No tech debt! No need to look behind THOSE curtains ...

Oh sure, that's true. But each year at a 3% inflation rate you still gain 3k in original per 100k. So a 400k home you gained 12k in principal, the loan balance did not increase. Over time the loan balance is worth less in real terms. For most people even in a 30 year loan this is most significant.

I disagree that it's exactly like rent. You still have all the benefits of a fixed monthly payment (assuming no ARM fuckery) so you don't pay annual inflated rent cost of the land and home value itself. Even if you don't pay down much loan principal, the principal increases over time.

No kidding. Ran into an esoteric aws issue caused by the layers of aws bloat combined with a tech debt Jenkins script. No issues. I'll write a powershell script for you. An hour of debugging saved. Can't say it's always right but when it's right, it's literal magic.

Fire drill..fire drill..debugging of another fire drill..kt to team that's not even on my reporting chart..oh hey look it's 5

It's a box...a big gray box...high tech!

Ah yes the famously blue state of Virginia

Yeah that's because anything before today is history and anything in the past is the future. (Optimist view)

That's a cool freebie. Maybe an hour of opus use? Lol

Also great as long as the power doesn't go out....

...sorry, Hal, I can't do that. Your developer level has been detected at only 1.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

I feel this. So hard to motivate myself to both find and vet a recipe then to buy the inevitable random new ingredients from the store. And even with much hard work, there is significant risk that the result wasn't worth the effort.

This is just first generation technology. As we have seen from every other innovation, such as in fact early AI, this will evolve and become cheaper and more automated over time. The business model doesn't work even if you pay low wages with a human operator. It would cost far too much to operate.

Look, the math is very simple. 2 cloves? 4 cloves. 4 cloves? The whole head. There is no such thing as too much garlic. Only too little.

That and file spam such as dynamodb_entry_really_fixed_FINAL_BUGFIX.md
Like Claude....can you at least delete your old failed work markdown files?

If it services a professional class that doesn't use public transit, then I suppose it then did replace cars for those professionals? I guess it's a logical answer though because for true public transit you'd need a lot more routes.

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

We won’t unlock Michigan's future without growing manufacturing *and* creating new jobs in medical research, clean energy, ag, and other industries.

Doing the same thing we did in the past without growing lacks a real vision for Michigan’s economy.

Yeah summer is a great season up here, and sweet? That's exactly what they want when grocery shopping for fruit. A truly classic compliment which showcases the harvest fruit season as a metaphor for perfection.

You've found the smoking gun!

More backroom deals, I guess it should have been obvious there was some quid pro quo between our administration and the dictator of El Salvador

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

MAGA...Guess what the first A stands for. And if you guessed america you are wrong.

Without lies and misdirection, the administration could not exist

Chatroulette perchance?

On the other hand, bots will randomly like two posts from 2 months ago and then immediately add you. Not any less suspicious....

I saw a home aide (private, for a person) ask for advice on methods of giving medicine (for example can you crush a pill) via chatgpt voice mode a few months ago. There are some serious concerns relying on that...but surely a sign of the times.
