The copy of excel 2007 that lives on my old windows 7 laptops gets really sad every time it has to do my taxes.

I'm quite sure you can't actually claim adverse posession on anything that is court administered (ie in probate) - if that were the case, you'd have people coming out of woodwork left and right to try that just given how long probate takes in general.

Probaby a long shot to find someone admitted to the Florida bar to chime in here.

Pretty sure I didn't have any horses in that race - frankly I found the very coordinated campaign by ostensibly-independent journalistic orgs to discredit the story ahead of the election (russian plot! man your tinfoil hats!) far, far more interesting that pictures of Hunter's dong.

Performatively pretending the above didn't happen is intellectually dishonest.

You mean *after* the election, right? At which point it mattered f_all, other than the sheer entertainment value.

> At least it's not emo.

Huh, that answer reads like a weighted average sentence from someone's live journal circa 2001. Definitely emo!

Is there an alternate reality where the dem aligned mass media didn't completely bury the ridiculously salacious laptop story (drugs, money for access aaaand onlyfans level nudity!!) to steer the election?

Because i distinctly recall the head of what to that point I though was a credible journalistic organization saying she didnt want to "waste people's time" with that.

I was under the impression that even people on the left now find these sort of strictly-performative outbursts passé ?

> BYD is selling EVs for US$14K in Australia

Tech people seem to really be confused about the concepts of revenue and net income; must be the whole VC we lose money on every item, but make it up on volume thing.

So much this. My average linkedin in exprience is a sprinkling of updates from people i personally know, in an oceon of inane "content" by ~$0 net worth people with 40 word self professed titles.

I am still baffled that microsoft is positioning that asset as a professional product. Imagine if bloomberg terminal landing page was a scrolling feed of aspiring influencer bullshit.

It’s disappointing to see Redditesque room temp iq discourse in the comments.

Has anyone mentioned the expected cost per Mwh of this project to get a sense whether this made economic sense, or are we talking Biden admin adjacent vanity political project paid by rate payers?

Just for reference, the hopefully-cancelled Empire wind near me had a 20yr PPA of $155mwh, which makes Vogtle (-~$170mwh) look like a steal.

More numbers and less foaming at the mouth, please.

Make it high vis safety yellow with flashing lights, because the number one use case, and bulk of the selling point, is having other people ask you about it.

I love that comments like these incept million tech bro look-at-my-clout responses for having learned some subset of the magic incantations to make git barely usable... As if you get an award for mental heuristics to put up with a poorly architected product with leaky abstraction all over.

If you mentions reflogs, i'm yelling bingo.

Bonus points: You have 3 new commits and in one there is a change in file.stupid, how many git bs things does it take to revert file.stupid to previous version while keeping the rest of the change set.
