    I love it. In this case it seems to be an extreme edge case so its unlikely to trip up anything due to rarity alone. This will create a feedback loop and embolden further similar behaviors. Inevitably some will be destructive because they have no comprehension (or care) of the implications. My...

    I didn't even want to hire him in the first place. I lost that argument with leadership already.

    Had it out with our pajeet hire. He is coming up on 90 days in a senior SWE position. Yet he requires step by step instruction on basic bitch things like configuring a connection for some tool. It took him 3 days to do this and he was just saying he was "blocked" on configuring a commercial SWE...

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    Seems my Nostradumbass predictions were reasonably close to accurate. It took about two weeks to retool Trinity into the Linux env. They haven't succeeded yet but they claim to be Close(tm).

I intend to touch grass in the near future a lot more than I have for the past decade working my ass off. So far I have: Springbar tent. Partner Steel 2...

    If you are around a lot of Indians the lower caste Indians will often talk about this. Even removed from India for 20+ years castes can be recognized by the style of the name. Even if they are from different parts of India and do not share the same language. For example most Indians in Austin...

    Since they will wipe BB before going live they probably shouldn't burn people out in the short term.

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    Yeah most people are just bad with money. Even when they're trying to be good with money. Watch Caleb Hammer or Dave Ramsey for just a few hours and be stunned how bad people are with money. High income or low income earners. I naturally had good spending and saving habits. Hit 7 figures at...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    World buffs are totally fine for just playing the game. I like that they allow everyone, even little Timmy, to participate in a way. That they exist is a good thing. Complete faggot world buff Molten Core speed running is just that. It is PURE cancer to raiding.

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    My kids will be 18 in the next 15 years. I am 37. I am beginning my plan for longterm living already with my primary goals being to touch grass more after a career of staring at screens. I have loads of things to do and in general am fine with just taking it easy a lot. I have tons of books to...

    That's a lot of house. Do you need smth this big? I am looking at getting a house in Laramie, WY in the next year or so.

    I feel your pain there. I hate that shit. They ask for a comment on something that I may know about. I give it my best guess or who may know more? Immediately it must be me who has to fix it.

    I don't know all of the details but from what I have gathered the whole thing is classic. As this is a factory that cost millions to build and propietary technology that took a decade to design and implement it has a variety of simulation gates that any updates must pass before being used on the...

    I am looking for a camping stove. Like a 2 burner propane thing preferably. Something I can hook up to a standard propane tank you buy from the grocery store. The only ones made in USA though are the Coleman Dual Fuel burner which takes White Fuel or Gasoline. Do I just need to buy an ancient...

    Supposedly they have a RP PVE server coming out on Aug 17th. Ambershire. Along with their massive content patch. I will definitely be trying out their U5 version but I will be waiting for that. A new server to go on is good though. https://forum.turtle-wow.org/viewtopic.php?t=20603

    I had a watershed moment using 3 different MCPs within Cursor AI. I had two tasks that were 5 story points. A year ago these two tasks would have taken me 1.5 days or so of heads down programming. So realistically like 5 days because of meetings that waste my time. With 3 MCPs and a Cursor chat...

    WoW Ascension (Classless Realm)

    Overall I agree with the MadSeason guy although I guess everyone speaks around the edges about it. The primary thing WOW or its derivatives need to do is allow horizontal growth. Resetting you constantly is the one thing that just sucks ass. Time Locked Progression every now and again is fun but...

    Not the point. The point is that you CAN do stuff solo and aren't limited by other players not being around to quest. If questing is the primary goal of the game. In order to manage this a little better a MMO needs a plethora of progression routes that are not limited to other players helping...
