Returning to the "I would want to keep asbestos from my lungs" plotline, I'd think that wearing your bunny suit at lunch would be a real good way to bring asbestos out to the outside

Pretty sure that condensation in your mask in a bunny suit is a bad thing, from an air purity point of view

They should've established that it was difficult/uncomfortable to wear those bunny suits, then it would make sense that people were in street clothes despite the asbestos floating in the air.

I’ve been in tech through the dot-com bust, 2008, and 2020, and I’m more scared than 2008. Maybe 2001.

That's an actual photo. That man is showing that other man a picture of his baby and it's a photo in a wallet.

Where did this Scottish accent suddenly come from? Did we just recast said man with new baby?

Very prominent diaper creme in the shot really helps establish that the reason this guy is a wreck is a new baby. Which, can testify is true; thank God for parental leave.

And I’ve hired a few Codesmith alums over the years, always been great hires. (I’ve hired other bootcamp grads too.)

Wade Armstrong @kaizendad.bsky.social · 15h

So I started out as a developer. Then I switched to Product for about a decade. When I decided to get back into the dev world I knew I needed to refresh my skills, so I went to Codesmith. It was an amazing experience. The team really cared about teaching and making good developers.

Huh, the bootcamp I graduated from was viciously attacked by an Andreesen/Horowitz-backed competitor that launched a massive, anonymous, borderline slanderous campaign of lies on Reddit, with the goal of of destroying it. larslofgren.com/codesmith-re...

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

We definitely have coyotes in the area! But, it's also more like the coyotes have people in their area.

I live in the middle of Los Angeles. If we're getting feral hogs here, either we're doing really good at re-wilding the urban environment, or many, many things have gone badly wrong.
