Yeah, but the restrictions are also getting loosened to fill some of the positions. So we’re getting the people we never thought should be on the police force either 😬 at least that’s the case in Chicago. It makes for a worse experience over time.

Don’t get me wrong, there is so much reform that’s needed still. If there’s an emergency I am calling the police, and I’d like someone who knows what they’re doing to respond.

Is there a playbook you find effective to achieve his goal, and what is the timeline?

I find it hilarious that the image is of Google Play and the title used the word “this”. Pretty misleading

The more expensive Bike+ does it, but not the regular one. It’s a hard sell given the price difference.

This looks amazing. I’m impressed you even have the little stainless steel containers.

Hot damn! That looks amazing 🤩

All the HELL IS REAL and anti-abortion billboards too.

The Chicago as a reference point had me cracking up.

Just another 500 miles and I’ll be home!

This links to Reddit, but I can’t even view the article because I’m not logged in. Do you have an alternative link?

I’ve read about a dozen of his works, and probably more if you count short stories. I really enjoy his writing style. I started with the Homeland series and have gone backwards and forwards. His latest work reads similar to Neil Gaiman’s in a sense that I’m hooked and drawn into a new universe. Homeland was EXCELLENT. His earlier stuff is really creative and very detailed. The way he breaks down and describes how tech works is accurate and detailed. He’s got 4 short stories that make up a works called Radicalized that really well describe the awful experience some people get fiscally locked into in tech.

TLDR: yes.

What a masterpiece 🫰

I’m a spice enthusiast. The level of pain and suffering I received there just before starting my 8 hour drive home from Nashville that day was brutal. 8/10 no regerts

You can certainly get it to-go. I usually start with a fork and knife and then switch to handheld about midway through.

It looked cool. I don’t think I made it past 15 minutes. They wanted to tell me a story with words, not show me a story through actions and emotion. I know, it’s early and they needed to establish a background, but I couldn’t take it.

My Nvidia 1070 with 8gb vram is still playing all of my games. Not everything gets Ultra, nor my monitor isn’t 4K. Forever I am the “value buyer”. It’s hard to put money into something that is marginally better though. I thought 16g would be a no-brainer.

That’s a very well put together overview. Thanks for taking care of this!

Damnnng that looks 😋 have you added chorizo to that? I’m enamored by that possibility.

“I’d buy that for a dollar”

Ohhh damn that looks tasty. A good choice indeed!

My understanding is that when signing a liability waiver, first the acknowledgement of risk happens, and then the release of liability. State by state it can be a little bit different for releasing liability, depending on the interpretation. I looked up where I live, and that liability waiver isn’t upheld if one can prove damages (possibly death, in which case someone has to sue upon my lifeless corpse) caused by intentional recklessness, not simply neglect.

That’s upsetting. Running a load test weeks ahead of time to identify the upper bounds of app and infrastructure would have be a good idea… But 🤷‍♂️ I’ve lived through large marketing initiatives where us engineers were not involved and didn’t forecast a need to scale beyond normalcy before too.
