In elementary school we weren’t even allowed to check out books from the library if the teacher didn’t think we could pass the AR test because it would lower the class average.

Can all these NIMBYs just pack up and move to Tallahassee already? Seems like they’d be way happier there.

And you’ll have to do documentation and everything and then they won’t even use it.

Even better if you use Experian: give us access to all your spending data or else you’ll never see a score increase again (source: been dealing with this for three years while Equifax continues to go up. I feel like they’re doing something illegal, but they probably already were and nobody cares.)

There’s some truth there, it’s hard to measure the value of something if it doesn’t exist. Might as well just build it and see!

The last part took me a minute but that is really the hallmark of any commercial software from the last 15 years. They all think they’ve solved your problem that they’ve never heard of.

Never heard of that one, I was telling somebody the other day about IceWeasel. So there definitely are FF clones. Or I guess you could just compile Firefox yourself and remove the denylist portion of the code. Would be extra funny if they compiled a version specific for France (because why block sites for everybody else?) and put it next to the regular one on their website with text that said oh BTW if you’re in France definitely only download this version, wink wink.

I’ll have more faith once it can reliably switch back and forth between Unicode symbols and their underlying HTML entities. It understands the concept of emojis and can use them appropriately, but I can tell there’s still some underlying issues in the token/object model for non-ASCII symbols.

Oh just wait until you learn about all the miscategorizations that are lurking in Google Maps data. Want a nice seafood date for two? Head on down to the fish counter at your local Walmart! They categorized every business very generically and never made discrete tourism categories.

Now they “only” sell for about 50,000. There’s still plenty of people who don’t get why it’s not worth that much.

Either way it’s still a software restriction that can be bypassed with other software.

Homeward bound was a cute movie but I’m not sure how well talking animals works as a genre. Although, this movie will be for somebody.

How do I approach a VC firm about losing all their money in a big spectacle? Seems to be all the rage these days.

For only $800 a month, you can be homeless if you work hard enough!

Well then I guess my enjoyment of the movie was mischaracterized as boredom and discontent.

Because people who want to watch a movie to escape from their daily lives don’t want to spend 90 minutes in the closet of a tax office.

They have these people thinking they’re actually part of something important, and when they IPO and Spez runs away with millions and gives them nothing, they’ll still believe they’re important and that Spez values them.

I like to pull the corner of my phone case off and snap it back on

Hopefully with an option to sort by something other than date taken.

I saw that cover and knew I recognized another song from this album that fresh feeling
