Nope, fireworks are still explosives and they can cause death and severe bodily harm. Where’s the nonsense?

So if you throw water at me I can throw a lit firework back at you? Same thing?

So you admit that fireworks are known to cause death and severe bodily harm. What sort of prison sentence would be appropriate for attacking people with such devices?

Those aren't "explosives", they are explosives. Google death/maiming by fireworks for examples.

You think a prison sentence for shooting a federal law enforcement officer in the neck is chilling?

Printers are just a loss leader for toner.

Of course lots of AWS services have hidden dependencies on us-east-1. During a previous outage we needed to update a Route53(DNS) record in us-west-2, but couldn't because of the outage in us-east-1.

I do.

You should do this instead:

git push —-force-with-lease repo branch

I would occasionally manage to start a bash shell without executing my profile, which means HISTFILESIZE is not set and bash would truncate my history on the first command I ran. zsh history may have a similar problem.

I guess you've never seen a team argue over "Definition of Done" for months.

Can't speak for OP, but I've heard snails are a recurring theme in medieval manuscripts: https://justhistoryposts.com/2017/11/13/medieval-marginalia-...

Not quite the same, but you may own CA taxes on stock options if you earned them while living in CA even if you don't live there when you cash them in.

I didn’t.

#1 is Klarna, the company that will let you finance a pizza over the next 4 months. Not sure I'd be trumpeting that as innovative.

No, actually they don't. In the time I've been there they've 10x the size of the company. Maintained majority control through multiple rounds of funding. Significantly increased salaries. Provided a great work life balance. Etc.

Why are developers obsessed with how many additional developers they could hire with hypothetical savings?

I know how to multiply by 12, thanks. I asked the previous commenter if the $340,800 actually made a difference and he hasn't replied.

So you saved, $28,400 a month. Did that make a material difference to the company? I often tell people above me I could save us $10k a month at AWS and generally the response is, "Yeaaaaaaah that's great, could you do XYZ instead to help us land an additional $1M in ARR?"

Just found this, you can buy a share of the original Listerine Mouthwash royalties from 1881: https://auctions.royaltyexchange.com/orderbook/asset-detail/...

They’re asking $2.1M and they earned $140k last year.

The fact that they don't indicates it would probably produce more net emissions than not building it.

No, they ratified the amendment which had already abolished slavery, a purely symbolic act. The ratification was unanimous so it's not like there was any opposition to it in 1995.
