The deck is basically my balatro machine. It’s great for it.

Nope, Trump is his parties verified candidate which happens at the convention. Dems have not had their convention yet so Biden was not officially the candidate. Semantics, yes but technically true.

The art style is nice but the content makes no sense. Kanban and scrum are parts of agile. They are not their own systems.

Lean also doesn’t mean you have no money. It’s a system of manufacturing where you cross train people to do the jobs on either side of them so they can pick up slack if needed and keep things moving without hiring more people.

The reason vscode is so popular is because it is far more efficient than the electron app it’s based on. Atom was slow and the worst resource hog I’ve ever seen.

The plugin ecosystem and great built-in support for the most popular languages keep it popular.

I have almost exclusively darn tough socks now and have for over 15 years at this point. I do eventually get worn areas in them but I never let them get anywhere near this bad. A small section of padding worn out is enough for DT to replace them for me. My main hobby is backpacking though so they get used hard and often. I would guess they last somewhere around 500 miles per pair for the micro crews. The business socks are also nice but wear out faster.

It’s not the sugar that makes the coffee taste bad. It’s that they over roast it. Their medium is basically a dark roast.

That said, yes the bigger issue is what they have become as a company and how badly they treat their employees.

You’ve never driven one have you? Electric motors are crazy powerful and it’s all torque. My Prius can accelerate faster than my Tacoma. What you are seeing in people driving a Prius is trying to save gas by not accelerating hard. Just because they often don’t doesn’t mean they can’t when it’s needed.

It’s funny because you are just doing the same thing in a different way. Tomatoes and mushrooms have msg naturally. The ketchup is mostly about adding some sugar.

A secret ingredient in a lot of sauces is anchovy paste and it’s partly for the msg. It does make a sauce taste great though.

I understand where you’re coming from and as a kid that sucks to be responsible for someone who is supposed to be caring for you.

Anecdotally, when I had mild depression I found the responsibility of a dog really helped me. It got me on daily walks and a schedule that helped me mentally. The cuddle part is nice but the responsibility is what I think really helped pull me out of a slump.

It’s not for everyone and certainly not if you don’t like dogs. Also actually severe mental issues need meds. The dog can’t fix what is truly wrong in those cases.
