You might not be the dumbest person in the world…. But you better hope he doesn’t die.

@Horace said in Fuck coding: @Doctor-Phibes said in Fuck coding: I wonder if they get paid overtime on top of that. I assume their contract contains language which diminishes the notion that they will have a work/life balance, at that compensation. He should probably join a union. They'd sort that out.

Museums are very educational. This one taught me about the importance of markets. Go to any of the hundreds of hotels or restaurants here, and everybody treats you nice. Go to the one place you can go to see some original Da Vincis, and the customer facing personnel are reminiscent of the DMV.

The Kremlin on Monday neither confirmed nor denied that a visit by the U.S. envoy would take place this week, saying only that it was “always glad to see Mr. Witkoff in Moscow.” I’m sure they just rejoice when Trump’s trusted hand picked amateur diplomat, Mr. Dimwit, shows up at the door.

Test drove a Vinfast SUV in early 2023. It drove just fine. Nothing particularly noteworthy except maybe the very large, portrait oriented touch screen with in the middle of the console.

@Tom-K said in Off to the Tuscan countryside: Reminds me of the John Cleese joke: so John went to Auschwitz and arrived at the gate slightly after the last entry time and they wouldn't let him in. He said, "But I'm a Jew!" and they opened the gates and let him in. I’d rather go to a summer camp in central Texas flood zones than a concentration camp.
