I've gotten tired of script kiddies banging down my virtual doors because of PHP and MySQL. These days I'm converting my websites to static websites by using Pelican (Python). There's no bragging rights in hacking HTML files.
This is just cheap food from a corner Mexican grocery store.
I'm talking about food in general. Not what you had for dinner last night.
Unless you consider the pig being cut into a pork chop as processed.
The pig itself might be processed. Unless the pig came from an organic farm, a factory farm provides growth hormones and antibiotics in the feed to get the pig nice and fat in the least amount of time. That's not healthy for either the pig or the people who eat the pig.
and fwiw, my heat has been broken the last 3 weeks and while the bay area is not super cold, usually, with no heat for weeks and high ceilings, its COLD, man!
I'm at the bus stop at 6AM to start work at 7AM. It was 44F in San Jose.
50 years ago... Dr. James H. Bedford became the first person to be cryonically preserved after his death in January of 1967.
he is still dead.
That reminds me of a horror comic story I read in the early 1980's. A rich businessman with an incurable disease has himself frozen cryogenically until such time a cure becomes available. He awakens 50 years later. A nurse informed that he was cured. That's the good news. Unfortunately, they had to remove his arms and legs to use as transplants for soldiers with missing limbs during a world war.
That's like the people who say, "Oh, my BMW payments are so high, they're forcing me to cut back on my quality of life."
I've overheard one engineer at the bus stop complained about how heating his condo with 20-foot-high ceilings in the winter was putting a pinch on his lifestyle.
Last year the rent on my 1 bedroom apartment was $2,800 a month [...]
I paid half of that for a studio apartment in San Jose. The only difference between my studio and a one-bedroom is a wall that cost an extra $300 per month.
I make $50K+ per year as a virtual ditch digger (IT Support) and live in Silicon Valley. I get by just fine by living a modest lifestyle. Never mind that everyone else thinks I'm poor because I don't have the big house, big cars, big wife and big kids.
Every post you make makes me hate you more you passive agressive cunt.

You try to sound like such a fucking man, then have a conversation and don't work the overtime, instead of the bullshit you pulled.
When THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT (30 people) dumped leftover Chinese takeout in the manager's office, upper management investigated and fired the manager for being an ineffective leader.
On the other hand, there should be some type of -stake- in a firm. Right now, there is no responsibility. Make a nuclear reactor head out of pot metal? Just walk away. Put sawdust in shredded cheese? At worst, the company tanks.
Shareholders lose their money, lawsuits are filed, government investigates and some people might go to prison.
Right now, what was put in to limit liability enables organizations to do extremely perverted, ecologically damaging things in the name of the almighty dollar. This needs to stop, before we have another 1929.
Reforms are needed. A favorite tactic of M&A crowd is to buy a business, put the good assets into a new corporation, leave the bad assets in the old corporation, and have the old corporation declare bankruptcy. The new corporation is not always better than the old corporation.
Do you believe that business and merchants existed long before liability protections?
How many voyages to the New World would have taken place without a government charter limiting liability? Every lost ship and crew would have sent every investor to debtor prison. With a corporation for each voyage, investor liability was limited to the money they put into the venture.

My coworkers and I got revenge on a manager by ordering Chinese takeout for our overtime dinner on a Friday night, dumped the leftovers in the wastebaskets, and left the wastebaskets inside the manager's office with the door closed over a hot summer weekend. Manager almost passed out when he walked into his office on Monday morning. Took a week to air out his office.
Everyone and their mother are slobbering over the comparison between Intel and AMD. I'm more interested in a comparison between the AMD FX-8300 (AM3 platform) versus the AMD Ryzen 1700 (AM4 platform). I had to replace my nine-year-old Vista-compatible motherboard for a newer motherboard and swapped out the quad-core for an eight-core because Ryzen wasn't out last year. Not sure if upgrading to Ryzen is worth the extra $500 for processor, motherboard and memory.
I can't tell you how many Atari joysticks I've broke — or fixed — back in the day. I even tried building my own light pen on a few occasions, but those things never worked.
I learned in the seventh grade (circa 1983) that the girls thought I came from a "poor" family because we didn't have cable TV to watch MTV and I didn't have an Apple ][ computer at home. It was so embarrassing. The funny thing is that I stopped watching TV once I got into college and I now own five computers (including a 2006 MacBook).

Where did you put your resume? Surely you needed an extra bedroom to house servers large enough to contain it.
My current resume (last three jobs) is 57KB. Master resume (all jobs) is 72KB. I think my 3TB FreeNAS file server is large enough to contain it.

Fast food is relatively expensive.
Organic food is expensive. Processed food is dirt cheap.

My issue is mainly with you stating this as an absolute.
The only absolute here is your nitpicking of my comments.

Must be a slow news day.
No one can afford shelter but everyone can afford 10,000 calories per day in fast food.... #Progress
All those mega-corporations pushing the unhealthiest foods at low, low, low prices.

If you say it really fast, his name will be Dolly Parton.
The said the same thing about AI's back in the 1980's. Today we're no closer to having a self-aware AI program to replace psychologists.

What's the price of admission to said peanut gallery? I'd like to visit.
Commenting as an AC.
Without corporations to limit liability, no one would take risks in business if the end result could mean personal financial ruin.
I would!
Says the idiot in the peanut gallery.

Corporations should be abolished.

Watson learned to be a doctor in 10 minutes and a better one than humans. And that was just a test.
Not when you have Sherlock Holmes as a friend.
We learned nothing.
