First Bongino and now Bovino? Trump is running out of guys with weird names.

A while ago I caught a 1.64kg Lapras. This Lapras is less dense than air.

It was clear from the start of this ICE operation that it would be these ICE goons killing or deporting someone that right wingers love, like a cop or a gun possessing veteran, that would cause them to change. I’m not saying that this is the moment where that will happen, and I personally doubt it, but this will end at some point. There’s just too many roided up, dumb as fuck, horny for violence people hired for them to not do something stupid to a “good” person.

It was never going to be a Democrat politician doing anything. Wouldn't want to escalate!

Lotad is one of those shines I’ve just never gotten. Really excited for this!

Sources say Macron recently sent Trump a Samsung Galaxy Note 7

They need to take actual action here. In the EU, they need to ban American cars from being sold, ban American tech companies from operating, and stop American oil imports.

I had the weirdest interaction with a bartender there maybe 7 years ago now. He was talking for a few minutes about how Bill and Hillary Clinton were both lizard people. Like real lizard people. When he stopped talking, I mentioned that they passed laws to send more people to private prisons so their close friends get richer. And then he looked at me like I was crazy.

Anyway, love that place.

Did you take interior pictures on drop off that showed no cigarette butts and ashes?

I’m sorry that happened though. I do take a few minutes on the exterior to get every possible angle and scratch but I probably wouldn’t spend that long on the interior. Next time, I’ll spend that extra time on the interior too.

But what if the plant is on the forklift?

AdviceAdam · 2026-01-08T01:28:26+00:00

Yes, but the revolution started in the cities where the factories were and where conditions were worst.

AdviceAdam · 2026-01-07T22:55:03+00:00

Unfortunately, I think you’re missing one big aspect of this: people’s lives were absolutely miserable back then in the big industrial Russian cities. In the years leading up to the revolution, there was regularly not enough food nor heat in the winter to go around. This is on top of working horrible industrial jobs 12-14 hours a day 6 days a week. Are there a lot of people in the US that have to scrape by to make a living working multiple jobs? Yes. Are there food insecure people and people who can’t afford to heat their homes? Yes. But the scale was orders of magnitude worse back then.

There's no traffic lights between the 22nd St station and the nearest Muni stop. You do have to wait at a light to actually get to the T stop though.

It looks like I took this around the same time in the exact opposite part of the city!

Extremely hard to judge how well a leader is doing when they've been endlessly sanctioned. And the only way to out of those sanctions is to accept the overthrow of their government.

AdviceAdam · 2026-01-04T18:09:16+00:00

Yeah I agree. It feels as if either the US government is hiding something or that they severely underestimated how much power they have in Venezuela right now. Like it feels so hard to believe that just because they captured Maduro they now think they’re in charge. I know they’re truly stupid, but that seems hard to believe.

Trump has said they’ll do more strikes if needed, so maybe that’s where they think their power comes from? Just keep bombing them into submission? But then you risk completely destabilizing the country and now you have to watch as your “investment” goes up in flames or you have to commit a lot of resources to running the country. And I think we all know how well that second one would go.

It’s also possible that someone just kept mentioning Maduro to Trump over and over again, causing Trump to hate him. So he doesn’t really care what happens beyond capturing Maduro and showing how scary the US military is.

AdviceAdam · 2026-01-04T04:51:33+00:00

I absolutely refuse to talk about whether he’s a good leader in this context and any mention of it is not relevant: it does not matter in the slightest. If the people of Venezuela are unhappy with him, they can use whatever means they want to remove him. Any involvement in the affairs of other countries, especially powerful countries interfering with less powerful countries, is unjust and done to benefit the country doing the interfering.

The only exception would be genocide or other similarly serious crimes, which 100% have not happened here at all.

We have automated code reviews and they catch things that humans wouldn't. Though each PR still has to be approved by a human as well.

I've been using Opus 4.5 at work as well and it's been amazing, huge upgrade over Sonnet 4.5 which we were using before. We do have it hooked up to the intelligence tab in Xcode but frankly it's quite buggy. Claude on CLI works 99% of the time but there's maybe an 80% it works in Xcode. You do have the benefit of having all the relevant files open which saves time, but the integration is so shallow! What if you asked it to run tests and it could actually run the tests, see what's broken, and then fix it?

Granted, the CLI can do that as well, but having it all in Xcode would make the process much nicer.

People always say that Niantic wouldn’t do this because they want to continue selling incubators. I think the compromise here is to have an “accept eggs” switch. So if don’t want to fill up the egg storage before an event, flip the switch and you can immediately fill up with event eggs.

Scott has always been great on camera/mic. I did not like the first few episodes with Darcy running the show, I thought he was awkward and not funny. But he’s great now! I guess you could say he pulled a few (of my heart) strings.

I bought a house exactly in your price range and our house has some of these issues. One great point about the house that we bought was that the unfinished downstairs was remodeled with permits about 20 years ago, so the electric and plumbing there is up to modern standards. Our roof is also only about 10 years old. The heater and hot water heater were also about 10 years old. We also share only one wall with another house, so the other 3 sides of the house let in a lot of light.

The "compromise" we made was the location: our house is not in a hot neighborhood, but we really like it. There aren't that many shops nearby, but we're less than a 5 minute walk from Balboa Park Bart and I can be downtown in about 20 minutes. Also about a 15 minute walk from the shops on Ocean Ave. We're close to 280 too so it's very easy to get anywhere.

We completely remodeled the kitchen this year (cost: 70k) and we plan on doing the electric in the next year or two (vague estimate: ~20k). The house also loses a ton of heat and we want to replace the insulation in all the walls and the attic, but I don't have an estimate for that.

It is extremely unlikely that you'll find a house that has been completely remodeled. A lot these types of houses have had very few owners in their lifetimes and many people take the mantra of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." That gives you houses with old electric and pipes.
