- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 1 week ago:
I just don’t get all this shit. I’m a programmer and for years at my last job I did most of the interviewing for candidates and had the final say-so for whether or not we hired somebody. I could tell in a 15 minute phone call whether somebody knew what they were doing or not and could make a positive contribution to the project.

Matter/antimatter would theoretically be a lot better.

Islam probably also has some sort of prohibition against burying your dead wife in an unmarked grave on your golf course, so I think the point is moot.
- Comment on My friend Charlie is back.... 1 week ago:
No, I gave different advice. Contracting your shin muscles doesn’t relieve the calf cramp because it stretches the calf muscle. Contracting your shin muscles sends a signal to your calf muscles to relax. This is how your body prevents opposing muscles groups from contracting at the same time.

Islam limits you to 4 wives, though, which is a problem for Trump because golf courses have 18 holes.
- Comment on My friend Charlie is back.... 1 week ago:
That can trigger the muscle to contract even more, making the cramp worse. The thing to do is to contract the muscle group opposite of the muscle that is contracting, which forces the cramping muscle to relax. So for a calf cramp, try to raise your foot using the muscles on your shin.

Ads on the fucking moon are going to do it for me.
- Comment on Don't be a coward 1 week ago:
I’m a school bus driver in a good school district and I drop off one kid who then waits at a bus stop for a city bus heading for the really poor city right next to us. I know exactly what’s up and I would never say shit about it. And I also live in this district and pay the exorbitant school property tax every year, so it’s not like this doesn’t affect me.

You misspelled “camps and warehouses filled with prisoners doing the shit work for free that illegal immigrants used to do for next to nothing.”

I box trap them (they love cantaloupes) and haul them off to a neighboring town. I’m not sure how humane it is since they usually tear off their claws trying to get out of the trap. And momma hog is too smart to go in the trap, so I only get the kids.

It is a thing with some pastoralist peoples in Africa (like the Nuer, for example) that they will poke a hole in one of their cattle and drink some of its blood. A little snack-on-the-go that doesn’t kill the animal.

ITT: way too many comments.

I find it amusing how sometimes he disappears for a few months and everyone assumes he’s dead from botulism. Also funny how he still apparently lives in a room in his mom’s house despite having millions of youtube subscribers.
- Comment on YSK: The US massacred hundreds & raped children as young as 12 in one day. Only one perpetrator was convicted - later commuted by President Nixon. 1 week ago:
Robert MacNamara stated that the US killed 3-4 million civilians during the Vietnam War. Since he was the Secretary of Defense during that time, he wouldn’t have exactly benefited from exaggeration of the total.

Damn, imagine if we hadn’t depleted our soils of nutrients through unsustainable agricultural practices requiring us to pump unsustainable chemical fertilisers into the ground.
Don’t forget about poisoning our aquifers with fracking.

Also, groundhogs will fuck up your garden, and they dig tunnels and climb fences. You have to basically build a big cage around your garden, floor included.

Most likely the school bus driver was on their phone as well. I’ve seen that shit so many times.
- Comment on Soft 1 week ago:
I’m a school bus driver and my district bans the use of phones on the buses. I don’t say a fucking thing about it. It keeps the kids occupied and out of doing worse things on the bus, and it’s not like 15 minutes less screen time per day is going to make the slightest difference in their lives.

When it comes to driving a self-propelled crematorium, I’d primarily be concerned about the internal door handles.

For internal door handles?
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 2 weeks ago:
we should probably be focusing on the companies that are so quick to abandon their workers on the promise of saving a few bucks
You mean every company? I never worked for a company that did or would have done anything different.
- Comment on Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over 2 weeks ago:
most engineers don’t really like it because it’s making things harder and way less fun
This is how I felt about managing teams of junior developers and/or offshore teams. Just too much annoying work and the result was invariably shitty. The only times in my 25-year programming career that I enjoyed myself and produced work that I was proud of was when I did everything myself.

Maybe they know we’re cooking ourselves off the planet and they want to speed things up.

Meanwhile the real future was smartphones and MS was like “lol no”.
I remember having a conversation with an MS salesman whose job was to plug Windows Mobile 6.5 … after the iPhone had come out. He had that sad quaver in his voice that people get when they know their task if futile.

Apple has a universal app switcher gesture that is harder to accidentally invoke.
Try teaching your 90-year-old mother to use that fucking gesture. Lol “Apple is so intuitive”.
