I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with this concept…

Oh, yeah. It was a complete woosh. I thought that was a legit fact being dropped.

 

I work in tech and check a few sites pretty regularly. What are some sites for your industry that are similar to news.ycombinator.com?

Hmm… “what would forestry service people abuse the mail service for?” closer?

In like which way?!

I bought a lifetime plex pass for like $80 in 2016… is Plex getting more annoying? Yes. But is this a huge affront? No.

Me either. Seems like it would be a really handy site to use if you were making your own game and wanted to see some examples or best practices.

Had no idea it existed, I don’t make games though. But it’s always so cool to see something built that serves a unique niche I had never thought of before! Consulting used to be like for me but after a while, it was always the same kinds of business problems just a different flavor of organization.

Are these today’s losses?

Pffftft get bent. Providing military gear to Ukraine that was destined to be disposed of for reaching its end of life by sitting on a shelf doesn’t really cost the US much, other than on an accounting ledger. It’s either on the balance sheet as “N number of ATACMS valued at $X were disposed of for $Z (cost of disposal)” or “N number of ATACMS valued at $X were provided to Ukraine at a cost of $W (cost of shipping)”. Which end up being roughly the same.

Regardless the munitions are gone and off the books. Both outcomes mean US arms producers get to make more missiles — which is money spent within the US on US jobs.

So, who gives a shit? Let Ukraine defend themselves while Russia expends money and soldiers. Ya Muppet.

I don’t get the impression he gives a shit about his kids.

Kidnapped? He probably lost track of the other 12 that he isn’t using as photo op props in the Oval Office.

This feels like it will help.
