Republicans get C, Java, Lua, and C++; Democrats get Ada, Rust, C#, and Python; Libertarians get Zig, TCL, Julia, and Ocaml for some reason.

AutoCAD is amazing once you get all your shortcuts and settings set up just the way you like it.

100% this. I used to work at a company that sold software that mechanical engineers used all day, every day in a certain field. Our app looked like the last pic but with better alignment.

People who are competent want all the things on their screen all at once all the time. They also want keyboard shortcuts.

Some cheap ones-

Vampire survivors

Into the breach

Your only move is hustle

Portal 1 & 2; aperture science desk job

Spelunkey

Slay the spire

Enter the gungeon

Hollow Knight

I didn't call out a specific dimension on a machined part; instead I left it to the machinist to understand and figure out what needed to be done without explicitly making it clear.

That part was a 2 ton forging with two layers of explosion-bonded cladding on one side. The machinist faced all the way through a cladding layer before realizing something was off.

The replacement had a 6 month lead time.

At least 3 total. One to be a stay at home parent, one to do my day job, and one to do my side hustle. Possibly another to just learn things.

Wherever I vacation to a walkable city, I lose weight.

Europe, please let me move in 😭

A heartfelt, handwritten thank-you letter telling them they're a great teacher and how they positively impacted your life.

All we need is somebody to drive by a pressure vessel fabrication shop and get the panels zapped by a PMI gun. We'd know instantly.

What's funny is they ignored all the people that scored 95+ on the ASVAB in my high school. They knew those kids were too smart to join the military.

"No, but I sure am glad you did" with a quick wink and smile might get you their number lol.

My parents are approaching 60. I told them that the signal text message app would work a lot like iMessage if we both used it. And it did. It was great. For the other people that used signal, the experience was generally better. For other people that didn't, SMS was fine because that's how I was going to talk to them anyway.

The thing is, My parents are not going to go to more than one app to communicate with other people. Since it no longer sends and receives text messages, it doesn't work with 99% of the other people in their lives.

They own and run a pretty large business. There's no way that they're staying on more than one messaging platform. You can talk all day about what they "should" do, but at the end of the day just getting them to switch to another app was a huge lift for me. Not only did they switch back to regular SMS, I burned a lot of credibility with them on tech related stuff through no fault of my own.

Repeat this story for the 90 or so people I had converted. There was no critical mass, so adoption evaporated overnight because my social graph is not enough to provide any sort of critical mass and adoption.

I quit using signal after they stopped supporting text messaging on Android. I had my whole family using it and that just evaporated overnight 😭

If they're in California, they might have gains of over a million dollars. The exemption cuts off at $500k of total gains; anything beyond that has to have taxes paid.

So they're whining about paying taxes on a million dollar capital gain. They can go fuck themselves.

There's a difference between punishment and consequences. If you rush into battle with a foam sword and a gun but only use the sword, you're going to get wrecked because you brought the wrong equipment. Try it in BG3 and see how far you get.

You'll have to start killing their character more often. They want to do front line tactics, they can take front line damage, no softballs. Oh, 1d10 kills you in 3 hits, and the mobs chase you because you're squishy? Damn, maybe get some AC and constitution, or attack from a distance.

Octave works as a great replacement

Imo you shouldn't be on the ballot once you've aged past the median life expectancy of the general population, or would do so during your tenure. You want to be president at 82? Fine. But the median life expectancy better be in the 90s.

I know it might be hard to imagine, but your tastes aren't objective or universal; other people find things enjoyable that you detest and vice-versa.
