Yeah, that was a lot of blood.

I was just at a Costco over this and tbh, I fucking hate all these stores and it's a shame because at least Target around here was the most tolerable of the big box options, at least before they put everything behind glass with no personnel to open it.

What was it like in the before times, before the Walmarts and Targets of the world took over?

Good thing we still have social security when we get older...

/s, with a sigh

I feel seen in this. Sure I've walked 4 miles at 1am a few times but who hasn't?

True, each os is counted each time. Not sure if my own custom build is interesting to them. Think they care about 8 hard drives? Lol

I said similar on bluesky, glad at least Lemmy folks get it. Guy "earns" 4 million per hour mostly by existing. $20 million the equivalent of one of us donating 100 bucks to the Harris campaign or something, which is extremely depressing.

Oh for sure, a "apply to everyone" tarrif isn't a well thought out approach just as firing all probationary hires isn't a well thought out approach. Just hate that people are acting like he also put tarrifs on Atlantis or Wakanda or something because he thinks they exist. An apply all rule would include those places, too, but it's stupid because of why you said, not because he's actively choosing uninhabited islands by hand.

My dad was poking fun at this because it's an old "haha look how dumb Trump is" but like, it's literally a tariff on everything on Earth. It's such a small point compared to the huge mess this whole stupid idea is.

I did my part, I declined the survey because I was temporarily on a Windows partition when it asked.

Honestly I'm pretty sure you can already do this. Your average person is remarkably superstitious and believes in angels and demons and such, it doesn't take much to also think they were cursed. Lol

You're right, the prequels have dead kids, almost no women, and heck, it even has a dear leader taking over the Senate and declaring himself emporer in the name of safety. Republican wet dream.

When I needed to pick up on some basics, it actually did help but ultimately not as much as actual guides and tutorials written online. This image of a chimera certainly matches the kind of Frankenstein code I was getting.

That said, when I was having some very interesting ideas about making automated code in R, it did make for a good sounding board. You don't need to Google when everything in R has documentation but you do when you're combining libraries in unique ways to automate 98% of the stupid shit you do at your data researcher job (e.g. can you look up in our database how many students pick their nose during philosophy class on a Friday?)
