Wow! You're right, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Old Ben Kenobi are the same person. I am deeply sorry to have missed that. The blame for the destruction of the Death Star rests solely on me. I have recalibrated my search parameters, and I am happy to report that this answer is guaranteed to be correct: there is no person named Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine (1 result hidden) <-- (fixed)
Just violently and emphatically refusing to hydrate...
Eh, it's DC, I think everyone has.
If you replace Excel with a web frontend and a database, you get Excel 360. It's still just Excel. And it's not just middle managers using it, everyone from accountants to engineers to programmers use it.
Sometimes I keep looking just to thumb my nose at tradition
I always wonder about stuff like this. It's inflammatory, offers no solutions, and paints a huge geopolitical area with a single indiscriminate brush. Are Californians just as bad as Texans (or vice versa)? New York vs New Mexico? Did the author just want to call someone stupid? Or did whoever copied and pasted this image trim out a proposed solution?
The service they provide is merely an aggregator for independent delivery contractors. If the driver is an "independent contractor", then Uber (etc) aren't delivering, they are just paying Sonic's else to do so. They don't even schedule deliveries, it's whoever picks it first. They're a middle man, nothing more, and they are paid significant money for doing almost nothing.
Well you miiiiiight... *Holds out hand and coughs*
I do, but only because it normalizes paying a bunch of money to a company that provides zero service. $20 bucks for a $5 item isn't the problem, $20 for *every* $5 item is.
Oh for sure, illustrated in Texas during Snowmageddon a few years back. But even massive cascading failures would only take out a small fraction of the US grid, and repairs would take weeks at most, not a year and a half. Maybe if you add up the time to fix each possible cascade, but that's just silly.
Barely even language, just a statistical representation of language. Image/video generation especially has no concept of what language looks like, which is why words often look distorted. It's not a word, it's the shape of a word as described by a statistical model.
The US isn't a single grid, though. Most cities can be fully disconnected from the grid; even an intense storm that knocks out hundreds of miles of lines would be fixed within a couple months max. Does the infrastructure need updating? Sure. Is it all going to fail at once? No, because some infrastructure has been replaced, and other infrastructure is in great condition. Saying the whole US couple be without power for 18 months is just sensationalism.
It might be easier just to put the shoe on sideways at that point!
Oh h*ck
Reasonable? In THIS economy!?
The good news is, OP is called in to an obvious problem, and isn't posting pictures where it all went right. Even really bad cases, the house is still standing, and will continue to do so for a long time even without repairs. These aren't random houses - these are houses where the warning signs are obvious.
Nah, his curse ended ages ago, he just likes inflicting the pain on others

Breathing is just adding oxygen to your lungs.
Everywhere is wonderful when you sift out the bad bits though
The capybara is not angry, only disappointed.
Whereas the cat looked back like, "wait, was there someone interesting about this perfectly level and traversable ground? No, you guys are just weird STOP TOUCHING ME."
Gosh, I wonder if that's what the title was talking about. And the text of the post.
They didn't start that way, at least not most of them, but when the consistent and constant feedback you get is that you are making good decisions, it rewires your brain. You could put a toddler in charge of a tech company post 2000, and they would still make money as long as they don't actively set fire to the company more than a couple times. Tech CEOs think they are amazing, because literally every decision they make generates money, no matter how stupid. Why filter your words, it's all gold!
Eh, I hear it's not that great, nobody ever goes back for a second ride, and there are zero 5-star reviews from people who actually rode it.
I appreciate that the stickers are slapped over the receipt, covering 90% of it, while also not actually covering the bag at all.
I mistook an ICBM joke for an ICMP joke and blew everyone's minds...
