"Mirage" is being generous. More like pure fiction.

Take a car that's stuck in reverse, slap a 454 Chevy big block in it. You'll have a car that still drives the wrong way; but faster.

In posts on X following the incident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk called the incidents “terrorism” and said the company “just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks.”

OK buddy.

I can do one thing every day and check it off, as long as it is on a list.

Always good to see a fellow "relentless box checker."

I totally get this. We have to figure out what we can and can't control. I decided, a long time ago, that I did not want to be the kind of father that my father was. Thankfully, I was able to let go of the anger that I was brought up with. I'm far from perfect but I decided the cycle of abuse would end with me and I ended it.

I still can't remember what I was about to do or where I put something 90% of the time. I wish that weren't the case. I wish my stupid pinball machine of a brain worked like a normal one. It doesnt. That's outside my control.

But, I was able to change something that really mattered by dealing with something I could control.

Bet you $1,000 the credentials are stored in plain text.

We're talking about a guy whose business accumen is so poor he managed to run multiple casinos into the ground. His "successful businessman" schtick has always been propped up by a mountain of debt and crime. If he had so much as two brain cells to rub together, he would have stuck with Ivana because she was the only member of the Trump family to have even a shred of sense.

My tired brain read your comment as "shitpost economy" and somehow that still made sense to me.

Well, there was an attempt but unfortunately he wasn't a very good shot.

Personally, I prefer Coors Light.

Oh, a wise guy, eh?

My first thought when reading the OP was "Who the hell touches anything on a Friday evening? That sounds like a good way to end up working the entire weekend."

Front page?

Nearly every time I ask ChatGPT a question about a well established tech stack, it's responses are erroneous to the point of being useless. It frequently provides examples using fabricated, non-existent functionality and the code samples are awful.

What's the point in getting AI to write code that I'm just going to have to completely rewrite?

[Some]Americans: Vote for Donald Trump because they're upset about the high cost of living

Trump: Does everything in his power to increase the cost of ...everything

Jubilation T. Cornpone is the name of a Confederate general from an old comic strip called Lil' Abner. In the story line, he's kind of like a local "hero" who was famous for his incompetence.

So, my death will most likely be from some outlandish yet predictable, self-inflicted blunder. Like Wyle E. Coyote sawing through the edge of the cliff he happens to be standing on.

There is truth in the expression, "Success is a lot of small decisions stacked on top of one another."

It can be hard for us to embrace because it often doesn't provide the immediate reward sensation that we crave and don't get enough of. That said, if you can find a way to focus on one area of improvement at a time, your chances of success are much higher and it will help keep you from feeling overwhelmed by your larger goals.

The closest I've ever come to "fear" of an insect was the day I discovered "Tarantula Hawks". Imagine a giant purple, orange-winged wasp dragging a very large tarantula across the ground; like Tony Soprano disposing of a body. Whose only reaction, upon noticing my startled gaze, was to continue dragging it's victim, completely unphased, while looking at me like, "What? You want to take a picture or something?"

"I'll have you know that fluffy is part Pomeranian. Can't you tell from the constant, loud [yet deep throated] yipping?"
