Subverb

I’m 60 now and am literally a Boomer; fast food has definitely gotten worse. Especially in the last 10 years or so. The foods and processes have been tweaked and tuned to the point that the value of the food hovers just barely above the price and not a tick more.

Health concerns also play a role. McDonald’s fries are a good example. When I was young they were cooked in beef tallow and they were so good they would roll your eyes back in your head in in ecstacy (not kidding). They switched to vegetable oil due to health concerns over saturated fats and they’ve just never been the same.

I’ll pour one out for the Yaris.

Try kagi. It’s paid at $5/mo., but you get 300 searches to try it out.

It’s useful for my firmware development, but it’s a tool like any other. Pros and cons.

One success at thwarting fraud doesn’t mean that all attempts are thwarted though, it only proves that fraud is happening. That’s the problem.

I’m just happy to see someone remembers the Spin Doctors.

This isn’t malloc though. I have to assume the cast is because the user has experience with the output from an LLM being untrustworthy.

I agree that he was pretty hostile but it’s Fox News. To be expected.

But she’s the sitting Vice President. “Yes, madam Vice President.” or at least “Yes, ma’am./madam.” is the appropriate way to reference her though.

Five years ago the audience would have fawned all over this kind of crap.

It’s good to see people are wise to his stock pumping strategy now.

ls that the kind of man you need? Loquacious type?

It’s intentional.

Obviously, Google makes money showing ads during search. But they have finally bit the bullet and starting tarpitting users in search in order to show more ads.

A quick, useful, and accurate search means that you’re on their site for the least amount of time, perhaps mere seconds. That’s not what’s best for revenue growth.

PS: Go try Kagi and be reminded what good clean search results look like. I use it because my time has value. It’s very good.

And a crematorium.

Not just the best press conference of 2020, but one of the most hilarious political fuck-ups of my lifetime. And I’m a Boomer.

How is throwing your vote into a hole going to help exactly?

I’m 60. I would argue that 20 years is not a long time. Keep pushing.

Change won’t come overnight (at least without revolution). Like evolution, it requires constant pressure on the system. Changes that are too radical kill the organism.

A long as people think we can jump from Geoge H.W. Bush to Bernie Sanders in one election it’s going to continue to fail.

Votw Harris this time. Vote for the person slightly more liberal than her next time, etc. It’s a process.

Interesting tidbit: He filmed his audition tape for House from his hotel room during the shooting of Flight of the Phoenix.

You can find it on YouTube.

Maybe not directly…

Guess I’m out of the loop. Who’s Elmo?

Couldn’t find the date?

Did you check the EXIF data?

That’s right. For a company greater than 50 employees the insurance companies charge a group rate that is the same for everyone. Fewer than 50 and each employee is billed on their and/or their family’s merits.

Because I have fewer than 50 employees, most of my family employees use their spouse’s insurance from larger company than mine. And there’s little I can do about it.

For my small business I’m just as screwed over as the employee. If I hire a guy I can’t (and don’t want to) ask him him or her health questions, but because I pay half of my employee’s insurance I’m hiring with an unknown cost component. That employee might have a costly pre-existing condition for all I know.
