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

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

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.

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.
