The best Indian food I’ve had was in the Czech Republic. There’s probably some localization with how they make them there, but I loved it.

They should’ve let him wear them, so they could maybe add some color to another dark, muted palette by Nolan.

I see a lot of action cams on the used marketplace selling for cheap. What’s a good one to buy? Or are they all toast?

My wife learned to read Korean and she said something similar. Korean is easy to read and write but harder to pronounce, while Japanese is the opposite.

I saw a video I believe when he was in Taiwan, where there was a huge line at a popular street food stall. He walked up to the vendor and asked to cut the line and in exhange he’ll pay for everyone in line.

What a headline.

Couldn’t read the article because it’s subscription-walled, but based on the comments, it looks like they have an “official” internal meme generator that management and HR tolerate because it allows employees to blow off steam and sorta socialize through humor. IMO it’s a terrible thing because:

1. Everything’s funny until someone has too spicy of a take, and you bet your ass HR or your manager will be on you.

2. Some employees are using it to indirectly complain about issues, processes, and tools; which doesn’t help to bring any change because using memes doesn’t actually do anything. Some former employees in the comments mentioned they check the memes to report defects and issues.

It is a tool for management to deflect problems and avoid acting on issues employees raise.

Suddenly, tokenmaxxing will no longer be a metric for performance once the bills come in.

You can maybe look into the base models of cars around 2019-2022. You won’t escape everything completely, but it’s better than getting an old car. I once had a 2020 Kia base model that only had the backup camera among the stuff you listed.

Can it also be the case that a lot of the buyers are first time Apple users that have never owned a macbook because of the price? So it’s an entirely new segment of users. Most people buying the flagship models are likely repeat customers.

The worst are the ones that have mailto links behind them so it opens your email app and creates a draft.

Half of my daily wardrobe is band merch and conference swag. The former I don’t mind showing off because I like those bands, and the latter I don’t mind being a free billboard for because only people in my career field would recognize them anyway. I also only pick the vendor shirts that actually have good/quirky designs and not just their name and logo.

What do you get instead with actual Denver?

insiders at Tesla saying, along the lines, “You couldn’t pay me to let one of these things drive me somewhere.”

That’s rich coming from cars that don’t use LIDAR and rely solely on cameras.

Same. I push the door and jiggle the door knob of every exterior door of the house 3 times before going to bed. I also hit the lock button of my car fob 3 times. It’s actually annoying that I can’t pull on the door knob anymore because it automatically unlocks if the fob is nearby. My old late 2000s car didn’t have that so I checked all doors before walking away.

It’s insane to me how some people are willing to just keep having a monthly payment in perpetuity, and it doesn’t help that scummy salespeople are able to dupe them into trading in every couple of years by making the numbers show their monthly payment not changing. I know there’s some financial illiteracy in a lot of those cases, but yeah.

Needs more RGB.

I saw an article that said NY-based fans were warning visiting Europeans not to attempt to walk to the stadium because of how pedestrian hostile it is.

Speaking of needing new hardware, do you think it’s still worth it when it ends up becoming a Ship of Theseus thing where you replace a different part every couple of years? Would that still end up being cheaper vs buying a new laptop with all the newest specs in 8-10 years?
