@fjzeit All the fucking time. The real kicker is that only by fucking around with half baked ideas can a full solution be reached. It's a bit of a catch 22 and TDD only makes it more costly. Sometimes a good walk is the best solution. Fitting it into a workday is pretty stressful.

Does your brain ever simply refuse to commit to writing code because the problem hasn’t yet been solved in your head and you hate fucking around with half baked ideas? And how do you fit that into a work day?

@Lunar_Luster I didn't win either... although without a ticket I suppose I must expect that, sigh.

I didn't win the lottery again, so I guess I'm going to work tomorrow. AlsoI don't play the lottery.

@Saints_gurl @leesaturnbull @acnewsitics The non-perishables can always be stored until things sort themselves out, the perishables will presumably be write offs and become waste. War is costly I guess.

@leesaturnbull @acnewsitics What will the stores do with the items they've taken down? Didn't they already pay for it?

Canada is not fucking around.

@ADHDForReal Reality: your thinking about the wrong thing entirely.

@slexiesrivera @ivory_cals @wolfbelove @adley_com Must be cultural, I can't see the problem at all (apart from the jerk with the water who needs arresting).

@ivory_cals @wolfbelove @adley_com kissing passionately is one thing. kissing passionately in a VERY public place with a multitude of children, on top of each other, with barely any clothes on is a whole diff thing

@Blaise_Corvin @JoaoSilvaWrites Yep, and also that reading is all about engaging the imagination. So if you show or tell every little detail then my imagination switches off and I'm bored. There's tremendous skill in giving me just enough to fire up my imagination without completely removing the need to imagine

@JoaoSilvaWrites Yup. The problem is a lot of writers think that writing is a science, and forget it's an art. Knowing when and how to break the rules, and when to ignore them completely, is where the magic happens.

Dude, this new obsession in recent books with taking "show, don't tell" almost literally is making some of them unreadable. Not *every* little detail needs to be shown. It just makes for excessively convoluted stories and really, really hurts pacing. Just move the story along!

@mbertulli @mrmanager248 Potentially job creation and increase in local industry... but not in the short term. In the short term it's just going to be higher prices and inflation. Oh, and pissed off allies. Long term it could be a good thing, but boy it'll be painful to get there.

@mrmanager248 What are the benefits here?

I must not be smart enough. But can someone explain how a 25% tariff doesn't get passed onto the customer? Most companies in almost every industry don't have that kind of margin to just absorb it. So this is definitely getting passed on...

@JulesL_art @SawyerMerritt Higher costs generally. Costs on foreign goods usually goes up immediately, local goods will generally rise too as a result of inflation caused by increased cost of imports. Long term you might get more local industries taking over from imports, so maybe more jobs eventually 🤷

@SawyerMerritt How will these impact the ordinary person in any country?

NEWS: Trump has just signed an executive order officially imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, as well as a 10% duty on China. Energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10% tariff. The tariffs are now in effect.

@_Lilzy @SawyerMerritt More likely to go up...

@SawyerMerritt Yes but will egg prices go down now?

@rickpiedade @SawyerMerritt @NeilShah393008 Usually is the correct answer. Sometimes they might get taken out of corporate profits or from corporate reserves when the duration is expected to be short. Occasionally they may be covered by insurance in the short term. Most likely (especially in the USA) they will be passed on

@SawyerMerritt @NeilShah393008 Lol usually

@Lunar_Luster Yep. But, I wouldn't complain about getting either one if someone gave it to me 😂

@JasiekUtah @MomsPostingLs Seems like you saved 75k because clearly the above couple will also be divorced in short order.

@MomsPostingLs I only spent about $5k on my wedding. Of course, I’m divorced now. 😆🤷🏼‍♂️

@Terpin8or @pitdesi @simonsarris "worthwhile" is a pretty nebulous term... do you mean, perhaps, higher paying? Because not everything worthwhile pays a lot.

@pitdesi @simonsarris that is a major driver of it. schools have known for decades which degrees were absolutely worthless and need to steer people out of those degrees into something worthwhile.

Recall one of the most insane graphs ever: After a decade men paid off ~30% of their loans and women paid off ~3% Men pay down student debt and women don't. They have different expectations around college's use and different sensitivity to cost-benefit.

@AnthonyFGomez @elonmusk @SpaceX @Ronhardrock Quite apart from anything else the vast amount of fuel these things take to move would make it impractical - you'd be paying a fortune to lug about vast quantities of ship you don't need just to save a few bucks building what you actually need. Doesn't seem worth it.

Hey @elonmusk and @SpaceX the USS JFK is being scrapped at the Port of Brownsville. You have a convenient opportunity to create an offshore launch platform with a poetic twist. Boat nerds, physics nerds, any reason why this wouldn't be able to carry GSE and a Mechazilla?

@chrismoon2040 @qcapital2020 If Tesla were a car company that would make him a relevant expert. Unfortunately it's aslo an energy company and a robotics company which rather muddies the water. I've no idea if the valuation is valid (most likely not) but treating it as a car maker is a flawed approach.

@qcapital2020 It was written by Ryan Brinkman. I knew him when he was at Bear Stearns. He knows the car industry inside out.

The JP Morgan analyst has had enough LOL

@InterestingSTEM Great, ao now I also have to remember exactly where to place the pans? This is not an advantage.

A revolution in modern kitchens! This innovative device uses advanced invisible induction technology to cook directly on the countertop

@Lunar_Luster The 5th Friday of the year no less 😱

It's Friday! But guys...it's STILL January.

@Rotmm @engadget 🤣🤪🫣

@dgkimpton @engadget Indeed. Mr Damage, the less aggressive driver 😉

NASCAR's driver streams finally bring multiview to Max engt.co/4hhPMq6

@Rotmm @engadget Ah, makes sense... the *other" Max!

@dgkimpton @engadget Maybe it's only for Max Damage. He likes to be right in the action

@Rotmm @engadget Max isn't even in NASCAR, he's in F1... so I've no idea why he would much care about this anyway 🤷

@engadget Why only Max? What about the rest of us?
