Authentic Texan-ness is manifested by the slogan that used to be painted on the side of Goode Company BBQ: “You might give some serious thought to thanking your lucky stars you’re in Texas.” And Kinky Friedman.

Your NM friends have better Spanish than anyone else in this thread. Meanwhile, my fellow Texans have famously bastardized “chile con carne” to refer to spicy beef stew, and would tend to specify “chili pepper” to refer to the actual fruit

You guys are familiar with how we arrived at this particular regime of mispricing risk, right? It’s preferable to the alternative. This is why banks are tightly (but imperfectly) regulated. Similar observations apply to that more fundamen

It is news to me that websites can so easily be coerced to fork over user data by private citizens prosecuting fairly petty civil actions. Is this about par for the course in European jurisprudence, or a high water mark for right to due pr

As high as engineering director candidates still need to pass a coding interview (at pretty relaxed standards), and write code to clear tasks in bootcamp (just a few). If you won't get your hands dirty, even a little, to send a signal

...or take an intermediate position on buy vs build, and _marry_ a CPA. I've regretted it a few times, but on balance I'd recommend it.

The flim-flam comes when management argues that they don't need to book a compensation expense. Happily, though, this flaw in the GAAP has long since been cured.

Selling stock doesn't impact the income statement; it is NOT revenue. It is capital raised. Your series of transactions would net to debit expense $1B, credit equity capital $1B. It would definitely fuck up your earnings, as it shou

I followed the tenets laid out in this article to provision a home router on NixOS... only difference is I used BTRFS snapshots instead of ZFS (which would have been pretty heavyweight for a packet filtering appliance). It's a pretty g

We have that Lodge cast iron wok too, but don't use it for stir-frying... very clumsy. Instead we use it for deep frying - a task for which it's better suited than any-other our other vessels. We do our stir-frying on a regular 1

"Business rugged" Toughbooks have been my Linux platform of choice for over a decade. They are fantastic; the hardware support is great. Posting this right now from one running Arch.

My choice is Panasonic Toughbooks - the "business rugged" models, not full-on military/law-enforcement tanks. They're as thick as a Tolkien book and weigh several pounds. They don't have 4K screens. If those trade

Whether Green Day is punk is debatable... probably mostly centering around whether you think punk is a musical style or a philosophy.. but I'm really just saying that it's not really debatable that the Sex Pistols were punk, since

Pretty much. Malcom McLaren's svengali ambitions notwithstanding, commercialism ain't punk. The real germ of punk rock was pretty close to "Fuck Thatcher's England and Reagan's America, and all they stand for"
