At around the same age, also in a gym class, I had a teacher who would pronounce "sit" as "set". I had no idea what to do when he told us all to "set".

"I was just following orders" is never a valid excuse. If a job is immoral, then it is immoral to perform the job. If someone gropes a frightened child's genitals, that is an act of evil even if they were ordered to do it by

Please define "required". Are FBI agents actually going to drag them out of their homes and have them arraigned on criminal charges if they don't show up for work, or will they just be fired/reprimanded/put on a PIP

Honestly, I'm all out of empathy for people who grope crying, frightened children by their genitals, people who trigger sexual assault survivors, and people who treat transgender individuals as less than human. TSA agents do all of the

That phrase particularly bothers me because in reality, the queers are likely to be techies. It's pretty widely known with in the transgender community that trans women are overwhelmingly more likely to be software engineers than hav

It has nothing to do with waiting for tables and everything to do with the food being both more expensive and less tasty than the kind of food you get from holes in the wall. Honestly, I'd even take an everyday American Chinese restaur

TBH, reading pretty much your entire post reminds me why I love living in Dallas and am dead set against ever moving to SF or SV (and if I ever had to move, it would be to Vegas). > SF is cold! (yes, this coming from a canadian) It'

Would one of those reports tell me if a car has ever been smoked in? I quit five years ago, and ever since then I've been extremely sensitive to cigarette smoke to the point where sitting in a car that people have smoked in before ma

As a pedestrian, I would be happier if cars could only turn right on red. I have nearly been run over multiple times by some jackass who doesn't look where he's going making a right turn when I have a walk signal.

And they don't have any in my state. Well, almost any. Searching 2019 models only, there are exactly _two_ in 250 miles. A Jeep Cherokee and a Corvette Grand Sport.

Carmax still only sells used cars, don't they? I want a no-haggle dealer for new cars, especially if they sell economy cars like the Nissan Versa and Chevrolet Spark.

It's a shame that more dealerships aren't like this. The traditional car dealership needs to go away. While companies like Carvana are great, the vast majority of car dealers are just engaging in rent-seeking behavior. These deale

Well, I learned three things today: - Sixels exist - Konsole doesn't support them. - I don't have xterm installed. After installing xterm and trying this out, I'm pretty impressed. Though not impressed enough to stop using Ko

Back when I worked at an NLP company, my boss used to say that he was "morally opposed to CSV". When sharing tabular data in text format, he always preferred TSV because commas were everywhere in the material we were working with,

Well, the big problem is that most craft skills weren't difficulty-based. That is, you had a fixed chance to craft anything based on your skill, each attempt made the same exact progress towards improving your skill, and skullcaps us

Why not both? Make the raw data available for those of use who want to write machine-parsing algorithms, and also make it available in human-readable and easily digestible form for the broader public.

Japanese customers, too. Back in the day, there was a gentleman's agreement among Japanese automakers to limit power output of JDM cars to 276 hp. In reality, Japanese performance cars were all spectacularly underrated. Your "276

If you live in a one-party state, secretly record them and then if Oracle threatens to sue, show them the recording and remind them of promissory estoppel. (IANAL!)

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: the DMCA does more to protect the little guy than it does to protect big companies. If you're a big company, and you find that someone is infringing on your copyright, you've

Honestly, if a project is so blinded by zealotry that even a non-copyleft license like Apache 2.0 isn't free enough, then I don't see any reason to engage with them in any form.

But there is one key difference: in a rural area in a blue state, you at least have the protection of state law. If you get discriminated against for being gay, you can sue. You don't have to jump through hoops for birth control or abo

Ultimately, if you're going to do it, do it the way TI did. Texas Instruments set up their headquarters next to Richardson, TX. When they realized there weren't enough engineers in the area, the TI founders started their own unive
