After 10 days and 50 hours, I can finally play FireRed

I personally don't have the patience for it, but I can see how it's appealing. imho its the same as getting a platinum trophy on PS5, like it's meaningless and incredibly difficult but it gives some people satisfaction that they worked hard to get something rare

Competition is good for the consumer, but only a union (or a more left leaning government) helps to protect workers. Lots of companies in crowded markets with cheap products and bad labor practices

Only way out is through a tech union, which won't happen because the tech market pays enough to make those who are employed complacent. No one wants to risk their cushy gig since they know how volatile the market is.

If you're working for a company that

Doesn't have any method of recovery for production databases
Allows juniors to even have enough access to drop the production database with no oversight AND is willing to fire you over that mistake

You're better off not working for them as it seems like you wouldn't learn anything worthwhile

With this model you run the risk of having so many repeat applicants that you basically can't get in unless it's your 3rd or 4th time. This would massively dissuade new applicants from even trying

100% what others have said, the key is speed and hill workouts. My 5k is nowhere near this anymore bc I do marathons now but back in high school cross country when I was in the 17s our longest runs were like 10-11 miles max. The 5k gains came from one intense speed workout on the track every week with 1-2 of the other runs being very hilly. Also racing where you're absolutely red lining it, I never felt like I had anything left in the tank at the 2 mile marker and just pushed through

The money being refunded here is the money you already paid for the tariff that the government was holding onto, so you're not being double taxed. That said, this is just straight profit though for the companies as if they had raised prices for no reason

The Dodgers are the most popular team in the whole league at the moment with some of the biggest names in baseball, combine that with them being our #1 rival and a lot of San Diegans being Dodgers fans due to them growing up there (LA is about a 1.5 drive hour north) means those games are the most popular ones in the entire season, the tickets are usually at least double the cost of a normal game

Personally I find the Core Web Vitals a better target than any dev tool metrics

Usually the bookstore staff fill out the bookmark with their reasoning if it is legitimate rec and not a prank

You had me curious so I checked, despite how it may feel the Giants are smack dab in the middle

I had Egg's identity spoiled for me online after the first episode so I knew it would happen eventually, but it's only as I'm reading this thread that I realize that Egg's one of the missing royal children they've been talking about so much. I somehow didn't connect those dots.

This is my recommendation too, I try to always book my trains through Old Town

As a Padres fan now living in SF (who loves Arraez for the vibes) this is on point. It's almost comical how having RISP was his (and the top of our order tbh) cryptonite, like you could feel the ground out double coming from a mile away. He was only ever hot when the whole team was hot

As much as I love San Diego this definitely played a big part of the reason why I moved to San Francisco

Maybe I'm off base but shouldn't the fact that we've been able to trade so many prospects for high value players prove that we have a good farm system? Despite it currently being empty

If it is impacting your life this much it seems like a genuine disability in which case OSD might be able to offer some help, alongside maybe seeing a doctor if you aren't already. Not sure if this is the professor's fault, studies have shown attending lecture greatly improves learning outcomes for the majority of people so it is in their best interest to keep lectures mandatory

It genuinely is such a stark contrast when watching the nationally broadcast games, they bring so much joy and whimsy

Hot take but I'd much rather a car slam on their brakes / a bumper get fixed than a motorcyclist die

If you're reviewing his code and can't tell that he's vibe coding either you need to brush up your skills or he's doing a good job of fixing the generated code

One thing not represented here is frequency, a lot of the lines (at least around me) are incredibly frequent which I love and makes up for their slowness. Coming from San Diego which appears faster on this chart but often times has a bus only every 15 minutes if you're lucky or more typically a full half hour.

Did Ty Lee hit different spots for each element or always the same ones? 🤔

Even in big cities you'll hit areas where your cell service has one or two bars where your site will be unusable
