Sometimes I make drinks. Often I make ill-advised statements. I also write code and often fail at parenting good. I also make noise with ukuleles.
I'm jealous. They are fantastic live. I think the best illustration of that was when I saw them open for U2 at the LA Coliseum and the entire crowd was WAY more into their performance

There's also the very obvious hiding of the ball with the constant pushing along with insisting that there are no penalties for not using the tools while also insisting that you MUST use them because "we have data that show you're more productive with them and no you can't see that data"

This giant push for engineers to use AI is becoming pervasive in the industry. Every single 1:1 with my boss has him asking me if I'm using AI tools or how I'm using them or just the random, "please make sure you're using AI tools"

It's honestly getting creepy/annoying

We're not supposed to get it.

My 6yo loves to randomly start singing "6-7 something Ke-vin" and so on.

My 9yo despises it because he likes it so much, so I asked her about it and her explanation was, "It's annoying because it doesn't mean anything. It's just a stupid meme and he WON'T. STOP. DOING. IT."

I feel like legal statements telling a judge that their understanding of their own ruling is incorrect is part of why so many laypeople don't trust lawyers.

I agree that pecan is always good and fruit pies are better when made at home (but I don't have an "ONLY" at home rule).

And it's definitely best to not eat the pumpkin pie after dinner. Or before it. Or during. Just put it in the trash.
