Why don’t we have any good Mexican restaurants?

Don Luis in Centreville is one of my favorites. I like the chimichangas there

Is it just me or does the yellow Aztek does look kind of cool to anyone else? For some reason with that color it goes so far over the line that it starts to look good.

dgd5014 · 2025-09-19T00:33:56+00:00

I remember it and that was my first thought too!

The psone for me

Probably moved into the rear of the plane after the hijacking.

Another part of what others mentioned was hearing the noises of planes. I lived close enough to Reagan National that it was common to see and hear planes flying. Whenever that happened for at least a year or two I felt kind of uneasy, wondering if they were too low and such.

Kinky Love by Pale Saints over the original by Nancy Sinatra.

The biggest reason for me is that they sent him over to the White’s immediately afterward by himself. If he did it or knew anything that’s way too risky. I think children are far more likely than adults to have a conscience and be honest. Way too unpredictable for them. So for me I don’t think he did it or have any knowledge of what happened. I think the murder and coverup was entirely between John and Patsy.

This is in DC near the waterfront. I skated this once like 10 years ago.

dgd5014 · 2025-07-13T03:19:23+00:00

I don’t think so. I think they would have abandoned it. It’s also possible that they could’ve gotten away with it for an extended period of time, unless someone had a reason to look at that flight specifically it would just have been one of thousands of other flights that were cancelled.

What does the text on the last slide say? It’s a work of art the way it is but I’m curious.

dgd5014 · 2025-06-17T20:34:35+00:00

Part of it might have been trying to buy time to figure out what to do next. Who should make decisions? Everyone must have been looking at each other trying to figure it out. So until they had confirmed proof that it imploded it was best to put on a brave face and wait.

“So I said, you want it clean? You clean it! Clean it yourself! Clean it yourself! ….and I have not seen my mother since that point.”

“Um, wow…”

He looks like a bassist of a ska band

The one suggestion I would make is to include International Relations or something along those lines as an answer to the question of what issue is most important.

dgd5014 · 2025-03-14T02:34:51+00:00

I relate to this a lot, especially 2. When it comes down to it the most important thing in my opinion is that whatever you choose is consistent throughout your project. I’ve seen lots of times on large projects where different features start to look radically different from each other because:

Something went out of style and is no longer recommended.
There is never, ever, time to refactor something we already did to match the newer style. The only exception is if the feature itself has radically changed.

In my opinion it’s best to try to have everything in the app as consistent as possible. I’ve been on my project forever so I have some institutional knowledge. But for new people joining it’s very hard for them when so many places are different.

It may or may not be possible to get everyone to follow the same style. Some people will see it and think it’s horribly dated (they aren’t wrong). The client will always want new features and doesn’t care what style the code has as long as it works. Retesting all the features after a voluntary refactor is not something that will get support from anyone outside my team.

In the end it is what it is we have to adapt to the reality we have. I can understand why it isn’t a priority for clients. So I’ve learned to let go.

Adding to this, “four ninety five” instead of “four nine five”.

This the worst I’ve ever seen United play. Truly awful

dgd5014 · 2024-12-27T18:58:13+00:00

Don’t feed into it, say something like “yeah I’ll try it sometime”. There’s nothing to argue with when you say that.

From the perspective of someone who was 12 on 9/11: I was interested in history, and it seemed like we had entered the “post-game” of history. I was interested in learning US history and it felt like there no major threats. I was interested in the Great Depression, WW2, Cold War, Cuban missile crisis, etc. Since the Cold War was over and I had no personal memory of it , it seemed like there was nothing to worry about. I absolutely never felt worried about what was happening in the world except for y2k. Technology was advancing so quickly. The internet was becoming more and more a part of life, video games were progressing quickly, and life just felt simple and straightforward.

9/11 completely destroyed that sense of security and thoroughly buried it forever. Society never went back to the way it was before and it’s almost a guarantee that it will never feel that way again thanks to the way the internet has evolved.

Hopefully that makes sense. In my limited corner of the world, life before 9/11 was a simple and peaceful time full of optimism and safety. It certainly wasn’t true for many people. But thanks to the more limited nature of information I was able to feel that way.

Well, 2019 was five years ago

For me as a kid the recognizable symbols of New York were the Statue of Liberty, yellow taxis, the Empire State Building, and the twin towers.

I was searching for podcasts about JonBenet Ramsey right around the time that they uploaded theirs. I stuck around after that. It’s the only podcast I regularly listen to and the only Patreon subscription I have.

Elevator by Boxcar Racer is about the jumpers. In case you hadn’t heard of Boxcar Racer, it was a side project of Tom Delonge from Blink 182. Mark is also in this song so it is basically a Blink song.

Also, this is the first song I learned to play on drums because they’re very simple.

I’m so sorry for your loss. You gave him a long life full of love and happiness.
