They’re getting more common. I personally used a stovetop kettle as recently as six years ago. But electric kettles are a world of difference.
Minor problem for me is currently living in a very old house that we don’t own and using a proper electric kettle will pop a breaker. I recently bought a travel kettle that uses like 1/5 the wattage instead
microwaves water for tea
this is why america is fucked
electric kettles are the way and the light
Doing something political for years and then NOT doing something political is not “politically neutral,” you’re actively decided to make a politically motivated decision instead of simply continue with existing behavior.
That’s because every version of Windows since XP has been kind of dogshit
Oh I have literally thought of this too. Maybe a bit more like Cops or if The Office was a real paper company office… but at a software company. So many fires to put out, so many blockers, so much drama between design / pm / dev / qa / execs, etc. Launch date blockers. Post-release hotfix nightmares. It could work
We need the actual “it was actually done” versus “the circumstances were created such that it could have been done”
You mean blaming leftists?
Is that your general experience with people doing dumb things? That they only do it once?
I think the best outcome would be that it might uncover deliberate malfeasance that might prompt some folks in congress to do what is needed. I wouldn’t be optimistic though.
Slightly more likely is that such discovery would drive the public towards a congressional swing away from his enablers at the next congressional election next year, assuming we have it. I’m moderately more optimistic on that, apparently such a swing is already forming, but to what extent isn’t clear.
We can’t undo the election results, the congressional count done on jan 6 is definitive.
I remember asking a few weeks after the election if anyone at all was talking about it being rigged. It seemed at the time everyone just accepted the result. Only in the past month or so have I started seeing talk of it.
C# was originally J++ which was originally Java++ until Sun sued MS.

When we finally onboarded the D365 ERP replacement, management wanted to run perf testing on it told them we could do it in JMeter, and we already had JMeter code that we’d used for the older systems, and we’d learned more than enough from including it in integration automation, that I was sure we could do it.
Instead they hired two chodes from an agency and told them to use some odd tool. Literally a month into that project one of the contractors asked me straight up why we weren’t just using JMeter.
They eventually cut those guys because they weren’t able to produce, and then went with some kookball Akamai solution (Cloudtest?) They didn’t even seem to realize that by going with that solution, they were going to be beholden to paying Akamai every time they wanted to run it. They somehow managed to cajole Akamai into giving us a standalone version of the tool, but they didn’t seem to comprehend that when you run it that way you don’t get the cloud.
It’s funny, someone asked me the other day why I quit that job, and I’m now suddenly starting to remember why.
It was actually a pretty good company, it just wasn’t a software company, so its tech decisions were often really bonkers. But that aside, it was actually a good company, and part of me kicks myself for leaving it – I’d probably still be working there four years later.
I might have needed a lot of therapy in the meantime, though
Frankly it’s a bit like HyperCard.
One of the things we learned early on in trying to integrate a D365 system into our UI integration test automation, was that when you changed pages, the previous page was actually still in the DOM and so if you didn’t update your locators to the new “context” or screen, you’d be trying to interact with things from two screens ago. I dunno honestly what they would have done without someone like me who could actually RE that. The guy that had seniority over me was completely lost.
Imagine JS and C# had a baby, and it was mentally challenged.
We used it for ERP, including sales, CSR, and inventory. But we still had a separate WMS, and we had to build glue to sync the WMS inventory data with the D365 data, bidirectionally.
