I love Nintendo. I’ve bought every single one of their consoles. I am skipping the Switch 2 though.

I feel like giving someone a Switch 2 is a bit like a white elephant. I can’t say that I’m a fan of what’s happening lately. It’s a shame because the industry is where it is because of them. It’s a shame they can’t treat their customers a little better.

This Futurama joke makes more sense now: https://youtube.com/watch?v=qAur04gWg3s

Especially given that it’s easier to fix this planet than to terraform the Moon or Mars.

If you’ve never seen Michael Hanake movies then it’s hard to describe. It’s not like horror like any of the others just getting us to confront things were uncomfortable with.

It’s an experience, it’s kinda horror but not really. Stars Antonio Banderas.

Ah you’re right, he caucuses with them and stuff but he’s an independent, you’re right.

I would like to think that Bernie Sanders is one of those people.

Republicans have a propaganda network back then to fight against Obamacare (which isn’t even Medicare for all). It was really surprising how much the Republicans fought back given the zeitgeist was going the other way with Michael Moore and all that. The whole “death panel” stuff took the air out of the room and Republicans were going on non-stop about how it was the greatest injustice to all of America. It was wild.

Also, if you look at those that benefit from Obamacare and the fact that they’re losing it. They still hate that it’s associated at all with the Dems. It’s weird.

I skimmed it but anyone that’s been or going to go to these places call me if they still ask for a tip :P

It’s sad that I think a Republican representative would be worse.

I honestly like “milk toast” over milquetoast.

I always thought of it being so plain or bland having it made sense. Rather than a reference to a 1920s comic character.

Also, it doesn’t really fit but a coworker uses the phrase

“we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it”

This is more of a fix of two phrases which is we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it and don’t burn your bridges.

Driven by Nazis.

Unprepared for China.

Hated by Canadians.

Ugly on the inside.

Riddled with debt.

No one’s really buying it.

what’s the skin and cover brand/model that I put bought?

I knew some bad devs that didn’t have CS degrees. They joined because they thought the money would be good and the companies wanted to reduce labour costs.

It’s really hard to explain to someone what loops are that doesn’t get it.

However some of the “worst” devs that I’ve worked with aren’t incompetent coders. They’re good “coders” that are fucking shit to work with. They refuse to fix their own bugs, blame you for their mistakes, ignore your feedback and management fucking loves them and gives them carte blanche. I’m talking over ten years ago but we implemented some cache system who refused to publish their docs online to “strengthen” relationships with their customers. Anyways, the dude implements it, doesn’t document anything (much like the product itself). Days past after implementation and I see what looks like a cache bug and I say, “Sergii, can we look at this together?” His reply? “No, I’m sick of looking at it” … I go to the manager and he says, “yeah I get what he means, I’d not wanna looks at it either” … great.

Just wanted you to know that I just learned what litote is, thanks to you.

and robot dogs!

Apropos of nothing. I was dying for a piss at Piccadilly Circus in London late at night and I saw a public toilet entrance. I approached it and this random bloke was standing there asking I’d I wanted a blowjob for a tenner. I said, no thanks. Then he gave me a look, and said I’m not going to be doing it! I still said, yeah but no thanks still. He then said, fine, £5. I was like, I’m not looking for a discount here buddy.

Anyways, I walked away and had to hold it till I got to the station. I assume he had mates or something at the toilets that were gonna mug me or something when I got in.

I agree with in principle but I don’t think Dave Chappelle is the example that you’re looking for

My friends love them. It’s more like a laptop than a tablet and they love using the touchscreen as apart of their PC experience. Battery life needs work, at least the Intel ones that they were using.

I have yet to convert them to Linux. I’m working on it though.

Yeah that makes sense given the language. So it’ll be a fatter binary than typical for what’s needed.

I heard Java can compile down to native binaries now. I interviewed someone that told me, I haven’t written a line of Java in 15 years.
