    I’ve been begging to see him tumble down the steps coming out of Air Force One and faceplant on the tarmac ever since his first term. Nothing has changed. That’s my dream scenario of his demise. 

    Imagine if that happened on the maiden flight of his Qatar plane.

    In large enough samples, every possible result occurs. As @Texas Jeff writes I bet that top level coders will recognize AI as a tool to improve their work or efficiency. Lower skilled or lower productivity developers will start recognizing that AI is duplicating their basic work, which puts pressure on them to actually deliver something of value that works. And their sweet $250K job is at risk.

    I imagine like with a lot of professions, the concern also is that more people off load the basics to AI-tools, the less skills they develop to troubleshoot or... get creative when solving for a problem.

    It is an accurate description of the situation. Objectively, it is stupid to not be concerned. People in the exact same situation have had their visas cancelled and been deported. Chances are pretty good it'll happen to her as well. 

    Well, let’s be fair. It’s a possibility for it to happen to her. How probable? That’s the rub these days, unfortunately… and it would appear he isn’t without resources, so who knows how far along they are already with the process. 

  4. One of the great joys of living in the north bay that I DO miss greatly was a short drive to Hog Island Oysters and shucking a dozen Kumamotos paired with some crusty bread.

    Honesty, do we really need month long celebrations for anything? I don't care if groups want to hold celebrations or awareness campaigns for themselves or their cause, but come on.

    I kind of get the sentiment but also think back to the origin of having some of these days/months and what it meant for the people. 

    It’s not like I fly my AAPI flag when it’s May but it still feels nice to know there’s some recognition or highlight of the community  

    Also I think you’re underestimating how easy it would be for those in power to erase people’s history.

    This right fucking here.  And add Idaho in as well. It may as well be Northwestern Pennsyltukcibama. 

    Did couple of roadtrips from the Bay Area to Oregon border. Couldn't drive through some of those dilapidated small towns fast enough. I only kinda felt safe, no joke traveling around some parts of northern Idaho cause I was with two friends that grew up there.

    Does anyone know how Lonni got access to Dedra’s files? Was that ever mentioned?

    Thanks.  Looks like that's targeted more at espresso grinds.  Is their Encore model equally good?

    It’s actually a popular choice for all-around purposes but can also handle espresso.

    I love coffee, but I'm not very discerning.  I have a sneaking suspicion I could be perfectly happy with a pourover or a French press (both of which I won) and a great burr grinder (which I don't own).  My grinder is passable at best.  That might be a good father's day gift -- any recs in the $200 range-ish?

    How much did you have to pay?  I had a 60 foot Arizona Ash removed down to a stump for $1000 which I thought wasn't too bad.

    It's been a few year now but I think it was around 1,300 to 1,500. So your quote seems really reasonable!

    and I think that's a hackberry tree so a shit tree too, protected by the city.

    I'm still slightly bitter about how much $$$ I had to pay to have one removed at my old home, because it developed a crack and I was trying to do the right thing and not have it fall on my neighbors.
