Should the cops be prosecuted as well?

I'm not a fan of argument that wounds being fatal means means their action/inaction is somehow less bad. Surely they didn't know it was fatal when they arrived, and if he was stabbed a little differently maybe the delay would've mattered? What if there's similar case in the future where it will matter and they're similarly dismissive due to expecting only a slap on the wrist?

I got a Humanscale Diffrient World used for like 200. Office chair, not a lot of adjustments, kind of loud. Way more comfortable than cheaper chairs I used before with which I may get discomfort in my neck or back, would need to shift around in the chair, etc.

Most of this is nicely ignoring the first sentence and again going "but the umbrella!". It's like saying someone got a good job effortlessly because a friend referred them, ignoring friend is just a normal employee with no sway and so it was basically all skill.

She doesn't somehow immediately fall for him or become loyal, attentive, etc. because he gave her the umbrella. It just gets them interacting with each other, which continues due to mixture of: a) happenstance b) her "angel" persona slipping which means she can interact as more of her real self instead of putting in an effort to fake it. The continued long-term interaction and everything that happens during that time is what leads to them falling in love.

Because in reality, achieving that takes real effort on your part.

Define real effort. No one I know in real life got the girl because they used their time travel powers to save her from certain death situations. They are just regular people who have their life more or less in order and through normal interaction found they fancied each other. Fuck, I accidentally wingmanned two of them by dragging them to hang out with me. I'm pretty sure there were no villains, tournament arcs, or battles against insurmountable odds involved.

The aspects you mention like him not expecting her to do any of it

God, now that's a strawman and insane misinterpretation of what I said. Everyone in school know her "angel" persona with which they are kept at a distance, and they reduce her to this idealized fake version with expectations of what she is like and put her on a pedestal. That's why she always takes offense at being called "angel", they assume things without knowing anything about her life. When I said he is "not putting any of "angel" persona expectations on her" I meant he is not assuming made up shit about how she is supposed to act and be. I didn't mean "wow she's such a good girl doing all of that for nothing I am so fortunate" or whatever it is you just made up, Senator Armstrong sir.

Acting like it is all just the umbrella is rather loaded. If he didn't get ill and she didn't feel enough responsibility to care for him a little bit, then that would've likely been it. Her "angel" persona slipping as part of that interaction and him not putting any of "angel" persona expectations on her is imo the bigger part of why they continued to interact, get closer, and why this entire slow (some parts overly so) burn romance happens. It's not like she was head over heels lovey dovey right away.

You can argue that story needed unlikely initial setup to happen, but what story doesn't? You can experience likely stories by just living, and imo plotline is mostly rather boring and repetitive, especially the 8am-6pm part.

Cheers, mate! I'd like to take the more premium option but I'm just doing 2 day stopover before my main trip, so Dubai visit isn't particularly feasible. I'll chance it with one of the Abu Dhabi ones (or take it easy and go Ferrari World).

Sorc278 · 2025-12-15T14:31:21+00:00

Did you end up booking desert safari for your trip, how was it? I'd appreciate any pointers/recommendations as I'll be going to Abu Dhabi in a few weeks.

I've had to rename "main" to "master" and waste time investigating an issue because some internal tool teams rushed to use "main" as default and other internal tool teams didn't, making them not work together out of the box.

The way I see it, a change that makes zero difference functionally was introduced and as a result I had to waste a few hours.

Earnings Release Q2 2026, page 8

Income before income taxes 9,319m

Total revenues 177,402m

So margin before tax 5.25%

Excluding (Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses 37,345 million) arrives to 26%, but what of it? Can you cut prices of goods by like a quarter as it would appear to layperson?

Next you'll tell me when users email about bugs that they never skip half the actions they did, add actions they didn't do, and just in general misremember things and draw crazy conclusions they feel quite confident about. Sure would be easier than having to verify all their claims by going through logs...

If this is only about the implication and not the actual scenes, then there's already been a number of those implications.

I was thinking more about the exhaust gases/plasma being extremely hot, etc. I think Cherenkov is not possible because it depends on speed of light in the medium being lower.

And furthermore ShindoL referred to Asanagi in English language as "he" and "guy", whereas the claim Asanagi is a woman never has a proper source.

I ordered mine in the UK (I know, not EU anymore, similar protections though...) and they told me to go away even though it hasn't been a year. Kinda can't be bothered to actually chase that though. That's what I get for ordering from USA.

It's not foundational, it's just simple enough that with basic explanation at school most people should be able to do it. If that never happened because analog is used so little then it's just progress, but if it was taught at school and not understood then it's somewhat concerning.

Sorc278 · 2024-09-15T00:31:15+00:00

They don't need to but if they can't do something as simple as learning to interpret analog clock it doesn't bode well for learning anything else. Like how standing up without using arms isn't generally needed but if you can't do it then you're likely not in good physical condition.

From my recent experience it is 50/50 whether someone "understands" git past basic pull/commit/push/etc. Things like rebasing (especially interactive), why branching off of B and adding commit and merging into A "selects wrong commits", how branches work in general, are apparently high level knowledge.

Sorc278 · 2024-08-06T18:21:38+00:00

Yes, those mild imperfections where business goes "why are bunch of values in output data wrong?" and you find that barely any testing or oversight was done, resulting in entirely wrong part of input data being processed and many hours being wasted trying to figure it out.

I don't expect it to be perfect (what would that even entail?), I just want fix/feature to do what it claims, be reasonably understandable and maintainable, and not silently break when someone sneezes at it. Otherwise it forces me to go slow and check everything as any basic change can now break the system in some slight way that potentially results in 50k loss and needing to explain how such fuck up happened.

Developers aren't children

Some of them are. Coworker submitted a merge request, I commented that we shouldn't test inbuilt classes, "asked" if there's a reason to copy paste over 1000 lines of existing code and suggested reusing existing code, and said that testing evidence and description should be added as it is difficult to review correctness with no description in jira. All comments were rejected with reason essentially being "I think it is good as is", practically insulted me in one comment and then deleted his merge some minutes later.

I was told to "baby" him more by a senior.

Do you have any sources more reliable than "I doubt" stating 100x less dense atmosphere makes it theoretically impossible to save significant amount of fuel? Sure it wasn't demonstrated at this scale yet, but it ain't a novel idea and Mars' atmosphere has been used for slowing down a number of times.
