80 kilos of cocaine is quite a lot, it really should be disposed of safely.

Why the heck is orange douche even commenting… ah, ofc, to look after daddy Putin.

I have a 9 year old laptop and it’s just fine for pretty much anything you can do in a browser, and that’s enough for me, 95% of the time.

Haha, I didn’t know they did that, and it sounds like a fun read. Does anyone have a link?

Their revenue probably felt very threatened.

That might be exactly what he has done?!

US: Mental health issue? Here, take a bullet.

I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying.

What I wrote was based on my personal experience, managing engineers on product teams and how I approached the role as manager.

We owned the products we developed and maintained and as a team we enjoyed great autonomy, and so we were spared customers/clients asking for the ridiculous, and I can probably count on one hand (ok, maybe two hands) the times we just had to do something because corporate said so.

We always pushed for engineers’ involvement in product and feature development, planning/roadmaps, and they did indeed have great influence over the what and the how. Push back from engineers on products’ suggestions/ideas/plans were frequent, and attention was paid.

This was for a company in Norway, where perhaps top down management isn’t as prevalent as in many other places, and employees are typically encouraged to speak up and get involved. Again, in my experience.

I found that being there to support and assist my engineers, not micro managing them, gave great results in terms of team culture and work satisfaction. I made it clear that I would always have their backs as long as they didn’t intentionally fuck something up.

I fully realize this isn’t the case everywhere, nor even typical.

All said, I really enjoyed being a manager. On some level it triggered a father’s instincts in me, and I took great pride in looking after people and seeing what they were capable of building as a team.

As a former tech manager, I’d argue you’re a pretty shit manager if you tell your people how to solve a problem. Guide, inform, clarify, help remove obstacles etc. etc., but the solution is for the engineers to find.

Without a doubt, she was chasing after Scrappy starting the second she realized they were trapped in the mountains, and he valiantly evaded her until hunger and exhaustion set in.

Yeah, I liked this one. The first layer is “haha, he’s not wearing pants, rad lad”, then the next layer hits; “oh shit, he is wearing pants, and he’s definitely not doing what he wants…”.

The Norwegian postal service announced they’re halting shipment of all parcels with a value below $800 to the US, starting today, as there’s just too much uncertainty around return processes and responsibility.

I’m starting to wonder if picking idiots to run a country isn’t such a grand idea. /s

I’m sure Trump will see many, many great and fabulous reasons to re-platform him.

Well why, would you look at that, a fellow rapist, and he’s a trafficker too?! Hey, Elon, Suck, promote this man NOW!

That’s when sugar momma enters the kitchen.

Yes, but, well, they wouldn’t see me if I were to wear camouflage, so it would be a non-issue. /s

Mhm. I’d argue that had he actually been a savvy businessman he never would’ve had a show like that.

Exactly, and the supposed victims were all kidnapped and sent to Guantanamo Bay.

This is why, if you ask a new yorker how they experienced 9/11, their response will more than likely be; “9/11? I think you mean 7/11, and there’s one right over there”

I quit reddit, cold turkey, the day they shut off free API access for 3rd parties. Except for a couple of fairly niche subs I haven’t missed it at all.

It would be nice if some newcomers could drive Nvidia into the ground.

I remember wanting one of these. Can’t remember why I didn’t get one, but I do remember thinking it was a breath of fresh air as far as car stereos go.
