Oh man. Absolutely campy and yet I love it.

The issue is with regenerative braking and single pedal operation of EVs. Many vehicles today will essentially brake if you aren't on the accelerator.

Personally, I think it's a gap in design/regulation. But not as simple as brake pedals.

This isn't a life hack. Pockets are intentionally sewn shut for the manufacturing and shipping process. You are supposed to open them when you buy them.

Unfortunately, if a politician is trying to undermine that democracy, disenfranchise citizens, and break the checks and balances system, then democracy itself might not be enough to save democracy.

Democracy only works if the other side is fighting fair.

Stop making him out to be a martyr before anything happens to him. By repeating the rhetoric that "he'll be a martyr" you are preemptively saying that we can't do anything about it. He needs to have consequences for his actions and not just a refusal to hold him accountable because he'll "be a martyr."

Stop saying "he'll be a martyr."

This gets touted any time any consequence could come to him. Saying this makes it a lose lose situation. Either we let him get away and do whatever or "he's a martyr." No. He reaps whatever consequences come to him for his actions. It shouldn't come as an assassination, but he has to have some consequence for what he does.

Luca sucked, turning red had positive reviews but wasn't memorable, Coco had some great songs and some staying power, encanto rode high on Lin Manuel Miranda's lyrics, and Moana was strong.

Strange worlds fell flat, Elemental failed, Wish flopped, Lightyear was a let down, Raya and the Last Dragon was only "fine", and Rons Gone Wrong was forgettable, but mostly good.

Not to mention their live action failures.

"As if the creative future of the Western entertainment industry wasn’t already looking dire enough to begin with, Disney CEO Bob Iger has announced that, in an ostensible attempt to net the company a win after a string of back-to-back-to-back-to-back losses, the foreseeable future will see the House of Mouse turning away from original works in favor of producing easily marketable sequels."

It's eerily reminiscent of the Disney era of direct to VHS sequels that almost killed the company.

I hate the idea of going all in on IP they have versus original entertainment. The biggest attractions at Disneyland were original (jungle cruise, pirates of the Caribbean, the haunted mansion.)

As a former Disneyland park cast member, imo they have lost their way and what made them iconic storytellers. Leaderships has lost its creative edge and is writing films by committee. They want a culturally significant film they can virtue signal with and are trying to force it from the boardroom instead of hiring and encouraging diverse writers and giving them the freedom to tell their story.

Because they are pushing a narrative. They aren't being honest that no one is prepared to take over, no one else has been campaigning. Even if people wanted a replacement, there isn't one ready to take on the mantle.

They are intentionally sowing discord.

Whoever goes to HR first is usually the de facto winner. Sure, there might be an investigation. But they got their side of the story in first.

He's saying he works on enterprise gear. It's different. In networking, a lot of similar but other than rebooting shit, there isnt much to do.

And managing servers, services, using terraform or Jenkins, docker, podman, kubernetes or any other enterprise tool isn't the same as fixing your computer not printing.

Totally different skills

I don't begrudge a coworker befriending a supervisor. Maybe they are genuinely friends.

As much as you like people who come in a do their job and go home. Many others like it when they come in and a friend is there and they can chat, have a good time, and still get their responsibilities done.

If they can't get their work done, then it's a supervisors issue. You don't have to do their workload.

Almost no one knows how to do the job they are hired for. You'll have a trainer at almost every job. Apply for things you don't think you are qualified for. Most people figure it out as they go.

If you are still in school, unless you are trying to get into a post graduate school, like law school or med school. Your grades are the least interesting thing about you. Cs get degrees.

Once you're in the world. People care about experience and personality more than straight A's or the deans list.

My brother was homeless from addiction.

I'd give food and water; if they wanted to wash up I have a hose and would bring them soap and shampoo. Unfortunately, I've been burned with shit disappearing from when my brother was addicted, so I probably wouldn't let them in the house.

It's fine for 95% of use cases, but sucks for the rest. But having anyone restrict my ability to make choices for what is best for me and my situation puts a black mark on my book.

I can't hack insta. But I can probably hack your ex. Spearfishing is largely just a matter of time.
