Overcooked is a great family game.

*whispers* It’s also Tokyo Production System Simulator 2018 shh don’t tell anyone.
Literally every factory game causes me to spend five hours on pencil and graph paper for every one hour playing. My pride as a (recovering) salaryman is at stake.
Do not let the cutsie graphics and cat chopping onions aesthetic fool you; this is a brutal battle of man against inefficiency.

I’m often surprised when reading about startups that critics move to envisioning a world where the startup has won so totally that there is no alternative to their model, which is not what the victory case looks like.
Thought prompted by (paraphrase) “Who will cross-subsidize the education of non-renumerative-occupation-of-interest after Lambda School is educating every professional in capitalism?”
And as much as I share enthusiasm for living in that hypothetical universe good golly there is a heck of a lot of work between the status quo and the first 1% of that outcome.

Using a Chromebook for the first time and reflecting that given how much of my workday is in Google applications and other generic web apps this might be a perfectly adequate main computer if one isn’t doing development (on which I have no read on it).
I always thought “You’ll pry MS Office from my cold dead hands” but these days 98% of what I use it for is handled by Google Docs. (It helps that almost all docs I care about are internal and began life in Google Docs.)
Also Google seems to have discovered a revolutionary technology called a “keyboard” where you mechanically actuate a switch and it results in a character of input to your machine.

Apple should steal that.

One of the least heralded and most important technological advances of the last 20 years is a battle getting fought one piece of paper at a time to replace workflows with web applications. It’s slow, boring, and enormously impactful.
It’s surprising how much you can get done these days *without* needing to call anyone, line up, or make a visit to an office to figure out the correct form to file something.
Random example for you: the IRS hires 10k people every year to type numbers from returns into the computer. This is a decrease from earlier, since e-filed returns don’t need to be redundantly retyped.

Hello, I am Edna Matta. I was born in #Ibague, known as #Colombia’s #CityofMusic. A beautiful place near snow-covered volcanos (Ruiz, Santa Isabel and Tolima), large expanses of paramo forest, lakes and streams where a diverse array of animal and plant species coexist
My story starts with #powerful, #strong #women in my #family. I was the third of 4 children and my mom #firstMentor had to raise us practically alone, since my father had to work in a different city, 20h away by car
My mom is a very #strong #woman that taught me #values, to #workhard and to be #self-sufficient #StrongWomen #StrongFamily

Today.. the political influence of Jewish chauvinism & religious fanaticism is much greater than that of antisemitism.

Israel Shahak, 1994
Nor can one find in the numerous English-language "Jewish histories" the elementary facts about the attitude of Jewish mysticism (so fashionable at present in certain quarters) to non-Jews...

Israel Shahak
..they [non-Jews] are considered to be, literally, limbs of Satan, and..the few non-satanic individuals among them (that is, those who convert to Judaism) are in reality "Jewish souls" who got lost when Satan violated the Holy Lady .. in her heavenly abode.

“Okay, let me make this clear, I won’t repeat myself.” The manager says standing in front of the 7 boy’s with a list. “Jin and Yoongi, Hoseok and Jimin, Jungkook and Tae, Joon gets his own room.” The man says before walking away and handing them the keys to the dorms. #taekook
Jungkook rolls his eyes at the decision that was made. Of course they pared him with Taehyung, everyone in their team has been wanting them to get along for years. They’ve tried everything, this isn’t surprising at all. #taekook #vkook #kookv
Taehyung on the other hand could care less about Jungkook liking him. He walks over to Namjoon timidly, the leader of the group already knowing the problem and he sighs. He unlocks the door to his own room and lets Taehyung in. #taekook #vkook #kookv

Anyone want to see a few fun highlights from Tricky Ricky Gates’ plea deal⁉️

Anyone?

Bueller⁉️🤣😂🤣
Notice how Gates initialed EVERY page of the plea agreement.🤔

NO ONE else on Team🇷🇺Traitor has done this. Not even Misha🇷🇺Flynn‼️

Check it yourself👉🏼 justice.gov/file/1038801/d…
“Ye who pleads first, pleads best.”

Hard to say who’s worse: Gates v Flynn. But Misha🇷🇺Flynn sure got a better deal (thus far).🤨

Gates’ plea deal imposed an estimated 57-71 months of imprisonment.

That’s nearly *five to six YEARS* in the slammer‼️
