Fricken, better.

We’re all FBI agents on this blessed day.

We know, but we don’t have time to change. We have another site waiting to get slammed out as soon as the one we’re working on, which was underfunded with a ridiculous timeline goes live.

There’s still a fair bit of “my nephew makes websites, it can’t be that [hard, expensive, time consuming], oh and by the way, e we need a way to edit every word and image on the site, that both our intern and barely literate CEO can understand, even though we’re literally never going to edit anything ever.”

Rivian was also first to market and showed their concept a year and a half before the cyber truck reveal (where the first showed it and smashed its windows).

That was before the right made up “public/private partnerships” to hide government handouts to Boeing, defense contractors, drug companies, and Monsanto (or whatever their new name is).

That’s not water

Aren’t ribs a good thing sometimes?

Thanks for that nightmare fuel.

Netflix DVD service is missed.

Yeah the DMCA really fucked things up for creative work. It’s way too easy to take down things you don’t like fraudulently.

I miss my free cable and Wi-Fi in my first Boston apartment. I didn’t discover it worked until 2 months into living there (just after 9/11 actually). It went month to month when the owners sold the place and we wouldn’t have ever left if it weren’t for the shitty icebox and terrible parking in that neighborhood.

This is why is assumed they mark them to overwrite. Google knows a lot about what makes drives last longer, and OS and drive firmware makers have known for decades too.

I figured they were trying to ban them so we wouldn’t learn what they actually do with lost luggage.

It’s a contribution thing. He contributed enough to society to deserve to not worry about money for the rest of his life. It’s rare though since we have a bunch of billionaires who skim the rewards from huge swaths of the population who also have contributed their part.

The financialization of retirement is a huge part of the problem for the middle class (or what’s left of it, upper-lower-class is probably more accurate). We have to invest in these assholes in order to save for retirement. The harder workers in services, laborers, and fields don’t even get that.

They’re probably spending intervening 10 months cleaning all the embarrassing comments out of the code before the initial commit.

I’ve been saying this pretty much since I started working in tech in 2005.

They paid too well for a while and gave nice lunches and free lattes while sucking 60-70 hours per week out if us.

I quit and fix cars now with hardly any retirement funds and shit health and dental care.

Massachusetts has had decent right to repair for a decade too. And had universal healthcare way back too. They just got legal weed recently, but like the others, cost of living is rough there. Boston, Somerville and Cambridge housing, but you’re stuck in Boston.

Stack overflow has been one of the consistently reliable googleable sites for decades.

It’s a shame Quora has strayed so far from their initial cloning of SO’s site. It seems to be turning into AskYahoo 2 fast from the results I’ve seen lately.

Sounds like a job for the torque test channel.

Lead acid batteries seem to be less and less reliable lately. The warranties are shorter and shorter as well, which is the best supporting evidence I have beyond needing batteries more often for the 4-5 vehicles I maintain.
