What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?

Yes. Incredibly theoretical, difficult to understand, highly abstract plans like "raising the national minimum wage".

Why did you bother mentioning the 19.2% inflation statistic if we're talking about real wages?

Your point is taken that Biden is not primarily responsible for the wage increases during his time in office, but he doesn't have the power as president to unilaterally increase the federal minimum wage. He did sign an executive order increasing the minimum wage for federal employees and contractors which, while not having a significant impact on the wage growth nationally, is a step in the right direction.

I realize your point is more that the author of this piece is a prick and he didn't spend enough time trying to understand the bad economic vibes coming from the working class, but it seems like the Biden administration did a relatively good job guiding the economy through post COVID turmoil, which he (... And Harris by proxy) did not get any credit for. Would you agree with that?

I'm a huge fan of "sneering chud" by the way. Will be forcing that into a conversation soon.

In my experience podman compose is not a sufficient replacement.

Docker compose can be used with podman via the podman socket daemon. It's very easy to get working. Give it a try.

Some of the "misleading" statements were Harris neglecting to enumerate the reasons why a stated policy goal might not succeed, which would be incredibly unusual to include in a speech of this nature.

I guess the point the author was trying to make was that saying you "will" do something in office is a promise, and if you don't have the ability to guarantee that promise can be kept you shouldn't say that thing at all? I love me some NPR but they're really bending over backwards with some of these...

Reminds me of this

Typically, I can read an "average" open source programmers code. One of the issues I have with C++ is the standard library source seems to be completely incomprehensible.

I recently started learning rust, and the idea of being able to look at the standard library source to understand something without having to travel through 10 layers of abstraction was incredible to me.

Remind me how to do this, please. I always forget this part...

Just curious, if Marianne doesn't get the Democratic nomination do you still plan on voting for the Democratic nominee?

Regardless of your feelings about Harris, (I have similar feelings) you must recognize that having her as president would be, by far, the lesser evil when compared to Trump especially if you're concerned about excessive imprisonment / decriminalization of marijuana.

This was incredible. Thanks for sharing.

I am but I'm very quickly finding out I have nothing to contribute.
