Holy fuck, the grift is so blatant that I’m almost beginning to respect it.

Never go into the cave

Magastan shit

Buying assumes a willing seller, and I don’t think ByteDance are willing.

Cross-platform frameworks generally make for truly shit apps, though.

So yeah, there’s a valid excuse in that you actually want to build a good product for the end users - cross-platform frameworks are antithetical to that goal

Unfortunately, I believe coffee might be a different beast. I’m not sure you will be able to achieve desirable results with that type of equipment.

In fact, James Hoffmann recently made a video on whether it’s possible to roast coffee beans in an airfryer recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyLXmbTnJIY (tl;dw: not if you want good coffee)

Freshly roasted coffee beans. A bag sets me back maybe $13 or so and gets me approximately 10 cups. Not what I would call outrageously expensive but I enjoy it a whole lot

I r8 it 8/8

I’m not sure if you’re up to date on how layoffs have been done lately in tech, but management has been primary targets in layoffs. Full layers of management have been removed, and middle managers have often been expected to take on twice as many reports for no increase in compensation.

No comments on the C-level part which is largely correct

rent control

Rent control is such a poor substitute for building massive amounts of social housing. I wish it would stop taking up oxygen in the debate already so that we can focus on effective solutions instead

To be clear, I’m not necessarily against sign language interpreters.

They do miss out on what I consider to be an important part of accessibility though - they are not an example of universal design. High-quality captions are an example of universal design, which gives them higher staying power (what right-winger would move to kill captions?) and makes it easier to justify investments.

I think Mexico should invest in building some kind of border wall to keep all of the harmful stuff from the U.S out. They could even make the U.S pay for it

That seems like a problem that would be well addressed by investing more resources into the live captioning process, though.

SPRÄNGA

Indeed! I was planning on mentioning that as well but forgot.

IKEA is an acronym: Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd - the name of the founder Ingvar Kamprad, the village of Elmtaryd (now spelled Älmtaryd) located in the parish of Agunnaryd.

Älmtaryd/Agunnaryd are located in Småland.

It is indeed.

It’s a bit of a play on words, since Småland literally translates to Small land, making it apt as this is where you can leave your children at IKEA.

I looked up the etymology of the name out of interest, and it seems like it stems from it being made up of a collection of smaller self-ruling villages, located between Skåne that has often been under Danish control, and Götaland which was controlled by Götar.

Someone put a silly version of Ride of the Valkyries on this please

Don’t look up, Nazi boy

otherwise it will be just another cost to pass on to the client.

There’s literally nothing wrong with this - just pass it on.

You’ll make it out ahead on the time savings alone, which you as someone who necessarily must travel by car will stand to gain the most from.

Contrary to what this poster is claiming, it’s been a raging success in every place it’s been implemented, as can be seen in the meta-analyses of studies on the policy.

But don’t believe me nor the poster, read the meta-analyses yourself so that you come away truly informed.
