One of the best parts from Spaced (Simon Pegg & Jessica Stevenson’s season show from the early 2000s).

Yeah I think it would be more accurate to say they were abusing alcohol.

It could easily lead to alcoholism, which usually includes building up a tolerance such that your body doesn’t cause you to puke as often.

It would be best to convert it to full employee ownership if it isn’t yet. As long as a steady stream of good employees keeps revolving in it should be a stable company that provides for its employees and customers.

He was always one of my favorite painters in art school, thanks for sharing.

You know it’s in the sun when the side we can see isn’t, right?

I’m against the ccp’s bullshit as much as the next guy, but the hardest part of confirming it is that it’s always facing away from earth,so you need something orbiting the moon to communicate with it.

Don’t worry, the gaming industry is happy to take over/pile on the propaganda. They even get paid by the arms makers to develop them.

I think the term documentation can and should include bug reports, community questions and answers, and project examples and guides that are often only shared in Discord servers in recent years.

Most of these servers would be better off as discussion forums, but spam and ancient software have really hurt them. Young web devs need to start giving a shit about open web again. Time to make something better than phpbb, wordpress, and discord.

Killing time while recharging the batteries was the original pitch for all the entertainment in Teslas.

There’s going to be a big jailbreak market opening up for these things when they’re out of warranty. Cancelling free charging plans which helped keep people on their data networks will also drive hacking. If the cars last that long.

I use regex find and replace for rename/refactor edits across files. No AI necessary. But I’m also a Luddite using Textmate on an old Macbook.

The line about getting a mouthful of bird feces dust in the morning was all I needed to hear.

Also called a portmanteau, like internet, malware, or genome.

My mom is a boomer who was fortunate to inherit her mom’s house when both my dad and her mom died within months of each other.

She’s on a fixed income, but was able to get rebates and sincerely Solar relatively early, 2015 I think. Her medium sized northern US house was previously heated with wood pellets, but now has a dual zone heat pump, and the solar has paid for itself in electricity savings in the first 4 years.

She’s lost a panel and inverter since then (inverter was under warranty), but the replacement inverter is less than half the size, and leaves room in the garage for a battery someday.

It’s worked out very well financially for her. I’m jealous because I don’t have the cash or sunny roof space to make it work at my house.

If it’s incinerated properly, burning the old plastic shouldn’t be much different from burning other hydrocarbons.

I’d rather they burned up plastics from landfills than coal, and probably oil and gas too really.

I wonder how much energy it takes to transform, or hold patterns like that.

Also it’s a bummer they’re lives are so short. We need some more smart octopi in our world.

They’re probably spending intervening 10 months cleaning all the embarrassing comments out of the code before the initial commit.

Vietnam was bike centric for decades before Northern Europe. They just did it by making cars impossibly expensive for most people.

And besides monsoon season, is pretty nice to ride in.

Montreal has a bunch too, Milwalkee I think, has enclosed bridges between a lot of the buildings downtown.

Boston has some between malls and hotels, but it’s really only in the touristy parts. And definitely no bikes in there.

Is snows 3-4 months of the year and is regularly below freezing. I love riding my bike and did some pretty rough weather when I was younger in Boston, but I just don’t have it in me between mid November and mid April.

If I lived in a place with basically perpetually summer weather I’d ride all year and ditch a car too.

If it was slightly flexible, it’d be a good driving sim screen wrapped half way around the rig.
