this is so dark, Black Mirror couldn’t have imagined it
An average 22 year old does not have the experience to automate 10 workflows, let alone 100. They also don't know all the gotchas. This is dumb advice.

If Reacher is your first introduction to this man's acting capabilities, allow me to take the pleasure of introducing you to Blue Mountain State. All hail Thad.

Have you moved from a cold northern state to the South and then regretted no more snow and cold weather
I went from Oklahoma -> Florida -> Pittsburgh -> Charlotte. As far as weather goes, Charlotte and Oklahoma provided the most variety and for me the most enjoyment when the seasons changed. However, I really don't like the Winter blues, even though it's not as a bad as Pittsburgh. Also, I can't deny that I was way healthier all year round living in Florida.

Firefox Are Moving to a Two‑Week Release Cycle Starting September

I don't see why it's necessary for any software. I understand if companies want to release security patches and bugfixes faster. But those releases are usually accompanied by way too many unnecessary changes driven by marketing/product that a lot of people don't give a shit about.

The Latest Windows 11 Update Gets Rid of the Start Menu and Explorer
Reply in thread
The right click context menu for me has been unusable in certain circumstances for me for the past year or so. It's happened on multiple devices, including corporate issued dell and Lenovo machines. The menu options just stop responding to clicking. After getting fed up with this and all the other crap I didn't ask for, I finally just ripped the bandaid off, ditched dual booting, am now on full single boot Linux mint.
And, it's so fucking refreshing. I finally feel like the machines I built and own are mine again.

I just started my foray into Kotlin development. I was very pleased at the language and ease of getting a simple, yet great looking app up and running. I was ready to publish. Verified my ID, paid the fee, and... good fucking lord the rest of the shit I had to account for after that made me want to delete the whole thing and never come back.
I know I can host the apk myself, go to other app stores, etc... but Jesus Christ. I'm sure it kills off a lot of spam bots and bad actors. But, i'd rather just get interviewed by somebody at Google to tell them how undeniably dumb and simple my joke app is then go through this process.

Agreed.
I never used weed to feel happy. I never even thought it made me feel happy. Giddy, elated, calm - sure. But I keptt going back to it because I thought the time perception distortion effect and the visual/audio effects were fascinating.
I suppose there's a difference between use and abuse, and that drugs affect individuals differently. But damn, if all you get out of weed is "happy," I feel like you're missing out! (Not that happiness isn't important)

I really liked action racing games like NFS and Burnout right around the time I turned 16 and got my driver's license. I didn't do anything too crazy. But, since I had been grinding those games, my confidence on the streets of my suburban town in my dinky 2000 Nissan Altima significantly increased.

This was my main concern about switching. I have to use MFA apps for work. So, it's possible to have different profiles, and I can back up my codes and retrieve on my new profile using GrapheneOS?

Chrono Chross kind of was like that... The intro wasn't in a peaceful village or anything. But it put you in a later game area with a full party.

Depends on business model. Saas - quality is very important. Non-profit insurance/bureaucratic type - they'll burn millions to hire plenty of QA then treat them like shit, ignore them, and push trash software all day

Truth about Space Karen
So, while I'm confident Elon is absolutely terrible at anything software related, I did some digging to see how much he's actually done at anything other than software. It looks like he was highly regarded, at least with high level decisions, as the chief engineer of SpaceX from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/evidence_that_musk_is_the_chief_engineer_of_spacex/
Not trying to throw him a bone at all or anything. But is it possible that he does know a lot about rockets/propulsion?? I'm trying to get the facts about this as it's been a longstanding argument between my dad and I about what his involvement actually has been. My basic argument has always been, CEOs don't have the time of day to get involved with the nitty gritty, and his rebuttal is usually something along the lines of, "Well that's just how smart he is, I mean he sleeps at the factories!" :eye roll:
