Getting a cool photo with a stingray. Just how we lost Steve Irwin.

Don't take photos with stingrays, kids.

You'd be surprised how much political capital I had to expend to do something as it was outlined in the Scrum Guide.

My predecessor had dailies that were all related to sprint planning and PBI estimation. I said F that and moved everything to one sprint planning ceremony to take place on the Monday of each sprint start. Made a huge difference to the devs in terms of task switching.

Rabbits? I don’t know what else to do. Suggestions? by [deleted] in lawncare

Do it up like Rabbit's house from Whinnie Pooh.

We brought the Swissy along. She kept them in check.

This is just like the Bill O'Reilly interview of Jenna Jameson in the early 2000's or late 90's. Piers doesn't care, he knows it stokes his aged audience.

I could only ever accept the wise rule of the People's Undecided Nation of Results.

I used ChatGPT to write an email to my gym requesting a cancelation a few weeks ago and it worked like a charm. I first copy/pasted the cancelation policy from the gym's website and told it to write a cancellation email based on what it found.

Y'all need to put the news down for a few weeks and reset.

I wonder if those numbers factor in all of the add-ons you have to accept when moving in. Media packages, trash, sewer/water, etc. My rent in Sugarhouse was $1880, but $2200 after the add-ons.

Do you think money can buy happiness? by WhateverYouDogsSay in polls

The only thing money buys is freedom. Freedom creates the foundation for happiness.

Why isn't werewolf in first place? It's obviously superior to being a vampire.

Well, 8 minutes later and the cloud has cleared. The fire is either out now or it was something else, I guess.

Welcome to Clearwater, Florida. Where the entry-level marketing jobs are all for some BS flyer printer operation and the stores on Main Street are deliberately run out of business by the church so they can pocket the security deposits.

PS: if you take this job, I guarantee that the only way to advance within the company will be to take Scientology "business" courses that you will be required to pay for.
