If you’re reading this and have never tried this, get some, it’s a religious experience. You might find god. God might be a very sick cat.

Proof:

A nothingburger, being devoid of any and all resemblance to a Hamburg steak, is still a burger.

Ergo, the “burgerness” of a hamburger shares nothing but a name with the eponymous steak.

Q.E.D.

He has a personal armed guard that’s legally obligated to keep him safe., way more resources to make that happen, and is very likely riddled with brain worms. Not a great meat sack to compare a sane person to.

Yeah, now say that on a literal stage, with a microphone, in front of thousands, while the whole thing is being recorded.

Oh and you’re famous enough that it would be trivial for a pissed off crazy person with a gun to figure out where you and your children live.

I’m certain the first thing that came to mind wasn’t money.

Exactly. This asshole wants people to stop yelling at them for “just wanting a fiscal conservative” in office. (The guy in the pic, not OP)

Try contracting in your spare time to get some variety.

Try contracting full time If you want to fast forward to that next life.

POV: The Dishwasher

It really is saying something that it’s waaay worse now.

It took me a year but I broke my team of this habit. The trick was to remind them that the parking lot shouldn’t be scheduled. The whole point is that you continue conversations organically so that it’s more like the beginning of a working session instead of the end of a meeting.

What If “healer” was assigned at random at the start of a match of no one picks it, healers weren’t on either team, land were scored separately by how many people they revived?

Apple is a strange beast. I was at their space ship HQ getting interviewed, and the guy kept pointing random facts about it. Like, this particular wood was harvested in the winter so that made it better, or that entire segments can be siloed off, or that the full height glass walls of the cafeteria can be opened on pivots, and there was just so much effort in making sure things worked just right.

Meanwhile [this team] had to test software fixes for their product by provisioning ancient Mac mini’s in a closet lab because they wanted to test the “full experience” and so every patch and update they had to do was painful and horribly tested. They all hated each other (which was obvious to me just from my time in their interviews, so it must have gotten really bad during the workday I imagine). Everyone seemed on edge all the time. Even the people in the hallways. But they were all super excited that they could order lattes from the iPads tethered to the break room countertops. And they had an apple orchard I guess. The idea of changing how they do what they do was completely unentertainable.

The whole experience felt surreal, like I had stepped into the world according to The Onion.

Whelp, I’m dead. GG hippo.

It was very much a product of its time. It was alright.

Same. When my dad turned retirement age I would make absolutely sure every waiter and cashier knew he was a senior. I’d loudly ask if his senior discount had been applied. Ah, the sweetest of petty revenges.

(Karmic backlash: my kid has always been tall and strong for his age. I lost out on years worth of “kids for free” discounts. The ONE time I tried to eek him under an age limit he quite expertly shut down any shenanigans by stating his birth date, age to the day, and a proclamation that he would be ordering from the non-kid menu anyway, so it didn’t matter. He had just turned 6.)

It’s probably very easy to paint minis with two thumbs and five fingers per hand

Almost. That’s the Future Enterprise D.

It is, and it’s a valid complaint. Go and Rust have handled it differently than Python or JavaScript, and all of them have their faults and bonuses.

It’s a load bearing S.

Implement doesn’t mean “manifest from the aether with zero work”. It means do every step until it’s done. This is like step 5 of a lot.
