@WarPigsChief dude… this is what fixing looks like

[theVstro @theVstro]

@WarPigsChief @fccincinnati this didn’t age well 😂

[theVstro @theVstro]

This is fact.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

I needed to move a sofa.

I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"

I did not know anybody with a truck.

He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.

"You gotta know somebody with a truck."

I asked how one acquires such a person.

He said, "You just do."

This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.

He said, "Ask Kevin."

I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.

I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.

Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.

Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.

I had not asked for a second man.

The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.

They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.

I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.

I asked what I owed them.

Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."

That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.

Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.

We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.

Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."

I still think about that.

Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.

"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."

He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.

Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.

I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.

Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.

I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."

I have a guy.

I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.

He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."

I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.

I’m not impressed with these hearings where Republicans traipse some corrupt scumbag out and yell at him for three hours. Yeah, he’s a corrupt scumbag. I agree. So why isn’t he under arrest? Why isn’t he facing any real consequences? Why aren’t you actually doing anything?

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

[theVstro @theVstro]

@WarPigsChief liar. you will have so many words

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

The last 20% isn't most of the work, it's all of the work.

[theVstro @theVstro]

So much this … the good news, is that it’s still in my power to continue feeding this desire, while also leveraging AI to move faster.

Both things can be true at the same time. No need to polarize.

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

I really just like to program

Hands on keyboard, music, deeply thinking and enjoying the process

[theVstro @theVstro]

This is my prayer 🙏

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

The faster people can get to something 80% done and unstable, the more they are going to crave stuff that's already 100% done and reliable.

@WarPigsChief @fccincinnati @MLS wait wut? The World Cup isn’t interesting enough for ya?

[Dax McCarty @DaxMcCarty11]

Hard to agree about anything online but I think we can come to the consensus that this type of embellishment is disgraceful. May be extreme, but if players started getting suspended for crap like this, I think it would course correct quickly 🤷🏼‍♂️

[greg @greg16676935420]

IRS: you owe us taxes

Me: how much do I owe?

IRS: you get to figure that out

Me: can I just pay what I want?

IRS: no we know exactly how much you owe but you have to guess the number too

Me: what if I guess wrong?

IRS: jail

Happy tax day!

[ThePrimeagen @ThePrimeagen]

i am happy that anthropic is doing what they are doing with subscriptions

the real cost of ai is really high and this subsidized life coming to an end more and more is a good thing.

[theVstro @theVstro]

I concur

[DHH @dhh]

Aliens is the greatest action sci-fi of all time, and Weaver was the perfect bad-ass heroine without being an insufferable do-it-all, know-it-all girlboss figurine. The 1980s really got almost everything right.

[dax @thdxr]

working on a new project and once again i do not understand how people use agents at the start of the project

i didn't even think to, just naturally went around defining interfaces to think through what i'm doing

agent comes later

[dax @thdxr]

right now everything in the world is telling you to go faster, ship more, add that feature, start another project

so i'm actively working on feeling ok not doing any of that

MCP is confusing.

Some think it died when CLIs took over, but you can also view them as complimentary.

Like MCP is how you stay fresh on what's available in the tool/service, and how to use it, and CLI is how you actually execute.

lmao. Yeah… Microsoft addresses all of the biggest problems in one announcement. 🙄🤣🤣🤣

[Zac Bowden @zacbowden]

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux!

It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification.

Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more!

File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier.

The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too.

Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update.

Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete.

There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! https://t.co/Oxr6VMZIhB

Evander looks disinterested. He’s moving like it’s an all star game and did the same thing vs Toronto & NE.

The playoffs last year unfortunately were a precursor to who Cincy is in 2026. A team that didn’t give up a ton of goals is now giving them up for fun.

Robinson as DP must perform at a higher level because of the salary designation.

And Denkey misses a tap in on the back post. 🥶🤷🏼‍♂️
