to threaten them.

GA is about 10 times more dangerous per hour than driving.

I have some on my team

They can’t write to save their lives. I’m not sure if that’s generalized or not.

They really need to fix their messaging and how the media talks about inflation.

Inflation isn’t low, it’s very high. The inflation RATE is back down to reasonable levels, but you can’t ever get rid of inflation without some policies that have very very very low support.

Oh yeah raping people at music festivals is the best way ever to resist oppression.

You know, I remember when MLK raped people at music festivals. Same with Gandhi. That’s actually how the USA got independence from England; they picked a music festival in England, killed some people there, raped some, killed them too, and paraded their corpses around.
