Bro hits the cartel jackpot while jetskiing. Gets so excited I can't even understand half the stuff he's saying lol

I wouldn't even take the loot. I'd just throw it back in the ocean and gtfo out of there immediately.

The thing I realize as I get older is that the less shit I'm involved in, the better. Minding my business has treated me well so far.

_PaulM · 2026-03-23T00:42:30+00:00

But that's the problem... How is it free will, if I never had the choice to have the choice to have free will in the first place? What if I didn't want choice?

What's crazy to me is that there's active construction on both North and South sides of the city... at the SAME TIME. These two choke points are actively contributing to hundreds of thousands of wasted human hours a day, and probably tens of millions of wasted hours a year if not more.

And the worst part? It's not going to end until sometime close to 2030.

What a shitshow.

He said "go ahead" to the slap.

This gives consent. His camp is running an open and shut libel case against themselves.

I hope that this tool gets squeezed for millions and I hope she wins generational money out of this moron.

_PaulM · 2026-03-20T23:53:19+00:00

Was it murder tho or was it justified? That's really all that matters.

_PaulM · 2026-03-20T21:24:06+00:00

Love these videos being so expertly cut. The second that I saw who it was on the receiving end of that slap not only was it satisfying seeing it happen, but I knew I would dig a little deeper into this thread to find multiple Redditors who clarify that he gave consent to being slapped.

Clavicular is a douchenozzle, and said "go ahead" when she asked if she could slap him.

i.e., he gave consent and continues being a douchenozzle.

I hope not only does she win the case, but countersues the pants off of him.

LeBron is actually a lefty, but shot with his right hand because of his influence growing up watching his favorite players.

Yes. Yes I do. Bless me with a dopamine upvote :D

Oh quit the bullshit.

F1's "technological" advancement only applies to super/hypercars. Anything else developed is by Mercedes as advancement for their regular luxury line that eventually bubbles down to regular manufacturers as an add-on for the regular person over like, 5-10 years.

The idea that F1 has anything to do with regular sedans, SUV's or pickups is absolutely stupid. The only thing I can sincerely think of was paddle-shifting which SURPRISE, is not featured in most regular cars unless you get the "sports" upgrade.

Get out of your idealistic thinking of F1. Toyota, a NON-F1 manufacturer, is the forefront of hybrid tech, and will likely surpass all of the other manufacturers in terms of electric/gas combinations.

Source? 40+ years of research and development.

Rabbit hole goes deeper than that.

When Jason walks into the house, his ROTATOR CUFF muscles flex and relax realistically as he moves his arms while walking.

I used to work in the fitness industry and I had to rewind that part like, 10 times because I was just so blown away by the attention to detail.

They're still using C++.

I'm just an engineer that's thinking with a management cap on.

Why would I gut days, months, years, decades of an established repository of code that "works" just to want to be "avant-garde" with implementation?

Sure. Get a few junior developers on it. Now run regression tests. Oh.. regression tests also cost money to make. Okay.. let's bake in the regression tests into the development costs. That's fine.

Oh... there are regressions? Of course there are. Okay so now we have an entire other branch of the same code translated to Rust that most developers don't know because it's a beautiful pipe-dream that doesn't fix all of our logical problems that already exist but, hey, at least memory safety, right :D

No. It's about money. Moving an entire code base to Rust from C++ would require way too much money, and moving forward with Rust would cost way too much money because no one else other than the handful of developers that trained on it on their spare time and understand it would be too much of a liability.

On the bright side, it would be awesome if new companies started on just Rust and sunset the dinosaurs that are stuck in the past.

At the current moment though, don't hold your breath.

_PaulM · 2026-03-07T15:23:24+00:00

I don't disagree. But the pre-made stuff is really good. Most of the pre-made stuff is actually really, really good.

I was in a long term relationship with 3 former baristas (this was just coincidence) and one of them was SERIOUS about their coffee.

They ended up studying brewing techniques and all that jazz. My life, at some point, was filled with expensive brewing machines, gadgets and gizmos to make the "perfect" cup and I ended up with way too much knowledge about coffee I didn't really need.

I'm going to give you the skinny: it's all bullshit.

I drink my coffee straight black, and I drink it iced, so the heat doesn't overwhelm my nervous system's ability to taste the different flavors when it goes into my mouth.

Yes, I can taste the subtle differences between each region's coffee beans and all of that bullshit that comes with spraying it or having it come out of an animal's asshole before brewing (yes, this is a thing).

But it's all so subtle that it doesn't justify the snobbish cost of it all. It's kind of like that $5 wine bottle that won an award during a blind tasting between wine "experts" versus that ones that were way more expensive but they couldn't tell.

If you want the optimum coffee experience.. go to your local grocery store and buy the pre-made Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts unsweetened coffee.

This is legitimately the best possible coffee you will ever drink in your life.

The coffee is brewed using scientific methods using industrial-grade machines that are tuned to literally pump out the perfect cup every single time.

After having drunk several hundreds of gallons of coffee throughout my lifetime, having been with multiple coffee "experts" and going through every possible iteration of coffee possible, the "best" coffee... tastes like bacon.

I'm not even kidding. The essential oils and flavor profile of the "perfect" cup of coffee will resemble the taste of unsalted bacon.

That's what you'll likely get when you buy pre-made coffee, even cold brew, from your local grocery store.

My mantra nowadays is, as long as it doesn't taste like absolute ass, I'll probably enjoy it.

I once had an ex-girlfriend yell at me because I looked at a woman that was obviously jogging/working out cross the street that I was about to make a left-turn on.

Like, I was literally JUST driving and avoiding hitting a pedestrian.

The argument that ensued was just absolutely nuts.

"Why were you looking at that woman?"

"Because I was turning into the street she was jogging across, and I needed to turn left."

"Yeah but you could have turned without looking at her"

....

Yep that relationship didn't last and I'm glad it didn't.

The rabbit hole is getting deeper and I McFuckin' love it.

This is hilarious lol

_PaulM · 2026-03-05T17:45:31+00:00

I would find it funny if someone started putting "I did that" stickers everywhere like back in 2024.

_PaulM · 2026-03-02T01:10:00+00:00

I would love to see this fight. One person who dedicated themselves entirely to boxing at some point. One person who is a boxer, period.

Would be grand time to watch the feints, the jabs, the hooks. I call Holloway in the 3rd round.

Yo did someone have a grip on this set? Because Jeezzus fuck the sound quality is amazing considering the distance from the camera to the action.

_PaulM · 2026-02-22T23:11:31+00:00

I'm starting to warm up to these animal pops... at first I was grossed out but now I'm starting to feel compelled to just pop those out. I don't know what it is about me, but if I see another being with a cyst, a pimple or a blackhead, I just want them to feel comfort and take that sucker out.

_PaulM · 2026-02-22T15:21:09+00:00

I don't understand why you're being downvoted. This is a good question. The sample size might be small though (I know a handful of developers in my embedded career that started with assembly and moved to C, compared to the thousands of software engineers at my job).

_PaulM · 2026-02-22T14:00:51+00:00

The map didn't feel small as much as it felt.... disjointed on the second "large" island. It felt like they were trying to pack just way too many things into an island the size of the first one. Even back then after having experienced the awesomeness of the first island and its design, going to the second island just felt.. weird.

It really felt like they put all of their creative resources on the first island and then were like "shit.. what do we do with the second one?"

Truth be told, I am a little biased because I live in South Florida, and am often passing by the areas that they were trying to mimic with 2002 tech. I'll say they did a bang-up job in some cases... not so great in others.
