drop_star··on GitHub Copilot app, Universe releases
Nobody will use that
drop_star··on U.S. birth rate drops to record low, but older women are having more babies
Wow thats brutal. In Canada my wife is off for a year (I took 5 weeks). Our daycare is $10 a day. I dont think we could do it otherwise.
drop_star··on Birdwatching rewires the brain and slows cognitive decline
Bird law in this country is not governed by reason
drop_star··on Canadians are running out of time to oppose Bill C-22
I'm also in Canada no its not this is a stupid take both Liberals and Conservatives push the same neo-libral crap. The only difference is the Cons want to push a culture war on us. Go back to Russia bot

drop_star··on Musk says Tesla and SpaceX formed special committees to discuss merger
Ya and they got those contracts when Trump gutted NASA so now we have to rely on a privately owned company for space flight. A privately owned company owned by a man who on a whim shut down starlink for Ukraine.
drop_star··on Musk says Tesla and SpaceX formed special committees to discuss merger
Great SpaceX can finance Teslas losses via government grants (our taxes). More corporate welfare for the worlds richest man.
drop_star··on Subaru is killing off gas cars and will only sell EVs in Europe
in theory EVs would be ideal for off-roading. Low end torque and the ability to control the motors independently. I think something like the Mercedes portal axles attached to electric motors would be amazing.
drop_star··on Facebook Pages require paid subscription to post more than two links per month
Between marketplace and community groups facebook is very much used in my city
drop_star··on Tesla Roadster
Once was enough for me. The redbull stunts are way cooler. Check out Ken Blocks videos. Its an actual driver in an actual car. Not a plastic hull with 20 year old compressed air can technology attached to it pretending to be an actual product that will ever be made.
drop_star··on Tesla Roadster
Those are cars you can drive. This is not.
drop_star··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk

Did he do the math? Or are they still eating cats and dogs?
drop_star··on The mental health of young men is declining. Experts warn it could get worse
I guess code quality/readability doesn't matter to some developers. To each their own. Since OP is promoting their substack Id assume they would avoid turning off readers with their poor sentence structure.
drop_star··on The mental health of young men is declining. Experts warn it could get worse
Sure, it parses, the same way !isNotEnabled compiles. Doesn't mean I'd want to read it in a PR. You should read the book 'Clean Code' by Uncle Bob if you haven't already.

The sentence may be valid but it has poor readability. That was my point.

It's !believes(!isSerious(mentalHealth)) which is both poor code and writing.

'I think mental health is a serious concern' would be preferred.

drop_star··on The mental health of young men is declining. Experts warn it could get worse
Did they ever stop blaming video games?
drop_star··on The mental health of young men is declining. Experts warn it could get worse
"I think mental health is a serious concern."

That's the clearest version. Just drop the negatives.

drop_star··on The mental health of young men is declining. Experts warn it could get worse
> I don't think mental health isn't a serious concern

Double negative makes this hard to read

My Grandpa did MAID. He was in so much pain. Im grateful it was available for him.
drop_star··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
Ya this is me. I used to use the web version now im 'required' to have an account. I just create and delete accounts every couple weeks. I use the generic Word-Word-#### and keep my history private.
drop_star··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk

Keep your perv glasses at home weirdo
drop_star··on Toyota is taking the Corolla electric
I have a 2022 model. Its great. Feels like a normal car. And the early model BZ4X in that price range is not comparable. It has dated tech.

Google has a bridge to sell you
drop_star··on Creatine uptake enhances antitumor immunity
Anything over 5g is hard on my stomach. I take it in my protein shake in the morning and dont notice any issues.
drop_star··on Creatine uptake enhances antitumor immunity
I've also heard about it 'hardening' in the bloodstream and that you should really be taking it with K2 as well. This is anecdotal so someone please do more research than basing anything from this comment
drop_star··on DoorDash Spent $1.4M Trying to Stop Mamdani from Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why
From what I've seen its the fat lazy devs at work that order chipotle for lunch rather than walking downstairs to get it themselves. Mostly the younger ones too that are right out of school and should be saving their money.
drop_star··on DoorDash Spent $1.4M Trying to Stop Mamdani from Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why
Ya I dont get this argument. Takes me all of 2 mins to grab my lunch in the morning. It's also not a greasy burger that shortens my lifespan and physically disable's me.
