I’m pretty perfectionist about some things, but I honestly forget all of the time about this little crease in my phone. I thought I might give a shit before I bought a Motorola Razr last year, and now I often forget that it’s a foldable. Imagine if you will, a phone that actually fucking fits in your jean pockets…it’s worth the little (often invisible) crease.
What can the news do? If they dig into it, he didn’t really make any hard claims to roast.
They can quote him as saying there’s “a large faucet as big as perhaps this building and it takes a day to turn” and say there is no such faucet and move on with their day. That would be a much better thing than what they’ve been doing since 2015 which is this bullshit: trying to find a real life thing to attach his utterances to and then asking him if that was what he was referring to when he clearly wasn’t.
His talent is getting other people to fill in the blanks with his absolutely moronic speeches. For a time, people were arguing that “injecting disinfectant” was a great idea, actually, and trying to find science to back that up. Then he walked it back as a joke because he realized everyone except the brain washed lunatics in the country thought he was an absolute idiot for saying that shit.

It’s not the news media’s job to make a blathering imbecile make sense, and they are doing great harm to the country by treating him this way.
Amidst his weird, almost poetic rambling, the “very large faucet” Trump seems to have been referring to is the Columbia River. The Columbia runs from a lake in British Columbia, down through Oregon and eventually ends up in the Pacific Ocean. Trump’s apparent plan is to somehow divert water from the Columbia and get it all the way down to Los Angeles. However, scientific experts who have spoken to the press have noted that not only is there currently no way to divert the water from the Oregon River to southern California, but creating such a system would likely be prohibitively expensive and inefficient.
The fucking sane-washing continues. He’s not being poetic. He’s not laying out an “apparent plan” that we need to vet with “scientific experts”. He thinks there’s literally a fucking big faucet up there already as big as a building that “takes a day to turn” and he’s the only person smart enough to think of “turning the faucet” or the only one strong-willed enough to kill the smelt for the good of the forests or whatever.
People keep grafting actual concepts onto this absolute moron’s imbecilic utterances and giving him a leg to stand on…just fucking quote the asshole and move on with your day.
He always grips onto and lurches over the lectern as if he’d fall over if it weren’t there.
You’re weak, and you need substances to abuse in order to continue on your pathetic existence.
There are plenty of reasons to drink a beer other than not having the “steel to handle the real world” on your own.
For instance, having to deal with annoying pricks like yourself.
I will also never understand how JavaScript development has gotten so complicated with seemingly zero benefits. It takes minutes to do a “frontend build” and the output grows larger all of the time. I bumped into some Angular crap that was hundreds of megabytes somehow, and still AJAX fetched the same info 4x on page load because the “MVCC” or whatever it’s called didn’t even buy them the abstraction of using the same values multiple times on one page…
Yep, many also think they’re exceptional, and so they’ve convinced themselves they’ll be the exception.
I have developed personalized tools as part of my job and I chose qt to write them in partially because if a company I work for would ever try to commercialize them, they’d have to either buy qt licenses or open source them.
I cheat a bit though because I use qt through python.
He is someone who believes…
I just want to point out that this dude is dead in case you hadn’t heard that piece of good news.
The fact that electron both exists and is one of the most popular cross-platform development frameworks tells you everything you need to know about the current potato’d state of software development.
I bought an Apple TV and it’s pretty damned good to be honest. I’m still rocking the native experience on my bedroom TV but this sounds like that’s going to have to change.
Yes, come on! Let’s keep our creeps straight people!
I tend to grill mine in a foil pouch which isn’t so bad either. I think you could probably grill it directly on the grate too, but there’s more risk of it burning.
Have you tried an oven?
Microwaves just suck for heating up leftover pizza.
It’s kinda like software development…every experienced dev is aware that when management says we’ll do it shitty for now and fix it later that later never comes.
Large corporations only care about one thing profit.
Eh, I’d argue that they care about things other than profit (e.g. power). Look at Leon Musk for example…that guy makes decisions all of the time that aren’t for the benefit of his company’s profitability.
And here’s where everyone jumps all over me …… evaluate the car on its own merits.
One of the car’s merits (or not) is resale value. Musk’s bullshit is highly related to that merit. Another merit (or not) is reliability, and again Musk’s bullshit is highly related to that merit.
Like it or not, people will make purchasing decisions based upon these (and other) things.
Cars are as much a trendy fashion piece for many as they are an item you use to get to places. I mean the grade-school thinking of this dude had him spell out “S3XY” with his car models…so, Tesla and its board are aware of this and have benefited from it. But it’s a double-edged sword, if you’re buying a car as a fashion symbol, you stand a high risk of it becoming pretty worthless if it goes out of style.
Leon had the chance to be the Steve Jobs of EVs, and was for a while. But a cult of personality is also a double-edged sword, and he made the mistake of letting his innermost dumpster fire edgelord personality roam into the public sphere.
They do this shit like it’s their main job. Now they’ve moved on to sane-washing talk of giant faucets in Canada.
