Believe it or not, I know the feeling. Took a vacation to Scotland like 10 years ago with the wife-to-be. Didn’t know anything shout the Fringe festival in Edinburgh and ended up there right in the middle of it with our rented car. Got used to driving on the opposite side of the road and car pretty quickly, but I was still remarkably proud of parallel parking in backwards-driving-world surrounded by street performers and tourists and doing it all on the first try. It was beautiful. We were perfectly equidistant from the surrounding cars, exactly 6 inches from the curb, in a manual transmission Jeep Renegade rental we picked up in Glasgow. To this day, it is my greatest parking achievement, without question. Still brings a tear to my eye reminiscing.

The contacts inside are too big and sensitive and it results in phantom inputs. The DIY fix is to open up the controller and literally cover parts of the input contacts with tape.

We literally have none of those things.

Edit: except perhaps the citizenship certificate but I’ve never seen one before, but yeah they exist. We don’t have ranked voting, and elections aren’t holidays, although your employer must give you paid time off to vote, like 3 hours, and there are exceptions of course, like truckers for some reason don’t get the time off.

Nah it’d be fine, just stay in the shade bro.

Bought a new computer, threw the old one out.

Use etc-keeper, saves everything in a git repo and integrates with a bunch of package managers. Been using it for decades it feels like now.

Morpheus: “Free… your… mind “ as he jumps an impossible gap between two high rise buildings.

Neo: “aww hell naw.”

‘Member when Trump said he’d take guns without due process? Like he literally said that.

Do non-Catholics not know the general shape of a cross? A lowercase T?

I predict Trump will make a day-one promise to remove this tariff calling it terrible, just terrible.

I mean, it’s right there in the name.

That movie was beyond stupid. I think I even saw it in the theatre. There’s like 3 billion base pairs in a strand of human DNA and Sliders over here uses his space skittles to form like a dozen base pairs and proclaims it’s his perfect woman’s DNA. That wouldn’t be enough for a bacterium’s ass let alone a human being, your perfect woman is severely broken dude.

“What one programmer can do in one month, two programmers can do in two months.”

Just for the sake of comparison, Alphabet had $308 billion in revenue and $74 billion in profit in 2023 if I’m reading the numbers correctly. But they need cheaper labour.

Eighty five American dollars for that? To what amounts to probably $3 in wholesale crap from a container drop?

It was just locker room talk about extrajudicial killings of people who inconvenienced him slightly.

Shake and bake in full effect.

“I think it would depend on the circumstances.” That doesn’t sound very absolute then, if it depends. “Absolute” means absolute, not “well actually it would depend.” I think they have a particular set of use cases in mind for this “absolute immunity” thing.

Working closely with KISS, Pophouse will follow its unique, value-add approach of drawing upon its world-class, in-house creative and storytelling expertise to unlock new audiences and revenue streams.

Almost gagged reading that. That’s a full business bingo card right there.

It may not have a been a single person in the first place. “Jia” may have just been a front for multiple people or a team of people working together to facilitate the whole situation.
