Ah floating point math. Works fine for 90% of use cases, until it doesn’t.
I got the Hyundai Kona to be a simple small barebones EV and it has done that. It’s going to have the same bells and whistles most people expect, but I did also get a physical key with it.
Had it just over a year now and love it. It’s a great car
If this is it, I never would have in a million years guessed it
Washed up yes, what is he hocking to try to cling?
UK is one of my favorite places to vacation! Enjoy your trip!
I’ve been working on my hobbies and home computer projects. None of them require additional money at this point, it’s just fun for me. We have a decent trip to a beach planned this year, and looking forward to movie nights with friends
You don’t know if those 60 lines of bash are worth something to corporate america. Any code we write has value, how much value is rarely up to us.
A few months ago we had a guy playing a side project he did where he used a model to replace clothing on people so you could try something on and see how you looked. I begged him to add a license to his repo, and he still hasn’t, because “it’s just a bit of python”. Like dude you don’t see it but you just game Nordstrom or Macy’s millions of dollars for free man! Guy didn’t see it.
So yeah. Maybe it’s just a helper script. Who cares. Adding the license is free and takes seconds, and who knows, maybe you solve a million dollar problem.

Halo is the all time best co-op shooter hands down. The lore is surprisingly deep and the story telling is top notch.
Of course I am referring to 1, 2, 3, odst, and reach.
3 and on support 4 player co-op. All are in the master chief collection. Added bonus that odst is like an unofficial firefly reunion
In the fediverse? Same as outside. It’s a solution looking for a problem. We generate our own content here, everyone is here because of the rest of the automated bots everywhere else. Look at lemmit online, it’s an instance dedicated to mirroring reddit subs for us here, but it’s a ghost town because we all pretty quickly realized it was boring interacting with bots.
A bot has to have a good purpose here. Like an auto archive bot so people click a better link, or bots like wikibot. I’m not saying AI is useless here, but I haven’t seen a good actual use case for it here yet
The meanest people I have ever known were church people. My dad left us when I was young, my mom was left a single parent. Seeking refuge in the church, we started attending regularly. In that time I felt things from others, ranging from genuine kindness all the way to pity. However, as things progressed and my mother became more involved with the church, the more people started to talk. From casual mentions, to annoyance that she would show up, to talking behind her back.
Was she super pleasant to be around? No, I think she can be awkward and has a hard time making friends - and those people picked up on that and ran with it. It wasn’t so long until she was excluded from certain events, that there were more “special” bible studies that she would her invite would be “forgotten”. She wanted so much to be included, but she didn’t fit their paradigm of… I don’t even know what.
Oh they preach of acceptance and forgiveness, of not judging, but they are some of the most hurtful people out there. I don’t know what I believe personally, but I’ll avoid going into a church for as long as I can.
Me? Yes, but I am an outlier, and it’s not because I’m doing “well”. It’s more because my parents were both horrible with money. 2 mortgages on the house, multiple car loans, mom was part of an MLM, and we were a family of 4 on a government worker’s salary. One of my dad’s complaints was that he couldn’t go out to eat once a week with coworkers because we couldn’t afford it. In addition they were horrible with credit and loans, took out as much as they could and then paid off things routinely late. I have no idea where they are now but last time I checked their credit score (for them, because they don’t know how), it was in the low 400s.
We grew up poor. Well, I hesitate to say poor because I know there are those who had it worse, and I do blame them for their choices for a good chunk of it too.

Americans have been so conditioned for the car, yet don’t realize that lacking transit is one of the largest drivers of wealth inequality.
Cities are expensive, so people move to the suburbs. Suburbs though being all single family we only built roads. Roads only have so much capacity, so traffic is terrible and there’s a limit for how large our cities can get before commutes are over an hour. Prices go up because the jobs are in the city and people have to figure out how long they can tolerate commuting.
Or, we built transit, which would create more housing further away from the city with fast connections into the city. Housing near the city is of course still worth more, but people can choose to live even farther away, so there are many less housing shortages.
Vs Portland/Vancouver WA, where Vancouver WA is a smallish town on the outskirts of Portland. They need to replace a highway bridge that’s already decaying. Portland is happy to pitch in more than their share to pay for it IF they can extend their light rail network across it to connect Vancouver to transit. Vancouver is screaming they don’t want it because homeless! Thugs! (Black people). Shooting themselves right in the foot. I’ve asked them how long it takes them to five in. “Well sometimes over an hour”. Morons.
Yes, we get that, but I think they mean that when incels call women “females” it’s cringe as hell, because we know it’s coming from a place where they don’t think of women in a healthy way, so this comes off as stooping to their level
I’ve definitely noticed an uptick in anger, but that’s happened every time Reddit has pushed users away - nice thing is that they mellow out pretty quickly here
Covid made it especially bad. Covid started five years ago. Started, like we first heard the term “Covid”
Holidays are a blur. I don’t remember individual years anymore, and every year I’m started at how quickly it became Christmas already.
Ffs we’re halfway through February already. I was just putting up the tree like 3 days ago.
They’re phasing it out, manifest v2. Blue green testing, at some point you will be forced out as well.
