  • Not an original idea by far, but I was chatting it up with a few friends recently about this and we thought a civic duty term made far more sense (think jury duty). So much needs to be fixed in the process, like the bill riders addons (a horrible scourge to our political system) and lobbyist (scum). But imagine you were picked (randomly) to serve for 3 year stints, with those getting picked for a 2nd and maybe even 3rd term, serving as some Senior politician. Clearly it needs much more thought, but far better potential because you have to participate and accountable.

    Before you knock it down, think about the intelligence required here. Boebert is an absolute moron. Bills before the system need to be something the average person can understand (legal verbiage is such a pointless waste and almost unnecessary). You would need to participate in collaboration with others, understand how to be honest and forthcoming with your goals.

    We can’t hold Politicians accountable (not the system today) and this could be an answer.


  • Don’t worry, every company was hiring anyone with DevOps on their resume just a couple years back. Now its AI. I’ve been on this train for far too long, and saw places that said they sold “X” and had no one on the team that even knew it. My last place asked me to demo a devops pipeline that was “zero touch” for developers (for a client) and were in shock with my demo “why don’t we sell this?!”… I’ve been here for 2 years, delivering this easy, low hanging fruit and you want to sell the concept as a service? Sigh….

    I’ve added AI to my pipeline, for “code improvement analysis and quantitative risk”, it’s just as amazing as before. It’s just a shiny feature in the grand scheme of what AI could really do in real fields (medical, financials, etc), but it looks good on my resume and i’m getting hits on my linkedin, daily.

    Lets just hope this time around, companies do some due diligence on hiring and we’re not where we are now, whenever the AI bubble pops. Hahahahahaha





  • I’d take a bet you were a fast shower person. In and out in 5 min. I know I was just like that as a teen in a house of 7 people. Body odor problem was notable enough that I carried deodorant on me. I, like you, learned this simple trick later in life but shared it with my kids to help them through teenage years.

    you’re supposed to let it sit on the skin for a while before scrubbing and rinsing

    Part of this is due to the heat opening your pores on your body and the soap doing its job by cleaning out the bacteria and oils that cause the smells. Scrubbing also plays a big role too, lather and rinse using a scrubber!

    Doing this has allowed for me to skip shower days and I just need to scrub my head/face to remove oils before bed. I still wear deodorant, but it’s lightly scented because otherwise I have a naturally strong orange(fruit) smell that can get overpowering (to me).

    I know we’ve got some cold shower bros out there and don’t worry, this still works in cold showers, just over longer stretches of time. I know this because Mother Nature doesn’t often preheat her rivers while I’m camping, but I still stay fresher than my peers.
