A lot of artworks require good welds. The artistic welders at my school practiced building dr seuss looking bikes. They were pretty amazing, multiple chain drives, really tall or really long. Very impractical, but they rode them around campus anyways.

20 years ago I was getting applications from Harvard, Yale Physics PHD recipients for tenure track positions that started at $30 K a year in the middle of nowhere for a teaching, no research no phd program school. It was bad then, and worse now. Its not basket weaving, its all academic positions really. Universities have also discovered that PHDs are not necessary to teach some subjects leading to masters degrees teaching at many smaller schools instead.

Dude is out to fucking lunch. Its like laughing at an alcoholics joke about being an alcoholic. It would be funny if he wasn't baked 24/7.

The whole point of the Browser company was not to take over the browser world. It didn't get funded by people who looked at its goals and said "Yup that will be a useful addition to most people's workflows" No, they thought they could get enough uptake to get someone else to buy them or figure out something else to make money. You can not convince me that any anyone thought their previous effort was useful by any slice of the general public. Now they're pivoting to AI because, obviously they need to raise more money and thats an easy way to do that. No one thinks their new product will be successful either.

I really wanted to love it. I wrote a great application for it, that almost worked perfectly. There was a single bug I couldn't get past and eventually had to debug the Java code itself before I found the issue, and it was an easy fix! Thats pretty amazing that a hack like me could fix a programming language bug. But my boss wasn't so keen on running a solution on a hacked up tomcat server... Se la vie

Idk, the 2.7 to 3 conversion had quite a bit of nonsense.

Well, your describing the way the US housing market worked pre 2020. Much harder for even higher middle income people to afford houses in many places. But otherwise on point.

Dumb shit. Yes it fucking was the republicans that wanted a cheap labor source to fill out the meat packing plants in Iowa, Arkansas and harvest the produce no one else would. Yes its the republicans that want to cut any funding that would allow the poor to make themselves better. Yes its the republicans that are making abortion illegal that forces women into single motherhood against their will, keeping them and their children impoverished.

Republicans created this awful incentive for them to come and then abuse the fuck out of them. Democrats just want their terrible lives to be less terrible for everyone. God forbid we help people not live terrible lives.

Well, to be honest there are smart rich folk and dumb rich folk the difference is timing.

The smart ones started the company and funded it early, oversaw its growth and cached out on the hype they had built up. The dumb ones are the ones that purchased it from them.

I'm not rich, but I think I'm very naive as the OP here is. I see an idea and evaluate it based on its long term success. That does not matter if you are not investing in the long term and have some control over its short term fate. This is what I often miss, but honestly I can't get that control needed to invest in bad long term ideas. Anyone taking my money telling me they can do that for me, is going to prioritize their own needs before mine and try to leave me with the bag after the scam, er I mean investment, opportunity comes to meet with market relatize.

Yeah, I'm in the same category. Same experiences, however... I don't think its just due to this gene, at least not completely. My sleep is best in approximately 2.5 to 3 hour blocks. So 2.5 -3 hours is fine, 5-6 is fine, but not four not 7. I think it has something to do with the sleep cycle. If I wake up during rem or something that's what makes me groggy.

DHH is an monkey brained twittling. He knows nothing of monopolies or healthy markets.

The fuck they are. I have never met any Republican that was for limiting donations. I'm sure they are out there, but from the moment of the supreme court decision I've only heard democrats complain.

Basically there are many people myself included that started posting less as the friend group grew. Political divisions and or insane dumb anti science discussions erupted everywhere. Janice, I bought girl scout cookies from your daughter, I don't care that you're cousin's neighbor is a barista for someone who works in finance, and they agree that you're dumb ass take on tariffs is correct. You're not smart enough to argue with. You're not even wrong.

Honestly, the brain rot is absurd. By slavery you mean what exactly? That people will have to treat each other with kindness, you can't shit on trans people without getting in trouble? What? If you are against governmental control of speech, well trump seems to be firing people based on their expression of free speech. Our universities are being gutted for their free speech policies, and we're aggressively trying to export those legal residents that speak out against genocide by isreal or against our government. Obviously the next time someone says their pro free speech when trying to defend something abhorrent, if they aren't speaking up now, I don't believe then.
