Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.

I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.

Can we do mandatory civil service instead

Like that would actually help people, building infrastructure, national parks, gaining skills and trades, maybe helping reduce obesity

I hear you, but I disagree. My people are great at slacking me or each other when they need stuff. We have a great collaborative atmosphere. They set up meetings with each other and with me as needed, and I’ve heard over and over that they really like that. I have weekly 1:1 meetings with each of them, and usually we hang up after 15 minutes because they know what they’re doing and can get back to it.

Imagine actually going to daily standup, wow

I made a daily meeting invite, and told my team to never show up to it. Lets them show up to work an hour later since I put it in the calendar for 930-10.

They’ve been raised on systems where you don’t need it, and they fundamentally don’t understand how one talks to a computer. It’s actually quite a bit to learn, and if you didn’t grow up doing it, it seems like a big cliff.

Good. Kids don’t need cell phones, and they really are a huge distraction.

Which will also mean a renaissance for classic vehicles for EV conversions. Currently the EV market is too small to really support them, but as EVs start hitting junkyards, it will become a big deal.

Sure does!

You shouldn’t be surprised.

People who work declining agriculture and heavy industry jobs want easy solutions. Republicans promise them easy solutions (tarrifs, bring the jobs back, stop immigration). Democrats bring up difficult things (retraining, actually nothing else).

So of course they want the easy solution. Who wouldn’t (doesn’t matter if it will work or not, the hard one sounds too hard for them).

Dems need to find easy solutions to get those people on board, otherwise they are screwed. Biden has started doing this by embracing tariffs on China (which are not working, but are VERY popular among the people they are slightly hurting).

Thanks for the explanation.

I don’t have kids but I’d kind of like to have adult kids when I’m old. So maybe I can adopt a college age person when I’m like 50 or something

This is some Fox News shit, she had a bad dog that bit people and shot it, big deal. That’s how life is in the country. This seems like sensationalistic garbage to get clicks. M

Talk about the actual issues. Talk about how these fascists are trying to take over the fucking country. Talk about how they are trying to enslave women’s bodies. Or roll back rights for sexual minorities. Etc etc etc.

He is as anti Israel as he can be. Usually anything less than full throated support would lose the election for a candidate of either party. And he’s still managed to condemn them a little bit, and is building a pier for aid delivery to Palestinians so fucking hmas can’t steal their aid. Like there really isn’t much more you can ask of a us politician without basically asking them to forfeit the election.

It took about a decade to undo the conditioning I gained in college and grad school to wake up every day at noon. Now, ten years later in my early 40s, I’m able to wake up at 10 am.

It probably is though.

The censorship gets to me, too.

Try asking bing image creator to draw Jesus. Not a problem. Buddha, Ganesha, David and Goliath, Zeus, no problem. It will give you great depictions.

Now try asking it to draw the prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him. No joy.

Censorship.

Supporting the genocide probably helps him in the polls.

Same and I wouldn’t either.

I think this is just some more urban rural divide stuff. It’s a lot easier to be a homeowner in rural places, since cities have much more expensive real estate and renting is more common. So rural people are more likely to be republicans and urban people are more likely not to be.

I went to school in the early 90s and we didn’t really have IDEs. Just text editors with regular expression find and replace and syntax hi-lighting, none of this “show a semitransparent box with your functions arguments” stuff or linters or whatever.

I still don’t know how to use a modern IDE, I use sublime text. And I debug my code using print statements.
