Why are they spending billions on this? Greed.
- Comment on Calm your tits 6 days ago:
This reminds me of a buddy I used to have. He wore jackets exactly like this and even had two little dogs. He was a Vietnam vet and did, in fact, kill a whole bunch of people during the war. Something he never forgave himself for.
One time I asked him what that was like. He thought for a minute and said, “When you have your weapon trained on someone, for a split second you have the power of God in your hands. You get to decide if that person lives or dies. Nobody should have that kind of power.”
He was a character but a good dude overall.

Remember when the Governor of Missouri tried to have a guy arrested for notifying the state of Missouri that they had a breach in one of the state websites, making peoples PII publicly visible?
That’s the kind of idiots you’re dealing with here. “We added you to a group chat by mistake and it’s all YOUR fault.”

The US is currently shooting itself in the face and Russia is embroiled in a war that it can’t actually win.
All China has to do to reap the benefits is not interrupt.

One time I came home from work and found a deer in my front yard that had been hit by a car. It was still standing but it looked awful. I seriously thought about putting it out of its misery but before I could do anything, it limped off into the woods right behind my house where it collapsed and died.
About three days later, I opened my front door and got hit in the face by the most horrible smell I have ever smelt. Imagine the smell from when you leave a meat package in the trash for a day or two. Dial that up to about 1000. Set it in the hot sun for three days and you’ll probably be pretty close. It’s so strong it stimulates your gag reflex. I have a pretty strong stomach but I thought I was going to be sick. I couldn’t go outside for a week after that because that’s how long it took the scavengers to clean up the carcass.

Take a car that’s stuck in reverse, slap a 454 Chevy big block in it. You’ll have a car that still drives the wrong way; but faster.

It’s a small sacrifice since it’s all part of the führer’s ingenious plan. Eventually some of that wealth is going to trickle down to us and it definitely won’t smell like piss …this time.
- Comment on How can I host a small api/database accessable from a phone app as cheap/easily as possible? 4 weeks ago:
Since you’re already working in C#, an ASP.Net Core backed, with whatever database you prefer, will do what you want.
You could self host it, but I wouldn’t call that easy. There are plenty of cloud providers that can integrate with your preferred git repo and really streamline the build and deployment process. I run a few applications as “Apps” on Digital Ocean. Once you get it configured properly, deployments are quick and easy.

- Comment on Hell nah brah 1 month ago:
Interesting. I guess I must not talk to people on the phone a lot because I hadn’t really experienced that much before.
- Comment on Hell nah brah 1 month ago:
One of the strangest things, to me anyway, that came out of the pandemic is this habit of texting/messaging people to ask if you can call them. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong. It’s just an interesting change in communication dynamics.
It sort of makes sense for Teams, Slack, etc. where even if the person is available, they may not be prepared to receive a call for technical reasons. But a lot of people do the same thing for phone calls.

Something that would actually help you? Lol. No. We can’t afford that.
- Comment on Self-hosted Personal Finance Suggestions 1 month ago:
Some of the features you’re looking for led me to switch to Quicken a few years ago. It’s a legacy desktop app (Quicken Online sucks) and it’s not very fast but it is still the gold standard for personal accounting software. I’ve honestly been happier with it than I was with anything else I’ve tried.
Thankfully Intuit sold it off so they can’t enshitify it anymore.
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code 1 month ago:
No. Junior Devs usually can’t code. Anyone who lacks experience in a given field usually is not proficient in that field. That’s not specific to software engineering.
The fix for this is pretty simple. It’s just one that not every senior dev is going to want to hear. You have to do the one thing that a lot of us don’t want to do: talk to people. You’ll find that if you make an effort to build rapport with the juniors and be at least as quick to point out their successes as you are to point out their failures, more often than not they will learn to trust you and come to you for guidance.

Ha! So relatable.
I’m behind on chores.
Ok, why did you have to bring that up? I said I would get to it. Stop reminding me already!
- Comment on Should I DIY this? (Electrical) 1 month ago:
Even if your BIL lives a long way away, you can always call him for advice. I’m pretty good with doing most of my own electrical work but if I have a question I just call my dad since he’s a retired master electrician. He can usually tell me what I need to know without even looking at the job.
