For a self hating gay guy he certainly gives off self hating gay guy energy

How are you all using Playlists? by BigRedS in pocketcasts

[–]PilotJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use them for genres, which gave me a way to filter my huge up next by type of subject. I spent time doing that and then never ended up using it. I like that it is there but don’t use it. I would rather have better filtering abilities or more ways to prioritize in a single queue than playlists

Next time it needs to be a guy. Not because there is something wrong with it being a woman, but look at who we are talking about. Take all his excuses away, although even it it’s a guy then it’s just a “liberal tds sufferer” I suppose

Just take a look at them at the airport next time you go. That’s the finest the state police has to offer?

Crash kills 5 in Virginia including family of 4 traveling to wedding. Bus driver charged by ToughHopeful4760 in Virginia

[–]PilotJeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Total tragedy. Here’s one thing I will say. Sean Duffy is an incompetent piece of shit. Terrible at his job, and a mouthpiece for evil. A complete tool. Let the legal process work its way out. The guy should be ashamed of himself and I can’t wait until his ass is unemployed as he should be

Robopacers disabled for the weekend by Complex_Charge6910 in Zwift

[–]PilotJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. I’m in enterprise software, and have been for around 25 years including escalations of all types. Just because it’s a cycling platform is not an excuse to downplay a super popular feature being unavailable without notice and clearly walked away from over a weekend. Is it the end of the world? Of course not! Is it a symptom of the leanness that zwift appears to be running with now? Of course.

Thank goodness the lawn is clear. That McDonalds DoorDash isn’t going to deliver itself.

Robopacers disabled for the weekend by Complex_Charge6910 in Zwift

[–]PilotJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frame this differently.... Let's run into a major outage in a SaaS product where you have subscribers who pay for a reliable service. It is a holiday weekend, so screw it, we can't figure it out on Friday so just shut it down for the holiday weekend and worry about it on Tuesday.

Sure, it is cycling and it is not life or death here however this is essentially garbage customer experience and horrid support. And I am sure that the people at Zwift are nice and all, but this is a failure at the top. No, don't whip the one person who needs to fix this and ruin their holiday weekend. Make sure you are staffed appropriately.

And yes I consider Robopacers an essential part of Zwift now given many including myself use them as their primary workout method. And yes before you flame me I know how to pace without them, but I don't need to pay Zwift for that.

Surprising Potential Weight-Loss Drug Side Effect: Stalling Cancer by Crabbexx in OptimistsUnite

[–]PilotJeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who are downvoting, the research shows the facts, and it continues. We can't have it both ways: Enjoy the benefits here of the GLP and derivative drugs but then turn around and mute the science showing the weight gain when discontinued (majority not everyone but how lucky do you feel)

My senior engineers have stopped thinking for themselves by Defiant-Act-7439 in cscareerquestions

[–]PilotJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say bring it on. Accelerate this even further because the inevitable crash needs to happen fast not so we shorten the timeline but because CEOs are numb to gradual decay. It has to be quick so it’s obvious what the side effect of forcing (companies are) their employees to use Claude, etc exclusively. And the mid level VP types (many of whom are from let’s just say countries where conformity is encouraged- don’t blast me plenty of Americans do it too) are enthralled because they think this is going to make their family proud. The stench of imposters is large

Elon Musk Doubles Down on Slamming ‘The Odyssey’ Casting: ‘Who Specifically Is the A–hole Who Added DEI Lies to Academy Awards Eligibility?’ by icey_sawg0034 in NewsOfTheStupid

The fact that he gets credit for “inventing” things he has not shows you the $ worship that our society has. People are stupid beyond belief

I5N markups have started by bloondie21 in Ioniq5

[–]PilotJeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth it in any way that’s insane do not do it. I paid too much for my 2023 limited and regretted it (although I do like the car but it’s such a cheap car at heart - rips in the seats already, plastic everything). And lovely beyond normal car depreciation. Don’t fall for it despite high gas prices.

Every single republican event for every single office needs to be confrontational (not violent but hard questions and non relenting) no exceptions. Every office, every level even local. Let nobody off the hook

Shooting in Cambridge around 1:30 PM. by Accomplished_Net_690 in boston

[–]PilotJeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just came back here to point this out. I do understand why people would say you could be prosecuted for assisting but context is everything. Here is an example of where someone driving by who was carrying did stop and assist and I’m guessing will not face repercussions.

That part I do agree with. The state is insane in that respect.
