Make the spice syrup at home and mix that directly into your bourbon then carbonate the results and add water as needed.

It will be a million times better and you’ll only need to make new syrup a few times a year.

Fuck AI code generation. I gave it a fair shot and it’s a waste of time that actively makes my job harder.

Due to how shitty our world is… you just slowly accumulate trusted sources. Google has no motivation to give you a reliable news source that’d compete with their incredibly anticompetitive news tab.

As a tech person I hang around on HackerNews a lot and have found some good sources through that.

A surprising number of writers just hone their craft on Ao3 (archive of our own) and then self publish on Amazon. A friend of mine did that and while she doesn’t make a ton she does get a continous trickle of sales. Amazon is a big back of dicks but it is the marketplace unfortunately.

Wait - are Perforce the clowns behind Visual Source Safe? I entered the workforce only a few years after git really entered the market and had to migrate a project off of VSS.

CPAP first - having sleep apnea usually destroys your energy levels and makes it extremely difficult to lose weight.

I’m tree screaming for a white christmas…

Just like the trees that used to scream…

I, personally, have always been fond of headphones that double as ear muffs. Back in the day that meant Sennheisers - it may mean something else now, though.

Headphones and a volume dial that goes to 11.

Uh, is your phone bulging? It might just be the lighting but if it’s visibly bulging please stop being anywhere near it.

I came here to make a Gonorrhea joke but you beat me off to it.

Trump constantly… except the being embarrassed about it part.

He’s clownishly uninformed about so much common knowledge that people just assume everyone knows.

Oh. Okay.

As a Canadian… try and snag us some good doctors as the American healthcare system collapses.

It’s nice to see the gaming industry embracing more realistic body shapes.

What?

And by a publisher we had such deep faith in after the glorious launch that New World had?!

It wasn’t, I think PHP is legitimately an excellent language for readability and expressiveness.

C++ is pretty awesome but anyone who thinks a single language is the solution to all problems is dumb… unless you’re smart enough to realize that the one language to rule them all is PHP of course!

That’s a hard thing to say. I traveled in countries I couldn’t speak the language of before smart phones existed and it was a struggle of paper maps and relying on hospitality workers, guides, and locals who I could speak with as well as phrase dictionaries. It was a struggle and you’d have to be very careful about going off the beaten path.

With a phone I can just walk in a direction I choose, ask locals questions in the local language, and feel confident that if I got myself in a shitty situation I’d be able to sort it out.

They’re a spammer - they wanted to post it to every community.
