Michael Scott once quoted some guy that said “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

You shot your shot. That’s the important thing.

Good for you!

Fwiw, the cheap olive oil is really good for mayo you make yourself. EVOO should be used for things like salads and bread, where the taste makes the difference.

If you want oil in a pan, cheap stuff works just fine…only you have to be careful because olive oil in the states isn’t always olive oil.

When a democrat does it, it’s literally terrorism.

But when a Republican does it, it’s just a small, isolated incident and barely warrants a charge.

Just a lone wolf.

One time thing.

Never will happen again.

One bad apple.

How could we have known?

You’d think it should be less expensive.

But then you’re not thinking of increasing shareholder value.

How dare you!

Shit, I’m even grateful for when you all tell me off.

Oh fuck off!

Just kidding! I haven’t seen any of your posts here (mostly because I sort by all) but yeah the people in this sub are top tier.

A few weeks ago I came here to ask about building my own computer and which parts to get because it had been years since I’ve done so and everyone was nice about it.

I wish there was the ability to recall federal representatives.

It obviously does not give anyone the right to assault the police. Nor was the January 6 riot an act of civil disobedience, because it was violent, not peaceful; opportunistic, not principled; coercive, not persuasive; and selfish, not patriotic.

Damn…no notes.

The guy represents himself and still managed to get just 7 years.

Idk…seems like he did alright.

It was in reference to the fact that Trump, while president, says he "met with the “President of the Virgin Islands”

Which, despite his press room’s spin, we all know he completely didn’t know that he was the president of the Virgin Islands.

Except me. Right? He totally promised to make me president of Puerto Rico.

Because I’m one of the good ones.

I’m the exception.

Right?

I’ll believe corporations are people when they kill one via lethal injection.

Look into the benefits offered by your other credit cards. My identity was stolen a few years ago and I learned like a few months ago that one of my credit cards offers free identity protection services if/when your identity gets stolen.

They handle all of the annoying shit like contacting the bank, getting the debt off of your credit card, etc.

If not, and you were part of the Equifax (or any) hack, you likely have this same service available to you for free.

Sending an email is much much better than sending a literal hand written letter.

I had one opt out where you had to hand write the letter and envelope. Absolutely no way it was enforceable but didn’t want to risk it at the time.

I don’t think we need more licenses. OSS license proliferation is bad as it is. IMO, people should do their best to stick with the major licenses: GPL, AGPL, MIT, or Creative Commons if it doesn’t fit the above.

The problem with a tax that you’ve proposed is that it would be nearly impossible to enforce. How would you know which companies are pulling your library?

What I’ve been doing is adding the Commons Clause to my license and that I think helps. I don’t write wildly popular software so I don’t really see people donating or asking to purchase a license.

I personally like the Mozilla model where they donate to various open source projects from a common fund. I’d like to see more stuff like that.

It sort of is by license. Not directly but if you’re using one of the more restrictive licenses like GPL 3, it often doesn’t pass legal review due to many of the copy left provisions.

Most companies simply find a similar library that has a more permissive license. A handful will contact the dev and buy a license.

As much as the MIT license has made code more accessible, its permissiveness is the main reason I don’t use it for my own software, unless I really don’t care for it.

Best Buy is great when you need something right now. Like when a hard drive in your RAID dies and you need a hard drive right fucking now.

Buy yeah. I’ve only gone maybe once in the last five years.

Why do you have so many porn tabs open?

My assumption is that it’s only $0.20 because the assumption is that the C-suite of whoever is selling the strawberries is expected to lower their profit margins.

And we know that’s never going to happen.

3031

Do you mean 2031? Because I’m fairly sure our stupidity will lead to us blowing up the planet way before 3031.

There is a saying in engineering.

Anyone can build a bridge.

It takes an engineer who can build a bridge just strong enough to let cars cross it.
