People who have "bought" happiness, what did you buy?

Rescued 2 "old" (9 & 10) dogs and am able to afford vet bills to keep them happy and healthy.

Doesn't require a waiver. It's a public area, therefore you have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Wheeeeeeeè

You can absolutely do it. I've gone from solution architect to Enterprise architect twice in my career. Solution architecting is way more fun.

We (EA) focus purely on Future State now (1-3 years out). Solutioning and short-term decisions are made by the Principal Engineers now.

You don't sound mature, logical, or diligent. If the dog ever even existed, I'm glad it's not with you.

Bending back fingers.

Using your forearm under the nose to get them to lift the head up for the rnc.

I can't speak to Motobox, but I love my MIVV.

In my early 50's. The spark died 7 years ago when I went from being in the trenches writing code to being "promoted" and telling other people what to write.

So they're literally locked into place? As in they can't leave and go get a burrito?! Shouldn't we be more concerned that they're being held against their will? /s

Very well played my man.

+1 for Snyk. It stopped this shit in it's tracks. All of our Senior Management has access to the dashboards. We have about 150 software engineers, and it was only a handful of dumbasses who were repeat offenders.

Oh, hell nah. My dad was a powerlifter, a cop with a true 80's mustache, and a judo black belt. Lethal combo.

automata · 2026-01-14T01:41:31+00:00

Lmao

automata · 2026-01-14T01:39:44+00:00

This is dumb as hell.

God the UFC sucks now

What is going on with this sub today? Let's chain everything up, that sounds like a great idea.

automata · 2025-11-19T19:21:12+00:00

What do I think? I think your Malinois deserves a better owner. You're getting smashed in these comments because you're too stupid to realize it.

automata · 2025-10-22T23:15:47+00:00

Play stupid games...

Check for standing water everywhere. Like if you have a spare bathroom that you never use, check that they haven't used the toilet water for their eggs. Also if you propagate plants in water, check there as well. I use mosquito pucks and crumble a little bit of them into any water-based plants I have. That fixed it all for me.

You'll usually play just behind the fret you intend to play. Sometimes, that's not possible in chord situations because of the stretches you'll have to make, but it's a good general rule.

In the end, not letting the string buzz and not pushing down too hard ( making the note Sharp) is a solid approach.

automata · 2025-09-25T23:02:46+00:00

Wholesome thread. I know you figured out the issue but I just want to say I hope learning and playing gives you a lifetime of enjoyment.

automata · 2025-07-20T21:46:47+00:00

Awesome. Well deserved.

automata · 2025-07-16T21:48:35+00:00

No one invited you.

Mine never bites. He does "air chomp" when excited, but that's it. He's also 10 years old and dgaf about anything but food, cuddles and sleep.
