  • Why would you presume that? Maybe they’re suffering and trying to raise awareness.

  • Maybe but as long as old people vote more reliably than young people, everything else will break before that happens.

  • I’ve had 2 kids since getting vaccinated. It is not effective birth control.

  • The Intellij plugin ecosystem is pretty good. Granted my day job is 80% Java/Kotlin but I also need python and ruby and go and the plug-ins have never let me down. I don’t have pycharm or Ruby Mine or Goland installed.

    The license also explicitly lets you use your work license for personal stuff or your personal license for work stuff. The only difference is who pays. You also don’t need a license to use the community edition.

    It’s also pretty good at CSV and markdown files. I might be biased because I spend probably 60 hours a week using Intellij but I don’t find any of your points against it to be accurate.

  • I’ve been really confused at why people hate HMOs. My company has two options and the non-HMO is way more expensive. The only downside to the HMO seems to be very strict rules about out of network coverage but all our doctors take it so it’s not really an issue. I’ve also never needed a referral and they’ve never gotten in my way on aging, at least so far. But the hate makes sense if they used to be worse. I’ve only had a job with insurance for like 5 years.

  • I’ve always wanted a drill press even though I have no real practical need for one. They are fun.

  • This is the way if you never want to feel like anything is windowsy

  • Nothing really. Kate does a lot of stuff. If you’re not a software developer, it doesn’t really matter. Different text editors have differing levels of support for various programming languages and some people like all the key bindings so they don’t have to take their hands off the mouse.

    But if you’re just editing plain text and you’re not a keyboard only kind of user, it doesn’t really matter.

  • Of course it’s not at all surprising but it’s still particularly egregious and should be called out.

  • There’s a story every couple years that the FDA has banned them. But I guess I never see the follow up where it doesn’t work.

  • I guess to some extent. I have a bunch of accounts across instances and sh.itjust.works is the only one that didn’t have excessive down time or other problems when I first came over so I kept using this account. I haven’t touched the other ones in a while.

    So I definitely appreciate them living up to their name. I wouldn’t leave without a good reason. But if it started being down all the time I would probably leave. I guess that’s pretty soft loyalty.

  • Speaker is usually end game. For politicians who want it, that’s where their career peaks. Party leaders pretty much always end up unpopular. That’s why Paul Ryan was reluctant to do it and now his career is tanked. John Boehner is a full time lobbyist now. Pelosi will probably never leave Congress.

    But no one has ever wanted to be speaker more than Kev. He’s not really smart or popular enough to get any higher anyway. The fact that such a dim witted sad sack got as high as he did is a miracle by itself.

  • And one of the more likely scenarios is the non-freedom caucus GOP cuts a deal with Democrats to neuter freedom caucus’ power.

  • Anecdotal but all of the Catholics I know have either converted to the episcopal church or they just never go to mass or talk about it but say they’re catholic so grandma doesn’t get sad. You go to mass, and there are no young people whatsoever. I don’t have hard data to back this up but it seems like the Catholic Church in the US could just collapse before a significant schism reaches us.

  • I’ve had a bunch of jobs using Java and my current place switched entirely to kotlin. It’s so nice. I don’t think I could go back.

  • I did eventually quit permanently and I did have more money to buy cool shit

  • I quit smoking and saved the money every day until I had enough to buy a TV. Would have been a good way to incentivize myself to quit smoking and not crazy but I started smoking again immediately after buying the TV.

  • The other side of the argument is how can you get away with exploiting your workers if they have the option of striking comfortably?
