- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 1 week ago:
In a new session isn’t there no speaker until one is elected with any rules?
Just don’t accept the rules and go into another cycle of endless votes for speaker.

It just means you could claim EI.

Time to negotiate a high severance in your job offer if they change their minds and make you return to office or quit.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 4 weeks ago:
Jeff Bezos and his massive overcompensation of a dick rocket that can also land propulsively, but not worth discussing.
In case anyone doesn’t know why… it’s not an orbital rocket. It just goes up and down. Orbital is going up AND sideways very fast.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 4 weeks ago:
I tried to explain to someone that SpaceX testing things to failure was part of their success, and gave an example like purposely leaving heat shield tiles off starship to see what happened, and they then came back saying that is exactly why they (and other people) hate SpaceX.
- Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX? 4 weeks ago:
I thought it was the boosters that were pointlessly reused and would have been cheaper to make new.
Are you sure it was also the shuttle itself?
- Comment on Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase 5 weeks ago:
I mean that’s what the California law is.
If you buy it you own it, but we aren’t buying the games.
A law that says they have to let us buy it instead of license it would be nice though.
- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 1 month ago:
One thing I like about space fights is you’ll often see them use the 3 dimensions and that they aren’t just upright. But they really are upright to everything almost all of the time otherwise.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 1 month ago:
They’re bigger so it’s hard to know, but it’s usually something like 2.9% + 10c a transaction.
At their scale though who knows
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 1 month ago:
They should almost just make it so even the free version of firebase has a $1 non refundable pre-payment so they can just whittle away at the pennies instead of getting charged processing/transaction fees on a $0.01 transaction.
I think people would pay $1 to enable the paid plans. If you’re going that far, you’re getting $1 of use out of it.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 1 month ago:
I’ve had Google charge me $0.01 before for firebase usage.
They really should have waited until I owed more since that cost them money.

I’d never even heard of this before. Wtf
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 1 month ago:
It’s a invite only alpha and as I write this it’s #7 on the steam rankings of current players, 6 if you wanna exclude Banana which is it’s own hilarious thing
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Not about auto rejections, but inept HR…
My favorite is in the earlier days of iOS and Android, like 5 years in kinda thing, there were job postings that required 8 years, specifically in Android or iOS, not just 8 years of development experience.
- Comment on Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower 1 month ago:
- Exhausted working on something realizing I’m no longer being productive and stuck on a problem.
- Decide to take a break and go empty the dishwasher
- Comes back more refreshed and almost immediately solve the problem.

AFAIK merch is often bigger than concerts for the non big names.
- Comment on My new company let me join the union on my first day, within their onboarding app 2 months ago:
…
I understand how to read.
Ignore the 94% it’s the part below it.
It’s supposed to stop charging my battery at 84%. It always charges my battery to 100% despite the setting.
- Comment on My new company let me join the union on my first day, within their onboarding app 2 months ago:
I’m specifically talking about macbooks.
My laptop is of course at 100% despite what this says
- Comment on My new company let me join the union on my first day, within their onboarding app 2 months ago:
What good is the union if they can’t even get you more than minimum wage? Wow.
- Comment on My new company let me join the union on my first day, within their onboarding app 2 months ago:
Fuck apple and it’s “AI powered” battery charge protector for my laptop that says it’ll stop it at 80% (or 85%?) based on your usage habits, but always charges it to full because fuck your battery. I’d bet money they don’t give you the option to permanently set it because they know the battery dies sooner because their AI battery manager sucks.
I may be triggered.

For action comedy, I thought bullet train was great.
- Comment on Halo on Paramount+ has been canceled after only two seasons 3 months ago:
So, I tried to watch it…
The non English parts with the aliens wouldn’t show the subtitles no matter what I did.
I wasn’t the only one having that trouble

- Comment on Insecticides Made of RNA Could Offer a Safer and More Targeted Weapon Against Crop Pests 4 months ago:
The virus is just the delivery mechanism.
The RNA is the killer.
Same with some of the covid vaccines. They are delivered via the Adenovirus and it contains DNA instead of RNA which makes the spike protein which is the vaccine.
But I wouldn’t say the virus is the vaccine.
- Comment on Uber and Lyft now required to pay Massachusetts rideshare drivers $32 an hour 4 months ago:
Does an airline baggage-handler only get paid for the “specific minutes” when he is lifting luggage?
What’s actually tragic is similar things like this do happen in the air industry
Flight attendants for example are typically paid only for hours on the plane. All the time getting to the plans through security screeninfs doesnt count. All the work they do at the gate before and after doesn’t count. It’s only hours in the plane.

That was a teleprompter.
He just did a speech today on a teleprompter and was fine as well.
- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 4 months ago:
The best deals you usually only get 3 or 2 toppings as well.
I can make a nice pizza with 2, but 2 often feels lacking.
- Comment on How did we switched from "Dinosaur are giant lizards" to "Dinosaur are giant birds" 4 months ago:
alligators are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards.
Well that’s a cool TIL
- Comment on Amazon hit with $5.9 million fine for violating California labor law 4 months ago:
Just be racist to the cashier when purchasing the avocado and in their absolute distress, walk out with it.
Not sure if that’d be $2.40 or $4.80 but might be the cheaper to fuel the addiction.
- Comment on Amazon hit with $5.9 million fine for violating California labor law 4 months ago:
Just think of how many laws I can break at $2.40 a pop!
