My brother works for a company acquired by Bain. They are every bit the vulture capitalists bleeding companies into lifeless husks.

I'd be extremely surprised to see $12 eggs anywhere, at least not as the cheapest option. To be honest, it sounds like you don't actually buy groceries very much if you think that. As of last week at my local supermarket, eggs are $2.50-$5.00 for a dozen, depending if you opt for the organic options or not.

But yeah, this just reads as a flimsy justification for bad habits. Cooking is quite simply cheaper and always has been. It is not difficult to make filling meals for $1-3 a person (staples like rice and beans are especially cost effective), which is far, far cheaper than ordering takeout from anywhere.

Groceries absolutely have gotten more expensive and it is a problem, but there's no world in which that problem is improved by ordering Doordash or the like all the time.

Isn't Hyprland created by a fascist?

You do have to install/setup a lot more stuff yourself, fwiw. That's probably largely what it is, that there's little that comes pre-baked. It's basically a build-a-distro toolkit.

Good, maybe people will use it less.

This argument doesn't really hold up, honestly. That is all easily done with shell scripting, and shell scripts can be committed to source control and shared to other members of the team easily. This is what my team does for our common API needs. It even has ecosystem support in many places, such as popular openapi renderers providing curl command examples for routes automatically, being able to copy the exact request made by a web browser as a curl command from the network tab automatically, and so on.

I use curl for absolutely everything, including testing out my work for each and every ticket I work on. Been doing this for years now. It works great and has many, many advantages over property bullshit like Postman.

This time around, my wife and I simply decided "fuck DST" and shifted our entire schedule forward an hour. No change in sleep for anyone. It was glorious.

Obviously not gonna work when the kids start school, though.

Hmm, sounds like someone that has become immoral and corrupt. Also entirely possible Disney has decreed what they want Pixar to be doing and he's parroting their talking points.

Either way, sounds like Pixar is in the shitter now, which is really disheartening to hear.

Wrong comment to rely to?

It absolutely doesn't matter. What matters is not changing.

it is still undoubtedly the case, however, that there are plenty that self-diagnose because people on social media make it seem "cool" or to be special in some way, without any basis on actual symptoms. Same happens for a lot of other mental health conditions too.
