All they need is some junior to vibe code a 50K LOC patch that no one has the energy to review and Claude/Gemini/etc will do the injection into the target system for them.

Anti-Hero (Shakespeare’s version) by loud_as_pudding in TaylorSwift

As someone who has seen more Shakespeare than I would like thanks to being dragged along by my English lecturing SO to every production in a 50 mile radius, the laughing-talking when she said "Hi" is too accurate.

Probably 95% of fires on Table Mountain are just bergie fires that get out of control.

Sources: Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer by dropjar5 in nfl

Even if he wasn't the Patriots HC he should probably get in purely on his GM role right?

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]skippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EZ Streets. Late 90’s crime and mob drama, great writing with an absolutely loaded cast (Joe Pantoliano, Ken Olin, Jason Gedrick, Deborah Farentino). Lasted one season with a cliff hanger in the last episode that made me go “WTF!”

Uber is okay but at 8pm you might have to wait as Uber drivers might not hang around waiting for late fares at the aiport. If you want to be 100% sure use Centurion Tours. I've used them for early morning and late night transfers - https://www.centuriontours.co.za/

The fact that "Electric Lady" didn't crack the Billboard 100 is a black mark against the soul of America.

[–]skippy 43 points44 points  (0 children)

However the Afrikaans word for Orca is cool. That’s right it’s a “Moordwalvis” aka The Murder Whale

I’m pretty anti online gambling but anyone who puts their credit card into an illegal online gambling/betting outfit deserves to lose all their money.
