No shit, she handed him his ass on a platter. He won't do that again.

Some of my best friends are vegan. They gladly come over to my BBQs when I'm grilling a brisket or tri-tip, and I'll always grill extra veggies for them. They don't always talk about being vegan and don't shame me for eating meat. Don't rush to assume the entire group is bad because you've had a few bad experiences with them.

AppleTV client at some point?

Can’t remember the full details of the deal, but I seem to recall a story about how Apple approached Intel to manufacture a low-powered processor for mobile (for the first iPhone). At the time, Intel didn’t see money in mobile processors and passed on the deal. Additionally, for years, Apple asked for more powerful chips for the MacBooks. At the time, the iPads were surpassing MacBooks in speed on some tasks. Finally, Apple decided that since they were already designing their own silicon for iPhones and iPads, they might as well just do the same for the MacBooks as well since Intel couldn’t keep up.

Again, this is largely from memory. I can’t remember the source, so take it with a grain of salt.

It’s crazy how much I actually use this tool. 99% of the time, it can figure out exactly what I was trying to accomplish.

My partner posted this to a "Wanting Trump to penetrate you is not a personality" Facebook group.

Credit unions for the win.

lol, no it was just called the TBM (tunnel boring machine). Most of the jokes were around the graveyard we were tunneling under. We were 65 feet down so no worries of actually boring through any graves.

I did all sorts of work on that machine from electrical to building the rail the machine rides on to running the grouting machine that pumped grount to fill in the space behind the cutting head. But it’s operated on board. They are very slow moving machines the fastest I saw it moving was about 80mm per minute.

I’m in IT now, but before that, I worked in construction. I operated tunnel boring machines that dug tunnels for underground metros. It was super interesting work, and I’m glad I did it, but it was incredibly tough.
