No I’m not shilling. Germany literally just recently shut them all down, and now are complaining about rising energy costs sending them into a recession. A problematic move that was predicted by just about everybody, even most germans thought it was a bad idea.

And now we have this article. Pro nuclear or not, axing a huge chunk of your country’s power production in an age of exponentially growing power demands, is definitely not a good idea.

Germany: shuts down all their nuclear power plants.

Also Germany: why is power so expensive?

Block, turn, and kick it!

Now punch punch punch!

Hey now, we’re supposed to be arguing here, don’t go posting things about onions that I agree with. Onions suck, and overpower any food you add them to. Gross.

Oh yeah, well have you considered that your face is flavorless?

I bet you didn’t.

So take that.

You’re bad at arguing.

I season my food. Read what I wrote.

I never mentioned French fries, I was talking mashed and baked potatoes, but if you wanna talk about french fries, those suck too.

1. Unseasoned meat can be delicious, the meat just has to be very good quality.

2. More importantly, I don’t mean seasonings. Yes absolutely salt and season your meals, but even salted and otherwise seasoned potatoes are still pretty dang bland. In order for potatoes to be good, you need to add gravy, or cheese, or bacon or a whole other variety of things and combos of other food to make potatoes tasty. I won’t say that a loaded up baked or mashed potatoes with all the bits isn’t good, because it is. It’s just that potatoes themselves are overrated.

You can take any meat, steak, chicken, pork, whatever, season with salt and pepper, and it’s good. They each have their own distinct flavor. You can lightly salt and oil a good handful of different vegetables and they’re good on their own. Hell even plain ass white rice with salt, pepper, and butter is pretty good. Do the same with potatoes, still bland, meh at best.

I really don’t think mashed potatoes are that good. I argue that any good meal needs to stand on its own, and any food that requires extra sauce, or other additives to make it good are not good enough for a meal.

Id even argue they are not even that good as a side dish, as combine with other food, the best they do is taste like the juice of meat, but more commonly they only add more blandness to whatever your eating, making it less than if eating without mashed potatoes.

If it wasn’t an interesting concept, then why does it say it is?

Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it bit him in the face!

-that happened once

Computer over. Virus = very yes

Yeah same man. While I’ve been looking, I’ve allowed myself to be super picky with the next job, because I was so burnt out and bitter at my last job. Being home with my baby twins has been great.

Watching my bank account steadily drain, and panicking every night about losing our house and being unable to feed them however has not been as great.

Can’t relate. Was laid off in May, still looking >.>

Ask him if he would like to take a trip to Ireland to celebrate his graduation. I’m sure he won’t be starting work immediately, but if he already has a job it’s an easy excuse for at least a 2 week vacation. You could offer to show him around where you live and all the cool spots. Introduce him to your friends and do some of the things you all usually do for fun. Then you can take a trip to the touristy spots, which is conveniently a great excuse to get a room for night in the city, ya know, to make sure you have enough time to see everything and not worry about the travel time and such. Then for the end of the trip, just spend the time relaxing, and hanging out together. Give yourselves the time to get comfortable doing the day to day routine, give him a chance to experience what regular life in Ireland might be if he were to stay a bit longer.

Is that not just 2.4 trillion?

Can’t wait to hear about space X satellites falling out of a window.

Pretty similar to what’s going on with Twitter right now.

Let’s be fair here. While that is the point of the Scott and Ramona story, the movie didn’t really put a lot of effort into portraying that. The comics went a little more deeply into that dynamic and fleshing out the relationship, it was still pretty much the background against the character personality showcasing, and over the top dramatic fights. The movie really did nail the vibe and the characters but the whole “I think I learned something” and the end of the movie really downplays the “lesson” of the whole plot. So much so that I don’t think Scott himself even fully understood the actual lesson he just learned. Just that what he was doing was wrong, and needed to change, but not why and what exactly it was he needed to change.

Great movie for sure, even better comic series, but a deep complex plot it isn’t.

In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.

At my company, we just have a standardized remote management suffix that we just throw at the end of the hostname, so we don’t actually track the urls. For example the server is named frosty, the url would be frostysuffix.

Then we track our servers with either an outdated access database that nobody updates, my locally saved personal Excel sheet, or by logging into one of the 4 different health checking applications that each monitor a piece of the infrastructure. (This part actually really sucks and I hate it.)
