…it’s clearly a recently-filmed parody…

…i use four WQXGA displays at work but i think i might be more productive with a pair of curved WQUXGA displays even though i’d lose a little vertical real estate; two curved 5Ks would be great…

…well he’s not…

…what about amber displays?..our VT-200 terminals were green, yes, but our lab full of packard-bells were amber…

^{(or my applecolor monitor 100 which could toggle between monochrome green and full color modes)}

…here’s the thing most folks don’t realise: as a metropolitan area, austin skews far more conservative than san antonio…

_{(we actually meet in the basement of the alamo)}

As a European, the whole registering to vote thing is honestly one of the wildest parts of the US elections to me. It’s so unnecessary complicated and prone to errors/manipulation.

…what the electorate consider a bug the politicians consider a feature…

…i’ve done a buck fourty-five in my convertible with the top down: it’s LOUD…at one fifty-five, pushing with all two hundred horsepower, my car can’t make any further headway against the wind and buildings are a lot less aerodynamically efficient…

…i’ve ridden out a half-dozen hurricanes but category fives are get-out-of-town devastating…

…i don’t think he wants anything other than to keep uncle vlad at bay…

…ah, i may be conflating contextal menus with opening new tabs, since that’s the primary UI mode i use to do so: regardless, any kind of shenanigans which aim to disable application-level UI get under my skin…

…and now you’ve hit upon my other peeve: (mostly shopping) sites coded to disable browsing links in a new tab…

…she’s half caribbean and half south-asian…

…is that black?..that’s on you…
…does it matter?..that’s on you, too…

…any issue says more about the person asking the questions than it does about the candidate; what i think is noteworthy is that nobody’s talking about her gender, a fact which constitutes a substantial milestone for cultural progress…

…no, staff must descend into the hollowed grounds…

…partly it’s cultural, partly it’s legal immunity from abuses of power…

…law enforcement receives negligible training nor regulation, funds itself on the spoils of abuse, bullies anyone who objects, is immune to accountability, and readily hops jurisdictions in the event of public backlash…

…i do a lot of work with texas municipalities and universities and all their standard contracts include a section forbidding us or any of our subconsultants from boycotting israel…

The company is tainted forever.

…he didn’t found the company, engineer the cars, systems, nor infrastructure: there’s a lot of salvageable value in tesla if he goes away…

…i’m surprised to see DHL rank so highly in that list: what’s their domestic market focus, business-to-business freight logistics?..i seldom see DHL packages and when i do they’re almost exclusively of international origin…

the car’s on fire
and there’s no driver at the wheel
and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
and a dark wind blows

…yeah, they’re going to jump from five baby boomers straight to millennials next change of the guard, and like, whatever, man: we acclimated to disenfranchisement thirty years ago…

• In 1955, 44% of Americans planned a summer vacation

…i consider 2001 the watershed year after which it well and truly shed its legacy, flawed though it may have been…
