We definitely have blackberries. We don't really have blackcurrants though, may be thinking of that?

They're significantly faster than boiling water on the stove here in the US too.

I have an electric kettle because I'm a tea drinker. Not gonna lie though, it did take a while before I realized I could just generally boil water in the thing. One day, looking directly at the kettle while I filled a pot with water, the dusty light bulb in my head finally lit up. ๐Ÿ˜…

Well that just sounds like New Jersey.

It is a pretty impressive demonstration of the error correction built into QR codes.

Tried it. Now I'm stopped bumper to bumper with the guy who cut me off to cram his truck into the buffer I left. What's the next step?

Also my collection of hobbies seems to match up well with the people who nuked their post history after the API-ocalypse. Even when I get good search results I click through and... so many deleted comments...

The inhouse tooling from the massive tech companies is very cool but I always wonder how that impacts transferrable skills. I work in a much smaller shop but intentionally make tech decisions that will give our engineers a highly transferrable skill set. If someone wants to leave it should be easy to bring their knowledge to bear elsewhere.

Sure they can but I always appreciate when someone owns up to their mistakes and leaves them. Pobody's nerfect and it's nice to see I'm not alone in making mistakes.

This looks like grub2-mkconfig was run with the output mistakenly set to /etc/default/grub. Someone ran

grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/default/grub

Instead of

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

For me it was the "Amazon Day" shipping that bundles up a week's worth of separate orders into one shipping day. Convenient sure but now I'm not getting 2-day shipping... so what am I paying for again? I'll just bundle up the orders and shipping my damn self.

Or it's a company so fuckoff huge that one department (Chrome on Android) couldn't get a bug report escalated in another department (YouTube). Eventually they just put in a UA workaround while the bug rots in a backlog somewhere. Common enterprise bullshit.

Or the Chrome on Android team didn't even bother reporting the issue to YouTube and just threw in a cheap workaround. Also common enterprise bullshit.

He could have just stuck to the deal he already agreed to in May. The extreme right would still hate him but Democrats would have at least one reason to help him out. Now the crazy pants caucus hates him for caving and the Democrats know he cannot be trusted. He did this to himself.
