mordnis commented on The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee (1830)   quod.lib.umich.edu/m/mqra... · Posted by u/jxmorris12

I used to drink a lot of coffee, eventually settling on the SkullCrusher brand, which I loved, for my single coffee of the day; My morning coffee.

One day, I decided that I would quit, and what followed was around 8 days of the worst headache I have had in a long time.

Now, I wake full of energy and feeling sharp.

The smell of coffee makes me want one, but the dullness and headache are good deterrents.

I drink coffee 3-4 times a month. No headaches.
mordnis commented on Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court   bbc.com/news/live/c0l9r67... · Posted by u/blackguardx

The ruling was 6-3 with Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh dissenting.

Kavanaugh's dissent is particularly peculiar as he wrote 'refunding tariffs already collected could be a “mess” with “significant consequences for the U.S. Treasury.”'

So, the justification is that undoing an illegal act is going to be unwieldy for the govt, so presumably, as a corollary, the govt must be allowed to continue doing illegal acts. This honestly reads as a blanket support for Trump personally, than any reasoned legal argument.

I think this is normal for the supreme court, I've heard that they largely upheld abortion in the 1992 case because they thought it would be a mess to undo, even though they thought the original ruling was unconstitutional.

How does a potential positive contributor pierce through? If they are not contributing to something already and are not in the network with other contributors? They might be a SME on the subject and legit have something to bring to the table but only operated on private source.

I get that AI is creating a ton of toil to maintainers but this is not the solution.

He answered it in the thread: Basically, the system has no opinion on that, but in his projects he will vouch anyone who introduces themselves like a normal human being when opening a PR.

It's about a guy who thinks posting child porn on twitter is hilarious and that guy happens to own twitter.

If it was about blocking the social media they'd just block it, like they did with Russia Today, CUII-Liste Lina, or Pavel Durov.

He said that child pornography is funny? Do you have a link by any chance?

> When CEOs and founders and project leads leverage their audience for politics, then their tools are absolutely a political choice. Be it DHH’s latest fasho ramblings or every time you do ‘swift build’ - Tim Cook takes a selfie with a sex offender.

I don't follow. Are you implying that by using Ruby on Rails or Omarchy one is fasho aligned ? Or that people that use Swift somehow support sex offenders ?

Sure sounds that way.

I envy your willingness to debate here. It's a pretty hostile place for a position you're defending.

That doesn't mean anything. I quite often start with writing a proof-of-concept, and only initialize the git repository when I'm confident the POC will actually lead to something useful. Common sense says that those files already existed at the time of the first commit.

I wonder how do you not understand this was a joke. Did you not fully read it? Or it's just not obvious enough?

There's also this other thing he said: Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.

As the parent of a small child, there is a very noticeable difference in social skills that develop immediately as a result of my child being in a daycare interacting with other children of a similar age. Compared to my friends' same age children who are mostly staying at home and babysat by a grandparent.

(as a disclaimer, the daycare has very good teachers/caregivers from what I can tell so I'm sure that's part of it as well)

In my opinion, grandparents are the worst. They completely spoil them.
