I've taken the last two years off of my tech career. In thinking of returning, I wonder how viable it would be to refuse to "vibe code"?

There's something really satisfying about these rather small cups (about 6oz) I've made. The angle of the line is off so I might just have to keep them for myself... darn. :)

I decided to update my Tiktok bio assuming to start using it for pottery.
I added my college and when it asked the year I graduated (2000, btw) I realized that their picker only goes back that far...
I'm kinda rethinking this tiktok thing again.

I think I somehow hate the term content creator more than influencer.
It's such a meaningless term...
In retrospect, I guess in a way it's accurate; an admission that they know what they create has no merit and can only be spoken of in the most generic of terms.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms.
I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

If the administration can't get away with just lying they'll happily throw someone under the bus. The buck stops... someplace else.

Why does English not contain an opposite for "probably", such as:
conbably - least favorite
antibably - awkward in conversation, but fun and bouncy sounding
nobably - my favorite sounding, though probably least correct of all
Instead we have the pinnacle late 80's comedy probably... NOT!

What does the GOP have on John Fetterman? Is he just monumentally weak?
He condemns the actions of ICE but refuses to do anything remotely uncomfortable to fix things.
What a coward.

My filter basket is haunted by the ghosts of coffees past.
Dear Technivorm:
There has to be a better material for these than plastic. The Mochamaster demands a steel filter basket... or tempered glass perhaps?
While you're at it replace the plastic carafe lid as well.
Thnx
