  • How much did the real estate value of the property go up during your experiment? Even if there’s no cash flow, helping to pay the mortgage while you sit on an appreciating asset might make sense monetarily.

  • [OC] Personal opinion on Jackson Pollock's drip art

    Jump

  • Speaking here as an art noob who generally knows nothing of what the pieces are supposed to mean or what their societal context was when they were made and what forces they were pushing against etc:

    When my arty partner drags me into art museums with huge abstract modern art pieces with just big splotches of heavily textured color (I’m thinking in particular of one giant piece filling a wall with jagged black heaps of paint) they do in fact make me feel feelings.

    In my case, as in OP’s case, they were really bad feelings. I would prefer not to feel really bad and I don’t like that art. But I certainly couldn’t call it ineffective fart-huffing!

  • Not OP but I’m partial to, “Damn, that sucks.”

  • Well, we have the fucking camps opening. Luckily, plenty of terminally online leftists are ready to tell us how noble and moral not voting was!

    Jump

  • It's a little late now that there's camps, sure. If people had refused harder to put up with shitty democrats in the past, like.. decades past.. then the dems would've lost to past republicans who weren't quite dictators.

    In that alternate past where the dems actually lose for being center-right corporatists, they would've had to get some kind of spine or plan or... something.. earlier to protect our public news and education from authoratarian misinformation and maybe prevented this bullshit.

    In this current world that we actually have though... I mean you saw we elected Biden, right? And you saw how much good that did -- right? We need somebody on our side with some teeth and rolling over for milquetoast donation collectors is not going to get it for us.

    How is dating with your mental disorder if you have one?

  • No they’re kind of just doing their thing how their thing feels best to them

  • This picture was recently taken in Edmonton, Canada

    Jump

  • No these are modified. Last time I saw a vehicle like that it was a Mormon family out camping with their 17 kids

    Edit: honestly if you’ve got a giant family and you’re basically a half a busload of people everyplace you go, that’s pretty much the ideal best use case for a private car.

    Same with this picture — if somebody felt the need to pay $$$$$ for extending the truck, they’re probably actually using that space for something productive and not just driving it around empty. I’m way more mad about the incredible waste of every suburban individual having their own heavy duty cargo hauler for daily chores that don’t need it, then I am about modified special-purpose vehicles doing a job.

    Jump

  • Everybody is their own person and dating may not be for you, but autism does not have to mean that. I have a diagnosed autistic friend who dated so much they have two spouses now.

  • I'm setting up a Windows 11 laptop for my uncle. Is there a sneaky way to make it block right-wing bullshit websites?

    Jump

  • OP If you’re really going to do this (questionable imo) then you’d need to find some kind of list that gets updated automatically. Because if you just make fox and OAN suck he’s more likely to find some other, worse thing you never heard of.

    But if you do do this behind his back and he notices, you can pretty much forget about him ever trusting you for anything again. Those are the stakes.

  • What's a regional pronunciation of a word that seems normal to you but is weird to people from other parts of the country?

    Jump

  • I mean, everybody in Canberra is from someplace else anyway so I wouldn’t expect any local special spelling for common words. Maybe I just got in with a pocket of queries weirdos 🤷

  • If we’re restricting the competition to craft beers and wood-fired pizza, Austin is not running at any competitive disadvantage. They will go hard.

    If you want to open the field to, say, west coast fresh variety, with your Cambodian-Somali fusion cuisine and sushi etc, then you have to answer some difficult questions about barbecue as well.

    I am ready for this competition.

  • Writing Code Was Never The Bottleneck

    Jump

  • Say it however you want that works for your relationship.

    What I meant to be saying there was — if nobody tells him his review comments aren’t helpful anymore, then he probably won’t know.

    I’m speaking from the perspective of somebody who spends like 1/2 their time or more doing code reviews, if I’m wasting people's time I would want to know it

  • Writing Code Was Never The Bottleneck

    Jump

  • You need to tell him that. Seriously. Pick some especially bad example to point at, and come to him with, "Hey Bob, I used to get real value from your review comments. I could tell you were thinking about what to say and it helped me to produce better code. Now it seems I am mostly seeing LLM-generated junk like this one that doesn't help anybody. This isn't an improvement, can you go back to the more helpful way you used to do things?"

  • If biphasic sleeping was normalized again, what would you do in those few hours between sleeps?

  • Go to the bathroom and eat a snack.

    I spent a vacation once with no internet and no lights. Worked myself hard all day snorkeling and went to bed at dark.

    Every night, woke up in the middle of the night for a peaceful amble to the jakes and wandered around for a bit enjoying myself before going back to bed.

    It felt very natural.

  • What was the worst hotel you ever stayed at?

    Jump

  • I pulled in late and tired to a random motel 6 in Illinois. Went in to the office with my wife and three small children, talked to the attendant through thick bulletproof glass to get a room. Attendant was very weirdly hesitant.

    Went to the room, found the floor was linoleum tiles that were all peeling up at the edges, doors, doorframes, beds all in bad condition, some seriously weird and disturbing smell we didn’t recognize.

    Came back down to the office and asked for our money back, which is the single solitary time I’ve ever done that at a hotel. The attendant seemed relieved and was very happy to return the money.

    Our kids were really little but they’ve always remembered that and they call it the “nope-tel”
