Mayonnaise cake is another option to minimize elbow grease.

On the phones making the calls. The FBI is Trumplandia.

Oddly, although I can use chopsticks to eat, I can not visualize what my grip is from these pictures. It’s delegated entirely to my hand at this point and I don’t think about it any more.

All these fuckers are our neighbors and for many of us former employers.

We know exactly how they think, and what they think of us.

Andreesen is the tip of the iceberg.

I found that keeping up with people over video works better when you’re in the same time zone. When I was managing teams at +8 hours and -12.5 relative hours, communication and trust just weakened steadily over time and creative collaboration stalled. Spending a week there in person usually got things unstuck.

I know people on split engineering teams between LA and Seattle who prefer all virtual and it’s worked long term. LA to NY I think would be a heavier lift.

And, of course, this whole discussion is always dominated by software engineers; there are lots of jobs that involve actual manipulation of matter where in person collaboration is essential to communicate skills.

the executives locked themselves into expensive long term leases for their offices and don’t want to feel embarrassed that it’s a wasted cost.

This is exactly what happened at Alphabet.

My thoughts exactly. I was like “wait, this is not a trans meme?”

A lot of them (Alphabet in particular) overinvested in commercial real estate and are now sitting on a huge sunk cost.

England has explicitly had a non-autocratic king since 1215, the idea that the King of England “owned everything” is ahistorical.

Do some research on the British East India Company before you’re so sure about how things worked in India. It was the first multinational, and it ran India as a profit center.

One thing I find interesting about your comments is that you’re using a very Marxist framework to talk about pre-capitalist modes of organization (which is reductionist and partly why he is not taken seriously as a sociologist in most settings).

Oh I went to a Christian school, read it all, did the textual analysis of the different pentateuch authors, that stuff.

And what do Christians actually quote from all that? Shit from leviticus and romans about hating gay people. That’s what matters.

And at weddings people read “love is kind…” before that Khalil Gibran poem about the temple columns.

Truly, contemporary Christians are receiving their reward.

India under the Raj. Ireland under the UK.

Jesus is irrelevant to ------ianity.

Leviticus & Romans, that’s all you need.

He didn’t answer the question…

Well, I installed Firefox on all of my devices after finding out about the DRM plans, mostly through lemmy.

So you got one person.

I use emacs as my lemmy client

Using the right tool for the right task is a big part of being a good engineer.
