I am indeed a short shit.

They do this shit like it's their main job. Now they've moved on to sane-washing talk of giant faucets in Canada.

I'm pretty perfectionist about some things, but I honestly forget all of the time about this little crease in my phone. I thought I might give a shit before I bought a Motorola Razr last year, and now I often forget that it's a foldable. Imagine if you will, a phone that actually fucking fits in your jean pockets...it's worth the little (often invisible) crease.

What can the news do? If they dig into it, he didn’t really make any hard claims to roast.

They can quote him as saying there's "a large faucet as big as perhaps this building and it takes a day to turn" and say there is no such faucet and move on with their day. That would be a much better thing than what they've been doing since 2015 which is this bullshit: trying to find a real life thing to attach his utterances to and then asking him if that was what he was referring to when he clearly wasn't.

His talent is getting other people to fill in the blanks with his absolutely moronic speeches. For a time, people were arguing that "injecting disinfectant" was a great idea, actually, and trying to find science to back that up. Then he walked it back as a joke because he realized everyone except the brain washed lunatics in the country thought he was an absolute idiot for saying that shit.

It's not the news media's job to make a blathering imbecile make sense, and they are doing great harm to the country by treating him this way.

Amidst his weird, almost poetic rambling, the “very large faucet” Trump seems to have been referring to is the Columbia River. The Columbia runs from a lake in British Columbia, down through Oregon and eventually ends up in the Pacific Ocean. Trump’s apparent plan is to somehow divert water from the Columbia and get it all the way down to Los Angeles. However, scientific experts who have spoken to the press have noted that not only is there currently no way to divert the water from the Oregon River to southern California, but creating such a system would likely be prohibitively expensive and inefficient.

The fucking sane-washing continues. He's not being poetic. He's not laying out an "apparent plan" that we need to vet with "scientific experts". He thinks there's literally a fucking big faucet up there already as big as a building that "takes a day to turn" and he's the only person smart enough to think of "turning the faucet" or the only one strong-willed enough to kill the smelt for the good of the forests or whatever.

People keep grafting actual concepts onto this absolute moron's imbecilic utterances and giving him a leg to stand on...just fucking quote the asshole and move on with your day.

The part that got me was at the end he says something like "well anyways, you'll have water and also illegal immigrants won't kill your family".

Great segue that. Masterful oration. That must be "the weave" that he keeps talking about. The thing where everything comes together "perfectly". 🙄 /s

He lists this as “a big valve you just turn.”

Even stupider than that he calls it a fucking faucet.

The depths of his stupidity and the continual display of his complete lack of knowledge or curiosity about how anything works or ever could work makes me so irritated with his immovable, enabling moronic "base".

He always grips onto and lurches over the lectern as if he'd fall over if it weren't there.

You’re weak, and you need substances to abuse in order to continue on your pathetic existence.

There are plenty of reasons to drink a beer other than not having the "steel to handle the real world" on your own.

For instance, having to deal with annoying pricks like yourself.

I will also never understand how JavaScript development has gotten so complicated with seemingly zero benefits. It takes minutes to do a "frontend build" and the output grows larger all of the time. I bumped into some Angular crap that was hundreds of megabytes somehow, and still AJAX fetched the same info 4x on page load because the "MVCC" or whatever it's called didn't even buy them the abstraction of using the same values multiple times on one page...

Yep, many also think they're exceptional, and so they've convinced themselves they'll be the exception.

I have developed personalized tools as part of my job and I chose qt to write them in partially because if a company I work for would ever try to commercialize them, they'd have to either buy qt licenses or open source them.

I cheat a bit though because I use qt through python.

No

He is someone who believes...

I just want to point out that this dude is dead in case you hadn't heard that piece of good news.

The fact that electron both exists and is one of the most popular cross-platform development frameworks tells you everything you need to know about the current potato'd state of software development.

At its core, this is basically how all products are sold.

Imagine being so neck deep in the scam economy that you don't even remember that products that aren't scams exist.

The public hates Vance even more than Trump so when they talk about voting for Trump people should remind them that Trump may die in office and then Vance would be their president.

Somehow, the scrutiny applied to Palin due to McCain's advanced age hasn't applied to Vance despite Trump being nearly a decade older than McCain was when he ran.

I bought an Apple TV and it's pretty damned good to be honest. I'm still rocking the native experience on my bedroom TV but this sounds like that's going to have to change.
