My house had the cheapest garbage disposal which I quickly broke. When I went to replace it, I found that replacing them is incredibly easy and the mid-tier model (about $120) said it could handle small beef bones and peach pits. I’ve been very happy with that, and all my food waste goes in. I don’t have a lot of room for compost, but the city purports to be generating electricity from the sewage, so I hope it isn’t wasted. It also means that my trash doesn’t smell, which is nice.

One serving of peanut butter

Every day in standup

This was not a case of “I agree with you, but…”, though. “But” is perfectly appropriate here to contrast between the first statement and the second.

Perlence subrange 6-36 is good too

Are you implying that sports aren’t popular everywhere or that everywhere is a dictatorship?

The trial and error is important, so you might end up buying a bunch anyway

Shit, I never thought that might be why, but we’ve dealt with a lot of skin irritation, and our kid prefers keeping a dirty diaper over getting changed. My day is ruined.

Hmm… I admit I didn’t follow the video and who was speaking very well and didn’t notice hostility that others seem to pick up on. I’ve worked with plenty of people who turn childish when a technical discussion doesn’t go their way, and I’ve had the luxury of mostly ignoring them, I guess.

It sounded like he was asking for deeper specification than others were willing or able to provide. That’s a constant stalemate in software development. He’s right to push for better specs, but if there aren’t any then they have to work with what they’ve got.

My first response here was responding to the direct comparison of languages, which is kind of apples and oranges in this context, and I guess the languages involved aren’t even really the issue.

I think most people would agree with you, but that isn’t really the issue. Rather the question is where the threshold for rewriting in Rust vs maintaining in C lies. Rewriting in any language is costly and error-prone, so at what point do the benefits outweigh that cost and risk? For a legacy, battle-tested codebase (possibly one of the most widely tested codebases out there), the benefit is probably on the lower side.

My expectation is that a post’s score is upvotes minus downvotes, but I think it should be more like upvotes plus comments with downvotes excluded (or maybe let users filter based on upvote/downvote ratio or something). Maybe count commenters instead of comments.

You can make vegan milk at home and it’s way cheaper than cow’s milk. Oat milk is SUPER EASY: 1 cup oats/2 cups water, soak for 15 minutes, blend and strain. Others are similarly easy and there are plenty of recipes online.

My baseless opinion is that having a variety of instances with varying ethoses means that there’s a good home instance for everyone (not just the verysmart, young, white, male, liberal a la Reddit), and federation means that that variety of people are intersecting and interacting a lot more than if instances were completely separate. At the same time, it still feels like a small community, or maybe a bunch of small communities. There seems to be a lot less of the snarky clapbacks and unpopular opinions getting nuked that’s typical of other social media.

I loved the controller except for the long pull on the shoulder buttons.

Based on the synopsis at the top of the article, I’d say absolutely not a good idea.

And lawyers are pretty likely not staff at all.

I just recently watched The Matrix Resurrections, and it’s renewed my interest in the Wachowskis. There was a lot that reminded me of Sense8, and I’ve been considering a rewatch, but maybe I’ll check this out.

Not rude. Per the article, this is North Korea’s response to groups in South Korea sending balloons with propaganda leaflets and stuff (unsolicited care packages, basically) north. It seems they feel the south isn’t doing enough to prevent these.

It seems more childish than diabolical, but I would do the same probably as a last resort. Like throwing somebody’s McDonald’s bag back into their car.

Is this sarcasm? They’re TPing each other’s houses.

I’ve had that grinder for about ten years now and I bang that basket on the knockbox everyday and it’s doing okay, but I get what you mean. The hopper lid has a crack in it from falling not very hard a while ago, so I think it might just be luck of the draw as to whether one gets a fragile plastic piece.

Watch, I’m sure the basket will shatter tomorrow, now. But the good news would be that I don’t think they sell replacement parts for it anymore, so I guess I’d have to upgrade.
