It's okay, I'll still take it.

Plain curtain. Cut a hole about 3 inches in diameter, about 30 inches from the ground. Line the inside of the hole with duct tape.

You're damn right I'm okay with it.

Developers are resentful toward AI for the same reason they resented blockchain--it becomes a buzz word that every middle manager is convinced will improve productivity, and it's forced whether it's actually helpful or not.

I work on safety-critical code. AI is useless here, but we have to "use" it to appease clueless shareholders.

A live-action Lorax. Danny DeVito is the only human, and he's wearing a Lorax costume.

I wouldn't need a case if the phone were designed with proper bevels. You literally can't set an uncased phone on a flat surface without scratching the screen or camera (which sticks out awkwardly).

And don't get me started on the screens with curved edges. Complete garbage design (why yes, I'd love to accidentally use touch gestures just by holding the device, frrrrrrt).

It entirely depends on the type of ice cream. Many brands add "softeners" that make it easier to scoop. My go-to here in Canada is Chapman's, and I've never had an issue. But we've had other kinds that were nigh-impossible.

I think mine says it's set to -18°C?

Weird looks: +200%

Strangers attempting to lick ears: +3000%

We know

I believe this is called a "stand up". That is, you're standing up your real work for an hour so a useless middle manager scrum master can feel like they're contributing.

If you don't care how it looks, and you're specifically blowing air in with the box fan, you can just use a large garbage bag to direct the air in. Mount the fan vertically facing the opening, cut open a trash bag, and attach it to the remaining three edges of the opening and your fan.

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.

Yeah, the water levels in DKC1 are pretty slick as well (Charles Cornell talks about that one too).

The DKC series also had some amazing music (especially DKC2). Overall some of my favorite games from my childhood.

Even DK64 was okay for me, though it came out at probably the best time for me to enjoy it (I think I was 11 or 12 and had lots of time to burn).

Here's a great musical analysis on Stickerbush Symphony, for anyone interested.

As far as I know, the only thing Waterfox does (differently from Firefox) is not collecting telemetry and having uBlock Origin installed by default. I haven't noticed sites breaking either (at least, any more than they did on FF).

I'm using Waterfox. Been great so far.

Imagine playing Monopoly, but all the properties are already owned by another player and the rent starts at $900.

People notice things that they are self-conscious about. Not even that they're necessarily insecure about it, but when you think about something a lot, you tend to notice it in other people as well.

So I'd say it's because your friends and family think a lot about their own appearances. Likely because they're insecure about their own appearances.

The brain does what it must to survive. We normalize things that are insane to keep us from going insane. It's... weird.
