What kind of odd take is this. I agree Barbara Lee won't accomplish much in an interim mayor seat but she's mostly beyond reproach and definitely speaks for me!

I saw a great talk by John Romero a few years ago that really underscores how in the early days of computing a few mad geniuses really moved mountains.

I think a Blomkamp directed The Moon is a Harsh Mistress would be far more interesting

This is such an unbelievably bad take.

First, Musk has always been a tool, a nepo baby, and an asshole. Just because American liberals only recently noticed this doesn't mean he used to be great.

Second, this isn't the case of Starlink being State owned and controlled, it's the case of the State being Starlink owned and controlled. That's what was happening in Ukraine and what will continue to happen. If you think for a second that Musk is beholden to anything or anybody I've got a rusty polygon ridden death trap to sell you.

I've been in engineering leadership in early and mid stage start ups in San Francisco for a number of years. Comp varies a bit (the earlier stage the company the more ISO equity I get - for anybody not familiar these are options that are basically worth nothing but in the event of an exit opportunity might be worth tremendously more - vs working for a public company you'd often get RSUs that you could immediately sell or divest) but base in the low 300s. This is in the bay area, so actual purchasing power when compared to cost of living is more like mid 100s elsewhere in the US.

I get the rocket and coriander ones, also the units of measurement but what do you call a bell pepper? (Also how do you differentiate dried cilantro seed powder from the fresh herb? I like to know if I should be using a spice or the fresh plant)

https://wikispeedruns.com/ is ridiculously fun and really tickles the same mental areas as crosswords for me

Also find it funny he was commenting how much he likes SF because it reminds him of Europe. Welcome to Utah. Whoops.

I say this as a huge dubs fan, long time bay area resident, watch every game etc. What playoffs?

Ughhh that was my fear. Haven't built a desktop in probably 20 years. I definitely worry about the time sink mostly in deciding every component, researching if it'll work with linux, sourcing it, hoping it's authentic, etc. Any recent guides you could recommend if I have to go down that route?

The National Rosie the Riveter museum in Richmond California (a stone's throw from Berkeley, SF, Oakland, etc) removed an LGBT exhibit. They also weren't told to do it but did so proactively so as not to fall afoul of Trump's anti DEI order.

Loosey on your high fructoosey?
