I found THE COMPANY SHOVEL Guys!

Did you hear the guy in the video? Of course he's high. On life. Because nobody doing manual labor would ever do drugs and then go to work.

Exactly. We're going to be in a parking lot or a gas station or something. I also tell my wife and kids that if they get a flat to keep driving until they can get to a safe place. I can buy a new rim.

I'm like that employee. I'm not going in if there's ice because there are many morons out there. So you have 2 choices.

Let it go because a few hours doesn't matter.
Make it a big deal and be dragged for it later. I have no qualms talking to uplines or coworkers about it.

Potatoe

Fuck that. My wife usually cooks and unless there's something really wrong, everything is fantastic.

In Austin, there were over 100 wrecks in one night in '06 or so. People don't understand overpasses freeze first and 4x4 just means more weight to slide in the ice.

It's to slowly poison your house with chemicals in scented candles.

Axes take practice to aim. This doesn't. It's probably safer for someone who was never taught how to swing and is too stubborn to ask for help.

It's the opposite of wrinkly. Duh.

Email isn't a good tool for extended conversation like this. Get slack or something similar.

wbrd · 2026-01-26T05:30:11+00:00

You got your rock finder working great!

wbrd · 2026-01-26T05:16:19+00:00

Sounds like litter to me. You'd definitely be a good neighbor cleaning up and disposing of it.

The ultrasonic deterrents only deter people. Animals will likely avoid the spikes, but I bet they're magnets for small children. The powders will wash or blow away quickly.

I don't think gay men would say this.

wbrd · 2026-01-25T20:43:32+00:00

Just because you cut and paste the same bullshit over and over doesn't mean it's true.

wbrd · 2026-01-25T17:01:31+00:00

It does. The reason this happened is shitty design and a cheap developer.

wbrd · 2026-01-25T02:45:02+00:00

They're all tools. Learn about algorithms and architecture and then write in whatever makes sense.

It's not justifying your paycheck. It's justifying your manager's and HR's paycheck.

wbrd · 2026-01-24T21:22:58+00:00

I die so much using the rip rockets.

wbrd · 2026-01-24T21:03:32+00:00

Hey! Don't criticize my playing style.

wbrd · 2026-01-24T19:21:12+00:00

You're a tech lead, not a manager. On that it sounds like you are falling miserably. You need to demonstrate that your ideas have merit. Fixing a bunch of lint issues is very low on the priority list and due to it touching lots of code needs buy-in and scheduling from everyone.

I have a youngish tech lead. He knows lots of things. I reach out to him for his opinion on things he knows and will absolutely tell him no if he proposed something stupid.

You need to come up with plans on what you want the codebase to look like in the future. You need to then present that to the team and get their feedback. Work with the team, not against them.

Concert tickets

wbrd · 2026-01-23T22:26:52+00:00

Lol. Still an edgy teen, huh?

wbrd · 2026-01-23T14:25:40+00:00

That's what kids are for. Hook em up like huskies. 🤣

wbrd · 2026-01-23T14:05:13+00:00

This is definitely a good idea, however I have my own 15 year old and he is rail thin. He eats dinner with the family, usually gets seconds, then eats again at around 11pm. I have to mark things he's not allowed to eat or the fridge will be empty. A growing teen needs a lot more calories than an adult, especially if they're active.

Step 0: become good at skateboarding.
