She deserves worse.

Try to address any medical issues as best as possible now.

You wouldn’t even have to make a huge reform to make a big difference. If we changed using “unrealized gains” as collateral to count as realizing those gains, the ultra wealthy would pay a fuck ton more in taxes. Also, the interest on those loans should not be deductible. Boo hoo if you end up with a margin call. Don’t make risky bets.

Adam Curtis’s Hypernormalisation. It is a documentary and does a painful job of examining reality. I was vaguely unsettled before seeing it and after seeing it I have a specific vocabulary and lens through which I perceive current events. I feel helpless to this day. Free on YouTube:

I remembered you want non documentaries, so I will add Basketball Diaries. DiCaprio film about a talented young basketball player ruining his life through drug addiction.

My pacifist grandfather served in the US army medical Corp in both WW2 and Korea. He saw some of the worst aspects of both of those conflicts, particularly Korea. I don’t think anyone would think that he was helping the Nazis by treating the wounded.

VI and vim have been my editors of choice for thirty plus years at this point. I also use set -o vi in bash.

Then you realize that you have duplicated the failure in a post fix version.

No way could fat pedo find Ireland on an unlabeled map. Even less likely that he could find Bulgaria. I would speculate he might not even get the correct continent for Bulgaria.

Regurgitated from a statistical amalgamation of our old Stack Overflow posts…

Dead Internet is a thing for a reason. :(

It is ridiculous. I am interviewing for embedded systems development where we frequently write to specific bits in a register. I am sure these kids have had to learn something, but I can’t figure out a polite way to ask them to give me some examples of what.

I wish it was a joke. Maybe they were deliberately getting the answer wrong to waste our time, but the body language was not consistent with someone fucking with me.

My company probably doesn’t get the best candidates (defense contractor that pays somewhat less than market rate), but yeah.

Two nibbles is an acceptable answer.

Right?

We have been interviewing for entry level positions and the new grads know less than ever before. I don’t really care what they know, I am looking for evidence that they can think, but I usually ease them into thinking scenarios by asking easy foundational questions like how many bits in a byte. You would think I was asking for them to explain the Shrodinger wave equations… One candidate was waivering between 13 and 17…

I am proud of my Canadian neighbors. I want unequivocal economic destruction traceable to the fat orange pedo.

On top of all of the obvious stupidity with the statue, it is a terrible rendition. Not fat enough. No comb over. The face is not orange. The diaper is missing.

Destiny is a better game than Marathon with broader appeal. They shouldn’t invest so heavily in a niche extraction shooter. What’s next? a game that is entirely escort missions?
