What about the cloud engineer job do you dislike the most? I’ve been in the field for 7-8 years now and still find a lot of joy. Granted, the most frustrating parts of my job is lack of influence I have over the decisions that get made, but I moved to a team lead position to at least have a little say.

Wouldn’t that be funny if he just ditches his son now.

Every time he put a quarter in something I chuckled. Except nowadays it would all be subscription based with forced auto renew.

I like this scatter plot. If you really want to get freaky with it, you should take into account the “protein digestibility-corrected amino acid scores.” Things like eggs and whey are 100%, beans are usually in the high 70’s, and peanuts are actually down at near 50%.

So for nutrition’s sake, not all protein sources are created equal, and it makes sense that if you are trying to get adequate protein at the lowest price, you also want to get sources where you can eat the least of it to satisfy the protein requirements of your body.

Once you can lift over 100, you reach enlightenment and never miss the hole.

I visited Montserrat a year ago and loved it. I had wished I had more time to spend on the trails surrounding it.

It’s a fairytale town, isn’t it? How’s a fairytale town not somebody’s fucking thing? How can all those canals and bridges and cobbled streets and those churches, all that beautiful fucking fairytale stuff, how can that not be somebody’s fucking thing, eh?

This has been such a frustrating month

This was created by a bot, who got it from a Reddit post that was also created by a bot. So I don’t really know who I’m trying to respond to here…

But people, have some self reflection here. If anyone is so paranoid about toxicity that they feel the need to make a guide like this, then the toxic one may be them.

People are people. Everyone probably displays hints of these traits at times depending on how their day was, or something that’s been hiding beneath the surface. But it’s more nuanced and I can’t say I’ve ever met a single (consequential) person in my life that I would define by any of these categories.

I’m curious what they mean by “failure.” I read the article but didn’t get a clear definition. Isn’t one of the expected outcomes of agile the ability to experiment rapidly and move on when the experiment fails?

So what if you fail 300% more? If you’re able to get 300% more ideas to the stage where you can test their viability, then it’s a success.

The main guy looks like a bald Will Forte and I could totally imagine him doing a live action version of this.

You can always fall back on your degree in… COMMUNICATIONS??

I applaud OP for making an effort to get involved locally but can sympathize with their struggles. Local government elections typically have a more new candidates that don’t have a track record of experience to go back on. Additionally, there are a handful of boilerplate campaign promises that you’ll see over and over again (smart spending, lower taxes, etc). I’ve personally found some success with the following approaches:

1. Even if you don’t get a ton of info from the candidate themselves, it’s still worth it looking at their website and seeing what they choose to make the centerpiece of their campaign.

2. Look up your local Democratic and Republican Party websites and see who they endorse. Often, even if a candidate is unaffiliated, the local political parties will have some insight as to who THEY would prefer. That tells you something too.

3. Try to attend local government events. You’ll learn a TON by attending a city council or school board meeting. In my local area, I’ve seen representatives half asleep or reading newspapers during discussions. At the very least, look at who takes the position seriously. Additionally, try to see who is asking smart questions, and conveys that they understand the subject matters well.

I think we should be encouraging more people for get involved locally. That’s how grassroots efforts turn into more options nationally.

I’m interpreting OPs original comment in a way that makes me think he doesn’t entirely trust what the candidates themselves say. I think that says something about where our society is today.

“Don’t do what Super-Nintendo Chalmers Dont does…”

Hey, he’s turning left!

Do you want to know the terrifying truth, or do you want to see me sock a few dingers?

Cause when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo that was your best friend’s face, you’ll know what to do! Forget it, Marge, it’s Chinatown!

Sigh. The ol “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”
