Anyone have a non-paywall link to the video?

Wait, so they dusted it with cocoa powder and then put those frosting dollops on top of that? The lid might have been the only thing holding those in place.

Both supporters and detractors will buy them, someone’s going to get rich.

You can’t arrest me for pretending to be a diplomat, I have diplomatic immunity!

I tried to find the place with a reverse image search, but also if the hits (there are quite a number) are to collections of pics of the worst home interiors.

I think we might be agreeing, it’s just that “mediocre” means different things to each of us. My team supports human spaceflight, and no one we have is crummy. The “mediocre” people have pretty decent technical skills if you’re looking across all software development domains.

Personally, I’ve found the decent technical skills to be easier to come by than the other ones, and having all of them in one package is a real discriminator.

People have those things in spectrums, not all or nothing. You have to have at least some of all of them, but I’d argue that mediocre competency with really good communication and accountability is a better combination that really good competency with one of the others being mediocre.

I’m halfway through scrolling this long thread, and this is the first comment I’ve seen that isn’t overly cynical. It’s also correct.

I’ve been working for 38 years, and I’ve been someone who makes promotion decisions for 15 of them. The third one is helpful, not essential, but the others are super important. The people who rise to leadership positions aren’t necessarily the top technical people, they’re the ones who do those things with a good attitude.

The other thing I’d add is that they’re people who are able to see the big picture and how the details relate to it, which is part of strategic thinking.

It’s funny, I was sitting on the couch browsing Lemmy on my tablet when my phone made a weird notification sound. Pulled it out and it said it was an earthquake warning. I sat there like an idiot thinking “WTF is that about” when the room started shaking and I remembered we have an early warning system.

You know, it’s not cool to have an earthquake when it’s pouring rain outside. I was 1.5 miles from the epicenter of the Northridge quake, and had to get out of my apartment, but at least it was a beautifully clear night outside. No fair doubling up on destructive phenomena (though neither Hilary or the quake looks like they’ll cause any significant problems where I am).

Isn’t it still a state crime even if it’s moved to a federal court? Still state charges and state standards.

This looks great, for sure will try. Kind of similar to a cobbler.

Absolutely! Maybe even mid-December.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem with stores selling holiday stuff way in advance of the holiday. Some people want to get their decorations all lined up, be working on crafts, or whatever. What I object to is when stores decorate for the holiday way in advance. I don’t want to see Christmas trees and snow men in October or pumpkins and witches in July.

Yeah, I hear you - I have an intense sugar addiction, and eat an absolutely disgusting amount of chocolate (see username). At least otherwise I eat pretty healthy.

By the way, the reason milk is in so much is because of how much cheese we eat. When they make cheese, they separate out the whey, which they used to throw away, but now they use in stuff. It has a lot of names: whey, lactose, milk solids, and others. If you’re lactose intolerant, you have to watch for that for the same reason you don’t have to worry much about hard cheeses: the lactose is mostly in the whey, which comes out of the cheese.

Yeah, came to say the same. I’m different though, I know I’m addicted to it.

I assume I’d need to do that on a desktop, correct? I’ve been exclusively mobile, but could give it a try.

Outdoor cats have a shorter average life span in cities, too. One big cause is cars. Also, it’s worth noting that house cats are essentially an invasive species and do a lot of damage to bird populations.

It’s pretty widely recommended to keep cats indoors.

On that score, there’s not much use trying to reason it out. The 4chan types seem to like kicking down other people’s sandcastles. It doesn’t buy them anything, they just seem to get off on increasing unhappiness.

As you can see, I posted this from a different instance, so I get that, but I’ve spent a lot of time subscribing to things from my .world account and it works take a long time to duplicate that on an alt, so my preference would be to stay there as my default.

It’s hard to align “kind” with supporting DeSantis policies. Is she a one-issue voter who looks at something like abortion and dismisses everything else? Because the guy is responsible for a lot of suffering.
