It does include kids. And the in-laws are a highway away.

I don’t drive daily to work and use public transit and walk when I can, but we do every now and then need to drive somewhere. The E-Bike doesn’t work there.

It’s a shame because my wife and I are saving up for an EV but I’m worried by the time we’re ready the models won’t be there. They’re already cutting the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Our top contender.

I’m not a full time game dev. The times I’ve tried using Godot I don’t know how much Gen AI lends itself to it. Unless you build an engine in scratch you’re mostly stitching visual + audio elements together. Anytime I’ve tried to use Gen AI for it it backfires spectacularly.

Ethical concerns notwithstanding you need to be precise for animations to look legit and Gen AI just can’t do that. They often just look like garbage.

The only thing it’s been useful for is asking questions of “how do I do X? Point me to documentation “. Woo?

“I’ll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic. See if I can track down the IP Address”

We just need Mr. Beast to pump up Riyadh in a few more videos to white wash this away.

I thought it was the ability to be blonde and skinny.

TC = Total Compensation

In tech jobs you usually get a combo of salary + bonus + stock grants that vest at different times. Your TC is those 3 numbers and averaged over the year.

So my message above translates to “how rich do I need to be to get a new wife.” Horrible shit.

I knew a guy when I was in big tech that’d lost $40K plus in draft kings per year.

Fucking insane what people pour into these.

I’m not opposed to sports betting on its own, but I am absolutely appalled at how much it’s bastardized everything.

It’s one thing if it’s in small doses and you can sort of just ignore it. It’s another thing when EVERY FUCKING SITE AND PLATFORM has gambling odds, gambling ads, gambling sponsors. Etc. You can’t blink without these predators trying to siphon money from people.

If I were a recovering gambling addict and sports fan id be heartbroken right now.

I violently cling to the couch watching Rick and Morty. Does that count?

This is why anything I need to do serious work on does not get Windows installed on it. Even OSX doesn’t pull this.

This has to be a fake test lol

I don’t know I think looking critically at why someone has a rooting interest in claims IS valuable.

Yeah using it as a silver bullet to kill all discussion can suck, but outright removing that context is going to leave others trying to engage in good faith in the lurch.

It’s the thing Republicans have been exploiting about trans people in sports for the past few years. They ask you “don’t look at the people asking just ask yourself if this is fair to sports”. It leaves out a lot of malice in the claims like

• the people asking about sports despise trans people as a whole and this issue is a stepping stone for them
• the party as a whole doesn’t care but needs a boogeyman to distract from their dreadful policies and lunatics at the helm of things

I’m not accusing the author of going that far but I need to illustrate why separating the argument from the author just isn’t a great idea.

I worked for a small company right out of college.

The CEO was a used car salesman that would say whatever he thought he could get away with to make a sale. At one point he claimed our software would have prevented 9/11 if it were installed on government computers.

This smoking claim sounds exactly like that kind of bullshit liars sprinkle in when they think no one is gonna call them on their BS

I feel like being a bot has better benefits.

Eating that cut on deep dish or a stuffed pizza would be an adventure

They also don’t deodorize.

Don’t take my rabid shark deodorant away from me.

Honestly hot take I never cared for it either. Not even the first season.

I get why people like it but the fact that the actual mystery ends in a wet fart just ruined the whole thing for me.
