It should be illegal for a video like that to exist without showing it firing.

Everybody brace for a new influx.

Do we have the welcoming committee all ready to explain poop-holding and beans stroganoff?

Imagine this conversation in the IT department at a large bank:

IT Manager: It’s what?!

Security Engineer: Gone. It’s all gone. Every red cent this bank held in every account has been transferred by malicious actors to anonymous Swiss accounts.

IT Manager: How could we have let this happen?

Security Engineer: The hackers got approval to install PuTTY. There was nothing we could do.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

I can think of specific instances where I’ve done each of these roles in my software engineering job:

• Tech support
• Sysadmin
• DevOps
• QA (oh do I have a story about this one)
• Management
• Release management
• Agile coach
• Security engineer/pen tester
• Compliance
• Custodian

As well as customer relations. I don’t know that I’ve ever done much product management, though.

They were marketing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (though not by name, because it didn’t have a name yet) before the WiiU was released. And they strung everybody along until after the Switch was released.

Fuckers! I was an early adopter of the WiiU because “well, I’ll for sure want one when the WiiU exclusive Zelda title comes out.”

Not always. Just usually.

That’s what “they go low, we go high” translates to from Hillary’s native tongue.

Watch out for scams

…such as Bitcoin.

I wonder how it tastes with concentrated virus sample topping.

TIL Linus is capable of decency. Occasionally.

Ok, I’ll be the first to ask.

• Does your phobia of nudity extend to others being nude? If so, does that include people not in person? (People you’re on the phone with or texting with? Recordings or photographs of strangers in the nude like artistic nudes and such?)
• Do you consider yourself to be on the asexual spectrum?
• Do you bathe/shower regularly?

You’re a wonderful, valid, entire person who can’t be well described by just this one thing. But it’s interesting to get a peek into what’s unique and different about folks’ internal experience of the world. Also, don’t feel like you have to answer anything you don’t want to.

Legally, at least in the U.S. (though I hear not in Japan?), if you’re sued on a defamation case (slander or libel), if you can prove that what you said was true, that’s an ironclad defense.

I think it’s fair to say that you can’t necessarily know if something you’ve said about something was ethically acceptable until it’s certain whether what you said was true or not. If you say something about someone that you aren’t 100% sure is true, then whether it’s ok for you to have said that can’t really be known until the truth or falsehood of the assertion is certain.

But the bonus to AC is so nice…

You’re the expert!

How much pig would a guinea pig guinea if a guinea pig could guinea pigs?

doesn’t stop the worry.

As someone who makes a lot more money than I did previously, I’d say it largely does, at least for me.

I don’t spend anywhere near as much time:

• Budgeting
• Looking at my bank account balance
• Deciding what needful thing I’ll neglect this month

In short, I spend less time thinking about money, which means I spend less time worrying about money.

It’s not like I don’t worry at all about money, but I do worry a lot less of the time, and less intensely.

At this point, honestly, I think having more income might make me more stressed than I am now. Though I would like to be able to quit my day job for a business I own myself, maybe. As long as the income was reliable.

We summon the great demon king Asmeowdeus to teach us how to use can openers!

This bill was introduced by a Republican?

I mean… a broken clock is right twice a day, right?

A rare instance of Missouri becoming national news in a good way.

Do we really think there’s a significant number of Trump voters out there who regret their vote? Really?

It seems far more likely to me that most Trump voters are doubling down. “Prices are going to come down way lower than they were before Trump took office. This is actually Biden’s fault. Prices are going down, actually. Particularly eggs, depsite what the woke MSM would tell you. In fact, eggs are cheapest in states with the least restrictive gun regulations and highest deportation rates for illegals. Prices have never been this low. Trump is making Mexico pay our grocery bills.”

Sure, you can find one or two people who will claim to be regretful Trump voters. (Just like you can find a very few microbiologists who swear the universe was created in six literal days around 6,000 years ago.) But I can’t imagine any significant number of Trump voters having that much self awareness and intellectual honesty.
