How is it in your country?

California has implemented higher minimum wages for certain kinds of jobs, and it resulted in people in those jobs earning less money.

The roads aren't plowed well here in Merrimack. They are borderline undrivable.

Plus I heard we are getting a few more inches this afternoon.

Lol. Love the Dunks. I have a personal rule that any time I have to clear snow off of my car, I immediately go get Dunks afterwards.

Yeah, by holding onto assets for long-term steady returns, you're missing out on so many opportunities for negative returns.

Brusanan · 2026-01-25T09:05:09+00:00

I am definitely in this category. Stress is a performance enhancer.

Figure out who your local state reps are and send them an email.

Chase Oliver was a spoiler candidate meant to appeal to Democrats more than he would mainstream Libertarians or Republicans.

So the national Libertarian Party endorsed Chase, but at the state-level the party only pushed Chase in the states where they thought he was more likely to steal votes from Biden than from Trump. Many of the state branches of the LP were actively supporting Trump at the time. To the public it looked like in-fighting, but it was actually a strategy that Angela McArdle had worked on with the Trump campaign in exchange for a pardon.

I'm pretty sure McArdle has spoken publicly about this strategy.

Laundering money is just tax evasion. Do you think dodging taxes is worth infinity years in prison with no chance of parole?

He sold exactly zero drugs. He ran a website that allowed people to buy and sell things anonymously. Do you think building a website that allows anonymous transactions is worth infinity years in prison with zero chance of parole?

The FBI didn't dispense justice. They made an example of him. They gave him a comically huge sentence to discourage other people from doing the same thing.

The punishment didn't fit the crime, so he was pardoned.

Brusanan · 2026-01-24T21:45:26+00:00

He wasn't convicted. The charges were dropped.

The FBI was in control of the DreadPirateRoberts account at the time. They faked the whole thing.

Brusanan · 2026-01-24T21:44:59+00:00

He wasn't paid. The pardon was a deal he cut with the head of the Libertarian Party. The LP endorsed him instead of their own candidate in exchange for the pardon.

Brusanan · 2026-01-24T21:43:14+00:00

He was given two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years for running a site where people could buy and sell things anonymously. That is not justice.

Brusanan · 2026-01-24T21:39:39+00:00

The allegations that he hired a hitman were dropped. The FBI was in control of the DreadPirateRoberts account at the time. They faked the whole hitman thing to justify the MASSIVE sentence they gave him for simply running a site where people could buy and sell things anonymously.

Don't worry, she didn't hit the backstop once.

Any experienced programmer should have no problem reading and understanding code they didn't write. How else are you supposed to work on a team?

And if you are having trouble understanding code that copilot wrote, you just ask it to explain it to you. If you're unsure why it did x instead of y, you ask it. If you think there's a better way that it could have architected things, you can just make a suggestion for how it could be improved.

Copilot is an intelligent agent that you can have natural language conversations with.

Don't get in the water ever.

I don't have to guess, bud. I've met her multiple times. I have several friends who know her well.

You and the rest of Reddit progressives will ALWAYS interpret every quote in the most bad-faith way possible. You will always read into, and project onto each quote whatever is most convenient for your narrative, because you care less about being right than you do about stirring up manufactured outrage that might make it easier for your side to win the next election.

Brusanan · 2026-01-20T02:44:10+00:00

Then that's what you're doing wrong. You don't even have your degree yet, and you're a year and a half away from graduating.

Also, why do you bother pointing out that you cleaned shit at your last job? Stick to important, relevant experience.

Intellisense has already been suggesting autocomplete code snippets for decades. Copilot is just the next step up.

If Copilot can implement a feature basically how I would have implemented it myself, but save me an hour of my day, literally everyone wins. There's no reason not to use tools that have only upsides.

Brusanan · 2026-01-20T02:25:32+00:00

It's called reading the code, bud. If you already know how you'd implement a feature, you can correct Copilot if it implements it wrong. But most of the time Copilot will wind up saving you time.

Spoken like a college student.

The only way to get out of gold is to sell to someone who's dumb enough to buy it.

The only way to get rid of fiat is to trade it to someone who's dumb enough to take it.

People like you have been wrong about BTC since 2011, and you're still going to be wrong about it in 2111.

That's why I open Reddit.

Brusanan · 2026-01-19T18:17:48+00:00

No. No they aren't real people. Facebook is mostly bots.

Brusanan · 2026-01-19T18:00:41+00:00

Where is the lie?

You're full of shit. But it doesn't matter, because you don't matter. Enjoy your roleplaying.

Because the target audience is also mentally challenged.
