  • Drone debris is no joke. Most likely they don't destroy them to avoid damage to their infrastructure.

  • So basically kidnapping and extortion.

  • The unnamed one is my personal favorite

  • Pretty sure all of them have merged into a single one, cause no single one can be this weird.

  • Kevan Atteberry (born 1955 or 1956)

    TIL the internet doesn't even know when he's born.

  • Absolutely correct, but my counter argument would be to ask if that would be considered living or just breathing until you stop?

  • Now would be the time for a scramble suit startup.

  • My deeply held belief is that living demands courage.

  • You could just tell them your social capital is spent and leave.

  • Yeah, not for long, I'm quitting this company as soon as I can.

  • At work we have the following quote on the fridge

    "A ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot — albeit a perfect one — to get an “A”. Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work – and learning from their mistakes — the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay."

    We are a software development company and my reply to this was basically that pot making hasn't changed in a long time, it's basically shaping and firing clay. Software development is comparatively new and has a vastly more dynamic landscape.

    Also, the comparison is stupid because we don't write code, realize it was shit and write a new one. If we did business like that, we wouldn't be in business.

  • The enjoyment was very real

  • I use it sparingly and only to automate things I know how to do very well, so reviewing its work become easier.

  • Paint everything white to make up for the loss of the polar ice caps /s

  • Giorgio Eramo runs a fresh pasta restaurant near St Peter's square - serving up cacio e pepe and other traditional pasta dishes.

    "It's terrible. It's not cacio e pepe... What Good Food published, with butter and parmesan, is called 'pasta Alfredo'. It's another kind of pasta," he said.

    On his restaurant's board of pastas, he offers cacio e pepe with lime - a variation. But he says that's ok.

    "It's different, it's for the summer, to make the pasta more fresh. But it doesn't impact the tradition. It's not like cream or butter. Lime is just a small change."

    While I do agree with the statement that there should not be any butter or Parmesan in cacio e pepe, the fact that this guy adds lime to his and saying it's still cacio e pepe, just make it sound like as long as Italians do the change, it's okay.

  • Came here to make sure this one was in the comments.

  • Germany's Central Council of Jews has sharply criticized the government's decision to suspend exports of military equipment to Israel that could be used in the Gaza Strip, announced by Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Friday.

    Israel is attacked daily by enemies and bombarded with missiles, Schuster said.

    "Depriving Israel of the ability to defend itself against such threats endangers its existence," he added.

    Using weapons inside Gaza is not defense though.

  • Good, shut off your AI models next.

  • Oh ffs, do we really have to say no to this shit every six months?
