The Dems put Jack Smith, guy who prosecuted people at The Hague, in charge of going after Trump. Trump got out of it by a friendly judge interfering and bonkers Supreme Court decisions.
Genuinely shocking to me that this same crew of people have spent a decade trying to convince us that Dems are relentlessly fighting Trump and in fact couldn’t have fought harder, somehow including a period where Dems had total control of the government and their AG wouldn’t even prosecute him

It's genuinely wild that people think Donald Trump's senility grants him the power to transcend logistics. "Oh but they have a base there already & two ANG F-16s rotated in for an exercise!" Some radar technicians & a pair of 40 year old fighter jets is not an invasion force.
Let's save crashing out about Greenland until we actually see some movement from US assets that would indicate staging for an op. With a few hundred European troops and a couple warships already in theatre or imminently arriving, a clandestine SOF raid isn't going to cut it anymore.

Pedroia probably has a real case if Machado didn't functionally end his career at 33, he won a (weak) MVP and had an 8-WAR season, his peak was better than people think

A vital quality performance reporting system at one of my former companies was using a script I hacked together in Perl, Access, and VBA for years after I left

This was an improvement over the system that I was handed, where both the data and the code lived in an XLSM file
this is my response to like 99.9% of "LLMs can't write production-quality code" arguments. "production-quality code" is a mirage in virtually every workplace as far as I can tell. what works gets shipped.
If your engineering culture is such that changes can be merged that no one is accountable for, then you have way bigger problems than whether PRs are being generated using LLMs

it is disturbing to me that LLMs may have increased the quality of median code that's shipped 😬

this all boils down to "do all the work for me"

different people have different roles, its the role of an activist to get arrested blocking a building or whatever else, and anyone can be an activist

but that would require work so why isn't the Congressman doing that!

Honestly underrated conflict from an alternate history perspective. Depending on the outcome you'd have big interwar Poland or the USSR in Warsaw and bringing the revolution to the rest of Eastern/ Central Europe.
