Naked greed has a way of making even the orangest turd seem to sparkle like gold.
I love stories from hardware / embedded design. Reminds me that black magic is real, and it's a miracle any of this works.
Is this a game to you? Do you see the dead-serious commitment on this man's face?
Make no mistake, I see it as very likely that this problem doesn't get solved without significant violence.
Lol eh, that sounds pretty hilarious
Once as a kid I was hanging out with a buddy near the area where my neighborhood stopped and the next one started.
Pretty girl from the next neighborhood starts coming our way, of course me and the homie start shitting bricks. She gets to us, looks at me, and goes "oh, sorry, you looked hot from far away", and turned around and walked back 💀
Obviously it stung but it was just so hilariously, callously mean that I had to laugh even in the moment lol
I hope it at least had the good manners to do the comical "collapse up / backwards on itself" thing!
Bb gun fights were the best. Topped only by Roman candle fights, and we had some epic, like 10v10 ones spanning entire parks.
Holy shit that's not even true lmao, I have the one from Serpents Unleashed. Just got too excited to pay close attention lol
Got a version of this, from the hand of the man himself (John Dyer Baizley), hanging on my office wall! Helps that this record fuckin rips.
We would've gotten along famously lol. We used to treat cartoons like instruction manuals for fun and cool shit, none of it worked like on TV of course, but still lots of (often painful) fun to be had.
Bedsheets do not in fact make an adequate parachute for a second story jump, btw.
Great, now I'm Team Old-Testament-God
The high road is gone.
Republicans reshaped their party from the inside via the Tea Party dorks. We're all worse off for that, but - at this point, the only path forward is for Democrats to do the same, reshape the party by going hard left, vehemently attack the corporate Democrats (almost all of them).
E: typos
Ah interesting, I think for some reason I assumed it'd be more of an administrative career path offshoot for someone working in chemistry, but architecture does make more sense. And I know how you feel, I started my career in industrial controls because the idea of working at the interface between invisible electrical black magic and moving valves, motors, and other machinery seemed real cool.
Quickly learned that in that world, creativity and innovation are treated more like liabilities than anything else lol, and rightly so. There's a few great, proven ways to do most things, and rarely is it wise or fruitful to develop novel approaches over one of the proven solutions. I wouldn't want to be a chemist in a lab toting multiple new designs, lol.
I found it stifling, but could've tolerated it a lot better if the majority were WFH like yours!
Lmao but why? Are Polish folks especially concerned about the bathroom habits of their elders?!
Edit to add: before even knowing what it meant this one was my favorite.
Seriously. There's no reasonable argument that they should have been allowed to continue to exist after that.
I really wish we'd start prosecuting and imprisoning leadership boards for really anything the company does wrong. It's really amazing the way we let companies just get away with every single thing, I mean how much more predictable could the slide to shittiness be?
