Letter of recommendation
  • It just creates a very specific language of what is mentioned and how emphatically things are expressed and how things are formulated.

    We wish him all the best in his future endeavors: he sucks

    We wish him continued success in his career: he was a good employee.

    We all regret his decision to leave and look forward to maybe work with him in the future: he was an outstanding employee.

  • The best hill of them all.
  • I have never once have had trouble with the climate system in a car (got my first one in 2004, a 98 VW Polo), so 20 years of ownership total. It's definitely not the criteria I would use to chose a vehicle, but you are of course free to use whatever criteria you want to select yours.

    Using my phone as a key is gloriously convenient, one less thing to carry and care about.

    And if knobs were cheaper, rest assured every manufacturer would use them.

    Thanks for your answer, I see we value very different things in cars.

  • They have the perfect solution for you. When you get in, the car sets your temperature, when she gets in, hers. It can recognize you based on your keyfob or phone.

    When you both are in, whoever is in the passamger seat adjusts their temperature on the screen (most cars nowadays have two or three zone climate control).

  • 2nd-ever nitrogen gas execution in US set to take place in Alabama
  • If you hold your breath the CO2 accumulates in your blood, making it acidic and triggering the "breathe, mother fucker" reflex.

    You need to exhale the CO2 without inhaling O2 for the body to not realize it.

  • The best hill of them all.
  • Absolutely.

    • AI can write boilerplate code and test cases with a failure rate so low that it saves a significant amount of time. It's also good summarizing text, like a 1 month old back and forth support ticket. Probably other uses too, but those are the ones I use a lot.
    • Cloud is a huge accelerator for any company that doesn't want or can't afford to hire dedicated experts. Plus for workloads with big peaks and valleys it is actually much cheaper.
    • Screens show navigation, provide entertainment and allow changing complex setting much more easily than other UIs. (turning volume down is not a complex setting)
    • Teslas have incredible performance per dollar (in a straight line) and are very fun to drive daily. Also their software and charging network are great. And are cheap to maintain (and to buy used).
    • Ads allow content to be consumed without monetary exchange while still paying the workers creating that content in money instead of exposure.
    • same for paywalls, journalism is very important for society and good journalists deserve a good paycheck. Paywalls allow to have well paid journalists without billionaires sponsoring (manipulating) and allowing people who don't like ads to still have access to their work.
  • The best hill of them all.
  • Just FYI: Both volume and turning music off can be done from the steering wheel in any car manufactured in the last 10 years. In some others (not many, tho) you can map the HVAC on the steering wheel too.
