  1. Lulz 40 billion to argentina says hi Have the water you voted for
  2. If only it had spelled it “stollen”
  3. Laws against dranking and driving is woke, y’all https://youtu.be/2xcQIoh3FQQ?si=_rKaSuBAZENq2uLY
  4. My queued up response to this is: “Oh! so you’re cool with the executive branch disregarding the judicial branch?” If dullard says yes Response: “So you’re not in favor of the constitution? Not into the 2nd amendment are we?” That being said, this argument has lost its luster this year.
  5. Or, an understanding of history and its subsequent effect on current day. I always have this loaded up for whenever a stupid (my dad or his buddies) start berating woke. Being from oklahoma, there is an inexplicable soft spot for the plight of native americans amongst the most ardent right wingers. The set up: The cherokee were one of the five “civilized “ tribes as I learned in oklahoma history. They took the US to the supreme court to prevent their land from being taken. The cherokee won their case in the supreme court. Then andrew jackson sent the us military to force the cherokee to walk from south carolina, traverse the mississippi river, and walk to oklahoma along what is now known as the trail of tears. Many died along the way. I then pose the question: do you believe that the cherokee were put in a disadvantageous position? The answer is always a “well.. yeah” My response: “congratulations! You’re woke!” With a big motherfucking smile.
  6. It’s very useful to write code. I’ve commented several times in this thread with examples where it’s helped me. I’m not a developer. I pay like $30 a month for claude. It’s well worth it. My use case, and others like me, in no way justify the billions invested in ai.
  7. I’ve already sent her the link
  8. I scored big this year. I got a couple new patagonia fleece jackets with explicit instructions to toss out my old school north face one that acts as a magnet for cat and dog hair. I got a Made In griddle that I just seasoned. Big score was a brisket BBQ class at Goldies Already told my wife that she can expect me to come away from the class with a need for a smoker. Wife made out pretty well. Ralph Lauren purse, a 1967 first press of The Master and Margarita by Harper and Roe, and a legit oasis los angeles tshirt with the pop up store tag because she wants the original because reasons. We went to a chicago and LA show; I wasn’t going to wait in the pop up store line in hollywood after spending 4 hours doing that in chicago. It was harder to find the oasis shirt than the book from 1967.
  9. Or, if the regular military is insufficient due to being engaged in a war in, say venezuela.
  10. Well yeah. Santa is importing stuff. Need to levy some tariffs.
  11. Our annual tenderloin from central market
  12. That’s probably true. But their incompetence becomes my problem.

    I have always dug Driving South. Listening to it now. This is the One is another great track from from debut
  14. claude helped me write two oracle stored procedures that repairs data our packaged fulfillment application fubars. Got them tested and deployed to production in a few hours. claude wrote a complex query for me this morning that looks at orders that our fubared fulfillment system doesn’t send the shipment message to our OMS so that stores and customers can get their shipment information and we can recognize revenue. I asked our DBA two weeks ago for help configuring oracle in AWS to enable email notifications based on an oracle trigger. No response. I’m gonna ask claude about it tomorrow and send the DBA instructions on how to do it. I’ve done a couple weeks worth of work in about a day.

    A couple songs on Stephen Wilson Jr’s cover album “Blankets” and one from son of dad album
  16. When I evaluate candidates for a position, I begin by listing a clear definition of the must have skills, preferred skills, and nice to have skills. These go in the job listing. I put a weight of 1-10 for each of these skills: 10 being the most important and 1 being the least important. I evaluate each resume against these skills and give them a rating from 1-5. 5 being the best. My spreadsheet then gives a point rating of sum(skill weight * candidate rating). Highest scores are candidates for an interview. I told HR that I’d prefer not to have names on the resumes to eliminate any subconscious bias. My team is technical so I get some candidates with bachelor degrees in india so it’s impossible to rate all candidates blindly. I assumed everyone had a similar approach.
  17. I put a pic of the characters in google translate hoping for more awesomeness. I am disappoint. Results: gibberish
  18. Transcript of the latest signal chat. OPSEC is clean.
  19. You could do one of those custom russian nesting doll things. 2025 theme trump > maxwell > epstein 2026 theme - oligarchs trump > elon > karp > bezos > zuck 2027 theme - tyranny trump > putin > xi Make it an annual tradition. The anticipation of the yearly theme will be palpable.
  20. Once again, I’m the outlier. I’m working through a complex parcel shipping server and fulfillment system messaging issue, and the infrastructure team recommended a load balancer to throttle the traffic to the currently overwhelmed parcel system complete with SYN, ACK, PSH, FIN messages. I described what the infra team recommended for a Monday action plan meeting and asked claude to make some images. 10 minutes of prompts resulted in pretty good images to facilitate the proposed multi-phase solution discussion with non-technical leadership. Sorry snagit. Haters gonna hate.
