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.

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.

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?

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.

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…”

So maybe you’d be a good person to ask who wrote The Moon Rules #1 on my car with a key.

That filthy superhero made the orange juice you’re drinking

This tickles a VERY specific part of my brain.

Sure you don’t need 5 min, but you could use 5 to talk about all the shadiness and still not cover it all.

The guys at Pod Save America/The World seem to each have their own individual that gets under their skin more than most. Pieffer has/had Paul Ryan, Lovett has Rubio, and Rhodes has Kushner.

Whenever his name is brought up on those pods, it’s a 50/50 shot whether Rhodes or Vietor go on a 5 minute rant roasting Kushner and just how slimy he’s been.

Based on that 195x10 it SHOULD be somewhere in the 250’s. However I’m discovering a psychological roadblock to lifting heavy weights that I’m trying to overcome. As of right now the best I’ve successfully done is 225, so I’m trying to get my brain comfortable repping out weights that start with a 2 and then trying again.

Benched 195 for 10 reps. Growing up, crossing the 200 lb bench was basically my peak achievement. Now, 2 kids and a job later, I’m repping the same weight like it’s no big deal

Love the squat doctor. I’ve used his videos to make improvements on my squat and deadlift mobility.

A week or so ago I had just finished a tough workout at my big box gym and was heading back to my car around sunrise. I looked up and saw the most beautiful and massive pink and purple ripples stretched out from the edge of the horizon to where I was standing. It was so impressive that I had to stop a moment in the middle of the parking lot and soak it in. Then, within 2 minutes, the clouds had shifted and everything returned to a depressing gray.

Beauty like this is everywhere, but it sure can be fleeting.

Enjoy those tacos now, for in 1000 years they will be illegal… eh Ha Ha Ha! I think we all know why.
