@fredlambert I would've agreed with this take until the Trump v US decision, but the checks and balances that existed last time he was in office are totally broken now. Obviously Harris isn't a communist, but given Trump could break laws with impunity next time around, who knows what he'd do?

@rachbarnhart @carolynhbick Yeah I will never forgive the Y for this. They neglected the city locations for decades, then cried about them losing money. Meanwhile they're dumping absurd sums into upgrading the suburbs, and surprise, people actually want to go to those locations. So backward.

@fredlambert "As its name suggests, stainless steel still stains and rust but less so than other steels." Of course! Just like how somebody who is "blameless" is still partly to blame, just LESS so. I bought some boneless wings the other day and was surprised to find they had no bones at all!

@FlaumEye I'm sorry, but what's the point of hiring a bunch of fancy specialists when your regular optometrists are totally overwhelmed and are booking out almost a year in advance? You can't "expand your reach" unless people can get the basic eye care they need first...

@rachbarnhart If out-of-town landlords like this one walk, then maybe outside investors will stop driving up property prices so much, and more folks can afford to buy (and maintain) their own homes

social media guy: what song should we use for the new demo

elon: remember the scene in ex machina where robots stab a guy

[Nick Marino @Nickelization]

@rachbarnhart Sure but I mean, you know this is all just a workaround for an injunction due to a lawsuit, right? I wish there were a better workaround, or that there hadn't been a lawsuit in the first place, but it kinda seems like folks are doing the best they can given the circumstances

We’ve written and released a general purpose OSS library, called proptest-stateful, that will help with writing stateful property tests in Rust.

Check out the full blog and Github repo: https://t.co/c9p412jWkN

@Fortissimona Also they left out the suspended hyphen, it should be "animal- and plant-based", unless they meant that each individual protein is based on both animals and plants 🙃

College graduation speeches are often evergreen. They can be given at any time, similar from decade to decade.

Which is why Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker’s “How To Spot An Idiot” at Northwestern’s graduation is so genius.

It is the speech for TODAY

@rachbarnhart @MonroeCC Been a long time since I was an MCC student so I don’t remember all the details, but I thought it was basically free in NY already thanks to TAP

@egggirl @Nrpp15 I mean, average price on that menu is ~11 GBP which is 14 USD. That's probably about the average price I've seen for a nicer cocktail in Rochester lately. You'd expect London prices to be higher since it's a big expensive city, but the exchange rate is good right now so 🤷‍♂️

[Nick Marino @Nickelization]

@Fortissimona That’s pretty mean to clowns

[Andreas Kling @awesomekling]

remember what they took from us

[Nick Marino @Nickelization]

@rachbarnhart Right, but the ethical solution is to help poor people escape poverty, or at least to help them afford better housing. Rent control feels good because it feels like it's helping address inequality, but the science shows that it does the opposite on a systemic level

@joedevivo @jpease Hey, don't think we ever overlapped but I'm also ex-Basho and I'd be happy to refer you to ReadySet if you're interested. We're building an open source SQL cache in Rust and are hiring for a "developer productivity engineer" position that sounds like it might be a good fit

@_saffron_ Those biscotti were just the beginning 😂

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

Just thinking about how the United States could have been the world leader in 5G technology instead of China if we had just given *one guy* a green card when he needed one

[Nick Marino @Nickelization]

@rachbarnhart @KarlWaelder I agree we need both new units as well as support for people struggling right now, but the article from the original tweet seems to be framing it as an either/or decision (“eggs in the wrong basket”, etc.).
