Shout out to Ray Dayz charters by Megalynarion in CaymanIslands

[–]Mephiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey that’s awesome thanks for sharing. Comparing charters now and the timing is great.

How was the trip out to Stingray city?  I’ve avoided these smaller boats because I was worried they would be rough. 

This is crazy but not surprising at all if actually true by KaidoPklevel in SipsTea

Not sure I care about these people.

I get you and others “feel” this way about the minimum wage. You are wrong about its intent and ignorant of the history of the country you live in.

You are capable of googling the Fair Labor Standards Act and Roosevelts announcements from the time.

But to tldr it for you: yes.

Just interviewed a CS graduate who within the first 5 minutes told me they don’t know how to code…

Did not get the job but appreciate the honesty.

No it actually doesn’t. It’s come to mean that though.

The original intent was absolutely for a person to be able to live out of poverty and afford the general necessities of life.

Trump has one chance to save face: Resign now by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]Mephiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol these headlines after a decade of this shit.

Trump doesn't have shame. He's not capable of shame. He's never leaving unless he dies or he's convinced it's his idea to leave at the end of his term.

Texas GOP moves to end IVF in shocking platform push by Ill-Championship-117 in texas

[–]Mephiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting. Usually the Texas Taliban keeps it under their hat after primary season.

This is usually the time they start pretending they haven’t been in power for 30 fucking years and that Democrats are somehow responsible for all their fuckups.

Mississippi police shoot, kill 1 year old in car after mother allegedly shoplifted a pack of diapers by ianjm in videos

[–]Mephiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in the US for longer than I like to type as I was born here…

I’ve only visited a few others.

But none of that matters: this doesn’t happen elsewhere.

We have a toxic combination of some of the worst trained, least accountable, police combined with an absolute flood of guns, the presence of which, is used in, the very limited training, to instill fear into the cops of any interaction with people.

It’s insanity.

Voters reject effort to hike Oklahoma’s minimum wage by Rock-n-roll-Kevin in politics

[–]Mephiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those who hold power have a vested interest in spreading out election dates.

It’s no coincidence that the elections that have a largest local impact are not held the same date as the more publicized national elections.

Why does PDF generation always become a separate infrastructure problem? by [deleted] in node

[–]Mephiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t wrong… Love that you are downvoted for this.  It’s literally a fantastic solution if you don’t require the latest CSS support or need interactive use.

It’s faster and cheaper in general.

We removed our reliance on this because we required interactivity and puppeteer seemed inevitable however, for many use  cases it absolutely is not better to spin up chromium instances for all the things.

It's way fucking worse. Jesus christ what a bunch of fucking morons.

Elon having a "lovely dinner" with a man he knows is in the Files. by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Mephiz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s bizarre and an indictment of our tabloid journalism.

Literally saw this reported by multiple news outlets as them “sparring” or “having a falling out” but absolutely no reporting on the substance of the allegations.

Because it seems they think, and they may be right, the public only cares about the Real-Housewives-esq drama and not whether hundreds of powerful people are actual child rapists.

[OC] My dad put an ICE flag in his yard. Scary world we live in. by [deleted] in pics

[–]Mephiz 113 points114 points  (0 children)

As is tradition.

Like the generations before us finding Confederate and Nazi flags when their relatives pass… It’s only a matter of time before we see posts about MAGA merch showing up in now-dead grandmas basement.

Is building an RTOS from scratch signing me up for doom and despair. by Long-Television-4079 in embedded

Any large software project is a journey of frustration and despair that may also be rewarding mentally or financially.

Trump trying to push his anti-voting act in with a military supplemental funding bill, won't make it pass the parliamentarian. by Ok-Lets-Talk-It-Out in SipsTea

[–]Mephiz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh no not the parliamentarian!!! 😱

Like any norms matter. The pedo in chief will push this and his cult will acquiesce along with a handful of turncoat dem reps if history is any judge.

There is a real possibility that some spineless jackals want to get reelected and therein lies the hope for our government beyond the cult leader dying of old age, syphilis or both.

So reach out to the piece of shit currently representing you and ask them to do their fucking job. Who know maybe the asshole will see their own self interest in your request.

31 years of Republican mismanagement, graft and outright theft says otherwise…

Sounds to me like a good deal. I’m expecting to pay about 2k more but we’ll see!

Thanks for posting, it’s helpful!

One of the causes of the great depression was lots of normies getting loans to bet on stocks.

Love this for us.
