I mean, I wear band merch all the time, which is basically t-shirts, hats and hoodies that advertise the band.

My old workplace (rip, got a acquired and the new company ran it to shit) was down the street from a daycare. It had discount plans for the daycare. During lunch/breaks, some of my co-workers would spend time with their kids.

I thought it was a good best of both worlds. Still have the separation, but still get to spend time with your kids.

My last two guitars were Ormsby’s, from Australia.

The main benefit of it is a lot of the MAGA movement will wither with him gone. Someone will be a successor to it, but I don’t think anyone is as influential to that movement as he is.

Wage theft is considered a civil offense in most jurisdictions, not a criminal. It’s by design, things like arrests and prosecution can only happen for criminal charges.

I think NY only very recently made wage theft classify as a larceny offense, under some circumstances.

Cradle of Filth is one of the worst examples to bring up, lol. Principles of Evil Made Flesh and V:Empire is mostly about vampirism and satanism. They literally have albums (Cruelty and Dusk) about Elizabeth Bathory sacrificing children in rituals to Satan to keep her youth and so many songs in Midian have Anti-Christian themes including a protagonist in one of the songs burning down a church.

But agree with you, only a small fraction of metal is satanic, it’s mostly limited to a small subsection of Black Metal. Although… the wiki page for Early Black Metal in Norway is always a fun read. :)

It’s probably mixed, and no real general consensus. I’m sure there are people welcoming Americans, I’m sure there are people annoyed by the new influx of people, but I’m sure most people don’t care at all or don’t even know Americans are moving to it.

They’re gonna blame the dems for anything bad, and their base is gonna rally behind that.

You know what? I might even ring that bell icon to be notified.

With the new Mac, on the otherwise of the laptop there is a 3.5mm combo jack, so you can still use your IEMs and headphones.

Depends on what kind of programmer.

If you’re doing data engineering/science (more of an adjacent field), you need to know linear and probability pretty well to build models, or have data harvested in ways that can be put into vectors.

If you’re doing relational DB stuff (like SQL) set theory helps a lot.

Basic boolean operations in general is also good to know. You don’t need to go too deep in the weeds of boolean math unless you’re also doing a lot of hardware-level stuff.

Any field you go into (not just programming), I would say just basic math for regular financial competency is good to know. Also to analyze your budgeting, your costs, time spent, effort needed, etc.

Student debt was not a campaign platform he ran on, it was something he did during his presidency.

He did run on Green New Deal and the original proposal that later became the $2 trillion Infrastructure investment/bill/plan.

But to your point, yes he ran on platforms that people got excited. Both of those platforms were new economic opportunities for people in a time when people when much of the labor class was jobless from COVID.

Microphone check is usually abbreviated as “mic check”.

He did a " Mike check", by asking the room who is Michael, usually abbreviated as Mike.

Public funding? In my freedom!? Get that communist nonsense out of here!!!

Another huge expensive problem is transporting it is not easy. At room at atmospheric pressure and temperature, it takes up like 2-3 grams per gallon of space, making it super inefficient to transport.

You could pressurize it, but that makes it insanely flammable and a risk of it leaks. You could also cryo-freeze it, but that is also very expensive to transport, it require a lot of energy to freeze it, maintain it during long transports, and to unfreeze it at it’s destination.

Building a hydrogen delivery infrastructure is probably the best way to overcome this, but that would also take years and billions.

I’m no expert on the field, but I’d imagine a lot of energy departments would rather do that cost and effort towards building new green energy plants that can deliver power to grids rather than only help cars. Car-wise, most things are transitioning to hybrid or electric anyways, so they also benefit from a green power plant.

Already have, will continue to.

People deciding to use threads as forums is not Discord’s fault.

At further inspection they’re also wearing Spongebob lapel pins.

These still don’t change the fact that I am more confused by that than anything else.

I think I’m more confused by spongebob playing in the background more than anything.

No no no, you see, when the left does it, it’s cancel culture and literally communism. When the right does it, it’s voting with your dollar, literally capitalism. Not comparable at all!!
