I don’t know if I’d trust any of the text around it until we see more … the picture doesn’t seem like it matches at all.

I mean, you can downvote me but the text seems utterly ridiculous. If it’s real then you guys are right, but it certainly doesn’t seem like a believable story.

I don’t think we could have made the progress with smoking in the US now like we did back then. Would have turned into a partisan issue about freedoms and all that.

There’s something really satisfying about running a script that you know would save time. Even if the overall time is probably a negative.

I wrote a script that would log me into our AWS EKS stuff. I typically would have to copy these 7 lines and look up which cluster version I’d need. One of my lines just pulls all the clusters and I use fzf to select the cluster I wanted. Takes away all the pain and makes me feel smug. Love it.

It’s important to BE Agile than DO Agile.

Yeah, but I think apparently the tests that “could” have caught it relied on mocks which basically rendered it useless in those cases.

Nah man, I minify it so it’s one line…

wait how many files am I loading again? wait, 6000? nuts.

Annoying thing is the phone system they use to divert your call. It feels almost intentional to get us not to speak to a representative.

I bought a nonstick wok and my friends kept using steel wool and chipping it and I kept freaking out on them about it. I’m like STOP IT, I’d rather it be dirty than this!

They used to make fun of me freaking out about it.

I feel a bit vindicated with my freak outs now.

I loved this movie. I’m not gonna change my mind!

I’m also not gonna watch it again any time soon …

Go for a walk in the mornings if a run is too daunting. Gradually go up.

A problem I had is I’m too dedicated to some things and will run a lot and then injure myself by going too often or beyond what my body is capable of instead of ramping up in a healthy way. Then I wind up doing nothing again due to injury.

Yeah, a lot of true crime involves grisly stuff and sometimes violent towards women that I sometimes need things packaged up nicer to get through an entire video.

It’s great but I’ve had greater sensitivity in my finger tips after trying to get used to it. Then typing hurt so I had to switch to a trackball and just regular vertical mouse. I miss the gestures for virtual desktops.

Crash Course too!

Phind.com is pretty good for programming stuff, it’s AI but it cites it’s sources.

Lived in London for twenty years and I’ve only heard it annual or if you’re a contractor we talk daily rate.

I’m too tired to look it up, but I remember someone saying that resilience or grit was one of the best indicators of success. Someone replied that actually the best indicator of success is if you came from wealth.

It probably sounds silly but I quite enjoy not memorizing different names for days of the weeks and months like when I was learning french … Lundi, Mardi …

Nice to be like 星期一，星期二，星期三 … for week days and 一月，二月，三月… for months.

Still high relative to the average but nowhere near their American counterparts.

I went vegetarian for a bit. I was never vocal about it. I just skipped ordering meat from the menu and asked for veggie options from the waiter. I was surprised the amount of people that gave me shit for it. It was like, “you know animals eat other animals right?” I used to respond with: “yes, but I want to do it for ecological reasons because factory farming is destroying our environment”. I remember getting short with people after a short period of time and started saying: “I graduated from university, what do you think?”

Most of my vegan friends are so nice. Their partners eat meat and they let them live.

Very rarely will you get a “vegan gainz” type person that laughs at people that die or have cancer because they’ve eaten meat. Those type of people are completely repulsive but they’re rarely the people I’ve encountered that are vegans.

I do it in my slides at my workplace. I love hearing the groans when I make a bad joke. I’m not sure why.
