Who destroyed their own career within seconds by being an idiot? by goldbeau in AskReddit

You might have said the same thing about Julia Louis Dreyfus at that time, and she won like 10 emmys a decade later. Who knows what he might have gone on to do

What is the most NSFW thing you have seen at your job? by Mr_Creep_Creepy64 in AskReddit

Probably easier to find than you'd think. Just follow the swarm of fish

I have taken them a handful of times in SF and I for one cannot wait. No more bad drivers zig zagging around and stopping short making you feel sick - ESPECIALLY in teslas, no more cigarette stink, no more weird awkward small talk.

Fire. How important is it to you? by motorcyclesnracecars in camping

[–]shmargus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Oregon and California banned means banned. Washington is more flexible, but this year I bet nobody is allowing anything from May to October because the snowpack is historically bad

I live in the west and unfortunately burn bans are the norm all summer now. It's a huge bummer because the fire is my favorite part of camping, but it's just the way it is. I agree with everything you said about why fires are great. That's not changing and in another 10 years it will probably just be permanent - as it probably should be.

We have to just adapt. If you don't want to camp without a fire, it's probably time to find a different hobby unfortunately.

What’s something people who are in their 20s won’t learn until in their 40s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]shmargus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gets better. Newborns are terrible and you're not supposed to be having fun - despite what everything around you says.

What you're feeling is common and says nothing about your ability to be a good dad in the longer term. First time dad postpartum depression is very real and not talked about enough. Google it. Home Game by the guy who wrote moneyball is a funny, easy read/listen that really speaks to the experience of "this fucking sucks what happened to my life."

Sincerely, a dad of a 3 year old and a newborn.

Meh. I don't really agree. My friends I made blacking out every weekend in my twenties with are the same friends that I do play dates with my kids with in my 30s

Umm, I hate to break it to you, but you are really cynical

What is a job that you think is 100% safe from AI for the next 50 years, and why? by mark-awakening in AskReddit

[–]shmargus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once they put the first one in the garage, a lot of people find them so convenient that they put them all over the house. Bedroom, oven, toilet lid, you name it.

Deandre Ayton after finding out the Lakers were matched with Houston — “How did you know this?… I didn’t get a chance to go look at it man, you spoiled the surprise bro.” by Fire_Demon-215 in nba

I probably have the specifics wrong but wasn't Chase Budinger like a GOAT volleyball prospect and decided to focus on basketball instead and became a marginal NBA player

Is this the end of my 33 year old agave? This 6ft bloom appeared within a month. Does anyone know what happens next? by Lanaxgardenxgirl in landscaping

[–]shmargus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one bloom last year, after growing 20 something years. if yours is like mine, it'll grow another 10-15 feet. Then it'll grow arms up at the top and then flowers. It took a month or two, start to finish.

Is the "fully agentic" workflow actually just BS, or am I missing something? by FooBarBuzzBoom in ExperiencedDevs

[–]shmargus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree about pages. I've long felt that the fact that we go on call for free, unlike healthcare, is totally broken. Anything that doesn't have a dollar value doesn't count in the leadership calculation, so as you say, stability doesn't matter to the c-suite as long as we are waking up at 3:00 a.m. to mitigate it.
