I recently watched the Netflix documentary about the Titan. Stockton Rush’s sheer level of hubris is just mind blowing. Not only thinking he knew better than engineers who design submersibles for a living, but willfully disregarding a century of well established engineering standards in favor of his stupid ass ideas.
What’s really fun is hearing “oh shit” from the UPS maintenance tech followed by darkness and silence.
Ethnic Wisconsinites who are Canadian in Spirit.
Petty revenge and siphoning off taxpayer money. Two birds, one stone.

Yes. I rarely have any sync issues.
Personal finance software is tough. It’s costly to develop, even with a very limited feature set. Automatic transaction downloads are a must if you want widespread adoption and that has its own set of complications.
I still use Quicken – which doesn’t get anyone excited since it’s still a Windows (and Mac) desktop app built on an ancient codebase – but I’m a power user and have yet to find an adequate replacement. It’s not sexy but it does the job. I’m more the exception than the rule. The average user probably doesn’t need or care about the same features that I do.
Oddly enough, one of its redeeming qualities is that it runs quite well on Linux through Wine.
That’s why it’s not surprising at all that a bank didn’t bother to do that. Banks have some of the most egregious security issues.
And really shitty auditors apparently. A good one would have at least spot checked for unsecured ports.
People censoring sh*t like we’re all incapable of figuring out what the missing letter is.
Like, “What word is that guys? Oohh it must be one of those naughty words. I guess we’ll never know.”
Corporate: Spends millions working frantically to whip together a software project over two years.
Also Corporate: Kills the project and lays off the entire team two days after release when customers don’t magically flock to the new platform overnight.
The longer I do this, the more I’m convinced the “M” in MBA actually stands for “Moron”.
I’ll have you know I drive a Toyota minivan and shop at Sam’s Club because we don’t have a Costco. Much to my disappointment.
“Did you see [X] video on TikTok?”
Me: Lowers newspaper while looking somewhat confused.
White New Balances. Irrational obsession with turning off lights …which always left on for no apparent reason.
No kidding. Even if you didn’t want them, I bet you could sell them for ~$100 each to the right person. Hell, I would buy them for that. Brand new solid core 6-panel doors run $250 at Lowes. And that’s without the knob holes or hinge mortises pre-cut.
Me: “I’ll do my best but you know how hard it is to resist this.” Gestures at dad bod
Wife: “Oh, I’m well aware.”
Me: 😘
Wife: 😏… 🍆👉👌
What cooling solution do datacenters use for water cooling?
They typically don’t. The servers are air cooled and the room is conditioned with a Liebert or similar HVAC system. Liquid cooling servers is not practical or warranted for most situations.
Does it also mention his wife, Incontonentia Buttocks?
Mother of God.
IKR? It doesn’t take a genius or even an engineering degree to figure out that if you’re inside a vessel under intense pressure and that vessel is made of a bunch of fibers that are glued together, cracking sounds are no bueno.
