Software engineer salaries are going to be crazy high after the LLM companies spend years enabling everyone to create mountains of technical debt then go bankrupt.

The bridges area is within 2km from where they lived.

I helped move my grandmother (for the first time in her 94.5 years). Best thing I did this year.

Came across a whole bunch of interesting things. Amongst them some old records and a picture of my grandpa and his brother

Disappointed no one was living under there tbh

Amazing.

I wish she would apply her talents - which she does have, as shite as her opinions are - on something trivial like answering questions - with the same condescension - like whether pineapple belongs on pizza, or if it is chocolatine or pain au chocolat, etc.

259 years ago, on the 2nd of October 1766, ‘Cheese Riots’ broke out at the Nottingham Goose Fair after Lincolnshire merchants had bought large quantities of cheese with the intent to sell it back home. The residents of Nottinghamshire did not want food to leave their county. #otd #history 🗃️

If possible I’d carry the bike to keep it clean 😅

Cold pizza is not breakfast, it has elevated beyond that and is now classified as a superfood.

This October I'll be doing #October.

Each day of the month I'll be living my life as normal and taking on no extra work. 🙌🏻

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.
