You should be comparing which party controlled congress as well.

> They also, for reasons I simply cannot fathom, go out and buy a green Range Rover.

In my opinion, there are two types of people that buy Range Rovers.

1. Morons that don’t realize they are unreliable and expensive to maintain

2. Morons that attempt to signal their status by flaunting that they can afford to drive something unreliable and expensive to maintain

itbeho··on Patreon laying off 20% of staff
Appears to be a full time musician and a part time CEO.
itbeho··on Jobs and Software Is Fucked
I'm in a similar process. I've enjoyed working in tech but it feels for me that it has run its course. We recently started making EDC bags and minimalist laptop backpacks. https://ancientedc.com And while it probably won't generate tech money, it's really nice sitting down at the sewing machine and cranking out a physical product that people really enjoy using.
itbeho··on Never talk to the police
I live in a small central California town. My wife and I enjoy a local band that plays occasionally at the local pub. I couldn't make it last weekend but my wife went with a friend and I picked her up after at about 10:00pm. Neither of us had anything to drink. Cop lights me up and pulls me over and claims I didn't stop at a stop sign, was weaving on the road and that my license plate light is out. All complete and utter lies. Cop said "Are you willing to take a sobriety test right now?" and I thought about it. My stubborn side wanted to say "hell yes, I'll take the test" but I've heard enough stories about cops fucking people over here that I just calmly said "No." He said "I can haul you in for that.." and I replied "And you'll look really bad in front of a judge if you force it and you find out I'm completely sober. I'll fight it the whole way." I was polite. Gave him my license and registration and cooperated as asked otherwise. He made us sit there on the main street for about 20 minutes while he sat in his car with his spotlight on us and didn't appear to do anything else. Then came back and tossed my license and registration at me and said he was giving me a verbal warning. Fuck these guys. I hear these stories all the time locally and I don't really see how anyone that experiences the petty lies can "back the blue".
itbeho··on Today I've made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%
Closing mine today
itbeho··on Backpacks got worse on purpose
Another very satisfied GR1 owner here. It has outlasted all my previous packs. I'd lean towards the 26l GR2 if I were looking now.
itbeho··on 40% of lost calories globally are from beef, needing 33 cal of feed per 1 cal

itbeho··on John Deere to pay $99M in right-to-repair settlement
I live in a wine region in central Calif where everyone has a tractor. We bought a Kubota, enjoy using it and get a lot of work done with it. We have a neighbor that bought a new John Deere and for about a 3 month period we endured nothing but abuse from him because we didn't buy "American". Then his problems started...
itbeho··on Scott Adams has died
And why did he say that? And what was the end result of him posting that?

You should add context so people know that Kaiser was delaying his treatment, Trump's team got Kaiser in gear so that he could receive it (Trump did indeed help him). Now imagine any other non-famous person with Stage IV cancer trying to get treatment without the help of a president.

itbeho··on Microsoft May Have Created the Slowest Windows in 25 Years with Windows 11
I've been daily driving it for months now and really like it. It's a nice introduction to tiling window managers, has a well thought out key mapping and generally looks reasonably nice while getting out of my way as an embedded dev.
itbeho··on I'm a laptop weirdo and that's why I like my new Framework 13
Another happy Legion 5 Pro user here. It's not terrible on battery, but not great either. I usually carry one of those 26Mah battery banks in my bag just in case.
itbeho··on Rebecca Heineman has died
One of the greats. Not only did great things but inspired others.
itbeho··on Majority of teens hold negative views of news media, says report
I hear this "crime is down" theme a lot. But I see with my own eyes, in my own neighborhood, that the opposite is happening. Other people do as well and that is a big reason why the news media is viewed negatively.
itbeho··on Microsoft Teams will start tracking office attendance
A clever person can use Elixir and Nerves on a carefully hidden Raspberry Pi to circumvent this.
itbeho··on Why I Chose Elixir Phoenix over Rails, Laravel, and Next.js
I haven't found Oban difficult to work with and it has the added benefit of ensuring your jobs are run only once. There is also the cron functionality that I find really useful for scheduling.
itbeho··on YouTube says it'll bring back creators banned for Covid and election content
William Randolph Hearst and the Spanish-American war come to mind.
itbeho··on ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from FCC chair
He did not assert they were unknown: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel said in his Sept. 15 monologue.
itbeho··on Scientists are rethinking the immune effects of SARS-CoV-2
I had chicken pox once and have never had shingles. What does your anecdata have to do with mine?
itbeho··on Charlie Kirk killed at event in Utah
>> so fox news could tell the sheeps that it wasnt them

Your dehumanizing rhetoric is part of the problem. Please read Dang's post at the top of this thread.

itbeho··on What makes Claude Code so damn good
Thank you! I'll definitely check that out.
itbeho··on What makes Claude Code so damn good
I use Claude code with Elixir and Phoenix. It's been mostly great but after a short time into a project it seems to break something unrelated to the task at hand.
itbeho··on US economy shrank 0.5% in the first quarter, worse than earlier estimates
Can you point me to a non-partisan source describing attempts to denaturalize citizens?
itbeho··on Silicon Valley aghast at the Musk-Trump divorce
The good old days when everyone belived the pundits were somewhat balanced and unbiased. I enjoyed those Sunday mornings. Russert was always good.
itbeho··on LLMs and Elixir: Windfall or deathblow?
It's hosted on fly.io... :)

itbeho··on Sailing from Berkeley to Hawaii in a 19ft Sailboat
Also, John Guzzwell circumnavigated his self built 20 footer named Trekka from 1955 to 1959 and wrote a great book about it.

itbeho··on U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat
There should be protection for people that receive information in this manner that is equivalent to whistleblower protection. No law abiding citizen should ever be prosecuted in favor of protecting a government fuck up.
itbeho··on U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat
He did the right thing. He's obviously of a certain political bent, but recognized this kind of leak could lead to the loss of American service member lives. He didn't share everything from the chat. I respect him for what he did.

And I agree with your assessment. Morons...

itbeho··on U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat
Colossal fuckup on many levels. Heads should roll. This kind of thing puts people in our military service at undue risk.
