Nominative determinism

yes, apparently it's so you can use more pressure without also over-carbonating the beer (more pressure being useful eg. if the keg is downstairs from the bar)

Never really thought about it, makes sense though.

They claim they're making it somewhat-less sexualized, more "athletic".

Really it sounds like they're turning a big dial labeled "clothing" until customers appear. I'd expect another decade or so of random flailing before some vulture fund puts it out of its misery.

Um it's called networking and it's a skill actually

Yeah the radiator seems like the most effective as far as fast to damage vs slow to repair. But really it's all good, fucking up anything in that kind of volume will really disrupt things, they don't have the capacity to fix all that at once. If it's contracted out it's probably even worse.

It's not supposed to discuss policy, it's supposed to discuss the reasons she lost. Well, really, everyone knows those already, it's supposed to discuss things to improve in future campaigns. Except you can't have such a large organization telling individual candidates what to do. Look it's not for you, ok, you wouldn't understand.

Also it kind of conflicts with the main economic message of "shut up everything is fine actually, your unjustified complaining will curse the vibes for the rest of us"

People also ship gold bars/coins through the postal system, and those are even more identifiable once you know

Randomly insisting "TIME IS OF THE ESSENSE!" months into a completely avoidable crisis is an all-time classic. amazing stuff

I feel like I have a relatively surface-level understanding of Venezuela's recent history; anyone know of any good articles/books/podcasts/whatever I should check out? Also interested in sources on the "pink tide" generally.

These guys leak more group chats than the government

CW: slurs, ableism, racism, anti-LGBT. All the shit you'd expect from a private ACP chat honestly.

Sad to see random sailors get killed, but regardless still have to hand it to the Houthis for an extremely successful ongoing campaign. Shipping volumes passing through are down dramatically, and alternate routes are adding a lot of delay and expense. It's costing Egypt a lot of money in lost transit tolls as well. And shipping was in a less-than-ideal state to begin with, due to the Panama canal drought and issues with shipbuilding.

Insurance rates were already keeping most higher value cargo out, it's currently mostly bulk goods, crude oil, and some refined petroleum products still transiting; that's why we never hear about container ships being hit, they were generally the first to leave.

This attack will further increase insurance rates and further increase pressure on the west to "do something" but other than a ceasefire they don't have a lot of good options.

Need job recs (hexbear.net)

I've been searching for a new job for many months with no luck. I have 10+ years in software engineering and related roles. I need something either remote (US or Canada) or local to Toronto.

I think my resume and background is pretty good, but apparently not good enough to get noticed. I don't have FAANG or top-n schools. I've applied to about 100 places and only had 2 interviews and a few pre-screens.

I have some p/t work for now, but it's not enough. Every month I just fall farther behind, paying my small-time absentee landlord more money than I bring in. I'm giving those parasites what would have been my own down payment, and that is starting to run low. All while trying to stay motivated to keep submitting endless resumes into the void.

My old local org had a good network of hooking each other up with jobs, I really miss that right now. That was a long time ago and nowhere nearby, I have basically no professional network here, and barely even have friends locally.

Shit sucks. I can't keep doing this.
