At first, I came here to talk shit, but it turns out that the music companies are one of the few sectors more evil than telecoms. I’m pulling for Cox.

Good luck calling them already. A lot of services make it flat out impossible to talk to a human.

Dude, fox news has crammed rural folks’ heads with so much terror, fear, and propaganda that they straight up believe that our cities- the very cities fox broadcasts from- are wartorn hellscapes brimming over with kiddie diddlers, drugs, and random violence. I used to work in a rural community with people that rarely went down to the central valley, and one dude in particular who watched Fox like he was gold medalist in it was always super freaked out anytime he/we went down to the valley. One time, he went to Modesto with another co-worker and, after they walked past one dude going the other way in a hurry, was like “holy shit dude, that was scary, I thought I was going to have to shoot that guy.” Second co-worker was like “dude, wtf is wrong with you, that guy was clearly just in a hurry”, but this clown swore that he felt their lives were in imminent danger.

Right, but there’s lots of studies that show that those parking spaces are actually much more beneficial to everyone- business included- as bike lanes, bus lanes, seating stalls, and nearly anything else besides parking.

The stupid thing here is that mass transit, pedestrians, and cyclists are all way better for small businesses than huge parking lots and enforced car dependency. There’s lots of studies that show that car dependency really only benefits big box stores and big corporate chains. Fucking dumbasses.

Just look at them, sitting there, not getting punched by cops. Is that the world you want to live in, son?

I tried playing 2 again recently because I had the same thought, and I had to stop because my wife would not stop laughing at Rose’s dialogue. God, I wish Kojima had ever met a woman.

Holy smokes, how did I not think to turn the temperature down?! That’s smart! Thanks for getting back to me!

How well? Bet your life on it well, or “fewer hallucinations than we would have guessed” well? I’ve considered and toyed around with openAI models for logging supply room check offs in a JSON format and it went better than I hoped but worse than I needed.

The client wants to drag and drop their own personalized excel file with no guaranteed formatting or column order or data contract in order to import their data into our system <3

Regex

Edit: to everyone who responded, I use regex infrequently enough that the knowledge never really crystalizes. By the time I need it for this one thing again, I haven’t touched it in like a year.

Currently seeing the US climate narrative shift from “why should we stop burning fossils and get our shit together when China won’t? >:(” to “why should we stop burning fossils and get our shit together when Senegal won’t? >:(” Can’t wait for 20 years from now when we’re balls deep in climate disasters, Senegal gets its shit together, and the US narrative moves to honduras El Salvador Uganda comparing itself to the Philippines.

Holy crap you guys, it turns out that the narrative that the developing world is going to burn an ass-ton of fossil fuels is a lot weaker than I thought. It looks like there’s a fuckton of equatorial and global south countries with renewables/hydro power, Honduras is even adding Geothermal. God damn it, USA, get off your ass and fix your shit already.
