Got to be honest with you, bro. This sounds like pro-russia FUD to me. I mean honestly, wasn't all of the USSR a big agglomeration? The bottom line now is that Ukraine is a soverei…

you can use Javascript with Max. It's a bit unwielding in its handling of multi-JS-file projects, but it can be done. Not everything in Max is exposed to your code, but you really …

A greasy KFC bucket of deplorables

we didn't have Fox News and its ilk drumming up panic over caravans back then.

and if they need West Coast, it's us-west-2. I consider us-west-1 to be a failed region. They don't get some of the new instance types, you can't get three AZs for your VPCs, and t…

Or Bezos selling his soul to the Orange Devil and kicking you off when the Conman-in-chief puts the squeeze on some other aspect of Bezos' business empire

Sorry, there's no way a plumber in the 70s made 40K.

I'm sure it's already happening.

Amazing that anybody can look at that guy and think he's "strong". It's so obvious that he's a chicken shit at heart. I mean I guess he talks big, although his language and vocabul…

I like how you talk about them like there is any "game" involved. Neither individual knows what the hell he's doing. Just greedy self-serving bulls in a china shop.

Today I learned that in British English, "homely" is a positive trait when referring to a place.

I don't think that was his point. He wasn't asking specifically what Balatro was. He just marvels at the fact that there are so many niche interests out there that their very exist…

I felt the same way back in 2017. I don't have the same strong opinions of many on this board about having problems now, but it does kind of seem like I have more problems now than…

I also have that problem with lyrics in music while I'm working. That pushed me toward more electronic music during the workday. Got into various forms of house that way.

This immediately made me think of this Reply All episode: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/mehrar/147-the-woman...

$ ruby -e 'x = "25\n; delete from people" ; if x =~ /^\d+$/ ; puts "yes" ; else ; puts "no" ; end' yes

Please don't do that -- nobody wants to see you pour your backwash into the soda machine drip tray. That might be ok for overflow while pouring it, but not after you're done. Yuck!…

Tim Ferris' idea about filter of consequences is interesting. Except for the fact that that information has likely passed through filters of propaganda and almost certainly passed …
