  • I can kind of get behind like Grandma renting out a house that she spent 30 years paying off so that she isn’t starving on social security alone kind of stuff.

    maybe like an allowance that an individual could at most have one home they’re renting out. there should also be significant controls about the price of rent, maybe tied to the price of home purchases so that renters could not get screwed paying more than they would have had to pay to buy the place.

    but in my opinion no corporation should be able to rent homes.

    honestly even apartments should be required to have a lease own option that is not significantly different cost than renting.


  • yeah they definitely need to improve degradation time, but there absolutely is reason to use them instead of TP.

    I don’t use all the time but tried them during recovery based on the recommendation of the surgeon that removed my hemorrhoids.

    significantly easier on the healing bum than tp was, bidet gets most of it but you’re not 100% clean every time.

    (I don’t think I’ve ever not had to wipe a time or two even after lots of movement and higher pressure on bidet. wipes clean better than tp, and bidet just doesn’t get everything unless you’re one of those lucky people that wouldn’t use much tp anyway)




  • maybe I am missing something that I don’t see why that is an objectionable position? like obviously the ceasefire needs to happen immediately but what is wrong with hostage release as part of it?

    not that long ago politicians were doing anything they could to avoid the word ceasefire and now they’re actively calling for it I’m really not thinking that this is an unchanged position but I am willing to listen if I have some drastic misunderstanding.


  • honestly doesn’t it seem like this change of direction is him listening? Even weeks ago I would have never thought I would have heard the words ceasefire out of his mouth.

    to me this seems like a direct response of the message people sent to him with the Michigan primary and I am happy to see it.

    doesn’t mean I’m happy with what he’s done so far or even that he has not immediately taken direct action but this is a pivot and failing to acknowledge it weakens protest actions like this in the future.


  • I definitely spent a frustrated 45 minutes trying to figure out why curl wasn’t working when it was supposed to be supported in PowerShell.

    then I hit tab a couple of times and noticed curl.exe was an option, that works exactly the same as I had expected with original syntax.

    they do this to a lot of things though a lot of common commands end up being an alias to a powershell command with a specific option set that doesn’t always line up





  • do you mean negative reinforcement?

    it’s like a grid right

    • positive = add
    • negative = remove
    • reinforcement = good thing
    • punishment = bad thing

    so things that we want:

    • positive reinforcement = add good thing
    • negative punishment= remove bad thing

    things we don’t want

    • negative reinforcement= remove good thing
    • positive punishment= add bad thing









  • at my old company I had a co-worker who was moderately competent if he tried but didn’t seem to do so all that often.

    My boss had been dangling a promotion for me for a few months, and I’d put in some extra work during that time related to my co-worker who seemed to be unable to manage a development team for one of his projects.

    promotion time came and even though my manager was very aware that I was doing a significant portion of a co-worker’s job, they offered the co-worker the promotion in order to keep them around since they had another job offer.

    I think I was gone in about 2 months? didn’t take too long to line something better up.
