You keep saying that.

You know that 90% of the population lives within 100km of the border, right?

When people don’t know normal things we learned in '92, I get worried.

intergrade

Is that the word you wanted?

If you can qualify, we’d love to have you stay forever. Yay!

Fuel is a tiny cost of restaurant meals. It isn’t zero, but it is much less than 5% of the costs

If you think a 5% jump in operating costs isn’t going to kill most restaurants, you may not understand the thin margins they work with.

Indian subcontractors + AI.

(untrained) Indian subcontractors were the ‘Ai’-like solution of 20 years ago. Your employer is doubling-down on MBA-driven labour fantasies.

forgot there were still keyboards with a numberpad

They can already call me back as it is: I swore an oath to the Queen and the King inherited it. No need to draft me, I’m already on the list.

No one significant; just security people, system architects, build/release people and support people, because of all the best-practice it breaks. Who cares about those chumps?!?

Word splitting and joining is a source of confusion these days. It’s like a “stair case” is part of a contingency plan that may also have a “ladder case”.

But the kids with the “atleast”, “aswell”, “incase”, etc; that’s even more confusing.

Apparently it’s back to cursive as well.

I attended elementary school in the days when we used old paper shopping bags to cover our text books. They were easily 15 years old and we lived in a winter town that got a lot of muddy sloppy snow.

I can confirm there is a path toward text books that last more than 15 years.

If you’ve ever seen a millennial calculate sales tax on a replacement phone then you’re getting the picture.

The only solution is a pivot: the component needs to be dead to us now; and forever, too, as they’ll erode privacy and leak p-i-i at the drop of a hat.

Poor people have a smaller tax burden for their socialized healthcare. “Don’t pay taxes” isn’t a “poor” thing.

LIDAR. They have lidar.

But the comma splice is grounds for rebuttal.

Please also consider mikrotik brand gear. I’ve been told they’re especially easy to manage as one moves from manual control to something declarative like terraform(opentofu).

I dot know about all gen-x but I feel a strong aggressive feeling at ‘bruh’. Maybe the legion of kids saying it so often that you wish for a ‘literally’ as respite has given me opinions.

natural gas

Say methane. It’s methane. It’s the same methane that is like 20x as bad for the environment as gasoline.
