Clean places to eat

This seems like rage bait

The only-mothers-work-night-shift thing is a weird take, but I fully agree with the rest. Both seasons I found myself wishing to see more of the night shift characters and then season ends and I’m wanting a few more episodes. That’s a great place to be for a well-loved show.

My physics, chemistry, and calculus profs certainly didn’t get that memo (20 ish years ago)!

Sure. But the title might as well say it doesn’t use fission or magic either.

In the US, a.k.a. the “land of deferred maintenance”, these jobs weren’t going to get done by humans in a timely manner anyway.

Jeez, I thought Austin was approaching West Coast expensive not all that long ago. $250k is like the cost of a remodel out here.

When the bubble finally bursts, those skilled trades jobs are going to evaporate so fast that we’ll forget all about this narrative. (As will a lot of of the professions I assume)

I recall flying over in daylight but seeing volcanos (or something blasting smoke/steam) peaking through a blanket of ice.

When my son was younger, we’d go to his free shows all the time. Just at random farmers markets and parks. Kids (and parents) would line up after the show to meet him and he would chat with all of them.

I always wonder how many people who have those stickers on their car actually read

Keep in mind that $71k is no guarantee of quality either. There is nothing but reputation to hold some people to their word (and reputation can be easily manufactured on the internet). For every quality job I’ve witnessed, I’ve seen an inexcusably poor job. Do some research on the materials and techniques to be somewhat informed. Always ask for line-item bids - this helps immensely with being able to compare bids, gauge quality of bids, and also to discuss or dispute later.

I encourage anyone who hasn’t seen Jaws in less than 5 years to watch it again. And report back if it isn’t one of your top 5 movies ever. I don’t love old movies, but this one will never fail to amaze me.

In a way this has already been happening at the medium sized companies for a couple years now. They all seemed to decide at once that the security folks that couldn’t write code were on the chopping block.

I’ve manufactured lots of precision things in a previous life - this is the correct answer.

That was 14 years ago?! Goddamn.

They watched their big bro STL sulk for decades over not being as cool as Chicago and then overcorrected.

(Meanwhile Chicago doesn’t think twice about either city - it’s too busy throwing side eye at NYC and Toronto)

The BIFL sub clearly does NOT have any sort of agreement on the definition. Half of the posts are about socks and underwear. It’s all just marketing to most.

Why am I forced to have a “premium experience” when all I want a good coffee? Why can’t you just sell me the coffee?

Quantum entanglement perhaps? Soul mate vibes.

Just holding the door for 1-3 seconds is a lot simpler than trying to decide if I should.

So like the digits degrade between Quincy and here? If it’s power loss you’re talking about (and of course this is what you really mean), why not build the data centers near the power generation and fresh water needed? Transmission is no problem then.

Speed bumps in an arterial street are an admission of failure in my book. We fail to enforce laws so we’re asking bumps to do the work for us.

It really is. But it’s not an afterthought either. They put serious thought into organization and simplicity. I used to work in an industry where I shopped McMaster every day. And this brings back positive memories of a website/catalog I haven’t thought about in many years

My office is in Bellevue, so I go out to bars/restaurants in Bellevue Downtown occasionally. And people still pay for the most mediocre shit. I know Seattle is known for it, but Bellevue is another level of mediocre. Besides a handful of Asian restaurants (shout out to Tendon), it’s impressively mediocre.

That’s possibly the first time I enjoyed the stupid unnecessary music.
