These places already exist, they're your local game stores! Show up, play games with other people. If you like competition most host official tournaments for various TCG's and table top war-games. These tournaments usually forbid devices while playing, since they can be used to gain unfair advantage, so you are forced to be offline by default. (Plus it's considered rude to be on your phone during a match.)

I had almost forgotten about Tumbleleaf. Such a gem of a show. The submarine episodes really stand out.

Rain one of my favorite episodes. The amount of story packed into 8 minutes with just music and animation is so good.

It's a great show that demonstrates how to play with your kids. Though I do appreciate the episodes where the parents are exhausted, or must do chores, instead of playing with their kids.

Driving around the midwest in the winter time I find I get about 200 miles to the full charge. The cold weather, increased wind speeds, and need to run the heater all eat into the range substantially.

I hear you about wanting to drive up north for outdoor winter sports. It requires a lot more planning once north of Grand Rapids to make sure you won't end up stranded.

Many times I'll stop at a supercharger early just to take advantage of the battery heating the charging provides. That alone makes the rest of the trip more efficient, and I can get back below 300 wh/mi. The heated seats and steering wheel also make a big difference and allow the heat pump to not have to do so much work.

I've owned a Model Y for about a year now, and range anxiety isn't a big deal on road trips as long as you're using the built in nav for your destination. The nav calculated estimations tend to be very accurate, within a few percent when it determines the battery remaining, and it'll add in supercharger stops as needed.

I definitely have to stop more in the winter time on road trips, but that's just the nature of how EVs work. On the upside Tesla puts superchargers in spots that make it easy to take a break for a rest stop anyway.

I do miss how quick gas station stops are with ICE cars when doing a road trip, especially if you're on a constrained schedule, but the benefits of having the EV have outweighed it so far, especially with most of my daily miles being in the city (where the EV really shines).

I'm not even sure why college students would need dating apps. You are in a relatively dense environment surrounded by people your own age, in a similar phase of life. You have to actively work not to meet people you want to date.

I've encountered this situation in multiple projects where style lint was enabled, with only the defaults, and passed the linter without issue.

Tailwind is seeing steadily increasingly popularity (and the accompanying backlash) because it is straight forward and does not require something like stylelint to keep you from hurting yourself.

What causes me to constantly shudder is when I have to use project wide search to find the class name on an element so I can see what was caused the computed styles in the browser to occur.

  1. Find source file with class name. See the scss extension, dread rises a bit.
  2. See scss file has multiple @import directives and uses multiple custom functions.
  3. Open up 4 more scss files to see what those imports and functions do. See that those files also use @import directives. Find some Malort, take a shot.
  4. Repeat step 3 until arriving at root of style hierarchy or pass out.

That's why Tailwind works. It may result in a very long line of small classnames to represent all the styles across many breakpoints, but at least you don't have to deal with somebody else's own little hellish adventure into perfectly reusable scss.

Oy. I read this exact same part of the post and my head tilted sideways as I tried to figure out if this was satire or not.

Velocity is useful as a team measure, for the team to take on the appropriate amount of work for sprint. It is a measure to assist them predictably delivering work requested by their stakeholders.

Using as a statistic to be improved by an individual? I don't even.

This seems logical. The software engineers are likely going to be some of the highest paid employees, so laying off underperforming engineers is going to help reduce labor costs substantially.

Many of these engineers have been hired for new business units that didn't end up being profitable with cheap credit going away. Others might be in business unit that is purely a cost center.

Nothing has really changed over the past few decades. Regardless of your role strive to be part of the company that produces the company's profit. Try to avoid parts of the company that are viewed as cost centers and are constantly under the eye of finance as they manage costs. You will find how are you treated in good and bad times radically different.
