Yeah, I'm in the market for a truck for trailering and having a bed as we get into some home improvement projects.

I feel the need to only look for older trucks (1990-2000 model years) most for reasons listed here. That plus so many trucks today are short bed with HUGE cabs. I will never understand why people want basically an SUV with a truck bed.

Diogenes of Sinope

Hi Facebook, I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

You see, every one else thought currency was pretty based, but Diogenes saw it for the facade of civility it was. So he definitely debased currency.

Eh a little of column A, a lot of column B (Column B is just a white washed version of Column A).

Fake Money for Criminals.

Turns out things for criminals sometimes can be an okay thing for noncriminals.

Legal != Moral

A single expert in a team of juniors can do so much more. Because it can delegate the junior work to the juniors while doing only expert work.

This part is definitely true but I think it misses the point. A single expert can be a force multiplier, or they can be overbearing dead weight. There is the possibility a technical expert wants to micromanage and see every step as it is done (thus holding up work that can be done while the expert is elsewhere).

I conjecture that those skills and attributes that separate the two experts we've described is what "good leadership" consists of.

I would never trust a leader who has no technical skills, but neither would I trust a leader who has only technical skills.

Being a technical expert != being a good leader

There are a set of skills and attributes that enable one to leader well. An ideal leader will have both technical skills and leadership capability, but it is possible for each to exist independently in a person.

Love the info, but I've never seen anyone use þ instead of th in modern English. Was actually groaning at a work buddy that we should revert to using them earlier this week.

May I ask your motivation for this? How often do people just get confused by this?

Boldly violating the Prime Directive by flying low over my primitive planet, more like.

Could have sworn I've seen old pre-AI versions of this image, but this one looks AI to me.

Oh no, now we have to ban them all?? What a shame!

Oh snap, was this real? Links to video/article?

I now want a community dedicated to....uh....dresses that....uh.....yeild that appearance.

Maybe something like c/MozzarellaBags?

100 warm

Yeah, I suppose that's one way to describe 100°C

Article postulates that we're under-reporting, in case anyone doesn't want to read the article.

Because I recently rediscovered this, sharing here:

All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

MY POINT EXACTLY.

--Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

AOC:

"The cap on that is $25,000. While you’re jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,00 across the United States...So if you’re at home and you’re living off tips, you do the math. Is that worth it to you?...This bill is a deal with the devil. It explodes our national debt...To give Elon Musk a tax break and billionaires the greedy taking of our nation? We can not stand for it, and we will not support it."

(its unclear from this quote if that's no tax on $25,000 in gross income for tipped workers; the first $25,000 in tips; or if there are no taxes on those only for those who make under $25,000 per year. None of the possible meaning is a good one, to be clear, but that's what I was hoping to get answered).

Article isn't actually that long and is effectively a short rant AOC gave. Still annoyed with OP for click bait title without substance in post.

Side note, isn't TempleOS not Linux based?

Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?

Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev's name was Terry Davis.
