Yeah. Looks like it.

It’s a gas station in Seattle.

Is it possible that we get less natural UV protection from the atmosphere now? I’m just making a wild guess but we’ve had so many environmental changes and climate change has made summers so much more severe.

Yeah, I haven’t done it in like 8 months so I think I was conflating Code Push with App Store updates. I do think that apps get treated differently based on the priority of the company and there is some judgement used in the scope of changes. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if Grok is never subject to the random review delays just cuz no one wants to deal with Elon throwing a tantrum

Nah. It’s most likely not that direct. If the boss makes it clear that they measure productivity by blindly adhering to some dumb metric (number of updates , kloc, number of bugfixes) then the devs will find a way to max out that stat, to get bonuses, promos, etc.

As much as the author has shown his ass, this is the classic comic that comes to mind https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/k5hka0/bug_free_programs_a_dilbert_classic/

Because their boss is an idiot who will yell at them if they don’t.

If you pay by the update, devs will update their way to a nice payday .

Minor updates for bugfixes don’t require a real store review.

No. No, we are not even close to OK.

We need this energy in the US. None of these ghouls should be able to get any goods and services anywhere. I recall seeing the crowd boo when he went to a play, but I didn’t see a headline like “play canceled “ or “vance forced to leave after audience refused to stop booing “. It’s not enough to let them know that they are hated, they need a full on shunning. They need actual consequences.

I know I’m not trying to visit any red states anytime soon. I have some inlaws in red states and they better stay alive and healthy for the next 3.5 years or I will be FaceTimeing into any familial obligations

And/or a pint of heavy cream.

Although, there is absolutely amazing indulgent food in Los Angeles. There is great healthy food but it isn’t all Erwhon smoothies.

I wonder if that could be considered an ADA violation since some autistic folks may be overwhelmed by the super sudden and loud noise?

I’ve def seen them in Seattle

I default to having a meltdown, smashing the screen, yelling “where is the goddamn mute button”.

Is this unhinged, yes. But if we all did it, they would eventually get the message.

Really though, I mostly get gas at Costco cuz it’s cheaper and they don’t do that shit.

Wow. So he was just too geeked out on K to complain about all the tariff drama the last few months? I thought Xi said they may just straight up stop selling some of that stuff to us? Not sure if it was rare earth minerals or some other rare substance that’s needed for military applications. Elon and Trump are some real fucking geniuses. 🙄

Maybe someday. 🤞🏾And then Phoney Stark won’t have to worry about whether we’re taxing billionaires enough 🙏🏾

It was lower in April and March. The stock had been oscillating wildly between $375 and $225 all year and has no relation to any of the actual finances of the company. Considering that the budget bill under consideration could remove the clean energy credits that keep the company in the black, the stock should be much lower.

Some of the buyers acquiring multiple properties for investment but some are just switching homes, getting bigger houses for growing families, upgrading to better locations or downsizing empty nesters. Older folks often sell their homes to buy something without stairs or with less maintenance. I suspect that fewer people are able to ever become 1st time buyers so all of the activity among homeowners has a larger impact on the median. :(

I saw a cool analysis by someone with a lot of incarcerated relatives. When Luigi was 1st transported from PA to NY, the quality of his haircut and eyebrow shaping indicated that he was especially well cared for in jail.
