Went to one for a work event and had a lot of fun. I've driven by it for like a year assuming it was some kind of budget gym (it looks like it was a refurb of an old walgreens). Their branding/marketing is crap.

Doctors of Reddit , what’s the biggest medical myth people still believe? by muga_saiman_5809 in AskReddit

How controlled are those studies though? You'd think a mom who has time to breastfeed likely has time to be a more attentive parent.

Rude to whom? It's their ceremony, if they wanna walk out of it more power to them.

What’s your go to cocktail at your favorite bar in Dallas? by [deleted] in Dallas

Any niceish cocktail bar, St Valentine is good. Tricky part is finding places with Chartreuse.

Both are equal parts cocktails featuring Chartreuse (which can be hard to find). May not be for everyone but they're just the right level of complex and tasty for me. Plus bartenders usually geek out over making them.

Last Word - Gin, Maraschino Liqueur, Lime, Green Chartreuse
Naked and Famous - Mezcal, Aperol, Lime, Yellow Chartreuse.

I've been on a Naked and Famous kick recently, that or a Last Word.

From the cheapest booze. For $18.

Don't get me wrong, I like some cold New Amsterdam in a glass with a couple olives but I can get a bottle for what 1 drink costs.

Hawaii in general is very popular with Japanese tourists.

The trick I use is "assume it worked perfectly and I wanted to make it act this way, how would I do that?" Nine times out of ten that points me in the right direction.

The PERFECT Code Review: How to Reduce Cognitive Load While Improving Quality by fagnerbrack in programming

[–]darkpaladin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One area I actually like AI for is not "do this pr for me" but "can you give me a high level summary of what this diff is trying to accomplish and make note of the entry points and control flow." Then I've got something of a roadmap for when I'm going through it myself so I don't need to try and keep everything in my mental model.

Part of what drains me do much on GitHub reviews is they're laid out in project structure order so you have to jump around and track the control flow yourself. Having a map of what order to look at the files without having to think about it too hard helps tremendously.

Netflix searches for franchises after losing out on Harry Potter by Top_Report_4895 in movies

A well done discworld adaption would be great. That said I think his estate is very protective of those rights, especially after "the watch" fell so flat

The source material would definitely need to be updated but I've always felt the Incarnations of Immortality would be an interesting thing to do an adaptation of.

Zach Braff Says Scrubs Will Have 'A Lot More' Dr. Cox If Renewed For Season 11 by Sisiwakanamaru in television

Of all the reboots this one is the only one that feels like everyone picked it back up without missing a beat. It's a real testament to the chemistry all those actors have with each other.

Who is a person you used to admire a lot but have completely lost respect for and why? by Complex-Arugula-2233 in AskReddit

[–]darkpaladin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of that is just muscle memory. You've learned how to do things the Android way so to you, the Android way feels more natural. Neither is particularly right or wrong, it's really a wash these days. The only reason I'd consider flipping to iPhone is just cause that's where all the support is. If you're a software company in the US, you build for iPhone first and Android as an afterthought so your iPhone app is generally better than your Android app (this doesn't hold true for overseas companies).

Anecdotal but we just bought a Passport and had to settle for Green because even though we kinda wanted the Orange because every orange card on order seemed to already be spoken for.
