You have the option of not buying one if you cant afford it.

Not really, depending on where you are.

When I was barely above broke out of college, I had to buy a shit box just to be able to go to work, because the only job I could find in my field was >20 mi from where I lived and had no public transit options that wouldn’t add an hour of walking on top of how long the bus ride took. And that’s assuming clear weather, which we get for maaaaaybe half the year. I don’t know about you, but I’m not about walking for an hour in the blistering cold with spotty sidewalks in busy areas

So, while I could take the option of not buying a car, it would turn a <30 min commute into 2-3 hours one way on a good day. Buying a car was the only way not to lose >25 hours a week on work transportation alone.

Have you heard of FetLife? Sounds like it might be what you’re looking for.

I do a ton of Powershell scripting, and AI is either a half competent programmer, or someone let grandpa respond with the syntax from nineteen dickety two

I can’t ever report the spam, it always says that I’ve already reported them

Also, the domesticated bees are generally honeybees. And unfortunately, honeybee and wild bees don’t fulfill the same rile, so even if we replaced wild bees with honeybees 1:1, we still wouldn’t be able to polinate everything.

0 points, I lose

Why wait until you quit? I’ll do that when we get a new guy?.

FNG gets passed the shit tasks I don’t have time for 🤣

So now we know how to instantly delist any project on GitHub.

Boring/repetitive work. For example, I regularly use an AI coding assistant to block our basic loop templates with variables filled in, or have it quickly finish the multiple case statements or assigning values to an object with a bunch of properties.

In little things like that, it’s great. But once you get past a medium sized function, it goes off the rails. I’ve had it make up parameters in stock library functions based on what I asked it for.

Lol, imagine thinking the USA and Russia would be on opposite sides when we have multiple Russian assets in the White House. And in Congress. And probably in the supreme court.

Those things aren’t mutually exclusive, and just because you don’t hear the media reporting on it doesn’t mean we’re not.

To no one’s surprise, the billionaire owned media isn’t reporting on the reports on the protests against the billionaire run kakistocracy.

where a crowd gathered for a completely unrelated purpose gets to see the last thing an afghan child at a wedding sees

I know this probably makes it worse, but the Afghan child most likely wouldn’t even have a chance to see the plane (or more likely, predator drone) that fired the missile that killed them.

It’s one of the many reasons these children are fucking terrified of clear skies and sunny days.

That’s what I do at work, even though I’m salary.

Management decided to hire a new guy and then have a round of layoffs within 6 months, effectively canning someone to replace him. Since then, we’ve had multiple times where we have hundreds of tickets sitting unassigned because there’s more work than people. So shit sits and falls through the cracks until someone has time or something is on fire.

It fucking sucks, but eventually the bean counters will see that we actually needed that extra body…

It all depends on how time tracking is implemented.

Tell me I have to account for my time in 15-30 min increments? Fine, I can put it into a spreadsheet and track it.

Tell me I have to track real time spent? Get entirely fucked, and I hope you’re ok with spending time fixing my time punches because I absolutely am going to forget to open or close a time entry because I’m working on 3-4 tasks at any given time.

I’ve done both, and while I won’t intentionally sabotage the latter, my rampant ADHD and terrible memory have got my back on that one.

Maybe there’s more implementation nuance here but it seems like an opinionated rule that has zero effect on performance unless that code is being called thousands of times every second

It’s good practice to get in the habit of coding to only do the things you want/need to do rather than hoping the compiler does it for you.

This particular constructor call may be light, but there may be constructors that have a lot of overhead. Or you might be running alongside 1000 other processes who said the same thing and you start to see performance degradation.

I was lucky enough to go there when they still allowed people to go up the temple at Chichen Itza, and it was pretty cool, but I couldn’t image just climbing shit they tell you not to. Especially when the reasoning is protecting heritage.

Honestly, he’s lucky he didn’t trip on the way down. Those stairs are steep.

Yeah, insurrection is a form of protest, I guess.

Bruh, that was being respectful. If you think this is profane or disrespectful, you’re not going to have a good time here. Or, frankly anywhere in the net or real life.

Learn to accept criticism and not treat it as a personal attack, your experience will be much better for it.

Well, when your goal is to destroy government programs and offices so they they get replaced by rent seeking corporations so they can suck every penny from you, it really is.

The argument is probably that death spares him more suffering while being incarcerated.
