Re: OT XXX: COVID Off Topic

I think we shouldn’t talk about covid here anymore. Everyone has their own opinions on this and it’s not productive and results in name calling. Seems like a good taboo topic to add to the exclusion list That's all fine and well until those opinions violate my self evident inalienable god given rig...

I lead a team consisting of data engineers, data scientists, solution architects and a bunch of analysts. Many of my best people are self taught. I think the biggest things you can get in a degree or even a bootcamp is best practices and code discipline (i.e. writing efficient and scalable code, usi...

Re: OT 20: rotisserie roller coaster

Got to go see pops and one of my sisters last night. Walked along Huntington Beach, then they all ate at a little Mexican place my sister used to frequent when she lived there. Was a nice night. Hadn’t seen my dad since Mom’s funeral. https://i.postimg.cc/CR7xrpCZ/11714232-5-A8-A-4398-8-D32-1-FBF2-...

Re: Dem bicicletas dos, doe.

I need to replace mine too, I think its about 10 years old now. Probably due time for an upgrade too, I am sure it was the most I could afford at the time, but early 20s chops didnt have a whole lot to spend.

Re: OT XXX: COVID Off Topic

My god this thread is a shitshow. Brad, I clicked on one of your links and I have to say, I don’t think you’re anti-science, I just don’t think you understand science at all. Max, that article you just linked doesn’t say what you said. At all. I post this not to engage with those two really, as I k...

Re: Chop shop

Another call, any you want this? I have a couple OK offers on it, but after a (somewhat routine at this point) hell of a week at work, I hardly have energy for the facebook yahoos. Not gonna be free but I would love to see it go to someone passionate.
