Who would win?

3,000 sailors with a few dozen 2200 pound shells or a dozen people with a shit load of exploding drones?

Lakes in Minnesota are frozen something like 30 days less per year on average than they were in 1975.

Climate change deniers are either stupid, greedy, or both.

I’m a “software engineer.” One of the most interesting jobs I’ve had was working on a team of (mostly) electrical engineers at an industrial tool manufacturer. Most of the team designed electronics (primarily IC’s) for the controls. A few of us designed software that interacted with said controls.

That experience taught me that engjneering, at its core, is just solving problems in a given domain with a a specific set of “tools”. I was amazed by how much thought process overlap there is between software and electronics engineering.

My job is solving business problems. Writing code is auxiliary to that. And even though I don’t have have a degree or any certifications, none of the people on that team ever talked down to me or tried to make me feel inferior.

Management material, right here.

The “Great American State Fair” bombed epically so it’s time to drag this tired old corpse of what used to be a horse back out so we can beat it some more.

I’ve found LLM’s to be pretty decent at writing one-off scripts for boring tasks. “Baby wipe scripts.” Use them to clean up the shit and throw them away.

Wait, are you implying that poor people will from red states don’t do a whole lot of international travel because I would never have guessed that.

And I would bet they’re banking on losing considering the administrations approval ratings have exited the toilet and are currently on their way to the sewer plant.

Oh, it’s very real. It’s also warm and yellow.

I’ve been using Porkbun for years. No complaints.

It’s called a “cruel irony”, like my dependence on medication that I have to remember to take every day.

but my doctor said I just wasn’t trying hard enough. Broke my spirit.

That’s how you know you’re talking to the wrong doctor. “Just try harder” is not a solution to executive function disorders. If it were, I would have been a “straight A” student instead of a barely passing one. Stimulants revealed, among numerous other things, that I actually can do math and I’m not a complete and utter moron. My brain just has a physical defect whereby some parts of it are unable to sufficiently absorb neurotransmitters.

Through my extensive experience with doctors, I have learned that generally speaking – not always, mind you – doctors are familiar with their own narrow field and nothing outside of it. They also often have as much hubris than the average person and, much like the rest of us, tend to feel threatened by the unknown.

You need to find a doctor that that is either familiar with ADHD and how to effectively treat it, or one who is at least willing to work towards improving your quality of life and is willing to do some serious trial and error to that end.

“How green clean was my valley code base then and the code base of them that have gone. Before the technical debt heap rose up, burying everything in its path.”

“Art of the Deal”

Could not handle tower climbing. My hands are getting sweaty just looking at this picture.

Some of the users definitely like to pontificate a bit much and there’s still gaps in reliable clients for some platforms (e.g. Apple TV). That said, Jellyfin, as a service, is solid.

Past me was a moron sometimes.

Well when you fire all the competent people or demoralize them so much that they quit, this kind of bullshit is what you’re left with.

I was really disappointed when Resident Alien was cancelled. It’s a good show.
