Dude, should I learn COBOL?

Can’t be good for our global warming problem, amirite?

Love it when my coworkers reformat the code style, making it nigh impossible to understand what they actually changed, while greatly inflating their “contribution.”

It also blows away the git blame, making it hard to know who actually changed that one critical line of business logic 3 years ago that you need to understand before trying to fix some obscure bug.

I have one coworker who does this constantly and if you just looked at git blame, you’d think he wrote the entire code base himself.

Does it help you not get the cancer in the first place?

Also, their marketing is ADAMANT that it does not confuse fireworks with gun fire.

Kick Hungary out of the EU?

That was the moment I deleted Facebook from my phone. Deleted my account a short while later.

Right… a violation of our TnC… doesn’t matter. Maybe for the customer, not the repo owner.

Seems like the customer would be violating the TnC, not the repo owner

Noa Argamani, who was kidnapped from the Supernova Music Festival, said two other hostages were killed in Israeli airstrikes

All it took was driving the country off a cliff with Brexit. UK has the same problem with Tories that the US has with Republicans and a population of total morons lining up to vote for them.

The biggest reason I leave a page is paywalls and ads.

This is hilarious. Let’s see what else the media digs up on ol’ holier than thou Bill Ackman. Those who live in glass houses…

Look up the model number. There are some that maintain 100% capacity down to negative temps, and there are some that lose capacity as the temperature outside drops. You can look up something called a “submittal data sheet” to find out the output capacity at different temperatures.

Capacity is measured in BTUs. So, if the heat pump is a 30,000 BTU model and it’s 47 degrees outside, it may produce 30,000 BTUs. However, at 17 degrees outside, it may only produce 20,000 BTUs. At -5 F, it may only do 10,000 BTU. Other models will keep 30,000 BTUs all the way down to -15F. The trade off is they use more electricity. Checking the data sheet can help you figure out what your model is capable of.

Mitsubishi is generally regarded as the best brand and they sell a line called “hyper heat.” These maintain capacity in low temps. Other brands have similar.

You’re basically expected to produce new workers all at your own expense. And, who benefits? The children you raise become workers and contributors to the economy. So, it’s the capitalists that benefit from increased productivity and growth.

I realize there are other abstract and noble reasons to have children. But, capitalists don’t see it in those terms and there is this economic dimension to childrearing. You should be able to have children if you want them, but you should also be paid for doing so to the extent that it benefits society. I would argue that people were once paid, albeit indirectly through a spouse’s salary that was high enough to support a non-salaried adult to raise the children. Why are people now expected to both work and raise children? Why are they expected to fit this productive activity into their non-working hours as if raising children was a hobby.

Governments and companies have gotten by in the past with a combination of factors:

• Religion pressuring people into marrying and having children.

• Poverty and poor education causing people to have children they weren’t prepared for. Includes lack of access to birth control and discouraging its use.

• One income households made it feasible to raise large families when times were good. The rich have since siphoned off all economic growth while real wages have stagnated.

Having children is an unpaid job. If the government wants people to have children, it should start paying for it. Or, the wealthy will need to stop hoarding all the wealth and let regular people earn enough to support a family on one income again.

In the meantime, people should feel justified and good about not reproducing. The planet is already pushed to its breaking point. More humans will consume more resources and emit more CO2.

You just by a driving got passed soldier a Hemi!!!

You mean a backwards looking ideology doesn’t address the needs of society today and in the future?

A lot of times it does go til 10, but they cooked the eggs at 6am and stopped refilling the stations at 8am. So, you’re left with scraps and 4 hour old food.
