This looks uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they were to make it in the form of a suppository…

Sending my pots and thrayers 👏

“Pissing in the soup” doesn’t really work here unless you’re adulterating the software with something malicious.

Assuming a ~20% shift towards pro-choice opinions I would expect more pro-choice laws, not an orgy of casual abortions.

Polling suggests that around 70% of women and 50% of men support abortion, though. If those stats simply reversed then nothing really changes.

To be fair, there are important differences between open source and closed source software.

I’m curious how it’s considered a “layoff” if it’s based on performance rather than the job itself being eliminated.

Software is like a gas: it expands to fill its container.

I once experienced an episode of sleep paralysis with auditory hallucinations. I heard a deep masculine voice speaking in a guttural language that seemed just on the edge of being comprehensible to me. As if it were the primeval language from which all others sprang. The feel of the language in my ear was as familiar as my native tongue. I recognized the cadence, I could discern where one word ended and the next began, whether a sentence was a question, and so forth. But the words themselves were somehow alien.

I strained my senses trying to hear the voice more clearly. What horrible prophesy was I being given? What dreadful task have I been appointed? Am I the keymaster? The antichrist? Am I dying? Oh shit, that’s it, isn’t it? I’m dying and going to hell. Fuckfuckfuck. Um. I accept Jesus as my savior? …Buddha? …Joe Pesci?

Then I snapped out of it and the voice turned out to be the muffled sound of my neighbor’s TV. Praise be to Joe Pesci!

AFAIK California doesn’t require a license for ebikes.

At first I thought this was an announcement from Microsoft.

Parent: Say “dad”

Baby: “Dad”

Don’t leave us hanging. Who won the argument?

…are non-US peanut butters less viscous?

I am also that guy, and it was more like 17 years ago.

Reminds me of the old trick on HTML forms where you use CSS to make one of the form fields invisible to humans and reject any submission that filled in that field.

You don’t go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?
