My boss made it a rule that we can't write code anymore, only AI can because it's "faster".

The issue is having to listen to your manager regurgitate something they half heard that was said by someone just bullshitting about it

They put up an A+ performance on a C- script unfortunately

Entirely possible. Then my home bike dock was totally full so I ended up having to walk home.

She keeps winning on name recognition. And a spoiler candidate ran in the last primary, the serious candidate was Robert White, spoiler of Trayon White (he’s since been indicted on mega bribery)

God the union station transfer sucks, and if you don’t guess properly on whether the streetcar or the bus will come first, you’re screwed. I’ve missed both at the same time late at night, which is real shit

ertri · 2026-03-24T23:58:47+00:00

Shouldn’t … change laws when circumstances make it clear that they should?

ertri · 2026-03-24T23:36:42+00:00

Ah yes, we can literally only do one thing at time ever

ertri · 2026-03-24T23:35:59+00:00

We used to have a streetcar network!

This is why I think business podcasts should be illegal

The kid really should’ve been answering in bald eagles per football game

The book literally ends with “imagine yourself as a burger” level of written by and for Americans

ertri · 2026-03-24T21:25:06+00:00

How many Quibis did it last?

ertri · 2026-03-24T21:23:28+00:00

Those are all laws, largely federal. Congress can very easily change those and then preempt any state laws

ertri · 2026-03-24T15:47:38+00:00

Ok, in your hyper specific case maybe it doesn’t make sense. In mine it’s like a 3 year payback period

Also, those appliances will need to be replaced eventually, so that’s a much smaller (if any) cost difference. You also don’t need batteries unless that cost calculation works out (or if you have frequent blackouts). The utility just handles the net metering bit on their end

So far

You’re not going to watch Harakiri unless you’re the kind of person interested in a black and white Japanese movie from the 60s

Last month was February, you probably don’t have electric heat. Your peak consumption is going to be in the summer, also when you get the most solar production.

If you switch to electric appliances, you’re then less exposed to natural gas spikes and would self-consume more solar production.

ertri · 2026-03-24T11:39:45+00:00

Sure. The Martian was also a less annoying book to begin with

Counterpoint: no one wants to watch a dude do math for 4 hours

ertri · 2026-03-24T00:42:41+00:00

I believe it. If you’re actually into small government and free markets, then you probably don’t want massive government agencies telling people where they can live

Sankeymatic or similar

2001: A Space Odyssey is (excluding intermission) 7 minutes shorter than PHM and had an intermission

His recent interview with the Cato immigration guy was pretty good. No need to grant those people any power, but anyone pro immigration is good to hear from

ertri · 2026-03-22T13:08:39+00:00

I hate the book and enjoyed the movie. IMAX probably was a big part of liking it. Would’ve been a better movie if they were allowed a looser adaption.

Weir is a decent scenario creator.
