West coast would be fine. California grows over 50% of the fruits and nuts, and 30% of the vegetables for the entire US. The “farm belt” states mostly grow cash crops for animal feed, energy production, and overseas export.

Oh god good ol ActiveSupport. I’m having flashbacks of so many ruby projects trying not to bring it in and basically reinventing it but poorly documented.

I still would say it was the language I’ve most enjoyed (professionally used most all higher level languages over 20+ years) but it might be nostalgia for a time early 2010s when rails was just freaking magic compared to the ways we used to build web apps.

That’s not quite right, the language has defined Int#days and 10 is actually Int(10). 10.days calls the instance method days on an instance of an Int (it has been years since I’ve used ruby so not sure if the stdlib class is actually Int)

What kind of odd take is this. I agree Barbara Lee won’t accomplish much in an interim mayor seat but she’s mostly beyond reproach and definitely speaks for me!

This is such an unbelievably bad take.

First, Musk has always been a tool, a nepo baby, and an asshole. Just because American liberals only recently noticed this doesn’t mean he used to be great.

Second, this isn’t the case of Starlink being State owned and controlled, it’s the case of the State being Starlink owned and controlled. That’s what was happening in Ukraine and what will continue to happen. If you think for a second that Musk is beholden to anything or anybody I’ve got a rusty polygon ridden death trap to sell you.

The National Rosie the Riveter museum in Richmond California (a stone’s throw from Berkeley, SF, Oakland, etc) removed an LGBT exhibit. They also weren’t told to do it but did so proactively so as not to fall afoul of Trump’s anti DEI order.

Snoop is worth ~160M he could definitely have turned down this gig

Ahh sorry I get our misunderstanding now. I meant as an analogy, for an individual your total income is like revenue is for a company (i.e., money in, not accounting for expenses out). AFAIK the payment to Trump came from Meta not from Zuck.

I think personal income is more akin to revenue than profit. If you bring in 100K then you pay out rent, food, expenses, etc and only profit 30K or whatever you manage to save.

It’s 0.0007% of their 2023 revenue. 0.002% of their 2023 profit. To put into realistic terms, if you made $100K it would be like giving 70 cents.

How old are you, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m 40, started paying attention to politics in the Clinton years and then really paying attention with Bush v Gore in 2000. America was full on neolib vs neocon bullshit back then, a quarter of a century ago. The 2nd Iraq War was a big moment for me of realizing that the only thing America stands for is corporate hegemony. Project 25 is no different than the Project for a New American Century, and the “opposition” from the “left” isn’t fundamentally against any of it, they just pay a bit more lip service to culture issues (which are of course important if you aren’t a cis white christian male, but they are clearly not enough).

Tl;dr

Number 1 that’s black beans. Number 2 the punchline is “i dunno but I’ve never paid $20 to have a garbanzo bean on my face”. Number 3 I won’t allow my go to joke to be stolen by these fascist goons!

99 in Berkeley right now. My house was built in like 1928 and since we rent obviously there’s been no energy efficient updating of insulation or anything like that since maybe the 60s. It’s like 94 inside right now. Sitting in front of multiple fans just blowing hot air at me this is the life y’all.

I’m not sure if this is an Oscar reference or a Zizek reference and either way I’m here for it.
