Did they confirm both cars were actually stolen, and not just that ALPRs had fucked up and reported the played wrong?

Depending on the brand it might have been better 40 years ago. Or if it was wonder bread, you just liked the sugar in it.

If The Meg didn’t end it, nothing will.

There’s more weird projectionists in that party than a 1970s Times Square porno theater.

Done, I stopped 8 years ago when my son was born and I didn’t want his photos in there.

Eh, underestimating new England’s 4000 footers is how most people end up dying out there. The trees are way more dense, and all the same age because of re-forestation after the 1800s. So going off trail is a terrible idea.

Also as was said before, the puny 6000ft Mount Washington wind speed is actually the highest recorded on earth (not inside a tornado anyway). But it’s just a symptom of how fast the weather changes and that is most often what kills people.

Oh yeah, and for the skiers and boarders out there, if you learned to ski in New England, you can ski anywhere. “New England Packed powder” (blue ice with occasional groomer tracks in it) separates the pros from the joeys.

Probably. I stopped serious dev a decade ago now and just manage some old sites as a side gig.

That’s what I like about Ruby ORMs. They did all the conversion for you, and you could have SQLite on your dev box, Postgres on the test server and MySQL on the annoying production host that wouldn’t run anything else.

This was 18 years ago though.

Our dog is kinda gray, but his hair is banded black/white/black. So it shows up on anything.

Unfortunately he sheds like 2 dogs so we’re ultimately in the same boat.

Reusable grocery bags are the most embarrassing, so I end up cleaning them every week.

Dog tax:

I’m 6’3 and tall to most people, but fit under most doors just fine.

Basement stairs can fuck right off though I’ve done that lotsa times and it managed to be a surprising painful thing every time.

Also I think I’d laugh if someone said and if the short guy things to me, I get called things like string bean and “big guy” by bros who don’t know me.

Building up massive credit card debt was always my dad’s plan at the end. But sudden heart failure got him before that.

Actually our dog does sit that way. He looks broken when he does it too. The rest of that photo is whack though.

Of course I can’t find a good photo of it now, but if you look closely you can see it in this one.

He’s a Swedish Valhund btw, weird little dog.

Ellie dozing in the snow.

Most of New England is named that way too. The problem is that the same road ends up with 2 names depending on which direction or end you are in.

Got luck getting an ambulance dispatched to the right place (in my unfortunate experience).

As a designer who turned into a developer, had to do minor server stuff, manage my own freelance projects and debug it all…

I quit and started working in old cars and handyman stuff. Not a Luddite, but fuck marketing, temporarily organizing pixels, and spying on users for pennies.

Enablers are bad, yes, but invading aggressors are worse.

Your comment reads like “both sides” Russian propaganda.

The proof is sort of in the lifespan of the milk.

I haven’t noticed it going bad sooner yet. It’s possible that other adulterants start showing up, but there are still lawyers that can sue companies if they find them fucking around.

That said we need to kick the fucker who are enabling this shit, out of the government ASAP.

We put out nog and cookies for Santa (me I’m the dad now) and carrots for the reindeer.

The weather in New England and upper New York is very much like German weather, and sometimes worse. We’ve had snow on the grounds since the 30th of November and it’s only barely reached 0C in the last week.

It was -15C a couple nights ago at roughly the latitude of Rome, next to the ocean too. And only about 50km northwest (inland) it went down to -25C.

This has been a colder December than average for the last decade, but we have mountains that regularly get meters of snow each winter, and they are way lower elevation than the alps too. Also as we all know the last decade has been stoopid warm.

Mt Washington has measured the highest wind speed in the world.

I used to use ORMs because they made switching between local dev DBs ( like SQLLite, or Postgres) and production DBs usually painless. Especially for Ruby/Sinatra/Rails since we were writing the model queries in another abstraction. It meant we didn’t have to think as much about joins and all that stuff. Until the performance went to shit and you had to work out why.
