His newest social media venture is focused on a niche of extreme exploration, named the Xtreme Network for Xtraordinary Xploration. You can find it at xnxx.com.

model_tar_gz,

Would you rather have 100,000 kg of tasty supreme pizza, or 200 kg of steaming manure?

Choose wisely.

model_tar_gz,

I figure I can probably convert about 10 kg into manure before it autoconverts into compost. Which is maybe even a worse problem.

model_tar_gz,

A selfish asshole that drives predictably is safer than a generous driver that yields the row.

model_tar_gz,

Then try it with cold vodka. The alcohol evaporates faster than water, so it really has that strong cooling effect.

Edit: not joking. I actually do this, the alcohol helps dissolve and clean the waxy buildup too.

2nd edit: don’t fucking shove the Qtip into the canal like an idiot. It’s for the outer ear only, freaks.

model_tar_gz,

Sure, you can use IPA. It’s more toxic than ethanol but in the very small amounts we’re talking here it’s a negligible difference.

model_tar_gz,

I’m more of a mead guy, myself. Completely unrelated, I also listen to Norwegian metal while munching on rye crackers.

model_tar_gz,

That that to the 3000 browser tabs I have open, two instances of VS code, the multithreaded python app I’m running and developing, the several-gigabytes large dataset that’s active in memory.

Some days, even 64 GB isn’t enough.

model_tar_gz,

Well it’s only slightly more than one-third of almost 9000!

model_tar_gz,

Hail.

No, this is incompetent management.

Senior engineers write enabling code/scaffolding, and review code, and mentor juniors. They also write feature code.

Lead engineers code and lead dev teams.

Principal engineers code, and talk about tech in meetings.

Senior Principal engineers, and distinguished technologists/fellows talk about tech, and maybe sometimes code.

Good managers go to meetings and shield the engineers from the stream of exec corporate bs. Infrequently they may rope any of the engineers in this chain in to explain the decisions that the engineers make along the way.

Bad managers bring engineers in to these meetings frequently.

Terrible managers make the engineering decisions and push those to the engineers.

model_tar_gz,

I’ve worked for startups too; everyone does everything all at the same time! Let the chaos reign! But it is fun in its own way.

I work for a large company now after the startup I worked for was acquired. Hierarchy, bureaucracy, layers, we’ve got it all. For worse and for better though, it allows me to focus and specialize on what I’m awesome at and furgeddaboddit (ahem! delegate) the stuff that I suck at to those who excel at those tasks.

model_tar_gz,

Questioning the science that generated the science is science. See also: recursion.

model_tar_gz,

I have the Scouts to thank for turning me into first an atheist, then through their example of militant protheism, I became a militant antitheist and a secular prohumanist.

I didn’t find my spirituality because of them, I found it in spite of them.

model_tar_gz, (edited )

Yes. I do not see any contradiction. My view of spirituality is a broad and subjective concept that relates to my search for meaning, purpose, and connection to something greater than myself—my role in the universe, and the universe’s role in my existence. Religion has nothing to do with that.

I practice meditation, mindfulness, and self-reflection in a way that does not require attachment to belief of supernatural phenomena.

model_tar_gz,

There is a “tool library” sort of service (for profit) operating in my area. The prices are absurd—people are charging like $20/day for a tool that would cost $100 new, or half that used on craigslist. My projects often span multiple days, especially if there’s an unforeseen delay—which there always is because I’m a good engineer but a shitty carpenter.

I don’t use the service. I’m all for communal ownership but it still has to make sense.

model_tar_gz,

It’s a for-profit service that people use to rent-out, and rent-in their tools. Not a true library so to speak but seeks to accomplish the same. Except that people charging $20/day to rent their battery-powered Ryobi drill is absurd.

model_tar_gz,

It’s not a fair comparison then is it? $80/hr is an expensive but not outrageously so handyman, plus they have their own tools to purchase and maintain and other business operating overhead (fuel and transportation maintenance) etc.

DIY—if you’re able—is always less expensive.

model_tar_gz,

Agreed.

model_tar_gz,

That worked out ok for one of the 9/11 jumpers. Maybe you could be the next one!
