Maybe try closing the app and reopening?

I click the link and saw 9.99 briefly before it updates to free.

The Expanse is one of the best sci-fi shows of all time. I highly recommend it.

Yea. I see a clickbait thumbnail like this and just scroll on.

Nothing is wrong with it. It is just another games store.

TikTok has been an extremely successful propaganda outlet

Opening an app and clicking claim is a risk to your sanity? You may want to talk to someone.

Yes. It was. It still is, but it was also.

The extermination of people in Gaza is an atrocity.

Israel should pay a similar price after this as Germany did after WWII.

Perfect glasses.

Glasses that are able to change based on if you are looking at something close or far away.

Able to see close up just fine, but far away is blurry? When loooking at something close, the lenses reform to no magnification.

Now, make that into a contact lens. Glasses and people with seeing disability are now a thing of the past!

People use words to express their feelings rather than emojis.

Emojis are less serious and a comment that uses them extensively is taken much less seriously than a comment without emojis.

Genocide

1.264 trillion means:

1 trillion 264 billion. Or 1,264,000,000,000.

Today I learned. Thanks!

Instead of being unresponsive, be a time waster. Be hostile. Keep agreeing until they try to get information out of you. Is your name John but they ask for Greg? Say, yes this is Greg.

I turn these calls in to entertainment opportunities. And it may be confirmation bias but after having done this for a couple months, call volume has dropped dramatically.

Maybe this is a bad idea. But for me, it’s been fun.

My favorite so far was to keep agreeing and saying yes, then to turn on porn silently, then slowly increase the volume and ask if they can hear that. Get mad at them for making you listen to it. Keep turning up the volume until it is deafening. They will hang up.

Deflection?

You said, “ It's not like this evidence is likely to be sourced any other way.”

They said as paraphrased, “yes there is another way, letting journalists cover the topic”

And you called this deflection? You are the one not arguing in good faith.

That may be forgery or a copyright violation, but it still isn’t stealing.

Outriders and Remnant 2. Both solid games and 3p coop.

I think that’s an internet bubble phenomenon.

When I hear that movie mentioned in real life, it is always to rave reviews.

Right here, brother.

I use the right tool for the job, always. If all I need is to push a branch, then I’d rather use a UI that quickly shows me the changes in a nice diff layout. If I’m doing a pull request review and want to run it locally, I select the branch, pull, and go.

That said, when there are conflicts or tricky merges, or I want to squash a bunch of commits, anything like that, I’ll use the CLI.

It’s not about being above GitHub desktop or being an enlightened CLI user. It is about using the tool that is needed.

I’ve only been writing and releasing software for 15 years, what do I know.

That said, use whatever workflow fits you best! If that’s your hands never leaving the keyboard, rock on! If you instead write code like you’re playing an FPS, enjoy! We all do this because we like it, right? 😊
