Pretty sure Don Draper made this ad.

Note to self: take up lock picking.

I started 3d printing during COVID when people started talking about printing masks. I realized quickly that that wasn’t a great idea but I had the printer at that point. Discovered quickly that it’s was fun and useful for all kinds of stuff.
Printing lead to microcontrollers and minicomputera as I came up with cool stuff to print for neat home automation and various other useful tools.
This led to having a couple Raspberries kicking around which led me to extensive, self-hosted home automation. That’s my current obsession.
I’m wondering where this goes next.

The supreme Court is specifically saying the order is legal. He could say it’s part of his official duties, in which case the order itself would be legal. His official duties include commanding the armed forces. If the president gives an order, a marine or a Navy SEAL cannot choose to not follow that order on legal grounds. They can choose to not follow on moral grounds but that refusal in itself would be illegal. Should it come to that, I would hope the vast majority of the armed forces would refuse the order.
In her dissent, justice Sotomayor specifically said that the president could order an assassination and could not be prosecuted for it. I am assuming she knows more than you are I about how the legal system works.

His job is to support and defend the Constitution of the United states. You certainly can argue that protecting the integrity of the voting system is part of that job.

Reasonable

Who’s to say what’s reasonable.

when challenging the election, that is not an official act

Why not? He could make the argument that the election was stolen and ignoring it is in the best interest of the United states.

They should kill his father Hudson instead. That guy was a dick.

If someone is blocked I’d be pretty cranky if they waited until the next day to mention it. Blockers are to be dealt with swiftly and with extreme prejudice.

Stand-ups can become so proforma. What did you do yesterday? I coded. What are you doing today? I am going to code. Do you have any blockers? No. It gets a little repetitive after a while.

Right? I find agile purists to be some of the least flexible people I’ve ever met. They are the exact opposite of agile. To be fair though, I have found that a good scrum master can be worth their weight in gold. You always know the status of a project and the individual stories. It can be very, very helpful.

Commonly you will have a relatively broad goal of providing some functionality by the time a project is done. Every sprint, commonly two weeks, you concentrate on producing a piece of functionality that will get you closer to that goal. At the end of a sprint, many teams are expected to have what’s called a minimally viable product that is technically usable. The problem with that concept is MVP almost always becomes production. That results in poor coding that is hard to support. It almost always involves rework later on, often when something is already in production. And you are not crazy. Not having a clear idea of what you’re coding for is wasteful and very inefficient.

It is a methodology to develop software quickly. It has some good things about it. But it can be very heavy on meetings and agile idealists are not very flexible. As many of the other comments say, a mixture of agile and some other methodology or starting with agile and developing your own process that works for your team or project is the best way of managing a project. I don’t understand why so many people don’t seem to write requirements when using agile. Even with agile I will not start coding until I have relatively clear requirements. It is not too bright to start speculative development without really knowing where you are going. https://agilemanifesto.org/

Used to smoke 2 packs a day. Quit 20 years ago. Quit because I figured I always smelled like smoke which greatly diminished the dating pool. I missed it every day until I managed to get hooked on nicotine pouches. Was using 10-15 of the 8mg On every day. Managed to do that in secret for years. Quit those about a year ago after my wife found out. Now I get to miss smoking AND nicotine pouches every single day. I love nicotine. I miss it every single day. I think about it all the time. If I ever found myself single again I would go back in a heartbeat. I am salivating just writing this. It is evil shit.

The joke is on them. I don’t back up anything.

I got the 5 a few years back. Great printer but I didn’t like the bounce in the platform so I printed stabilizers. Didn’t like the placement of the extruder moved it up top. Added the HeroMe. Still didn’t like the bounce of the plate so added a second z-axis. Added direct drive extruder. Linear rails. SKR mini. AC bed heater. Klipper. Mosquito Magnum. Prolly some other stuff. About the only original parts are the frame. I used it to learn how to print. And I printed some great stuff along the way. But it’s good now. I pretty much just print. But I really like that Bondtech LGX. Might have to try that out. :-D

Sunglasses. Would go thru 4 or 5 pairs of cheap plastic lense sunglasses every year. The lenses would always get all scratched. Bit the bullet and bought a pair of Costas 3 years ago. Lenses still look brand new.

It’s not family without a pizza party.

They give many fucks about what their donors want.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
