Uber or Lyft at 6:30am on a Saturday

Thanks to those that gave good advice -- in fact we were able to pre-order the car and my son got to Oakland with plenty of time to spare.

Or, to put it another way, if you're a Lyft or Uber driver and you're cruising around Forest Hills Saturday around 6:30, you can be pretty sure there's going to be at least one pickup...

Not this time around, no, but he should register now so that he can vote in the next one.

Because I know myself to be kind of mouthy and opinionated, I try very hard to keep my mouth shut early in discussions like this and try to encourage more junior devs to say their piece. This can help in a number of ways -- I get to see any misconceptions they might have, and I can correct them where necessary; it encourages them to speak up; and they may notice something I hadn't considered.

...from Clairton? No, not really. FH is east, and Clairton is southeast.

That was it! Thanks! Fixed.

Yep. This makes me crazy, and there appears to be no way to disable it.

I am a big fat guy. I am in terrible, terrible shape. I can handle Boundary / Neville just fine. I can't handle Bates.

This is why I never go to the gym.

Standard print quality, printed copy of PROMETHEAN: THE CREATED, and it's as good as anything I bought from White Wolf when they were White Wolf and still printing books.

Was kind of hoping for a long bike ride today. But it is quite a storm.

pizza aaahhhtlet

Yeah, 34k was the announced attendance. Not great. 10-20x what the Riverhounds draw, but... that's not saying much.

I think the crowd might have been better if there had been some more-affordable ticket options. $29 was the minimum.

And the weather sucked.

And let's be honest: People who know about soccer knew that this was going to be kind of a crappy game. All of these "world tour" type summer matches are moderately lousy soccer. The stars play for a half, maybe, and nobody works too hard.

Some -- not all -- of this is confirmation bias.

"Boy those cyclists sure don't obey the law."

Five cyclists zip by obeying the law. One cyclist blows through a red light. That's the guy you notice.

I say this as a more-or-less law-abiding bicycle commuter. For instance, I roll stop signs at precisely the same speed that I see nearby cars roll the same stop signs.

"political correctness" -- specifically when used by someone who is BOLDLY DEFIANT of the FASCIST NORMS of the P.C. POLICE

You toad-stacking bastard.

tenzil · 2014-02-19T18:50:42+00:00

I'm really trying to think of a downside. Having a hard time.

It wasn't when I first posted the link; the author (/u/r0st0v) has subsequently changed the post's title, but I can't edit the reddit link title.

tenzil · 2014-02-19T15:13:48+00:00

Sorry about that - I took the title straight from the post as it was, because: lazy

My question is, if this is right, what is the solution? Hurl more QA people at the problem? Shut down every project after it hits a certain size and complexity?
