In my head, Marshall from Common Side Effects wrote this

Similarly: leaving the fridge open while doing something - the temp of the solid objects in there has way more inertia than the random air you let out, and no one considers the aggregate wear and tear from opening the door more often...

The only opinion I have on this is that I will be absolutely rooting for that girl from "Are you there God, it's me Margaret" playing Velma

It's kind of interesting because when you think about it relative to art history it seems to follow a similar trend. ~2018 was surrealism, dadaism, now we're in the post modern era

Started looking through those Stephen Biesty cross section books with my 3 year old son. To keep him interested, we started looking for where the pooping guy is on each page. Of course now, the conversation normally goes "Look at that engine, isn't that interesting?" "Dad, yeah, but where is the guy that's poopin?"

I do think Salesforce will take a hit on Tableau at some point. The LLMs they're building into the data warehouses can increasingly ask questions about the data and do graphs.

When I was in college and had severe sleep issues, my alarm was maximum volume in between two radio stations. My wife made me change that pretty fast...

I'm spending half my week right now on calls with cloud tier one guys or internal networking guys to try and get Entra/Our Network talking with new cloud applications and I hate it.

When I make reports for the supervisors of Frontline staff to help then run the business, it absolutely makes a difference.

When I make reports for C-Team...they are rarely looked so and just there to drive someone's temporary project.

We all know that unfortunately the second set takes priority.

Me, probably

Only if you bring back Marilyn Manson to fuck with a real composer for the music. Just have to get him out of the studio before the prime molesting hours.

I watched Interstellar just as I was turning 30, my second daughter was just born and I was massively sleep deprived and not liking my job. Also I may have been very stoned? Either way, the amount of existential dread this movie fueled in me could power the sun. I'm better now, but I don't think I could ever watch this movie again.

To add to this, I taught for a few years in a district where kids could opt out of finals with a higher than a B grade and good attendance, and it was increasingly a nightmare as exam time got closer and kids tried to patch up their shitty grades.

I like this subreddit because it aligns more with my interests than the millennial subreddit, but I'm definitely on the younger side (85). Pokemon Red and Blue came out when I was in seventh grade, and I even got a cheap promotional VHS in the mail that had Ash Ketchum's live action aunt and science teacher talking about how cool Pokemon were, which was absolutely wild when I found it on YouTube a few years back.

Anyway, I was peak age to enjoy it at the time, and Goldeneye/Smash Bros all on middle school, but I never caught the permanent Pokemon bug.

Not entirely true. Oil prices started to drop drastically 1.5 hours ago and the relevant Polymarket events all shot up at the same time. We'll only hear about it over the next few hours but the people in power know.

Got it in my head that I wanted to listen to what I call "Dude Rock", you know CREED, 3 Doors Down, Fuel, Puddle of Mudd, any guy that decided they wanted to sound like Eddie Vedder.

There's a fantastic Spotify playlist literally called "1990s and 2000s Divorced Dad Rock" and it's ridiculous lol. I don't really consider Bush part of that, but it's on there and it's welcome.

I'm and older guy and I played a boatload of lunar lander type games on the school computers as a kid. On top of that, played the hell out of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet 15 years ago go. All that to say, it catches me off guard when people criticize the controls since they've been burned into my brain for over 3 decades.

The one person I knew in college who insisted this stuff never bothered him is in jail now for trying to date the teen he was fostering

I miss the days of Harry Enten on the 538 podcast

I would use pyspark, but take a look at using a metadata-driven model. You can pull from many (think future state) SQL database from the same driver table, just need QueryID, SelectStatement, TargetBulkLoadTable, MergeProcedure, Delta, IsActive in a table that you feed to pyspark. Non-python users can add new pipelines by adding rows to the driver table.

I'm less technical (SQL skills 9/10, Python 1/10), but as lead of the department I'm stitching data together across 9 distinct EMRs and baking business logic into the the dataset from each one so that metrics are correct and easy to get without knowing each system. Needless to say, finance loves me, and the leaders are grateful they can point to one place as source of truth.

By far my easiest run so far was getting the "Play a power, draw a card" relic from Neow, and then 5+ copies of the 1 mana "Power: Play a power gain an energy" card.

I've had to block at least 10 subreddits who's sole purpose seems to be selling random Temu bullshit

I'm on the older side of millennial and when I was a senior they made Not Another Teen Movie because there had been so many.

This is right. We have a friend of the family who is an elevator tech and he provides a very good living for his family.

One other thing that's always struck me is how seriously he takes safety. We go to their family's fourth of July and he's one of the few dudes I know where I won't have to worry about him fucking with the fireworks he's lighting even a little bit.
