Yea, dongle is just objectively wrong.

Do you have any invites left? I’d love one if you do.

I don’t get how people are still pushing this nonsense. Over 200 million people have taken the Covid vaccine inside the US alone. If it was that dangerous we’d see SOME kind of evidence of it by now.

I was in a meeting today that was supposed to only last 30 minutes, but ended up almost 1.5 hours because the PM spent 45 minutes complaining about a design, before they even read the design, then spent the next 30 minutes after being explained the design walking back their complaints without ever admitting fault or acknowledging they were wrong.

The worst part? Just an average Friday sync.

Republicans are geographically dispersed while Democrats are generally packed into urban areas. We lose 100% of the time if we try the same gerrymandering tactics. We need to be smarter, not play their games.

If you think I’m wrong, show me a single state we could flip from red to blue by gerrymandering. You need to show your work though. You can’t just say X state, you have to show HOW you could flip the state by gerrymandering.

rational discourse on IRC

Hahahahahahahaha

To be fair all the “dancing around and jumping through hoops” is enabling developer mode (which is just a switch in the extension settings) and turning back on manifest 2 in chrome://flags then just reloading the extension.

3/4 of all states are needed to amend the constitution. So 38 of them. I can’t imagine getting 38 states to agree on anything.

Stacking draw cards is in the rules book, at least for uno no mercy. It says you could only stack equal to or higher.

There’s a term for this. A “self-fulfilling prophecy”

As an Italian American I would have so much fun jarring all those tomatoes into sauce.

Just waiting a couple more weeks for my step-dad to harvest all his tomatoes so the fun can begin.

I live in a decidedly middle class area and people driving golf carts around is super common. Some communities even have their own golf cart paths to the local grocery stores, and those stores have dedicated gold cart parking.

It’s very common at least in the US south east.

I could see why you were banned from reddit.

You definitely could use AI to code, the catch is you need to know how to code first.

I use AI to write code for mundane tasks all the time. I also review and integrate the code myself.

Honestly, that wouldn’t even be so bad if the majority of them weren’t dicks.

I totally agree that the current institutions that are US police forces are terrible at best, having a police force in general is needed. Unless you’re talking about anarchy which while interesting, is a completely different conversation.

I suspect you don’t have kids? Most schools require a laptop (usually Chromebooks). What do you do then other than parental controls?

I second the multi-monitior comment. I absolutely love my fold and I think that’s a great analogy.

It’s hard to say it’s worth the money though. I personally think it is, but I wouldn’t recommend most people spend $1500+ on a phone in general unless they have a really specific use case.

I have a Pixel 9 Fold and I absolutely love it. I don’t think I can ever go back to a regular phone.

That said, the fingernail thing isn’t a myth. I have a “scratch” (more like an indent) where I tried to clean something off the screen with my fingernail. It’s not bad and just like the fold, it’s only visible in certain lights, so it doesn’t bother me but you definitely have to be more careful with the inner screen than the outer. Though I suspect it’s the built in screen protector, not the actual screen.

Some interesting facts about excel I learned the hard way.

1. It only supports about a million or so rows
2. It completely screws up numbers if the column is a number and the number is over 15 digits long.

Not really related to what you said, but I’m still sore about the bad data import that caused me days of work to clean up.

I just don’t buy it. I’ve worked at plenty of companies and I never saw it work that way. Sure, I’ve seen “we have to interview more candidates” or “we need to write our job applications to be more inclusive”, but I never saw “we need to hire the lessor candidate because they’re x”.

In my experience when someone is whining that they lost a possible job to a “DEI hire”, they’re usually just butthurt that someone was better than them.
