A funicular, you say?

My bible said “first cast out the beam from thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote from thy brother’s eye” but everyone has their own favorite

And Seattle Storm legend, obvi:

Last Wednesday, the Connecticut legislature passed a bill stating that the UConn legend will now serve as a co-state bird every March, sharing the designation with the American robin

“An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.” – Mitch Hedberg

In software, it’s important to think about whether you should fail open or fail shut.

Personally, I prefer it when authors promote their own work – it’s nice to be able to ask questions about it directly.

I think the lesson to learn here is that it is easier to kill a word by adding a new meaning than by policing how other people use it.

“The Jews could have prevented the holocaust if they’d just played devil’s advocate a little harder” is one of the most morally reprehensible takes I’ve ever seen in an online space, and one I simply cannot believe anyone can make in good faith.

Then you know better than most that there is enough darkness in this world, and no need for you to write more of it

By repeating those claims you are perpetuating those harms, regardless of what you “really believe.”

Their mentality is wrong, and being lgbt neither needs preventing nor curing.

I’m not certain that spending time on networks that are “void of lgbt, void of the trans” is the doctor that these people need to cure them of their transphobia and homophobia.

It’d be confusing for lumberjacks to say they need to axe a lottle.

Did Star Trek noticeably increase the ability for people to spread their middle and ring finger? 🤔🤔🤔

There were like fifteen tickets at a $60 price point, which were technically the cheapest tickets but were basically just a fiction. The nosebleeds for the final do start at like twice that, but group stage matches are cheaper. I do think your broader point is spot on — this is a way to lower prices without admitting they’re lowering prices due to suppressed demand.

I mean, just truly shameless:

Infantino shrugged off the palpable embarrassment of those present to announce the worst-kept secret in sport, that he will seek re-election next year. The election will take place at the Fifa congress in Rabat, Morocco, and he is unlikely to face any opposition.

I hope Rimu can figure out how to make Piefed run on GPUs because we are absolutely going to have to bail out these tech companies when the AI bubble pops, and when we do we’re gonna nationalize these shitty data centers and turn them into the biggest fediverse deployment you’ve ever seen (I’m mostly joking. Mostly).

Okay, so Campbell’s owns a bunch of brands: Campbell’s, Prego, Swanson, Pace, Snyder’s, and Pepperidge Farms. Campbell’s could have used any brand to launch this product, so my biggest question is: why not under the Pepperidge Farms brand? Pepperidge Farms remembers would have been the perfect ad campaign for this launch.

I’m not sure there’s any more depressing climax I could imagine to this story:

While the talk of eradicating friction or even rents suggests a “freeing up” of capital for more productive investment, given services would follow manufacturing into a realm of hyperproductive overcapacity, there would seem to be no upside to the euthanasia of the rentier in this instance.

Rather than “free up” business, this development would destroy it. Capital may well be a parasite, but in the absence of revolutionary pressure it is still work-producing. Our jobs might be bullsh-t, but without them there is only unemployment and (even more) poverty.

A long time ago, I decided I was not going to pay attention to Roblox because life is short and I don’t wanna, but it seems to have been a poor choice because somehow it qualifies as every kind of software known to humankind. I won’t be surprised if the next time I read about it is because The Kids These Days now have jobs and prefer to do their spreadsheets in Roblox rather than Excel, and so I need to buy Robux to see our company’s financials.
