As you wish

Mountain valleys are nature’s halfpipes writ large.

Platnet and iNaturalist are pretty good for plant identification as well, I use them all the time to find out what’s volunteering in my garden. Just looked them up and it turns out iNaturalist is by Seek.

Also a reference to Trump mistakenly calling Tim Cook “Tim Apple”.

I find that the majority of the time all that is needed is to take my foot off the accelerator. Sometimes it seems like I’m the only driver on the road that is aware you don’t have to accelerate until you brake if you just manage your speed accelerating and coasting.

It’s 90 miles from Seattle to Mount Ranier and it absolutely dominates the horizon.

If they don’t remove presidential immunity during the next president’s term in office we’ll be sitting on a time bomb of WHEN, not IF, a president uses that immunity to destroy our democracy.

I mean, I know we’re probably all well aware that this is exactly why the immunity ruling was made and it makes it all the more dire that it be rectified and codified in unambiguously worded law as soon as possible.

Your criticism is so fetch.

Martin Shkreli is the scumbag’s name you’re looking for.

From wikipedia: He was convicted of financial crimes for which he was sentenced to seven years in federal prison, being released on parole after roughly six and a half years in 2022, and was fined over 70 million dollars

I could maybe see people using it professionally for $44 a month. I don’t see them being successful marketing to the casual, curious, and hobbyists for 3x a streaming subscription.

oi look at the brain on this one!

I was once in a similar position: company merger and they decided to move support offshore. We got 6 months lead notice and generous severance paid out as long as we stayed to the end. Fast forward a year and they took 85% customer approval to 13%. We got hired back at 1.5x our old pay rate, so not quite the 3x you mentioned. Hoping this works out similar for you in the end.

Prices on all cars were crazy high, not just EVs.

Were? They suddenly became sensibly priced? Guess I wasn’t paying attention.

Then they get to suffer the consequences when shit like this happens

Oh, they are.

I’d be surprised if a data center didn’t.

Then you’d be surprised.

More than that: it’s an IT security and infrastructure admin issue. How was this 3rd party software update allowed to go out to so many systems to break them all at once with no one testing it?

Crowdstrike did the same to Linux servers previously.
