AWS is cheap and appears very stable... no idea how it scales with heavy traffic but I bet they have solutions that would help there too...

100% agree. Then you go adopt a mutt and discover theyre asking $400-$600. Whatever route you take, the culture of spending around pets is fucking dumb. Mutt puppies should be literally free, they cost nothing to produce. You have to actively take steps and spend money to AVOID producing them...

The freedom to format your code however you want, so it looks the way you want it to and is as readable as possible. I mostly talk shit for fun when it comes to Python, like Mac vs PC, but in all seriousness I cant understand why anyone would support a language that enforces a particular...

Shut your whore mouth. Perl is properly viewed as an alternative to Python, and in that context its undeniably better. Unless you hate freedom and flexibility, and really enjoy languages that enforce particular rules for whitespace characters.

You don't hit a kid on the face. Thats what they have a butt for. 10 years old isnt too old for a spanking. A spanking is more humiliating and guaranteed to cause zero damage. That said, the parents who didnt discipline him are just as much to blame.

Thats so funny. I always loved that, back when I set an alarm. It was like ha, I win, fucker! as I'd turn off the alarm without ever having to hear it. Eventually I always woke up before the alarm and stopped setting it.

I hate the sound of alarm clocks so much I stopped setting mine well over a decade ago. I literally only set it for unusual cases e.g. 4 AM wakeups to go get on a plane or something. Normal days, I just get up. Fuck the sound of alarm clocks. Way to start the day off angry -- here ya go, first...

For some reason when conversations about fights come up on FOH things always go sideways fast. WTF is this spitting on the face is assault, shit? People are saying theyd resort to physical violence over this? And a quick google shows that in fact youre right and its legally considered assault...

Holy shit, that is divorce worthy. I literally stopped seeing a girl in college because she used the snooze button. That was rare for me, usually I waited til they got tired of my shit and started cheating on me with a friend. Wait, that was out loud. Anyway, fuck the snooze button and...

Somehow each trailer looks worse than the last. And I guess if thats a final trailer, this confirms officially that they arent somehow fixing ghettofire with e.g. CGI gold skin or something. Theyre seriously going with ghetto rat in a pink wig.

LOL "Piracy" Its the ethical equivalent of loaning your friend a paperback, but theyre still calling it "piracy". If theyre going for absurd hyperbole perhaps they could at least pick a "crime" thats not universally admired and romanticized to the point Disney has made billions of dollars from...

Why did I watch that? They had a decade or so of great storylines from the New Teen Titans as their source material, and they give us this. FML. That ghetto rat starfire, wtf

Skinny jeans look as masculine as a color coordinated leotard, tights, and legwarmers ensemble. I trust I dont have to explain to you what regular mens jeans look like.

I dont understand why this guy keeps saying "grounded" like its a positive thing. The source material is about an extraterrestrial cosmic entity infecting a powerful psychic. "Grounded" is not the target here. I cant put my finger on it but every single blue character looks terrible. Its like...

These are good points. House design makes a big difference. But so does opening the windows and turning on a fan. I have lived in hot climates with no AC. When its hot in the house, there are things a person can do to mitigate it. Like go out on the porch, or open all the windows and turn on...

Yeah I totally dont remember the order of girlfriends. You're probably right. What I do remember was a hot blond and a hot redhead.

Meanwhile, white people settled and lived in Texas something like 100 years before AC was invented. I love AC too but the idea that "oh no its above 95 people cant survive that" is retarded. Do people die during 95°F weather? Yes. Is it inevitable without AC? Not at all.

Based on the MJ casting choice, maybe the third movie is "Spiderman and his homies"? Only bad thing about Homecoming was the terrible casting for MJ. Maybe they can just move past her to his later love interest (Gwen or something?) Aside from that I like the casting better than either of the...

You could have said that a few years ago. After that abomination that was The Gunslinger, you dont get to say that anymore. Casting matters. Elba's a good actor, but no amount of acting skills can save a movie from stupid casting decisions.

I dunno. I read people complaining about acting skills and often dont get the complaints. The main character I thought was well suited for the part. Could he pull of a gay cowboy in love or a mentally handicapped Southern guy with a big heart? I dunno. I thought he was good for this part. Its...

This looks like the second best DC movie since Wonder Woman. Are you familiar at all with Captain Marvel (Shazam, if you must) from the comics?

Of course this will suck. It has nothing to do with the choice to cut it into two movies, or the choice of director, or anything like that. It will suck because a) Fremen are directly modeled from Arab Muslims, and they conduct a Jihad (thats even called a Jihad) against the galaxy, killing...

The outcomes you describe are bad for the individuals living in those regions (Africa and inner cities), but not even a little bit of a problem for the species. One could even argue theyre good for the species. Its hard to imagine any argument theyre bad for the species. All species face...

If youre going low carb, beer and wine are going to break your daily carb limit unless you drink shit beer. Just switch to whiskey for a while. Whiskey is one of lifes greatest pleasures anyway. Never hurts to have some added motivation to drink whiskey.

Our large population and continued (although slowing) growth is a feature, not a bug. Its the best indicator of a successful species, by definition. Its evidence we're doing great, not something to be worried about. Things are better now than they have ever been, and are so good we are...

To be clear, that "dont flip burgers more than once" thing has been conclusively disproved. Frequent repeated flipping won decisively.

Not reading 9 pages to see if someone already said this. The political thread has a problem, but the solution is *not* bannings or thread bannings or any nonsense like that. The problem is trying to make one thread for all political topics. (Whats next, one thread to discuss all movies and...

Re-reading this thread made me wonder. Has there ever been a time Hollywood stuck close to the book and the movie bombed as a result? I am coming up with nothing. It seems like at some point a director might try it just to do something different.

Had to put our cat to sleep recently. All three kids dealt with it really well. We didnt use any euphemisms, we explained exactly what the vet did. We dug a grave in the field and buried him together. They cried but I think letting them work through the process (saying goodbye before the vet...

We dont allow shit talking in grown up forum. Surely we dont allow sideways pics here either, right? I mean, come the fuck on -- sideways pics demand shit talking.

Hes probably just confused why the world is tilted sideways. edit - after reviewing a few pages and noting that Trex knows how to take and post pictures that arent fucking sideways, I have had to change my votes. 11 votes, shes officially a good babysitter now. sideways pictures are internet aids

I finally realized my biggest and only real complaint about this movie. Havent seen it mentioned; forgive m if it was (I avoided most spoilers before watching) This was the movie that made me decide I will no longer be waiting in the theater for these bullshit after credits scenes. #1 No one...

Chuk, I will give you this. If the options are Tyen or Trex watching the kids, a random stranger from online is likely to be a better option. Dont see your point at all about school. School teachers go through lots of actual, in person, real life vetting. Not just "how many thumbs up do they...

Fuck yes. It is literally unAmerican, unpatriotic and an insult to everyone who died in the revolutionary war for an American citizen to act like British "royals" are any different than some random chav giving birth in some inner city cesspool of mediocre britain. I rage when my wife does...

Just like the idea that online reviews are trustworthy, your post makes no sense. Yes, since I have had children, I have known other people with children. This is what normally happens when you have children -- you meet other parents. Some of those children are old enough to babysit. Yes...

LOL yes, its called "knowing people in real life". You are gonna seriously sit there and say anonymous online reviews are even comparable? That is some hysterical generation gap shit. You dont need to "hire a fake review company" for anonymous online reviews to be bullshit. Exhibit A: Tyen...

If youre ready to take "online reviews" as meaningful feedback about a service or person we are just gonna have to agree to disagree. Online reviews are a fine medium for humor, and are valuable in that sense, but I'd trust them for recommending a babysitter as far as I would trust my online...

Random "babysitters" on the internet are verifiable? What ever happened to your friends and neighbors' teenage daughters? People you actually know? I am an anti social mother fucker and we have no problem finding babysitters when we need one. I dont understand how people can be in an age/stage...

And Alkorin easily wins the thread for most disturbing post. Which is quite a feat. No, Alkorin, normal parents dont ever think about killing their kids. I may or may not think about murdering the general public like Thanos on a regular basis, but literally never my kids. WTF.

LOL ya think? Every time he posts those pics (and hes done it probably a dozen times across several threads) I wonder, why are you cruising craigslist personals or backpages for a babysitter? Then I realize its nominally a "babysitter finding app"
