  • It sounds a bit catch-22. They are struggling with having enough fresh water so that maintaining greenery can be difficult if not against watering restrictions.

    During the drought different neighborhoods are only allowed to water their lawns/outdoor plants on prescribed days of the week. Not that it's particularly enforced, but it's often there.

  • Setting up a server? Pretty darn easy.

    Teaching all your friends and relatives to figure out what app to use and login with your dyndns random entry or IP address. Or even more difficult, using VPN.

    It's not the hosting that's hard. It's the watching for non-tech people.

  • Algebra came easy to me. I came to realize even in elementary school we were doing algebra even if they didn't use that name. Simple arithmetic like 2 + 5 = ? Is algebra if you think of the ? As X.

    Then it's 2 + ? = 7.

    After that, at least to me, it's order of operations and just moving things around.

  • It's put me at odds with some managers, until I got high enough where it became a target and I could determine the path to get there.

    I hated managers who wouldn't tell me the why, because I'd inevitably hit something that doesn't line up with my training and I'd have to apply the why's to determine what to do.

  • I hate how the media doesn't call out anything this regime does as what it is. They softball everything.

    And I somewhat get that news articles should be facts with no editorializing. But this stuff is the political weaponization of the DOJ. It's not an opinion, it's a fact at this point.

  • I weirdly love reading code and figuring out what it's doing. Debugging is cathartic.

    It might take a while and I might be cussing up a storm saying, wtf is this shit? Why the fuck would you do it this way? Why the fuck did you make this convoluted for no reason?

    Right now it's unfucking some vibe coded bs where instead of just fixing an API to get the info we needed accurately, it's trying to infer it from other data. Like, there is a super direct and simple route, but instead there are hundreds of lines to work around hitting the wrong endpoint and getting data missing the details we need.

    Plus letting the vibe add so much that is literally never used, was never needed, and on top of that returns incorrect information.

  • My mentality that has helped (before I worked in retail and dealt with hundreds if not thousands of people a day) was realizing that they will probably think about me just as much as I think about them in a few hours. Which is not at all.

    There is a little nihilism of "nothing in this conversation matter" mixed with I learned I kind of like people. The vast majority of people are nice.

  • The previous standard for studying the 2020 election merely said, “Examine issues related to the election of 2020 and its outcome.” The new version is more expansive: “Identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of ‘bellwether county’ trends.”

    "Identify discrepancies" is very leading implying that they did exist.

    Then everything that follows imply they happened, it lends credence by being discussed even if they didn't happen.
