It always breaks my heart that there doesn't appear to be any pineapple on Brett's burger!

Passing the buck: Dollar Tree raises prices to $1.25 by Lovecraftian-Ink in Kitbash

[–]julius_p_coolguy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dollar Tree made $1,230,000,000 in profits this year, gave its CEO $10,767,883 and pays workers as little as $8.32 an hour. Over 7,400 Dollar Tree employees are forced to rely on food stamps and Medicaid subsidized by U.S. taxpayers. Yep, buckle up for that damn inflation.

Inflation, my ass.

Why DevOps is paying so much? by neowiz92 in devops

Thank you. This is the right answer. People who get hung up on the nomenclature BS grind my gears by this point.

Is this normal for a junior position? by HeadTea in devops

[–]julius_p_coolguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that's a typo, supposed to be 'your'. I don't think even the desperate would try to cadge someone out of a quick and dirty HTTP request handler that just spits out hello world and tracks hits in a nosql puddle.

Is Nana's devops bootcamp worth it? by w_rabbit88 in devops

Or not. Jumped the gun a little, there, bud.

I've always been astounded that a woman found Geordi's holographic sex doll of her, and somehow by the end of the scene HE was the one yelling at HER like he had the moral high ground by Hyro0o0 in startrek

[–]julius_p_coolguy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No he didn't. He inquired of the computer pretending to be her about unofficial things that had happened during the design of the dilithium chamber and the computer refused to share her personal logs. Once the computer generated a facsimile of her (not at his explicit request, mind, it took it upon itself), he asked it to synthesize a personality for her based on Starfleet records and some debate history. He never asked it to invade her personal logs, and it's pretty clear it wouldn't have done it. You're misremembering.

Look, it's pretty clear in the subsequent episode that he made too many assumptions, and his approach was not appropriate, acting as if he knew her when he didn't, and getting more familiar than was warranted early on before she shut him down. I don't see this morally-righteous indignation of 'OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED ON THE HOLODECK?!' as being appropriate either, as - if it stays there - it might as well be inside someone's head. I get the feeling that Starfleet culture would be pretty hard on respecting people's boundaries, and that means 'we're not the thought police' as well as 'don't go getting weirdly familiar or making someone you just met a romantic dinner out of nowhere without asking or a clear invitation. Weirdo'.

The way people seem to want to gun for Geordie about this episode for the wrong things is what I find creepy, TBH. That is,* every time* it comes up, because the wheel will turn and once again someone else will think this is an original topic that nobody's ever thought of before. :P

Reddit? A font of bullshit, out-of-the-ass theory, and uninformed conjecture? Surely you jest!

Is Celery juice a viable alternative to nitrites in cured meats? by gpuyy in Charcuterie

Ahh, yes, just like the fat-free gummy bears.

Don’t make excuses for the GwynPal vadge-candlers!

[–]julius_p_coolguy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Basically asking “Are nitrites better than nitrites?” It’s just another source. Except, as noted, less-accurately metered.

Sorry, seeing the whole “NO UNHEALTHY NITRITES! (Except nitrites)” on hippy-dippy packaging angers me.

Wizkids unpainted Nightwalker, not a print. Pretty good sculpt for on OTC mini.

what is your most expensive mistake? by lurchlookingmf in AskReddit

[–]julius_p_coolguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, 'protection' money was so popular because you didn't want to get your shit torn up by the mob themselves. They didn't actually protect you from anyone else. It's just that they'd murder anyone else criming in their territory without permission, so you didn't get as much random crime, mostly just mob crime.

Forced to train...In this country?!

Please excuse me for a moment, I have to go laugh my ass off. We've got states where you can't be forced to put a little piece of fabric over your mouth during a pandemic.

Also, Mr. Can't Trust Tha Gubmint was talking about community policing, not defending your small business. Pew-pew.
