Rubber ducks can't write comments repeatedly asking for clarification on Jira tickets that just say "[X] doesn't work" or attend pointless meetings. They still need devs for that.

On the other hand, rubber ducks also lack the sentience required to reflect, with dissolutionment, on a career that's been wasted working on poorly executed projects which were doomed to failure.

Lucky little yellow bastards.

Fixed it. Probably been a couple decades since I've seen that movie.

Touche.

A flying nasty dirt magnet that takes you places.

So basically JavaScript with TypeScript.

One takes you places, the other is a nasty dirt magnet. Which one is which is entirely subjective.

Most general purpose programming languages nowadays are designed to be easily human readable. But with this, I now have to understand the syntax of another "programming language" in addition to the programming language it outputs. How is this helpful in any way?

There are already plenty of template generators that can generate boiletplate code with parameters. This seems like a complete waste of time.

They're not dumb because they're Arabs. Your comment is the only one I've seen implying that and that's a completely ridiculous take. They're dumb because Trump's policies have consistently been anti-arab and they voted for him anyway with the expectation that he was somehow going to do a 180.

People who voted for leopard are now shocked when the leopard is eating their faces.

Mass extinction due to the rapidly changing climate worsened by the sheer volume of hot air coming from Moscow will get us long before ~~Russian~~ Soviet -- like they have anything more modern -- nukes.

Too many people tried using them as hammers.

Murthy claimed he himself worked six and a half days a week until retirement, typically 14 hours and 10 minutes a day, clocking on at 6:20 AM before downing tools at 8:30 PM.

What a fucking slacker wasting ~66 hours per week that he could have been GRINDING. Pathetic.

GE, the conglomerate, no longer exists. They sold off most of the divisions and spun off the three remaining into their own business. GE Aerospace is the "corporate successor" but as of 2024, the old General Electric is no more.

 
 
 

If necessity is the mother of invention, laziness is the grandaddy.

I have almost a half acre which gets covered in oak leaves during the fall. I have to get them all to the burn pile on one end of the property which usually involves blowing them into separate piles and transporting each pile to the burn pile a bit at a time.

I figured there has to be an easier way to do this. I used a leaf blower/vac, a 4" flexible hose, and an insulation disposal bag that I had leftover from another project. It works pretty good. Actually better than the vacuum does with the shoulder bag probably because the airflow isn't as restricted.

 
 
 

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult although I've demonstrated clear symptoms since early childhood. I manage pretty well with medication.

I tend to "fidget" a lot throughout the day with involuntary movements that tend to vary periodically for reasons that I've never understand. Sometimes it's popping my ears or clenching my jaw. Sometimes it's "popping" my toes, bouncing my leg, or snapping my fingers, etc.

Recently, my wife told me something that I did not know. Apparently I do the same sort of involuntary movements at night to the point that it wakes me up. She said it's been going on for years. I honestly had no idea. It kind of fits the description of "Periodic Limb Movement Disorder." There are some theories that "PLMD" can be a comorbidity with ADHD although the research on this is pretty sparse.

Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing and are there any viable treatment options?

 
 

I had to show off my newest acquisition. Picked up an old Rockwell 22-650 planer from a guy on Craigslist. I replaced the knives, greased it, and dialed it in. It works great! If I ever have to move it again, I'll get someone with a tractor to help. Still not sure how I managed to muscle all 400+ lbs of it into the basement by myself. I was dumb enough to try that once but not enough to do it twice.
