I was on the Virtuoso team at Altsys. Until Freehand was murdered by Adobe, there was still a ton of NeXT flavor in it.


Yeah, I was a beta-tester for Freehand/MX and argued then that the NeXTstep code should have been revived to make a Cocoa app rather than the MacOS front-end to make a Carbon app.


Bruh. Short leg long torso bro here as well. I try to buy shirts in tall sizes. I can tuck them in!

Good news, Italian sports cars and motorcycles seem designed for our body.


They will also grab with their toes. Place your finger across their toes between the foot and the sweet little toesies and they will grip your finger pretty hard. We monkey


I did some back of the envelope calculations and it looked to me that the leakage would fill Lake Austin from empty to the brim. That’s a lot of water


This is one example of why I've stopped listening to climate change alarmists. Instead of doing the grunt work of local utility maintenance, it's so much easier to blame "climate change". The climate may be changing, but it's a convenient excuses to not do anything.

Another example - in NYC a few years back, several people died when floodwaters entered their basement homes.

Mayor De Blasio: Climate change.

Local resident: you guys didn't clean out the drains, it's all clogged.

I'm not sure if I understand your logic. People who advocate to stop climate change (alarmists?) literally never use is as a convenient excuse "not to do anything." If you could provide an example I'd be happy to take that statement back.

Instead, the point is that, due to climate change, we're having more and more instances where something as trivial as a clogged drain can lead to people drowning in their basement apartments.

EDIT: On reflection, the so-called "climate change alarmists" who say you should "not do anything" are probably shills for big corporations, who want to save money on risk mitigation by saying there's no point because it's too late to mitigate the risks of climate change.


Yeah, if anything I think that people alarmed about climate change tend to skew left, and left-leaning people also tend to feel that the government should do more, in general. "This is a problem and we should ignore it" is the opposite of alarmism.


Points off for lack of blink tag. Do better


Sloth returned surprisingly many results, 92 Deviant returned 5 (cmon NY, do better) Sherpa five but two false positives, two Gap ads about Sherpa fleece, two genuine including Sherpa consulting which seems pretty niche Defenestrate got zero


<Cue Borat impression>My wife</end> works at a legit, long-established, high volume retail store. Some of the time she keeps books there. They just weigh money, it’s accurate enough for them.


This should become a verb. Mullenweged


A strain of influenza appears to have disappeared from the planet since COVID. As a result, U.S. flu vaccines have been redesigned.


I remember vividly the first meal I had made with a microwave. Early 70s. Went to someone’s house for dinner. Dinner was meatloaf. Cooked in a microwave. If you like steamed ground beef you would have LOVED this meatloaf.
