The execs think they’re hiring someone to churn out code, and some people are better at that, like everything else. They don’t understand that they need someone that can figure out what code needs to be written, and why, and that they need someone that gets what the difference is and that there’s always someone that writes better code.

That too is an insight into the company.

The movie is great too. It’s on Peacock.

I do it on a little table outside my back door. It definitely stinks up the house otherwise. My fryer has a little lid that you can put on it after the oil cools. You can reuse the oil a bit depending on what you’re cooking.

In many places you can bicycle on the sidewalk, provided rhat you yield to pedestrians.

The insulin produced now has benefited from advances in technology just like most things. The fast acting insulin is predictable and works in 45 minutes to an hour and a half. The original insulin took hours and wasn’t nearly as predictable or stable. Testing/monitoring technology has seen even more significant advances.

I owe Banting and his colleagues my life, but it is different. That’s not to say that the continued well being of the public should be profitable and exclusive.

Pumpkin puree works pretty well too if your recipe can handle a little squashiness.

I’m as offended by receiving survey requests for any and everything I buy or pay online. If it weren’t disingenuous I’d be fine with it, but it’s usually the retail marketing version of a push poll. There’s no way that they would get that something is off based on the normalized survey values without reading the non-normalized text box that corporate probably doesn’t care about. Therefore, they get a consistent value of 1, (you suck) to every question. If I had a positive experience I just don’t bother unless some poor bastard went out of their way to help me.

To be fair, those are the spots that get oily and dirty the quickest.

Dunkin has ‘Midnight Coffee.’ Just so this isn’t interpreted as shilling, it’s not organic, fair trade, or prepared by a person making a living wage; so not exactly ethical… but cool marketing.
