@teej_dv @DeveloperMask If you go to Chipotle you can turn $50 into $1.40 and you get a decent burrito too.

@DeveloperMask i've turned $50 into $1.40 many times

is this true @teej_dv

After folks laughed at AOC for not knowing vaquero history, I knew Wikipedia would alter their meaning to fit hers, so I took a screenshot, and they finally did rewrite it. Wiki removed vaquero from 'The origins of the vaquero tradition come from Spain...'

idea: instead of having a single connector operate at multiple voltages without warning, what if we had some way to exchange information between charger and device so they can negotiate an appropriate voltage. call it "power delivery". could we use usbc and barrel jack for this?

Take the L. We don’t want your amnesty bill. We don’t want your euphemisms. We want to deport the illegals. Move on.

@DefiantBaptist @imbrettcooper You will lead a happier life if you just ignore the RW e-girls. Block if you have to. Starve them of the attention they so desperately crave.

This is incredible. Femcon influencer @imbrettcooper talks about long it took (5 months) for her to feel like Brett again after giving birth, despite having a literal village at her disposal! 🤯 But hang on, five months after her baby was born would be 2/7/2026, right before she went to New York Fashion Week to flirt with Clavicular, in person as well as in DMs. Is she saying that her audacious behavior is what it looks like to “feel like Brett”? Sure seems like it! 😬😬😬😬😬

@Mericamemed I worked on an manufacturing assembly line that had a white floor with black specks on it, and of course all the screws we used were tiny and black. We would joke that the floor used to be white before the interdimensional void parts were painted on.

All physics is out the window when you drop a screw.

Why take half measures. Why not set the minimum wage at £500 an hour? £1,000? £2,000? Everyone will be rich and there will be no problems. I can't believe no one has ever thought of this.

As an electrical engineer, I still support Trans Day of Visibility in 2026. It's about time people acknowledged the great contribution this hardworking device brings to the community. Unlike the other transwhatever."

This is one of the most perfect things the internet has ever created.

@elvin_not_11 Best I can do with clicking three times is maybe get the start menu to open once.

it's beautiful that I can traverse through 25 years of UI design history by clicking 3 times on Windows 11.

@YouSpooneeBard This makes so much sense! I wonder why Jesus never told a parable like this...

🧵The parable of the Tickets: A world-class cellist had four friends. “Here are four tickets to my upcoming performance. I’d love for you to come.” The cellist gave each of his friends one ticket.

I graduated college right after I turned 21 with a degree in Chemical Engineering. I looked like I was MAYBE 18. My first job was as a Process Engineer in a factory that made molded polyurethane foam seat parts for cars. The factory had been around for a number of decades, and was unionized (UAW). The average seniority of the union workers was 25 years! I was idealistic and assumed everyone went to work to do a good job and help the company succeed. Boy, did I learn some life lessons those first couple of years! As a Process Engineer my job was primarily to make sure the production line kept running and was making “good parts.” A few months after starting I was moved to the second shift (3-11pm), and once management left at around 5pm, the only non-union workers in the building were myself and the Shift Supervisor. I learned that many of the union workers liked to play games with me by stopping the production line in creative ways. I quickly figured out how to solve the problems they created to keep the line running, but there were some methods they used that - because of the union contract - would require a union maintenance man to come “fix” the issue. The maintenance men of course played the game, too, so would take their time when “troubleshooting” the issue so the line remained stopped for longer. I then realized that in most cases I was better off just fixing the issue myself and have the company pay the union for the inevitable grievance that would be filed. Those experiences very much influenced by views of unions. Ironically, a number of years after I had moved on from that factory, there was a proposed union contract on the table - that they were told needed to be accepted in order for the factory to stay open - that was voted down, so the place in now closed, and has since been demolished. Those were interesting times…

@JesseKellyDC Min-maxxing, as it were.

I refuse to believe everyone is maxxing as much as they claim. Some of you are doing the bare minimum and calling it maxxing. Others are doing more than the bare minimum, but still not maxxing.

The tricky thing about dealing with 12 year old rapists is their age. It presents complicated problems like "how much longer does the drop from the gallows platform need to be to make sure the impact snaps their neck?"

Time for a reminder that there are still 13 states with a Republican trifecta in government that have not passed mandatory E-Verify for all businesses. American workers deserve better from state leaders. There is no justification for illegal labor.

for years, society was limited to only 16 syrup squares per waffle but with recent combinatorial optimization breakthroughs our research department has achieved previously unheard of densities of waffle syrup

No, we don't need a slur for cyclists. To call someone a slur is to try to dehumanize them. Since cyclists aren't people, so there's no need for a slur. It would be like having a slur for cockroaches or mosquitoes.
