I learned to drive in high school, but never bothered getting a license until after I graduated college and got a job, so maybe 22? I’ve commuted via train for over 20 years now though, rarely drive.

I thought “explosive diarrhea” was hyperbole, but damn.

The libs will be owned, damn the consequences!

I’ve made a risky move at work. I wear a few hats right now and I’ll be handing off one of them, a team I directly manage, to an external hire in a few months. The pressure will then be on me to do more with the other hats, at least to justify my current pay. There’s probably more opportunity to increase earnings on the path I’ve chosen, and definitely more personal growth as I’ll be leaning further away from what I’ve been doing of the better part of two decades.

Financially we’re at a point where we can FIRE so this’ll either help pad the numbers for another couple of years, or, worst case, break me out of one more year syndrome if it doesn’t work out. Feels like I’m at a fork in the road that’ll determine whether we exit chubby vs fat. Wish me luck.

Hm, I thought 68 was the speed of sex.

Fun thought experiment that I’m going to over analyze.

Near me iron seems to go for ~$180/ton at scrap yards. If we call the average pan weight 8lbs, that’s about 4k tons so scrap value on the lot is ~$720k. The question would be how likely you could sell these not as scrap and net beat the $280k spread. The scrap value per pan would be ~$0.72, so if you can sell each pan for more than a dollar you’d theoretically come out ahead, but to make it worth while you’d probably want to target $10 or more because processing, storing, and moving that many pans isn’t going to be free. Budget new pans go for $20-30, used can be lower or higher than that depending on quality and condition.

tl;dr: Depends on the condition and quality of the pans and it sounds like a lot of work but I’d say the optionality is skewed towards taking the pans if you were willing and able to put the time in to make it a business/job for yourself.

Personally I don’t have the time and I’m doing well financially, I’d take the money.

Reading through a bit it sounds like it works on Linux, not on Windows. Folks are hypothesizing it’s disabled at the ACPI level because different drivers don’t help.

In a less polarized and post truth world you’d probably be right. I fear however that the solid 36-37% maga base will never find an issue that can’t be spun or rationalized. In the magasphere this situation seems to be framed as the GOP stepping up to fight against free health care for illegal immigrants which seems divorced from reality.

Hm, but what if we just haven’t tarrifed hard enough yet?

Exactly, just needs a little motivation.

Congrats! My office is in a grudging detente with a hybrid 3-2 schedule, though it’s clear they’d like to go full RTO if they could swing it.

When asked for comment about the lawsuit, a USDA spokesperson responded with a statement: “We are approaching an inflection point for Senate Democrats. Continue to hold out for the Far-Left wing of the party or reopen the government so mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us can receive timely WIC and SNAP allotments.”

This seems like a perfectly normal thing for an ostensibly non-partisan federal agency to say. I mean I get that it is increasingly normal these days but fuck this timeline.

Wow, that’s so intuitive and user friendly! /s
