@drob I only do it in things that are already monstrosities, like SparkSQL

My least favorite coding practice is leading commas in SQL 🤢

@strowhiro Drive 1.5 hours to the airport, have a cheaper nonstop flight on a better plane, and not have to do an overnight because of NIMBYs in Newport Beach :)
English
For a cross-country flight, would you rather:
1️⃣ drive 1.5 hrs to the airport but have a direct flight; or
2️⃣ fly out of your local airport but have a 1.5-hr layover?

@constans You're forgetting a desire to push neoclassical economics into wholly inappropriate areas of the world.

University of Chicago has suffered badly from this. It used to be it was a school for people who would do stuff like stay up for 3 days straight reading Heidegger without showering, & now it’s just another place for people with high grades and SAT scores who didn’t get into Yale

Re: NYU every elite college is the same now. Competition so high that all the kids apply to 20 schools and just go to the one they get into. So every student body is just mostly just randomly distributed upper middle class kids. There’s no ‘school character’ anymore

@StrategicTrends "BTW, what replaced the B-52?"
"Yeah... about that..."

I want to go back in time to like 1974 and explain to the Joint Chiefs the current state of NATO
"So yeah V Corps HQ is now stationed in Poland"
"POLAND? WHAT?"
"Yeah since the Russians invaded Ukraine the Baltics and Poland want an increased NATO presence"
"THEYRE IN NATO!?"

@dieworkwear What you're being too polite to say is that the waist covering also hides the little bit of a paunch (or lot in my case) that we develop around 35. Wearing the visual transition point lower makes that look more and more obvious because of the way the eye perceives monochrome.

@A_DungeonDelver Thanks. I have struggled to even watch Star Trek since realizing that about a decade ago.

Good morning Star Trek fans! Just a friendly reminder that transporters KILL YOU and a convenient copy is plonked down wherever it was pointed at.

@KaiInRealLife Some variants of Battletech allowed pretty free transition between the various modes of the game.

Is there a TTRPG where everyone plays as Ace star fighter pilots? Like., You can roleplay out of your ship, and play a character, but majority of missions are in a star fighter and you have your squad. Yes, I have been obsessing over starfox 64 recently…

@IntNostalgia An imperial Star destroyer dropping in to a fight I was winning in X-Wing and the sudden imperial march

Huh, is that something folks would be down for? I’m still organizing things, but maybe sometime…?

@strowhiro No matter how in shape you think you are for golf, it's different on a course. You start using all the little muscles so much differently and more actively than you do on a range.
English
After a couple months of lessons & range practice, I’m hitting the golf course for the first time this Friday! Playing the back 9. What’s something you wish you knew before your first round?

@Ghosty02772504 @Krikalitika @ask_aubry I got one to monitor the pet bird when I wasn't home. Mostly I use it to reassure myself I closed the front door.

@TieflingMelissa I think they heavily weighted resource management. All of the highs have lots of x/period abilities, while the lows don't really do that at low level, assuming that the classes haven't changed much.

The first page of Chapter 2: Creating A Character from the 2024 Player's Handbook has been revealed
WotC have now ranked classes by complexity, what do you think of their choices? 🤔
I'd personally rank Barbarian Low, and Wizards High due to the sheer amount of spells they get
English
@alliekmiller It's the same refrain to a different verse. Apple has spent significant effort to make privacy its public face. They'd be saying that no matter who the leader was. Normally they take potshots at Google, and everyone kind of nods their head while rolling their eyes at the low bar.
English
Wow, surprised at the level of privacy FUD we're getting in this Apple keynote.
"A brand new standard for privacy in AI"
"Groundbreaking privacy protections"
Largely feels like a knock to Microsoft.

@JenLRossman I never got the sense that the show was endorsing the relationship. The closest thing Veronica has to a healthy relationship is pretty weird, and that one isn't it.
English
Hey so I like max Greenfield's character on Veronica Mars but he is definitely an adult man smooching a 17-year-old right?
English
@writeclimbrun I've heard of this. Anyone I know that does it permanently (compared to with a newborn) seems to go buggy eventually. Seems like if this were a god idea, organizations where alertness matters, like NASA, would use it.
English
@MrAndyCutler It depends on the business. Back when I was public sector, we liked Capex because it committed us less, down the line (though that changes in organizations that are shrinking). It was a huge conversation for us wrt cloud viability.

@Fey_Fatale @CriticalBard But my actual reaction to someone frustrated by this would be, "let's step outside the game for a bit, x, are you having fun with this? How can we all have fun? Do we want to play differently?"
English
@Fey_Fatale @CriticalBard What's odd to me here is that you're assuming that the description always makes it easier, rather than more specific.
English
@Fey_Fatale @CriticalBard If you tell me, yeah. Since I know nothing about blades combat, though, be ready for "does that help you or hurt you?" as a question.
English
@EduDataSci @CriticalBard Okay, so you're going to start adjudicating all of that for combat forms too, right? Which specific style are you using versus their specific point of defense?
