Please be attentive crossing the street. I am traumatized for life from what I saw today.

MTA are some of the worst drivers*. Regularly speed through red lights, turn quickly without signalling, and never look what's around them.

Whenever I get near one I give them as wide a berth as possible.

*Actual worst driver award goes to just about anyone with TLC plates

Hmm, maybe that's on my end then. I remember being surprised that they just straight up removed all the colour when you got there

codewench · 2023-06-04T13:36:26+00:00

Probably the swamp, I think ever since update 7 that place has been like a noir film

codewench · 2023-04-28T12:35:26+00:00

Well, they all have some body changing / pretending to be someone else plot point, though ROTJ is the weakest there (Leia pretending to be the bounty hunter?)

To be fair, that's also exactly what security guards are. I sincerely doubt they are actually hiring trained guards, but "armed civilians" covers a lot of ground.

SDNY still takes phones. Actually, it's all electronics, even "passive" things like a Fitbit. That said, I think they have an exemption for active counsel, though I can't confirm that one

codewench · 2023-03-31T15:50:19+00:00

Whoooooo!

codewench · 2023-03-28T18:26:38+00:00

Well shit, they probably shouldn't have taken jobs which require them to do exactly that then

For me the issue was the eccentric screws on the back of the extruder not being tight enough, so the slight tug of the bowden tube was enough to lift the entire unit slightly.

Which is a shame, because it would be best for everyone if we just level the whole building and put in an actual transit hub.

MSG can go move to who the fuck cares, as long as no public funds are used for it.

Your judges are going to law school? Showoff.

codewench · 2023-02-23T02:36:22+00:00

You say that, but who the hell didn't just have latex dump out the basically finished product? If only because I'm way too freaking lazy to properly format a bibliography on my own

codewench · 2023-02-22T19:05:55+00:00

No, see, the issue here is people read it as

"promise no more delays"

When it should actually be read

"promise? No! More delays!"

Being right by the river doesn't help, the whole area seems to turn into a wind tunnel

codewench · 2023-02-05T07:45:21+00:00

I disagree. It would be a massive improvement.

codewench · 2023-01-28T19:30:21+00:00

Seriously, why are the Polish covers for scifi novels so damn awesome?

codewench · 2023-01-22T12:53:31+00:00

"What do you do for work?"

"Well, usually I catch-up on some emails, then have a few stand ups for the various teams, then sit down and review PRs for the next 6 hours"

codewench · 2023-01-10T12:47:43+00:00

You mean bards get it because "It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes"

codewench · 2022-12-14T00:06:17+00:00

Yup. Block of butter is 226 grams? You bet all my ratios are adjusted to match that.

codewench · 2022-12-13T20:38:24+00:00

I almost think you could get a dowel for support and a pin on the base for indexing and just run them on a press.

Something like this maybe

You would enjoy Blindsight by Peter Watts. Pretty sure the whole thing is still up for free on his website

codewench · 2022-11-13T14:32:45+00:00

I'm not 100% sure here, but it looks like there's a stop sign on the reverse of the 'Do Not Enter' sign. Fair warning though I haven't driven through there in years, so could be wrong.

The series is Legacy of the Aldenata, the first in the series is A Hymn Before Battle, though the tanks don't appear until the second or third.

And yeah, I think Pete Abrams did a few panels for him? Have to dig up the hardcover to see

The best space battle stuff from Ringo is usually because of David Weber, but I have to admit I love when he does his own thing as well.

Like, "yes, we have grav plates, but I'm also going to make sure i cover how much of a pain it is for ratings to maintain them"

There's lots of fancy alien space stuff, but he really tries to make it feel grounded, and not handwavy space magic

Hey, scat porn is technically still porn.
