All Xeet Xeet Muthafucker! All Xeet Xeet Goddamn!!

That's sad that sadists were walking around for almost a century where no one wanted to put up with their shit

I thought it was pretty good, but maybe a little rushed in the scenes where he's putting together what the drug is doing. Also, I saw this after seeing Spring and The Endless by the same writer/ director team and I really enjoyed those. If you haven't seen them and liked Synchronic, I highly recommend both.

Agreed, but I am. Some of the specific points of the concern were not easily searchable.

Solid explanation! Thanks

Thanks, this is how I've always operated, but the person I've debated this with is so entrenched it makes me wonder if I've just been sloppy and getting lucky.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm at a point in my career where I could move up to management, or I could stay on a pure tech path and start to have limited opportunities for advancement. I've also been feeling less satisfaction for my technical work lately. I've thought about looking around at other jobs, but I've been coming to the conclusion that it would be the same anywhere, because it is ultimately for someone else and most of the time either the goal of the project or the method required to get there don't align with my own goals or interests. From the bottom looking up, there's a lot about management that doesn't excite me either, but I've been wondering if it would free me up a bit to keep hobby work fun.

I'm glad to hear you were able to feel an increase in your passion about coding after moving to management and I'm hoping it can do the same for me. I'm a little weary of becoming just another cog in the system though. I'm just hoping that I can keep my current perspective in focus so I can use that to bring compassion for my reports and keep them from being burned out as long as I can.

It'd be nice to just to screw off and make my own things, but I have bills to pay. None of my hobby project ideas are money producers and even if some of them could be, I don't know that I want to pervert them by making that a goal. I feel like that would suck out the fun of them for me and put me back in the same trap I'm already in.

I had actually never heard of the ant one before

the actual value of Prime is roughly $1000

value is different than cost. At market shipping rates, Amazon could be charging their customers more, say $1000, for Prime. But that doesn't mean it costs Amazon that much to operate it. So your statement means they are leaving money on the table, but they still very well may be making a profit off Prime. Just not as much as they could.
