If you're old enough to remember, it's a little unsettling and strange.
  • Where in the PNW? I still see them on trails north of King county in the suburbs. Not disagreeing with the message behind the original post but those slugs surprised me when I moved here from the Midwest and they're still around.

  • The United States of America, but for Trans People
  • Unfortunately, not all of our states are safe. While the population centers are mostly ok, there are plenty of places that are not safe. I had an acquaintance (gay) describe Eastern Washington as "fine as long as I don't act too gay".

  • White Dudes in Winter
  • I grew up in Wisconsin. Midwest winters are a primary reason I moved to the West Coast. Even in Washington it doesn't get that cold. I wear shorts and flip flops almost all year. Below 40 I start wearing shoes and pants.

  • Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature
  • I'm away from my PC so I can't name it but there's another plugin similar to Tree Style Tabs. The creator claims that TST takes up a lot of resources. I do notice Firefox taking a lot of CPU/mem but that's probably my fault. I've tried both and either works well.

  • Linus reviewed (roasted) our phone | Fairphone reacts
  • Fewer years than I've been using windows. 20 years of Linux, 25 years of Windows. I personally think the stigma that Linux has is due to the past. I would agree that it was difficult at points in the past.

  • $3 for a single McDonald's hash brown? Some customers are fed up and pushing back
  • Until all the grocery stores merge, create a monopoly and do their own round of increases. Kroger/Albertsons merger would be awful here in Washington.

    Within a couple miles of my house I have: QFC (Kroger), Safeway (Albertsons), Fred Meyer (Kroger).

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook's total pay drops to $63 million for 2023.
  • 250k is probably below the average pay for an Apple engineer, not to mention other costs and benefits. ICT3 numbers (just above entry level SDE) are 230k and ICT4 are 340k. 500k isn't that difficult at the more competitive software companies located in tier 1 and 2 markets. But yes, CEOs and E levels make far too much for their impact.

  • Ricky Gervais Responds to Petition Asking Netflix to Remove Jokes From His New Special: ‘It’s Quite Meaningless’
  • I haven't heard the Gervais joke so I'm not weighing in about that but I agree with your comment about not "reading" stand up comedy. Jim Jefferies did a skit about this. The joke he was referring to is also controversial but the point is, delivery matters. Here's his bit about writing jokes

    "What this lady did was she wrote an article about me, and she did a transcript of the actual routine in the article, wrote down every word I said. Now, I hate this. And I’ll tell you why. Because my whole skill in life is being able to say horrible things and still seem likable. [audience laughing] You take the whole… [grunts] out of it. See, if you read my material… it’s a bad read."
