He's different than the Ben Solo guy, right?

Over the past year, every single time one of the apps or services I use suddenly became less reliable and more buggy, I never have to look far for the "Claude is amazing and now writes most of my code" post for the devs involved.

I know that moustaches are coming back among the younger generation and that's perfectly fine but I have to admit that my first thought is always "that dude looks like a minor league baseball pitcher".

I am laughing, but I am also furious.

I might have to take a trip out that way. I live in North Buffalo, so Olisi's (on Sheridan) and occasionally Gino's (University Heights) are my go-tos.

How does it compare to Olisi's? I love thin crust, but it's tough to find here.

I was once awakened in the early morning hours after coming home from the bar by a sev0 call for a place I hadn't worked in months. Update those on-call lists, people.

First week in the BBC graphics department and already thriving

Adding it to the banned words list on Yammer.

Allen's lasting legacy in the NFL is going to be justifying way overdrafting dudes from smallish programs who have terrible completion percentages because "he could be the next Josh Allen!"

Lots of cool stuff in this release, but the biggest headline is support for local AI models for customers who prefer to keep everything in-house.

I was just thinking "why aren't smartphones with e-ink displays a thing?" and as it turns out, they are. Thanks, Internet!

Not even just a drinking establishment, ANY establishment. My inlaws can't pick up a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk without getting in a car, it's insane.

Zoning laws that killed neighborhood taverns bear a lot of responsibility for drunk driving as a problem.

I live in an old city neighborhood bracketed by a couple of bars, if I want to drink I can just walk home. Most people in the burbs don't have that option.

I'm shocked to hear this from an administration that spent its first term pardoning war criminals.

The "they're all twelve" theory remains undefeated.

ICYMI: Tickets are on sale NOW for Buffalo's favorite hacking conference. Get them while you can, we sold out entirely in 2024 and 2025.

The only time I watch broadcast television is for football games, and from the advertising it seems that CBS only makes shows about cops and firefighters. Sheriff Firefighter: Border Patrol starring James Woods or some nonsense.

And its support for signing and cryptography? Couldn't be tighter.

Do you ever think about how wild it is that almost the entire open source ecosystem depends on git, a protocol that Linus banged together in a weekend because he hated subversion so much?

The last time I watched CNN it was because someone left it on in the corporate gym and I had to watch Don Lemon suggest that maybe a missing airplane had flown into a black hole without anyone noticing.

Cable news is brain poison. All of it.

Whoever decided that the child tax credit should go down once the child turns 17 has never seen how much it costs to feed a 17 year old.

"The blind guy who had been beaten by the police and was using a curtain rod as a cane seemed to be doing just fine when we left him on the wrong side of a city he'd just moved to and where he didn't speak the common language. No distress at all!"

Those massive seminar classes for stuff like freshman English are absolute cash cows for any university. There's no lab, no expensive equipment, and the instructor is some adjunct fresh out of grad school desperate to work for starvation wages and no benefits.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

"I'm still punk" I whisper as Rancid plays in the minivan.

Don't forget about Sheriff Firefighter: Border Patrol on CBS.

Same reason my fingers still type "ifconfig", because change is hard.

This city takes in more refugees than almost any other, many of them Burmese. They could have easily found a translator if they gave half a shit.

They beat a blind man for having a cane, then abandoned him on the wrong side of a city where he had just arrived and didn't speak the language. Absolutely horrific.
