    Peacemaker

    Nah, this isn't rushed. Its romance driven instead of superhero driven. It sucks because of tropes and cliches. Peacemaker is a timid widdle boy who just wants to be wuvved because his dimension dad sucked and his dimension crush is more of a man than he is. So lets go to the American Dream...

    "Oh my god!!!!" Oh wait some talking head picked a number that let him say something meaningless like "only twice in history!" That ratio has been a disaster, if you expand it back all time, since 2015. If we're talking "historically". EDIT: Goddammit the troll graphic wasn't loading on my...

    Steak is the worst kind of "go pay someone else to cook the easiest meal on earth" kind of celebration. Don't celebrate with steak. Celebrate with shit thats time consuming and annoying to do yourself, like a braised lamb shank with gnocchi served over a creamy polenta. Don't get a fucking steak.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Anyone else's company start doing AI "Hackathons" in the last few years? Ridiculous exercises where teams are supposed to go off on their own and use AI to "innovate" and "add value"? We've had a few, almost nobody has participated because they are a joke, until this most recent one where they...

    I think book 3 was just a little long because of how much detail he was trying to impart about The Tangle. It was all nonsensical no matter what so it was wasted story. I still like the book though.

    And it will likely follow the same trajectory as call center outsourcing which moved on from India years ago to the Philippines and keeps moving to cheaper and cheaper labor forces as their infrastructure improves, including Africa.... outsourcing to Africa, what a world.

    Good, some of them are paying attention. But I do have some questions about the language in that act that you would know a lot more about than I would. (and 25% isn't nearly enough). That seems overly dubious. What does this mean for corporations (like the one I work for) who have opened...

    Based on this thread I bought the first book on Tuesday. Just started book 4 this morning. It's exactly the right mix of simple, vulgar and engaging and a perfect blend of science fiction wrapped around faux high fantasy. EDIT: Oh and I dont have an e-reader so I actually went out and bought...

    It's lame duck, bloviating, horse shit policy, and nothing will come of it. But yea, he's definitely removing a "problem", while ignoring the actual problem. And the H1B scenario is not a political issue, it's a social dynamic that changed about 30 years ago and deeply entrenched itself into...

    He won't, the h1b shit was low hanging fruit that fit right in with the deportation narrative, and it won't make any difference whatsoever for us in this field. If h1bs are an open sore, outsourcing is a galactic nuclear warhead, and none of our politicians seem to give a shit.

    The funniest thing about that story is it's something you could, and should prompt AI for and apparently your coworker is even too stupid to do that. That's next level. Makes me think he's one of those hires that used a ghost interviewer. Its highly unlikely someone with any tech background at...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    There is no hill to die on here. I don't think anyone would argue with you. Diddy Kong racing was one of the best games on N64 period, cross genre. That game was a goddamn masterpiece. Late SNES into N64 RARE was the greatest game development studio maybe ever.

    The only system that had a better game lineup than SNES, as a whole, was Playstation. But the N64 comes in third in my opinion.

    So Clevatess switches to that godawful animation studio that so many other animes do during pivotal fight scenes as well? I don't get why the animation quality drops off a fucking cliff sometimes with these shows like in Naruto and One Piece and Bleach. And its always that same garbage style.

    John Candy was very underappreciated and most of the movies he was in were kinda low rent which is probably why.

    If you think the Western world and the US is headed towards demise, move to the US, buy guns and ammunition and then pay ex military to survival train you. If you aren't a complete psychopath just do most of what you outlined except for the apartments. Fuck rentals.
