If they're leaking this now, they have already purchased their personal "investments" to dump in exchange for tax (tariff) dollars.

My coworkers, especially the younger ones, are surprised when they watch me work in vi. Lots of "how did you do that so fast?"

My surgically repaired ankle starts to hurt when the barometric pressure drops which is a harbinger of thunderstorms here. The more severe the pain the more severe the weather.

It has done this since I was in my late 20s, so yeah I sound like an old man, but it was true even when I was young. Took me a few years to work out the connection between the ankle pain and the weather.

It is hurting a decent amount today and storms are predicted for the whole weekend here in north Texas.

Now this will be a GOOD Friday.

Vim. I used to use emacs in the mid-90s, but I just found that vi was more universally supported. At this point, I am too old and stubborn to learn anything else. I am really efficient in vim.

Would be hilarious if they discovered the rising rates were due to microplastics in the environment. Deregulation will surely fix that...

But they'll audit the people making less than 200k because they can't afford to hire lawyers to effectively fight back.

I think you mean it will ducking correct...

I turned mine off completely because it has bo comprehension of when an apostrophe is appropriate in front of the letter s. Forever making words possessive that were intended to be plural. Apostrophes do not mean "look out, here comes an s."

I would not be surprised if autocorrect was a major culprit along with phone keyboards. You can type something correctly and have autocorrect make it wrong. It's also super easy to get the wrong letter if you have normal sized hands and are typing on a phone keyboard. I have turned autocorrect completely off and am significantly less error prone as a result.

I frequently decide against correcting an error if I think my intention is clear, and I am in a hurry. I don't really care what strangers on the internet think of my editing skills.

Well, since it is basic military doctrine that you should never field a unit that you can't afford to lose, and the billions in $ losses and thousands of sailor lives means we can't afford to lose a carrier, this suggests that carriers are now obsolete and should be retired.

The price was going to be $499. A 145% tariff makes the price $1222.55. A 100% tariff would double the price and this is more than 100%.

Looks like pretty steep inflation fueled by tariffs. I wonder how the Denies Reality Party (DeRPs) will spin it.

As a male Gen-X with short hair my whole life I am only dimly aware of what my female compatriots were up to with these. I admired the results for sure.

Yeah that sounds awful. Fortunately corporate policies prohibit putting our technical data into AIs.

Scrum is just something I have to endure in order to get paid to program. The worst is when you're working on something hard and your status hasn't changed substantially from the previous day. "I did a bunch of things that didn't pan out, so I only really have an expanding list of things that are not the problem. No, assigning someone to help me is unlikely to resolve the issue faster."

My dog whistle translator says the alleged violations are offering scholarships for women and minorities that white males are ineligible to receive.

Insurance investigators may yet bring us some justice.

Murder by bureaucracy. Let's call it what it is.

Maybe China should just block all exports and imports to/from the US. Surely, no one really needs the prescriptions that they manufacture for us. I bet it would not take long for Donald to cave. They could probably extract some concessions from him.

Maybe we should deport a certain orange felon.

A special kind of genius that can bankrupt a casino multiple times. How do you fuck up a license to print money?
