In Australia they just straight-up spell it that way

Say it however you want that works for your relationship.

What I meant to be saying there was — if nobody tells him his review comments aren’t helpful anymore, then he probably won’t know.

I’m speaking from the perspective of somebody who spends like 1/2 their time or more doing code reviews, if I’m wasting people's time I would want to know it

You need to tell him that. Seriously. Pick some especially bad example to point at, and come to him with, "Hey Bob, I used to get real value from your review comments. I could tell you were thinking about what to say and it helped me to produce better code. Now it seems I am mostly seeing LLM-generated junk like this one that doesn't help anybody. This isn't an improvement, can you go back to the more helpful way you used to do things?"

Cut off for sharing, or cut off for running illegal/unsafe/unlicensed wiring and plumbing connections?

Go to the bathroom and eat a snack.

I spent a vacation once with no internet and no lights. Worked myself hard all day snorkeling and went to bed at dark.

Every night, woke up in the middle of the night for a peaceful amble to the jakes and wandered around for a bit enjoying myself before going back to bed.

It felt very natural.

I pulled in late and tired to a random motel 6 in Illinois. Went in to the office with my wife and three small children, talked to the attendant through thick bulletproof glass to get a room. Attendant was very weirdly hesitant.

Went to the room, found the floor was linoleum tiles that were all peeling up at the edges, doors, doorframes, beds all in bad condition, some seriously weird and disturbing smell we didn’t recognize.

Came back down to the office and asked for our money back, which is the single solitary time I’ve ever done that at a hotel. The attendant seemed relieved and was very happy to return the money.

Our kids were really little but they’ve always remembered that and they call it the “nope-tel”

Do your guys benefit from all that team building? Or do they just get the same minimum wage no matter what while all the benefits of team efficiency go to the owner?

Yes, like the Wii and the Wii U!

One of the things that absolutely sucks donkey balls about being a new parent is that half your friends just totally ghost you and done want to deal with the complications of your kids, which it sounds like your friend is dealing with.

Definitely hanging out in a coffee shop with a bored toddler is not a recipe for a good time, which I guess your friend has not discovered hard enough yet. The other person suggesting hanging out at a park instead is on to something. Or just anywhere else where the kid has something to do besides sit down and shut up, which generally they won’t.

Babbel is working ok for me for learning French.

Just lessons without all the hearts and ads and crap

*Thou hast

The tail boom is massive compared to a sports car but I think the folded-up package looks not bigger than a giant American SUV.

Speaking as one who routinely has trouble parking a motor home and driving over curbs with it — this big awkward-looking vehicle doesn’t look like a great city-car but it does not compete with motor homes for the awkwardness prize.

Where are his legs??

Learning to drive a stick is really easy if you have somebody to teach you well, but waaay too many people are like, "here, keep fucking up until the car doesn't go anymore or you figure it out, whichever comes first".

Hardest part is getting the car to start moving from stopped. Changing gears once moving, you can fuck it up a bunch and nothing much happens except funny engine noises and the owner starts making constipated-looking facial expressions. But if you fuck up starting from stopped, then you lurch around a bunch, stall the engine, and don't go anywhere.

To get started from stopped, without horrible lurches or stalls, do like this FROM A FLAT PLACE -- don't try anything with hills until you can make the car go on the flat first:

0. IMPORTANT: adjust your seat so you can easily push the clutch (left pedal) in -- all the way to the floor -- without uncomfortable stretching
1. In your driveway when there's nobody going to honk at you, start the car, put it in neutral, and practice pushing the gas pedal just enough to hold the engine at 3000 RPM or so. Not making crazy racing noises, just a nice steady "the engine is running normal-fast-ish" and hold it that way. Practice a couple times until your foot and your ear know what it feels like
2. Put it in gear without moving -- gas off, clutch in and put the car in first gear.
3. Gas on, steady at 3000 RPM, slooooooowly let the clutch out until you can just barely feel the clutch is engaged. Engine revs down a little bit, car starts crawling forward. Practice that a couple times, just let the clutch out until it barely starts doing anything, then put it back in, until your foot knows what it feels like.
4. Now do it again, engine held at steady revs, clutch out until just barely engaged, then let the clutch out just a little bit more, so the car wants to crawl, and hold the clutch there. Car starts crawling. Keep the engine steady like you've been, let the car start crawling, don't even change anything, just let the car crawl. It will slowly accelerate until you're moving at some steady 1st-gear speed. Once it's come up to (slow) speed you can let the clutch out the rest of the way.
5. Congratulations you moved a car

Vielen Dank für die Lektion.

Also dann poste ich weiter und höre ich mit den pfostieren auf.

Doch seid ihr! Genau das ist mein Problem.

Mir würde ganz klar erklärt, dass wahre Deutsche kein Spaß erkennen.

If you fill and empty with raw seawater on the regular then you will have plenty of opportunity for growth on the inside and a constant supply of new water with fresh nutrients meaning everything is going to want to grow into the water inlet and clog it.

Maybe they will sink a giant bladder of sterile water together with the hollow sphere, and then figure out a way to make the bladder not fail for 20 years?

Fickt euch alle; was habt ihr mich angetan?

Wie heißt denn, „pfostieren“ wenn man sich mal nicht auf dem Internetz lächerlich machen will?
