There aremany benefits to a siloed operation that all relate to preventing overwork and scope creep.
This example is part of the cost.
We use copy and paste a lot.
- Comment on With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake? 2 days ago:
Is there ice cream on it or in it? Spoon. Otherwise, fork.
- Comment on Would you ever call your son a disappointment? 2 days ago:
No. “Being a disappointing,” yes. “A disappointment,” no.
The difference is one is a fixable behaviour, and the other is an identity.
- Comment on Shoutout to yall 2 days ago:
And he wants it all dry-cleaned ? He should go to the fluff-n-fold instead if it’s just blue collar gear with the cover-alls and such.
I wish I had a fluff-n-fold when I was at the fish farm, as downtime in town was short. But, then again, some poor Laundromat would have to suffer all my fishy smelling gear!

Spelled like faxing, taxing and relaxing? Why the added letter?

Everytime
Not a word.
- Comment on ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push 6 days ago:
It’s Atlassian, which we call Half-Assed-ian. They make Flatulence and Jeer-a.
- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 1 week ago:
Do you think they’d actually bring back the draft?
The important question is whether THEY think they’ll bring back the draft; and the answer is yes, they are thinking of that very thing. Young men - they’ll bar women - will go and die, just to keep the Epstein files sealed by any distraction possible. Any fight, any time, anything big and bloody.
(Because if you listen to the one witness, it’s just eve such more more heinous than even this)
- Comment on Starbucks Rewards enshittifies into 3 shitty tiers 1 week ago:
They forced an update that won’t run on my phone.
- can’t run the required version
- old version just tries to update
So I’m almost out anyway.
I like their chai lattes. I can’t get the same taste anywhere else, and if I try to make it it’s a “we have mcdonalds at home” result.
So about twice a year, now, I get a fucking c$6 latte as a treat. I miss 2019 with the many locations - one 80m away in my walkable block - and a really nice barista who made the effort to smile and chat directly. Now I have none of those things and this is like dia de los muertos.
- Comment on The price of oil is skyrocketting. People in Alexandria, Virgnia, are worried about bike lanes 1 week ago:
Mixing squishy people and big steel trucks will definitely impact one group a lot more than the other.
Good luck.
- Comment on I LOVE EATING STIR BARS 2 weeks ago:
Oh! Stir bars are the magnetic things at the bottom of lab jars when you’re missing stuff, right?
I thought Stir Bar was a nutrition bar or a chocolate bar like a Boost. Stir isn’t a great name for a protein bar, but it’s not the worst.
- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 3 weeks ago:
Although it’s been shown learning another language as a child changes the way your mind works, there’s only so much money in the teaching budget and so many hours in the day. Conservatives want to take both from our kids, for their own ends, so justifying the value of the resources to the student is a perennial challenge.
Given the low proficiency of current grads with their first language, and basic skills like punctuation and spelling, I say we’re a LONG way before we can open a second language in the curriculum.
- Comment on Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix? 3 weeks ago:
It appears dementia has set in.

libertarianism
I’m sorry to say you lost me at this word, so super-charged that my brain now filters the content and speaker.
But I came really to say: Dude. FOOTNOTES?!? We can do that here? Beautiful example; Legend. Thanks for showing me how.
- Comment on The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling 4 weeks ago:
such measures are much simpler than fixing the current education system
it’s harm reduction while we also work to build a tolerance to the drug … through learning and reasoning.
- Comment on The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling 4 weeks ago:
It’s also used in healthier ways, like search results, chat logs, and so on.
That’s an excellent point. Viewing a log file over the web, particularly when it’s still growing, absolutely needs infinite scrolling. The Old Way is UX poison.
Is RedHat the company in on this? Is it because they can’t figure out how to scroll text well in their AAP/Tower/whatever platform and are annoyed with people chanting YOU HAD ONE JOB at them? (no need to look it up – that entire Tower product and the tech behind it would be hot garbage 20 years ago and is hot garbage now, so I’m just dunking on them)
- Comment on The EU moves to kill infinite scrolling 4 weeks ago:
I also don’t want some [bureaucrats] tell me what’s good for me.
These same policy wonks tell you to wear a seat belt because that’s (proven) good for you; as is not smoking. They tell everyone ELSE not to speed because those wonks know everyone else is a terrible driver, and that’s better for you. These are the types who maintain building code and human rights and legal process because - yep - it’s better for you.
There’s a trend, here. I get that we sometimes feel opposition to things, but when there is science behind it - sit DOWN, RFKjr and the rest of you whackadoos - it’s usually good to go with it.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
There’s my nemesis. Gen-X, and my rule is “if you don’t see blood or fire, don’t call me. If you do, call 9-1-1 and don’t call me.”
My exception is a planned call like with a bank or for an interview, and I’ll push zoom/etc at all costs.

Nonsense. It was an important story, and OOP would have checked for spelling.
- Comment on Why is no news channel reporting on the school shooting in Canada? 4 weeks ago:
it does contain a false premise.
Someone’s learning what “beggaring the question” means.
- Comment on Anon works in cybersecurity 4 weeks ago:
Is it rfc1178 that says not to use names that look like serial numbers because they’re not mentally distinct enough?
- Comment on Anon works in cybersecurity 4 weeks ago:
In short, “be a member of the team” and a likable enough person to get along with at work.
The recurring themes in this message suggest that’s going to be challenging.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 5 weeks ago:
You do not need to impress the clods who eat pizza with flatware. These people would eat a sandwich with flatware if someone “more important” did it.

Thank you for jumping to the defence of a deceased person for a potential disparagement another dead person made based on an intrinsic attribute we cannot confirm.
