Wow. One person wrote, “Jeffrey, I was prepared to vote against Trump for all the right reasons but I’m so disgusted by the outrage over ‘grab them by the pussy’ that I may give him my sympathy vote.” I don’t even know how to make sense of that! What?

Was the PS controller as a speaker a Windows thing? Damn that drove me crazy. At least for me it was so intermittent that when it did pop up it was absolutely maddening. So happy I’ve moved on from Windows.

Is this at the escalators after you get off the tram to leave the terminal? In my experience the door to these stairs is overlooked. Most everyone scrambles to queue up for the escalators and you can just walk up and out easily.

This is so ridiculous. Why did you go back? It’s performative at this point. They’ll pass the legislation. The difficult thing to do was staying away for ~100 days and you couldn’t do it. This is just nothing.

I hope to hear more of an uproar against these dipshits, patting themselves on the back for having raised attention to the issue instead of holding out. You gave up. The redistricting will pass once it goes up for the vote. You jackasses need to do more than raise attention under the current climate.

“Cry more, lib.” These people are absolute children.

Anything but trying to solve the underlying problems. Bonus: someone makes bank.

That sounds exhausting. Draining. Incredibly difficult. What you’re doing is impressive and admirable. To me it sounds like you’re checking off the “good mom” box. You didn’t ask a question so I won’t offer advice. But I wish you all the best. I hope you at least feel heard.

100% agree OP. The utility bills here are insane. And more highways so we can continue to have insane traffic but in new, different places instead of, ya know, the lightrail that was approved by voters and shut down by the legislature. It’s all a clusterfuck.

The fact these cowards are allowed to wear masks is riot-worthy.

Imagine doing your job and you need to put on a mask specifically to hide your face—and not questioning whether you’re one of the bad guys.

I got some Spring of last year! I have ‘em outside. Not terribly impressive but a fun novelty.

Strong “pls respond” vibes

Assuming they didn’t fix it, add Intelligence drain on self 100% for 1 second and get your full mana back afterwards. But you can’t alter your intelligence above 100 or it’ll stop working.

Discovered it way back in Morrowind days. OP as hell but plenty of fun. Doesn’t work in Skyrim, can’t remember why, they probably got rid of intelligence drain on self.

Here’re my two cents. I’m in the US with nearly two decades in engineering for experience. And I started programming young, like you; it’s very much a passion for me.

There are great places out there. Look for the roles that are going to expand your skill sets. More money is nice, but long term you’ll benefit more from pushing your boundaries. Ask lots of questions about the team when you’re interviewing—that can give you plenty of insight. And get comfortable with AI programming. That’s a seismic paradigm shift happening right now and embracing it can help you leapfrog others. Right now I like Windsurf AI.

And I get how this sequence of events you laid out is dispiriting—it would be for most imo. Personally, I think it’s worth the pursuit if it’s something you’ve enjoyed since such a young age.

Happy to answer more if it helps.

Mammut is top notch. I love their gear. I never see them in the US.

“Mackie estimates he ‘put in 10,750 hours of training’ before landing that life-changing job. He was proactive, too: He wrote letters to executives at Disney’s Marvel Studios over a decade ago in the hopes of landing a role in one of the studio’s popular superhero films…”

That sure sounds like hard work to me. What do you think luck is, my guy? It’s putting yourself out there, building connections, and making things happen. That’s how it works. If you sit on your couch all day a studio exec isn’t going to ring you up for a staring part in a marvel movie.

In fact, I might go so far to say his flavor of “luck” exists to prop a person up as a standout above others—destined to be so.

The glove joke is that only Steamboat Willie is in the public domain. Wearing the gloves makes him Mickey Mouse, which is why he should absolutely not wear them as his copyright hasn’t expired.

The other doors look like Donald Duck, Superman, and I guess James Bond? I assume their copyright expirations are coming soon—in that order.

This guy was appointed during Trump’s first term. Back then I remember this gutting/privatization of the USPS being a topic of discussion. I kept expecting to hear that Biden had replaced him; I wonder what made him keep him.

Well, plastic’s already in our brains and testicles so we might as well get whimsical with it at this point.

I can’t properly put into words how useless this appears to be. I run git from the command line so maybe others do it in a way where a dedicated button is more useful? I can’t fathom that.
