@mcinthedc I am a fan of an ensure max protein as a meal replacement in that case.

I feel like there is a middle ground between spending $25 at Chipotle and eating hard tack on white bread. Like I would venture that 90% of options are between these extremes. I'm having a can of Chicken Salad ($2-ish) and a premade Protian Shake ($ 2.5-ish) for lunch today

young americans arent demanding a $30 lunch everyday. theyre demanding dignity. you shouldnt have to eat hard tack on white bread to afford to live, youre an american. if a shriveled old goblin tells you to be happy with less, they are your enemy, and they are an enemy of america

@Fremond_ @GrantRafferty You can turn the volume down on them.

@GrantRafferty This is another reason why I go to the counter at Waitrose. I’d rather the old lady!

I get exhausted by too much noise. The clanging, the beeping, the sirens. It’s too much. So it’s no surprise the thing I appreciate the most about China is the quiet.
Because nearly every single car is now an EV, the streets are much quieter and more peaceful. Long live communism, I guess.

Every negative stereotype about Germans is actually about Austrians.

@s8mb I moved to LA two years ago, if you think the Yodas are ratty you should see the Elmos in Hollywood or Venice Beach.
English
@alexmcan Wow, that's mad. The amplifiers I can just about understand, but the Yodas are intolerable. Ratty and vaguely menacing.
English
@s8mb I love the floating yodas, and don't mind the odd amplifier – but I respect your opinion. I assumed you were like Lord Vetinari with his irrational hatred of mimes, which I can also understand and respect.
English
@alexmcan I don’t, he’s misremembering. I hated the chalk beggars and Yoda impersonators at Trafalgar Square, who were obstructing a major thoroughfare with crap. Now that they’ve been licensed, like Covent Garden, it’s much improved - though I would still prohibit the use of amplifiers.

@Mount_Zion438 This was more of a tweet for my German friends than a real thought.

@ThePrimeagen Agents all think in python anyway, that’s their favourite language.
English
I see literally nothing new in this language as far as i can tell and the compiler seems to be a disaster
English
I have reviewed the language and really tried to understand this, but I really do not understand this language's purpose other than engineers with too much free time, free tokens, and a marketing budget.
I was very excited to read about a language is "agent's first." Its just zig with a touch of java and rust...
Chris Tate@ctatedev
Introducing Zero The programming language for agents. I wanted a systems language that was faster, smaller, and easier for agents to use and repair. Explicit capabilities. JSON diagnostics. Typed safe fixes. Made for agents on day zero.

@andrew_lilico @garyb_pro Crazy to assume anyone close to power in Great Britain knows what good policy looks like.
English
There's no "Brexit Economic Model". Brexit didn't create an economic policy. It changed the way in which policy was made (who made our laws & how). There was a transitional cost of Brexit, of course (it was a big change): ~1-2% of GDP. We'd recover that over time with good policy
Ben Judah@b_judah
Oh, don’t agree here. The OBR estimate is in my opinion definitely an underestimate and most professional economist agree. And there is no politics and no campaign without informing people of the huge costs of the Brexit Economic Model on them. For your average city dweller that’s over two months a year of their genuinely discretionary spending.
English
@JeremiahDJohns Can’t get out of the old ebbit grill without spending at least $30 per head, but you can still dine like a king at Lincoln’s waffle shop for ten bucks.
English
I do not think that lunch costs an average person twenty eight united states dollars
If anyone is having trouble finding lunch for less than twenty eight united states dollars please give your location and dietary restrictions and I'd be happy to coach you on basic life skills.
Sean Padraig McCarthy@SeanMcCarthyCom
Lunch just costs $28 now. Are they not supposed to eat?

Hmm lots of friends doing mats. Perhaps I. Should visit SF again

I've been woodworking recently, and it's informed me more about why I love my craft, and how I'm mourning the demise of the craft aspect of it.

@paulg I've not mastered auctions since moving stateside. Any tips?
English
@alexmcan You can get them cheaper at auction. And since they're quartz that's a safer bet; you don't have to worry about the movement being compromised.
English
I took several watches to my favorite (but somewhat crusty German) watchmakers to be serviced. Among them was one I recently bought for Jessica.
Watchmaker (seeing the Cartier case): Qvuartz!
Me: No, no! It's manual wind! Don't be fooled by the case.

@htmx_org Will you do an htmx rocks jumper in time for Christmas?
English
you: stressed about ai, desperately trying to code mog your fellow engineers in front of bored, indifferent PMs who are planning on firing all of you anyway (they'll get fired first)
my guy: buying an htmx sucks santa sweater set for delivery mid june

Imagine calling a failed holocaust a catastrophe because it failed, rather than because it was bad. I would die of shame.
English
Fun fact, it’s called the catastrophe because they failed to exterminate all the Jews in that bit of the Middle East (they have driven out or killed all of us in all the other Arab states, don’t worry. 😉)
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

@Biggiethelad1 Next time you’re in town you need to head down to LA!

(Also helps all the incredible people I got the chance to talk to here as well)
