Ugh that sucks to hear, I’m too old to get the shot for free. Used to be all women regardless of age and men up to 26. Now it’s up to 18 regardless of gender. Of course I only found out when I was 27 and there was no mention of a paid option at all back then.

Do you exclusively cook meals that go in the oven and that’s it? No sauces to simmer, etc?

I think if I’m ever staying at your house, I’m ordering McDonalds lmao

The US also has literal holidays centered around sharing a meal with friends or family. Thanksgiving turkey, 4th of July barbecue…

I’d wager the reason people eat in 10 minutes instead of an hour is the same as it is everywhere else: after an 8 hour workday, you feel like all you’ve got between work and sleep is a few hours and you don’t want to waste it on something boring like eating.

That’s when you sue god

Most of them don’t at least link to your shitty website. I’ll comment on new ones as I go.

The actual YouTube link

Same reason the next person after them will say the same for WD, the next one Toshiba, the next one Hitachi.

Bad experiences sour your perception of a brand.

Middle school, not high school and I had to cheat because it was mandatory to be able to do it and I was not. It seems your reading comprehension is on par with my art skills.

Python itself might not be, but all the AI shit runs on GPUs so it’s CUDA or OpenCL or whatever underneath

It took me a moment but you’re kidding, right?

I’m having a hard time deciding which Tommy is weirder tbh

I literally said I’m exceptionally bad. Like to the level that the average kindergartener is better than me.

Sain hiljuti aru pärides teada, et kui ma mõnel kuul laisk (või haige) olen ja klientidele ainult 1800 euro eest arveid välja rullin, jään kindlustuseta. Et kindlustus saada, tuleb rullida vähemalt 2250 euro jagu arveid.

See on jah see koht kus isegi ettevõtte pidamine on odavam viis ravikindlustust saada. Miinimumpalka makstes on palgafond alla 1200 euro, veidi üle 30% läheb kokku maksudena kaduma. Haigena peaks vist haiguslehte ka saama võtta. Miinusena siis kõrgem maksukoorem kui ettevõtluskontol ja see, et nimi muutub avaliku infona leitavaks.

That’s pretty much exactly what I meant, yeah - except maybe the redistributing. The CEO makes the board rich with all the fraud and deceit before they even get their golden parachute. Pretty sure they’re gonna keep that for themselves.

Do fraud, earn 10 billion for the company, get caught, company pays a hundred million fine, you get a hundred million golden parachute, company gets a brand new CEO, everyone’s happy except for all the plebs who got fucked over.

To be clear, I can’t create art to a middle school passing grade level. Like there’s a chance I could’ve failed a year of middle school if I hadn’t started bribing classmates to occasionally help with my drawings for me at some point in 7th or 8th grade. My ability to draw, even by grade 9, just never improved to the level most of my peers had reached by grade 2 or 3 lol

Not for a lack of trying either. 9 years of something like 32 weeks of school per year, 2 art classes of 45 minutes per week on average, adds up to 432 hours of practice that was mostly drawing or painting (if you can call it that, using either watercolors or guache usually), only occasionally stuff like ceramics. Let’s say 400 hours of drawing or painting. And I mean this is before you consider that I actually liked drawing up until some point and did it at home too - including before I ever started school. And also at preschool where I went for a year. Of course the only two things I ever drew were tractors and houses - because those had lots of straight lines. I imagine 4 year old me must’ve been very proud of them.

Starting grade 10 we had art history class instead. I memorized what needed to be memorized and got passing grades every time.

As you can probably tell, this is something I’m really salty about. Between art and music, my average grades in middle school were brought down just enough that I didn’t usually make the equivalent of honor roll that we had here. Yes, I also suck at singing and unfortunately we did get graded on our singing too. However, while my singing skill is probably in like the bottom 10% of skill level, my drawing is somewhere in the bottom 0.1%

It’s also why I hate the proverb “practice makes perfect” and much prefer the locally sourced alternative that translates to “practice makes you someone that practices a lot”. Clearly practice doesn’t make you very good if you were never dealt the cards. Practice what you’re already naturally good at and you’ll be great. Practice what you naturally suck at and maybe you’ll be mediocre. Which is sometimes necessary, if we’re talking about life skills for an example - better mediocre than nothing

But it’s been pipe since 1973

But in my neck of the woods plenty of people owned a PC before Windows networking AND ISPs were reliable lol

Like yes I had Internet at home, but sometimes it didn’t work very well, sometimes it was really slow, etc.

For years, it was almost normal in a small town to have an ethernet cable routed from your neighbour’s house to yours, share a connection. Guess what, it’ll be slow as shit when they’re using it too. Or if the router needs to be restarted for some reason and they’re not home? Welp.

Why did we have that setup? Estonia over 20 years ago was still pretty poor. This whole ADSL thing was pretty new too, it cost quite a bit. I found an article from that period and turns out in 2003 there were three main providers. Starman at 149 EEK per month, Eesti Telefon at 345 and Uninet at 800. I have no idea about Uninet, but Starman was only available in a couple of cities and even in those cities I think it was mostly just apartment buildings. Minimum monthly salary BEFORE tax was 2160 EEK. First 1000 EEK per month was income tax free, on the other 1160 EEK you’d be taxed 26% so 301 EEK. The remaining 1859 EEK, and this is with only income tax deducted, nothing else, is equivalent to 119.16 euros. 345 EEK for internet is 22 euros and change. Imagine spending 18% of your income on an Internet connection!

Still, a computer was becoming necessary for schoolwork. Researching subjects online, printing out homework, etc. If you didn’t have one at home, you’d need to use computer class at the end of the day, or go to the library. Having one at home got me into gaming and tinkering with software and the tinkering got me into programming at the age of ~13 and you can guess what I do for a living now.

That’s quite interesting and actually a very useful step in proving what the comment above mine was trying to prove.

I feel like Nolan’s Batman actually has moral dilemmas beyond the no killing rule.

1. In Batman Begins, you can clearly see he doesn’t even like living as Bruce Wayne. When he sees his childhood friend Rachel and says “this is not all that I am. Inside, I am more…” or whatever he said, you could tell he felt embarrassed about flexing his billionaire lifestyle, which he was only doing because Bruce Wayne needed to occasionally be visible in society, otherwise things would get suspicious.

2. He clearly realized that A) Law Enforcement and the DA’s office needed a lot of help in Gotham and B) He needed to help them arrest and prosecute people legally, rather than having himself, one rich dude, be judge, jury and executioner. This is why he cooperated with Jim Gordon

3. In cases of particularly dangerous people like Ra’s Al Ghul, he committed manslaughter, potentially murder, because he knew they’d endanger more people otherwise. At the same time, I think he realized Ra’s Al Ghul had a bit of a point, that the rich and powerful had fucked Gotham up so bad it would almost be best to destroy it altogether. Still, he can’t agree with it because even letting it happen would mean the blood of millions of people on his hands.

4. While he’s doing a lot as Batman, the Wayne foundation is trying to actually improve society - and while this is feeding into the old libertarian narrative that individuals doing charity is better than government spending to improve society, it becomes clear to him at some point that this is not really working either.

Your conclusion is probably correct, but I don’t think your proof works. I’m going to play devil’s advocate now: The thing to consider here is that these women were not just raised as boys, they were also born as boys. They may be on HRT now, but what if there are differences between how the male and female brains work that come from the Y chromosome? Or your hormonal balance in your formative years? I would hope not because that gives sexists way too much ammo, but we do not know for sure.

There’s other potential reasons for all the trans women in software engineering too. Children who don’t feel comfortable in their own identities are probably way less social - I don’t have enough trans friends to confirm this is true, but I feel like it might be. Not being particularly popular in school drives you to gaming as a hobby because you don’t need friends for that, and at least in the 90s and 00s that would usually mean tinkering with your PC (because Windows never fucking worked properly, did it now). This would also explain all the furries IMO.
