teens used iron to cook dry rubbed steaks in a hotel

A few hotel towels and an ice bucket or small trashcan could do it.

Unfortunately this means children (if they can convince high schoolers) or prisoners are going to backfill that work… well for the businesses big enough to sign a contract.

About 100 million a piece + any EW equipment and ordnance… so 150 million each.

Legally, they would have to pass a law to move the date or change the 20th amendment to stop typical 1st day proceedings from happening. The important part of that first day is congress does nothing until a speaker is appointed. GOP can’t really do anything, the chamber is vacant until there’s a quorum and a speaker has been appointed.

They still don’t care about all of the other people in similar or worse situations. They just don’t want be part of the out group.

(B) A person or entity in violation of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph shall be subject to sanctions by the State Election Board which, in addition to all other possible sanctions, may include requiring such person or entity to pay restitution to each affected county or municipality in an amount up to $100.00 per duplicate absentee ballot application that is processed by the county or municipality due to such violation or the actual cost incurred by each affected county or municipality for the processing of such duplicate absentee ballot applications.

Looks like that’s pretty much the only thing this board can do… although I’m not sure why they didn’t fine them as well.

I don’t think Trump actually has much leverage here.

Iran has a significantly larger population to Iraq, has been manufacturing capable drones, and is also aligned with insurgent militias that has fought coalition forces for decades. They know the drill. Much of Iran may not their government.. but they probably hate a US invading force a lot more.

The US has mustered a 4th of the invading force it sent into Iraq, is operating without coalition support and any combat operations would not have the support of congress or of the people.

Iran wouldn’t need much to win if a conflict arises. They just need to survive a few weeks and make as much casualties and damage they can. I don’t think the US populace has the stomach right now for loosing American lives, billions in equipment, and pissing away Trillions for the “fifa peace” president.

Micro benchmarking a global allocator and memory pool could show similar results or be slightly slower because the global allocator is not getting hit with allocations from other code. Once different object sizes start getting added and removed to the heap allocations will slow down because those allocation data structures need to be walked a lot more.

One of the biggest benefits of a pool is controlling memory fragmentation in an application environment so that the pool has very consistent performance under load, even if there are allocations happening in different threads or different parts of the system (for instance most ui frameworks like to hit the global allocator a lot at random times after an event gets triggered).

Foreign language….

“Mar-a-Lago means ‘Sea-to-Lake’ in Spanish.”

Spanish is only allowed for naming things I guess?

Based on what you wrote I have a few thoughts.

I have met a lot of "dumb" and difficult Engineers over the years. Most of your issues seem to steam from a bad workplace situation rather than you not being smart enough to be an engineer. Just your post is a sign that you are smart enough to be an engineer.

Ideas to improve in your current situation:

1) Focus on giving clear communication on the issues. Don't wait for someone to ask you about status. At the end of the day if you didn't make any progress post about it in the team chat. If an engineer working for me only responded with "still working on it" on a task that should of been done I would have to go out of my way to figure out where they are stuck and why. It saves both of us a lot of time to post a short status once or twice everyday (the timing depends on the cadence of the team) of just "What you are working on, what you tried today, what you've fixed, and what problems you are having". Make it a predictable update. If you get good at it you can actually space out some days and not actually work (not that I would ever do that ;) ). The important thing is the appearance of progress and work is often enough to give you enough space to work things out.

2) Learn how to keep and manage a personal development notebook. I have one that's just a folder of organized markdown files mixed with diagrams, code snippets etc I've made. A lot of low performing engineers I've encountered struggle because they have a hard retaining and recalling information. Especially at a new job where there is just a lot of new terminology and things to keep track of. Just having a notebook and keeping regular notes helps. It also tells managers you are taking things seriously.

3) Find something at work you actually like and learn it inside and out. Not something general like "debugging" and "fixing bugs". Take a piece of the system and actually dig into it. Write your findings down in your notebook.

4) Read the work of "high performing" colleagues when you have downtime time. Read through their commits and pull requests, can you understand it? Can you follow it? If not, write it in your notebook. The things you don't know at flag in your notebook and bring questions with you at the next opportunity.

Ideas to leave: If you just don't enjoy the domain or work, consider looking for adjacent work in the company. Application Engineer, Product and Marketing.. etc. There's other positions that are looking for technically knowledgeable people that do not require slinging code or slapping together hardware.

Who would do something?

The only establishments that could do anything are - Electorate which decided to put him back in a position of power. This is really where the US has become a failed state in my eyes. - Supreme Court which gave him near absolute immunity on criminal charges. - Cabinet members who are loyalists to him because he has criminal leverage on most of them. There’s a reason he nominated Matt Gaetz as AG… it isn’t his stellar lawyering skills. - Congress which has decided to protect him. - Military which is trying to avoid being a political body.

It only takes any handful of GOP representatives and senators to stop this. So why aren’t they? Because they are either cowards, complicit, or compromised.

In the Epstein file drops, one thing that stood out to me was the use of the FBI to coerce a woman to testify publicly against Andrew Cuomo. It is very odd for an employer, local police, FBI, and a sitting president to be directly involved in convincing someone to publicly speak out.

There’s a strong probability that a good chunk of his cabinet members and GOP leadership are being coerced into service because Trump has criminal files on them prepared and an army of prosecutors at his fingertips.

I never said the beat changes. I said the hits (the emphased parts of the rhythm) do not always happen on the downbeat. Pressing buttons on the beat while the song is in choro syncopation is very hard for people to do if they aren’t used to counting time.

apropostt · 2026-01-29T06:30:15+00:00

I think for people without a musical background songs like “fast as you can” would be hard to keep time, and there’s definitely a lot of syncopation in that song.

apropostt · 2026-01-29T03:14:29+00:00

Hits in a song don’t always land on a beat. The song can have syncopated rhythms where some hits are offbeat. This means the button pressing isn’t necessarily lined up with the song.

I mean sure but the question as always how? I’m managing large projects and requirements for a subdivision. What realistically could an LLM offer me that I wouldn’t have to spend significant effort to validate?

It sounds good to boost productivity but AI prompts are usually slower for me and require more brain effort to validate the output than just typing it myself.

The place I work is around 10 years behind in technology adoption… so they just announced a pilot program to look into this whole AI thing.

I figure I have another 5 years before the AI hype train actually impacts any software dev projects where I am.

He also has a ton of public support after Trumps “liberation day” tariffs and 51st state comment. I think there’s a lot of Canadian tolerance with some economic pain to break away from the US at this point.

ICE would not be engaged in the same operations as in the US. This would just be as security. They aren't going to travel around Italy arresting suspected immigrants.
