They’re getting used to the taste for when the only thing that’s safe to eat is boiled shoe leather because the FDA and the USDA have been completely eliminated.

“Nice try… FBI”

“per my last email” = you’ve critically failed your reading comprehension check and I’m real tired of holding your hand on this, which is why I’ve cc’d your supervisor.

We’re semi-rural (multi acre lots often with houses set almost at the back of lots), this was my first Halloween out here, I was following the kids with a car cause it was cold and snowy. But apparently the other parents in the neighborhood all hang out and set up a flatbed trailer with a fire pit, lawn chairs, and beer just being hauled around by a UTV. I need to learn how to make friends as an adult.

Mmmm Republicans giving us repression?

Don’t forget Louisiana… My wife’s favorite.

I’ve always had to drug test exactly once for my jobs. I feel that it’s probably different for retail workers.

Travel agent saved my ass about 10 years ago when my connecting flight was delayed in air while I was on it. Completely missed the final leg of my journey because of a storm. Middle of the night and she helped me switch everything over and rent a car to drive the rest of the way and even got me upgraded to a more fun one. This was when I was going to a job interview and flying in the night before.

Neat, how long till we find out they did something insane like all use the same key or are all running a web server that allows access to the gas and brakes directly without authentication?

Edit: to be clear, no issue with the goal of more electric vehicles. But Kia is having some real deep seated quality issues the last… 13 years according to my insurance agent. They won’t even touch a Kia without factory installed push button ignition since 2011. Then there’s the whole “we’re leaking all your data and access to your car thing”

Not only does this bullshit backfire spectacularly sometimes resulting in our current political climate. It also results in the “not frothing at the mouth” style of reactionaries to flee to the only other viable alternative, dragging the Overton window further right.

At best this asshole is a moron, accidentally damaging the people he thinks he’s trying to help. At worst this asshole is an asshole who’s fine with dragging the country further into a right-wing shit hole because his team wins now and he gets his treats no matter what.

Might be. I remember them being marketed as “no return rentals”

I startled my dogs laughing at that last bit.

Last time I dealt with Matlab much was like fifteen years ago when I was helping some people using it for quick interpretation of data. We just kept finding bugs that caused calculation errors (which they fixed pretty quickly TBF) and it was so much slower than any other general programming language we tried. It could be way better now, I wouldn’t know, I haven’t had call to use it since… A circuit simulation class?

In all reality it’s fine for what it does, just like every other language. It’s another tool in the box that’s most useful for a certain set of problems.

Matlab shouldn’t, in my opinion, be used to construct a GUI, or generally be used for any sort of production code. Perfectly fine as a research tool though.

But I digress, my overall point is a meaningless semantic joke. The only people who will get bent out of shape about splitting hairs between “scripting” and “programming” are all people who belong in this community.

TigerDirect eventually acquired the rights for the Circuit City name, years after the stores closed. They were great for awhile, it was just weird that they tried to revive the brand.

I bought my first PC parts at CompUSA, which… I don’t think I’ve seen for a very long time lol. Definitely used TigerDirect when I was in college though.

Oh it shouldn’t, seeing as how it’s a scripting language and not actually for programming lol

Unregulated capitalism destroys everything it touches, including itself.

Oh that was wild too, those color changing DVDs.

TigerDirect

Just pull the trigger, we both know how this ends.

Clearly witchcraft. Spells to make the kids gay. Definitely not a decorative method of adding texture.
