Came here to say exactly that - this article is bullshit. I love LD&R, but aside from it being animated there’s no similarity with HM. Some of the episodes are wildly different in theme, feel, and style. I don’t see how anyone can call it a “spiritual successor” in good faith. Hell, as a diverse collection of stories and styles, it’s hard to relate it to any one movie or show at all.

There’s no strain in any of those muscles. My guess is that black background is designed to hide whatever contraption is supporting the men.

Wait, so they dusted it with cocoa powder and then put those frosting dollops on top of that? The lid might have been the only thing holding those in place.

I tried to find the place with a reverse image search, but also if the hits (there are quite a number) are to collections of pics of the worst home interiors.

I think we might be agreeing, it’s just that “mediocre” means different things to each of us. My team supports human spaceflight, and no one we have is crummy. The “mediocre” people have pretty decent technical skills if you’re looking across all software development domains.

Personally, I’ve found the decent technical skills to be easier to come by than the other ones, and having all of them in one package is a real discriminator.

People have those things in spectrums, not all or nothing. You have to have at least some of all of them, but I’d argue that mediocre competency with really good communication and accountability is a better combination that really good competency with one of the others being mediocre.

I’m halfway through scrolling this long thread, and this is the first comment I’ve seen that isn’t overly cynical. It’s also correct.

I’ve been working for 38 years, and I’ve been someone who makes promotion decisions for 15 of them. The third one is helpful, not essential, but the others are super important. The people who rise to leadership positions aren’t necessarily the top technical people, they’re the ones who do those things with a good attitude.

The other thing I’d add is that they’re people who are able to see the big picture and how the details relate to it, which is part of strategic thinking.

Isn’t it still a state crime even if it’s moved to a federal court? Still state charges and state standards.

I read stuff like this in comment sections and figures it’s just someone trolling for a reaction, but there are so many people who are actually like this. It’s so depressing to think that there are honestly people who think Trump is some great genius. If he goes to jail, they’ll still be saying “Just you watch! Any day now he’s going to spring the trap.”

Absolutely! Maybe even mid-December.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem with stores selling holiday stuff way in advance of the holiday. Some people want to get their decorations all lined up, be working on crafts, or whatever. What I object to is when stores decorate for the holiday way in advance. I don’t want to see Christmas trees and snow men in October or pumpkins and witches in July.

Yeah, I hear you - I have an intense sugar addiction, and eat an absolutely disgusting amount of chocolate (see username). At least otherwise I eat pretty healthy.

By the way, the reason milk is in so much is because of how much cheese we eat. When they make cheese, they separate out the whey, which they used to throw away, but now they use in stuff. It has a lot of names: whey, lactose, milk solids, and others. If you’re lactose intolerant, you have to watch for that for the same reason you don’t have to worry much about hard cheeses: the lactose is mostly in the whey, which comes out of the cheese.

Yeah, came to say the same. I’m different though, I know I’m addicted to it.

No worries - lots of options, it’s easy to miss stuff.

It’s already the. Under your profile settings, way towards the top.

Google news, NPR, a few other places more rarely. Not that I’m super prolific.

Spot on. You could do one for 2024 for MTG and Boebert, but sadly some people would be excited by the prospect.

Oh, God, I’d almost forgotten that name. In those days one of my employees came to work on Halloween dressed as a “Tea party crackpot.” His clothes made to look like made out of china with a big crack down from the neck, then big fake tea bags all over and each had a nut job quote from tea party members. I think about a third of them were Bachmann’s. Things like ''I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back" and ‘‘Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn’t even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.’’

I was going to say that there isn’t a dumber elected official, but then I remembered Boebert. Man, if someone is going to be that dumb, they should at least be nice, and either way they shouldn’t be helping to run the country. Such a complete embarrassment.

Yeah, and this PSA doesn’t work - at least it didn’t for me. I think this comment is the actual cause, and why clearing cookies doesn’t help.
