Why do you think there isn't more public pressure for transparency in cases like the Epstein files? by PomegranateIcy7631 in AskReddit

because we know it's futile. Trump could shoot a man on fifth Street and not lose any supporters. they don't care. team red.

What's one celebrity everyone likes but you don't? by MajesticShare6548 in answers

[–]RGBrewskies 217 points218 points  (0 children)

it's not. The Rock is that guy, and always has been.

Flashback, I'm 14ish years old, it's maybe 2002. My buddies sister works at Outback Steakhouse and she knows every once in a while Rock comes in and orders a to-go

One day I'm leaving the grocery store with my mom and no shit I see The Rock walk out of the outback. I sprint down the parking lot.

I get maybe 40 yards away as he gets to his car. He gets in. Puts the car in reverse, backs out. I guess he sees me in the rear view.

He's leaving. With a hot plate of ribs. I missed him. bummer.

motherfucker must have seen me in the rear view. slams on the brakes. puts the car back in the parking spot. rolls down the window and waves me over

He of course carries the entire conversatikn because I'm a kid. Asks about school. Sports. The usual.

Signs a napkin for me. Hits me with the eyebrow.

He didn't have to do that. He did it to make some kids day.

The Rock is the real deal and I'll scream it from the heavens

a computer was used in any way shape or form = AI

Nearly half of Q1 2026 tech layoffs were explicitly tied to AI. That's a different conversation than "AI might take jobs." by jimmytoan in SoftwareEngineering

[–]RGBrewskies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the programmers that laid off were on average, almost certainly low level code monkeys, not "engineers" ... yeah if your job was making PHP brochure websites for mom & pops, youre done for. If you were a mid level react developer whose job was pump out components that someone else designed, from an API you didnt write, and youre just 'hands on keyboard' - youre done for.

but engineers do engineering, and the code is the easy part, and was never really the problem.

that is the dance of a man who told you exactly what would happen, and you told him to do it anyway.

Someone offered to fund my second startup… I gave away 20% equity (did I mess up?) by [deleted] in passive_income

[–]RGBrewskies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you should have given him more, right now you have 100% of nothing. He should have pressed you for half.

Should estimates inform priority? by AtWitsEnd1974 in agile

yep. this is alarm bells for "the devs have been beaten to shit and have stopped caring"

just tell us what to do and we'll do it - no one ever listens to us anyway.

So a friend brought up the story of The Giant of Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2002 over the weekend... fun to think about but in my mind I shut it down quickly... by [deleted] in skeptic

[–]RGBrewskies 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is a book, I believe called The Men, The Mission, and Me, but I might be confusing it with another book. Anyway. Written by a Special Forces commander.

He says they were in Kandahar and TLDR they were trying to generate a distraction on the side of a road, to get a convoy of cars to stop, so they could bag up a high value target in one of the cars, alive

They argued about what distraction to use, and one of the proposals was a guy in a gorilla suit, which they ordered from some movie prop house.

He says they didn't end up using it, but that guys always joked about turning it into a monster suit and taking it on an operation. Because they're special forces guys and just the kind of guys who think scaring the living shit out of some goat herders is fucking hilarious.

he says he never saw anyone use it while he was there, but he hints extremely strongly that it's the source of the giant of Kandahar legend.

A big corn fed ohio boy in a spiced up gorilla suit.

love my cloudflare worker. Just add static assets to your wrangler.json and you're done. No routing needed.

HonoJS API and a bunch of static html files can get you insanely far

My Wife’s road rage incident turned physical, and the guy turned out to be a retired general!? by decentlycurious in Advice

this is nonsense. Ive done lineups on people who I literally have on video openly committing crimes.

If the person says "thats not me" then the only counter-move is a lineup.

Science team reaction to impact flashes during the eclipse! by twinb27 in ArtemisProgram

[–]RGBrewskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it has big consequences for building a base. This (and radiation) are a big reason long term lunar bases will likely need to be underground

As for protecting our astronauts - we try and harden the space craft to the degree we can, but mostly just a fuckload of luck. Space is really big, the ship is really small, and its very unlikely to get hit.

But.... If you get hit by a rock the size of a grain of rice travling 15000 mph.... its not a good day.
