A very busy train yard

Lots of people talk about "losing their train of thought". This is my, and I'm pretty sure this is typical of most neurodivergent folks, "train of thought"

that writing is attrocious

beef wellington time?

This is what evil looks like. If you don't think so, take a long look in the mirror.

I also saw someone I used to work with blaming the Democrats solely for the US Gov shutdown, so maybe LinkedIn has its uses after all (as a way to filter out people you definitely want no further contact with)

So chasing this "FOUNDER FIRST" bullshit mindset you're deliberately excluding potential perfect hires from disadvantaged or lower socio-economic backgrounds, thereby further entrenching the rich white boy mindset of Bay Area startup culture.

Do better.

Sure, it would be absolutely wonderful to work somewhere and build up a new hot product from the ground up, but if you're in San Francisco, average rent is $3,113/mo. Unless you're already wealthy or have a bunch of cash on hand you cannot afford to live and work in those conditions

I saw a ridiculous comment on LinkedIn today (redundant phrasing I know) about people declining job offers for small startups as "refusing to become a founder and just chasing a paycheck". What elitist bullshit. People have to "chase" pay in this climate because the cost of everything is so high

What true empathy looks like

...why did you share this so I could see it? *grabs wallet*

A moment's thought for the hardest working people in the US - the cleaners at the White House who have to deal with Trump's daily tantrums

So. How're you going, Alan?

Free busses, but $100 fare on the Staten Island Ferry

Back when Aotearoa New Zealand was voting via referendum on whether or not to ditch First Past the Post for Mixed Member Proportional for our voting system, the cartoonist Murray Ball put out the below comic.

I see those telling New Yorkers not to vote for Zohran Mamdani and think on this comic.

ANZ are the worst bank (*apart from all the other banks, which are also the worst)

It's always unfortunate to find one's self in Belconnen

Gonna be honest I don't normally like baseball at all, but this World series has been riveting

Do depressed woodworkers use a barely coping saw?

Went for a little nap nap after work today...

6 hours later I've woken up...

or he's just worried that he was sloppy and got found out doing what they all do behind closed doors

Just 7 days left to back SHIFT RPG on Kickstarter! Help us unlock our next stretch goal: a superhero world written by Gail Simone! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shiftrpg/shift-rpg?ref=a2lsgg

They forgot "Still not fully recovered eyebrows"

Those things look awesome. It's a Suzuki Jimny that grew up, hit the gym, insisted on being called Jamnes, and went vegan

(along with running a TF/IDF phrase match score between two name fields from different files. I tired now)

Script finally fully works. Looking for matching IDs in the aforementioned 1.7 million row (sometimes badly formed) JSON data file against a CSV file's column, and then bring back a mixture of fields/IDs from those two files and another CSV cross referenced to the first.

if you ever need a guest reviewer for the Yangwang U8L if it comes over here, more than happy to volunteer >.>

you're right, your readers would prefer the new G-Class wagon to the Dacia. Mea culpa

I'm waiting for them to invent PaddleCatan for ultimate driver obsession

Pitch a new story idea: "Today we're testing the handling of the new Dacia Duster by taking this fully optioned test car here on a special course around, and through, Stonehenge. What could go wrong?"
