yeah, and that is baked into the SoC, so it’s not like you could even just make a phone with a swappable antenna/modem module

I am currently reading The Apocalypse Codex, and immediately thought of that :) Great series so far

If wages/salary are your primary/only source of income, you are not part of the wealthy class, even if it is $500k. Not even close.

Of course riding mowers are not common outside of the US.

North America really, they’re everywhere in Canada as well

Do what I do and stash an emergency bottle in the ol’ prison wallet

Come join us on the QA side! I’m an automation developer, so it’s my job to make things automated :)

I wonder if they pitch-corrected it so it plays correctly in the Martian atmosphere…

yeah, 98 was trash. 98SE was good

If your company uses some sort of code checking tool on PRs, there may be a requirement that all functions have a docstring, even if it’s obvious what it’s doing. Leads to silly comments like this quite often

So ‘the montage from the beginning of Idiocracy’ timeline? I mean, pretty sure we knew we were still 50+ years away from President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

It can be argued that he was actually a great president in his time. He recognized a problem and made sure to find and enable the most qualified person to fix it, and actually implemented their solutions even if it pissed off the corpos

yeah, but it takes a fraction of the time to destroy than to build. They don’t need long-term, they can wreak havoc in one term

Which is hilarious since the main source of income for musicians ever since streaming took off is live shows and merch… albums are a vehicle to drive attendance at concerts, for which Swift is pretty good at packing stadiums full of people. Even if she loses 30% of her listeners, she’ll still sell out concerts and total revenue would likely be about the same because those seats will be taken up by other fans who would have otherwise missed out on the sold-out show.

After a few weeks, the humidity is driven out of the air, and humidity is what allows heat to transfer to/from your body more efficiently. Hit feels hotter when it’s humid, and the same with cold, however hot air can hold more moisture, so it tends to build humidity over time. After a couple weeks with cold weather, the humidity drops and the cold starts to feel less cold.

They have a comprehensive two-pronged approach, they start with thoughts and immediately follow up with prayers, but for the sake of efficiency, they don’t actually think or pray.

Sounds like it’s time for somebody to make /c/TrumpVsTrump ?

/c/TrumpTrumpsTrump :p

As for the “you can’t clean it” it’s BS in and of itself. I use a chainmail scrubber to remove the big stuff, then soap and one of those green scrubbers to get it good and clean. The trick is, no matter how you clean it, you need to dry it COMPLETELY (I use paper towel) then oil it immediately. Doesn’t take much oil either, maybe a drop about the size of a nickel for a 12" skillet. My wife has alpha-gal syndrome, so all cookware needs to be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water, no exceptions.

Once you get a good seasoning set in, it’s almost indestructible, unless you seriously mistreat it… and even then it’s fixed pretty easily with an SOS pad, oil, and an hour or two in a hot oven.

My cast iron is more non-stick than any so-called ‘non-stick’ pan I’ve had, and I have one of those The Rock pans. I think the only caveat is you have to get a decent one. Anything made in China is no good (nothing necessarily about the casting or finish of the pans themselves, they just have very low quality iron); I personally buy Lodge, but there are a few other good brands to look in to.

Special fuck you to the TSA agents at the Vegas airport, they’ve confiscated my lighter twice even though it’s allowed. Never had a problem at any other airport with them.

No arguments there, if you’re gonna depend on a piece of code, you better own it or have a rock solid plan b.
