Maybe it’s for the really really big three percenters?

I’m already holding a sandwich and a drink. Are you expecting me to put one down to hold my wang?
This tells me that Wells Fargo has middle management layers so useless, they can’t even understand if their employees are doing their jobs so they resort to monitoring.
They literally just want their employees to look busy because their corporate culture isn’t able to comprehend managers having close relationships with their direct reports and their work.
Companies should be looking at an employee’s output to determine if they’re worth keeping employed. If you can’t measure that, what the fuck are you doing? How do you justify having any employees when you don’t know what they contribute to the bottom line?
I have to put that thin phone into a big fat protective case anyways, because some dunce decided to build everything out of glass.
I miss the Nokias from the 90s.
I don’t pirate software anymore. If I do the math on how much enjoyment I get even from a mediocre AAA game title, it is dwarfed by what I’d spend on a night out, so the value is there for me. On top of that the risk of malware (or the effort in mitigating it) isn’t really worth it.
Tv and movies? Pirate it. The streaming services are garbage and the content has too much crap for me to want to pay a corporation for it. If it became too hard to pirate I just wouldn’t watch it anymore.
Books kind of fall in the middle. Happy to pay for ebooks if the author makes it practical, but I’m not keen on buying through Amazon.
It’s a little worrisome, actually. Professionally written software still needs a human to verify things are correct, consistent, and safe, but the tasks we used to foist off on more junior developers are being increasingly done by AI.
Part of that is fine - offloading minor documentation updates and “trivial” tasks to AI is easy to do and review while remaining productive. But it comes at the expense of the next generation of junior developers being deprived of tasks that are valuable for them to gain experience to work towards a more senior level.
If companies lean too hard into that, we’re going to have serious problems when this generation of developers starts retiring and the next generation is understaffed, underpopulated, and probably underpaid.

I left Apple when I got rid of my iPhone 3 and didn’t look back until last year. In the mean time, iOS has grown up nicely, the services are really well integrated, and it’s pretty low on bugs.
Contrast to Google where every OS update to Android makes the UI more and more similar to iOS, but a shittier version of it. Their home assistant has been losing features and the overall recognition has gotten demonstrably worse as time goes on. It annoys me to no end that Android doesn’t have any native ability to resize a photo before emailing it, so you either send a 7MB photo or go through too many ridiculous steps to resize it first. That’s not even counting the services that Google kills all the time, making any investment into their ecosystem unreliable in the long term.
I’m not using Apple now because I’m loyal and like them. It’s because Google has put so much effort into making their own phone a shitty knockoff. If I’m paying premium prices for a flagship phone, might as well go with the one that works better.
Any recommendations on shopping for an Android set top box? Every time I start down the rabbit hole I feel like I’m just getting AI-written SEO scam fake review sites.
It’s worth pointing out that this only works if your plan is sufficiently evil.
Glow in the dark filament is shit for glowing more than a minute. It’s like the cheapest toys you had as a kid.
But they illuminate constantly if you shine a UV (or IR?) LED on them, and you generally don’t see the LED light nearly as much.
So my vote is a bigger project with an LED in the base that keeps whatever you print lit up and looking spooky green for hours.
I’ve written long comments and regretted it. I’ve never once regretted deleting a long winded pile of shit before hitting Submit.
It must be exhausting to be an unpleasant asshole 100% of the time. This guy’s brain rotted.
“But why isn’t there a restriction on criminal convictions for being president?”
A: before now, nobody thought we needed to explicitly write them.
We live in insane times.

Never thought I’d be able to use that bit of pedantry.
Rude. That looks like a perfectly good post to me. Maybe a lil dirty. Shitty, even.
Ok, fine, it’s a shitpost.
Cauliflower? Wrapped in plastic.
Cucumber? Individually wrapped in plastic, or in a bag.
All protein? Plastic film and maybe some styrofoam for good measure.
Asian pears? INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED IN STRYOFOAM MESH
Small tomatoes or berries? Plastic container.
If someone buys their fresh foods from a grocery store, some things are impossible to find without already being wrapped in a ton of plastic. And they came in on a truck where the pallet was wrapped with another metric ton of plastic wrap.
It’s everywhere. Even when you’re not buying something wrapped in plastic, it was probably already wrapped in plastic and the store already threw it out for you.
The love the mythos of Q and I love John de Lancie’s portrayal of it.
And yet I hated every Q episode I ever watched and I’ll never watch them again.
Maybe it just works better as a thought experiment than sci-fi drama. 🤷
And it’s in a takeout container, which means you paid too much for it and it was cold and soggy when you finally got it.
