But they don't. They just formm small communities and slowly work their way back up to power.

Might take 50+ years, but it'll happen again and again until crushed out.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

I'm glad my employer said, "you've been working hard. I comped you a day so you can rest and recover.", the last time I wasnt feeling well (allergies got the best of me and I was a mess). Even though I've accrued nearly 2-weeks of sick time at this point.

I'm fortunate that I don't work for a shitty company anymore.

Sealion infestations are problematic. Be sure to call your local exterminator promptly whenever you encounter one.

There's a ton of work in green energy and water management.

When Harris wins, there will be even more federal funding being dumped into these sectors. However a ton of that work is either going to be labor intensive or require a specific education (or both).

Also, the software engineering field isn't going to be replaced by AI any time soon (if ever). What will happen is that AI will become a tool of skilled engineers to increase their output efficiency, consistency, and quality.

This seems like a brilliant feature to roll out as they're getting investigated by the DOJ for being a monopoly.

Don't chaff your stick.

As my grandmother used to tell me, "Your hands are dry, go lotion them up sonny."

I just wish GitHub wasn't part of MS anymore.

I also don't want Gitlab owned by another megacorp.

Something funded by the government but ran by a public org would be ideal.

It's not just the data transfer. It's also number of connections and the combined load. Scaling theese kind of things can be a nightmare for games doing an auth workflow on launch day and that's largely just text connections over REST.

Musk was an idiot and fired everybody that could have helped prevent/minimize the impact.

I can't believe people buy cheap trash that would be sold on Temu.

But here we are, people buy cheap ass trash off Temu. If China started picking through the trash we shipped them and sold it back to us on a site like Temu, something tells me people would still buy it.

I installed the app, did initial setup, then forced it to never update, shut off internet access, and disabled notifications. Still seeing the discount nearly 3 years later.

In the last 6 months:

• One Drive reinstalled and turned back on on my personal & work computer multiple times.
• AI Co-pilot added to my machine and enabled "so you can start using it now!" with an obtrusive pinned shortcut on my start bar, to both of the same machines but at different time intervals. Uninstalling is virtually impossible and requires registry mods to 'remove" it. Not even a powers he'll command can remove it.

I don't want, or need, this add-on garbage.
