New fear for couches unlocked.

Cause it’s too old for the list writers to know about? Also, their adoption rate was pretty poor.

One point. I have never owned an encyclopedia unless Encarta counts. My parents owned one when I was a kid, and I used the library encyclopedia a ton. I’m in my early 50s. I’m surprised the encyclopedia is not the most common point.

Bees aren’t the only arthropods having this problem, but for most of the other non-pollinators people seem to think "good less bugs to bother me. " I guess we should just give up on the survival of the food chain.

The news for insects is not entirely bad, emerald ash borers are finding the ability to survive in areas that were formerly too cold for them. This allows them to kill more trees turning them into kindling for lightning strikes and other fire starting events.

Who could have known that fucking with our habitat might have negative consequences for us?

For us this design is closer to marketing’s portrayal. The design is a tiger that has lost his tail, is slightly inbred, and has a bit of mange. The implementation looks like this implementation after a dog has used it as a chew toy.

So glad I am not the only one. It doesn’t help that I work on various projects, some of which use really old compilers. Tried using make_shared the other day and the compiler was not having any of it. Triple checked my syntax and spelling three times before realizing that the compiler was too old to support it.

I tried to use dd with too much hubris once. I had to restore from backups (which ironically, I had made with dd). I’m usually overly cautious, but I was in a hurry.

The mistake is admitting that you’re refactoring. I just implemented the feature/ fixed the bug. Why did I change so much? The issue was a little underscoped.

The fun thing is to try to force your fellow devs to refactor piecemeal through comments on their pull requests.

Nevertheless, I stand by my view. We are already trying our hardest to make the atmosphere replicate the atmosphere of the K-T extinction.

I get more pessimistic every year and I started out extremely pessimistic. I think humanity going extinct in my lifetime is more likely than the US getting single payer in my lifetime.

I have no confidence that medicare will still exist. It could be gone by next month.

I don’t think any amount of achievable retirement savings is enough to give me confidence that I could cover escalating health care costs enough that I could retire. Even if I had $10M in the bank, I would worry that the cost of health care will rise fast enough to impoverish me.

Nice, but the orange asshole is not fat enough.

Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2, Champions of Norrath, Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, Burnout 3, Jak and Daxter, Rachet and Clank, SSX3, Twisted Metal Black, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. I am sure I forgetting some other amazing games.

Hands are too big too.

I can hear the music just by seeing the picture.

It’s Baxter!

Don’t answer the phone!

Much, much saltier than concrete.

We are implementing the feature in this two week sprint. (It is a four week task and is not amenable to being further decomposed - at least not with meaningful exit criteria.)
