  • They just add a cheap herb mix to everything. Why do so many people fall for it?

  • I'm seeing great uptake with these "variables", but I'm going to put marketing in the loop to make sure variable names are aligned with customer expectations. All new variables must be signed off after focus group testing and consultation. Why use i when you can use iVariablePro?

  • It's better than all the years I didn't have one, no doubt. I just didn't expect this much maintenance.

  • I never get much focus on code these days because there's always something else to fix in the real world. The list of ideas keeps growing, while I work on the garden, repair tools, maintain vehicles,...

  • In some jurisdictions, groups of small vehicles like this can move through intersections as if they were a single vehicle. It makes sense because a peleton would take forever to move through a stop sign otherwise, and nobody wants that.

    It's possible the front of the group stopped, and when the riders in the shot caught up the front of the group was already proceeding.

  • Where do you find inspiration? I bought one too after too many years away, but I forgot to order a muse.

  • David Lynch's attempt at Dune.

  • It sucks that the beams were calibrated for the average human body weight 2000 years ago. Apparently they weren't kidding when they made gluttony a sin.

  • People in positions to influence product direction must always be demonstrating that they're "innovating" like this to justify their existence and typically inflated salaries.

    I remember when big data was the buzz. Everyone had to have big data, but nobody knew what to do with it. I would do presentations to rooms full of execs, and they would brag about how much data they had, but none could tell you how it added any value.

  • Netflix is the only one I have left now, and that's only because I share the account with multiple people, so it's more like 1/4 of a subscription. If I cancelled they would end up with more subscribers.

  • You're right to be concerned. Something similar happened in my family, and it did not end well at all.

    The ages were more like 16 and 36, which is legal here, and her family supported it, but that didn't stop the grooming accusations. When the relationship failed (which is very likely when one partner has very little life experience), his reputation was ruined. He was severely beaten by other men who thought they were protecting her, and he was effectively run out of town.

    However they might feel now, not everyone will see it the same way. This has consequences.

  • Do corvettes use more fuel for interstellar trips as well?

    In general, starships seem easier to optimise for stats, so they will have the edge on many things, especially combat where you want good handling on top of shields and damage.

    Just my impression. I haven't tested any of this because I've been focused on the creative aspect of corvettes.

  • Same, after I tried all the other Fireforks. It was last on the list because of the non-serious name and logo, but damnit it's the most stable and has sensible defaults that don't get in my way.

  • Now that you mention it, this seems most likely.

  • I would actually like to know what he was leading to with that question. Is the implication that gangs have an overrepresentation of trans people? Or that gang violence doesn't count for some reason?

    I guess we'll never know.

  • The pope mobile is too understated for them. Expect MAGA tanks.

  • The opposition party's equivalents for actual ministers.

  • I get this from observing myself.

    Like if I don't think about it at all I can touch-type, but the moment I'm aware of it I need to look at the keyboard.
