It’s actually O’Tails. He dropped it as he passed through Ellis Island to sound less Irish to avoid anti-irish sentiment in America at that time.

At this point. I wouldn’t be surprised if we found our Cracker Barrel was outrage farming, paid the botner to manufacture it for them so they could change it back and reap the boost from conservatives.

If you can’t make a joke that does offend people, it’s a skill issue. Turns out, you actually aren’t funny you are just a bully.
- Comment on Intelligent Design 1 month ago:
The Christian religion regards God as infallible. So if his designs aren’t perfect either we weren’t designed by him or he isn’t infallible, which breaks Christian doctrine.

- Comment on Why LLMs can't really build software 1 month ago:
I’ve only found two effective uses for them. Every time I tried them otherwise they fell flat and took me longer that it would have to write the code myself.
The first was a greenfield personal project where I let code quality wane since I was the only person maintaining it, and wanted to test LLMs. The other was to write highly repeative data tests where the model can simply type faster than me.
Anything that requires writing code that needs to be maintained by multiple people or systems older than 2 years, it has fallen completely flat. In cases like that I spend more time telling the LLM it is doing it wrong, it would have taken me less time to write the code in the first place. In 95% of cases, I am still faster than an LLM at solving a problem and writing the code.

Game pass might be the best deal in gaming, but you are selling your soul to the devil for it. It will ultimately harm gaming, especially developers long term. We should reject game pass.
