I applaud the designers for continuing the design of “the real flayed ones were my fingers after trying to assemble the minis”.

Are they as bad to assemble as the old metal ones? They mostly came in three pieces: two metal claw hands, and then the rest of the miniature, because when I think of what I want when having to glue two pieces of metal together, it's 'minimal contact area'.

The president has decided to embrace the cringe within to a degree that was inadvisable.

What a sad, weird, little poop baby man.

This! People talk about these AI programs like they are intelligent, but I have yet to work through a code problem with one and not feel like I was paired with a junior engineer who won't pay attention.

A lot of code gets generated, none of it helpful. And my time gets wasted.

Especially funny when you remember the headlines from four years ago with various farm owners expressing shock that Trump was actually deporting all of their seasonal farm hands and now their crops were rotting.

Time is a circle.

Yub yub

Oh Trump’s brain farts manifested a real life Hannibal Lecter and then Trump nominates him for Secretary of Energy? Here comes a New York Times profile discussing Dr Lecter’s unorthodox dietary needs. He eats a lot of fava beans and enjoys Chianti.

Tom Daschle was disqualified for a cabinet position under Obama because of tax shenanigans, but if someone with similar allegations were one of Trump’s nominees would it even be a scandal? At least he’s never paid off a nanny to hide sexual assault!

Mainstream media grades the nominees on such a curve for Trump that as long as you clear “sex trafficking minors” and “drunk rapist” you can be treated like a completely normal nominee even if you once dumped a dead bear in Central Park and tried to stage it as a bike accident.

It’s like after the seventh blatantly unqualified sex pest gets treated like a semi normal cabinet nominee by the mainstream media, people who care go “well you’re useless” and look for media that isn’t trying to be “fair and balanced” but just honest.

Made it easy to push back on “my service would never have that error now” when I could point to the entire QA team all seeing the front end spitting out said error.

I’ve thrown a variant on that error, “I was told this should never happen.” I wanted to know how
we should handle a fail state I had seen happen, backend guy told me the update he just pushed out would never cause it, next day QA started asking me about this new error message they were seeing.

Should never happen is one of the all time best comments to see right above an error message.
