We’re still working on finding out what the fox says. We’ll get to chickens after

What does the fox say?

Can confirm - you work like a dumber, more tired version of you needs to maintain it, so comment accordingly. Also, you do the work right but also fast; and you see how right you can do it in a reasonable timeframe of course.

But we fired a lot of our mentors after Y2K to save money that quarter. And the juniors there had no learning as to the whys of the whats when it comes to best practice. Those juniors became seniors and their juniors are 2nd-gen flying blind. We’re doing dumb things because we know why we shouldn’t, but we don’t understand that we shouldn’t. (Hint: if someone says “Yeah But,” they may not get it)

We need to rediscover the whys we lost; and it’s gonna be hard to really understand it, but we’ll figure it out. A few more ClownStrikes and we wont have a choice!

Canada is us$12.50. That’s getting close to double, and we share a long border.

You wanna make almost twice more money AND pay 1% less tax for the free healthcare, then go north.

Thanks for putting the caveats in there.

I will say that at my current job, remote IT work is in the contract. Because we’re union. And getting it out of the contract and risking shutdown because so many critical systems are run by people far away? Not a good idea. I hope it’s here to stay.

That’s truly inhumane. Even when I was a server - not America - I was paid the same wage as a line cook of similar experience.

Agreed, here.

When I was part of the large crew maintaining AT&T Unix, like, the holy Grail, we used windows desktops.

Why? We didn’t have to futz with modelines or any such nonsense and for our needs - Mozilla, winamp, vanDyke(ssh) - it was excellent. You don’t want to drive the proverbial bus all day and fix the bus all night !

Here of course, step2 is whinging by the cons and even decriminalization is killed.

And who pays for cops to stop and frisk for a half a gram? Why, everyone pays. That’s some smart spending from a life-long outsider.

Let the unimpeachable Republican cast the first stone.

Anyone? Bueller…bueller…

1. Not conservative aristofascist
2. Repels Joe Rogan

That’s 2!

when one of your favorite tracks from an album gets used in a commercial.

There’s a cover of Aerosmith’s Dream On that’s sung by a scandinavian performer in that rich, deep, lush way you expect, and it sounds beautiful.

It’s the typical “take a rock song and slow it down for a solo” thing they do with every song on those amateur-with-celebrity-judges talent shows, but it sounds actually natural and real instead of this generation’s Aguilaran Vocal Gymnastics. But she only did it for the commercial.

Nice dungarees and hoodie.

Communism will emerge out of Socialism.

lol

Are you confusing Alexa and Trump?

But jumping at the shadows is sometimes all the exercise we get!

Does the article say how the Alexa unit has absolutely no access control? Kids ordering dollhouses? Check. The news on TV triggering a response? Daily.

They can’t expect us to link our visa cards to something that doesn’t even know “this is little Billy” – actually it can discern people – “who should never be able to buy stuff” – which it can’t do.

The units are bad: no authorization and no auditing. Neighbor tried to order you 200 rakes as he rolled past your garage? You’ll get your f’n rake back, Dennis, just fuck off and don’t bug me every month.

The local pet store has a placement programme with the SPCA. The customer pays the adoption and like 10% goes to the store for the space and paperwork. Animals rotate back soon to prevent stress. I can’t see a better way to do a better partnership.

It’s not just Disney digging the graveyard to sell more rotting remains and wondering why they don’t go for top dollar; it’s the lot of them. FREAKY FRIDAY is coming out again.

What’s next? Non-racist Chitty Chitty bang-bang? Twin child actors again with yet another parent trap?

I feel there’s some dots and squiggles missing from that title.

I bet the negative reaction is a little more nuanced than “girls bad. Non-white people weird”, and I worry you’re generalizing.
