Hudson Hawk gets a 5.7, which I think is criminal.

You know what, let’s make this easier. Medicaid for you if you’re an able-bodied, working, white dude (or Russian).”

PARKOUR

This is why we have a tech bro problem in the US (and a VC bro problem, which fuels the other one).

I consistently tip my hat to the Brits for their excellent disses, slang, and swear words.

Just like with US politics, I think (hope) this was a wake up call that alternatives are needed and that maybe so much heavy use of one platform controlled by one nutbag CEO isn’t a good thing. It has been a pretty good platform overall (has its warts, but is very flexible, has a huge developer community, and actively developed/maintained), but the drama over the past year has been the nail in the coffin for me. It’s not something I’m ever going to recommend to my superiors or potential clients as a solid, long term solution to content management.

You have lived a very full life in a very short time. What are your plans for your retirement (basically anything after right now)?

Paraglider pilot here. A paraglider would be literally the worst way to invade/attack/terrorist-whatever any target. You need the right wind conditions to launch (or you have to have someone tow you up, but that only gets you so high); if there are no thermals, you can’t travel any kind of distance (unless your target is on a coastal ridge with onshore wind); you pretty much have to “attack” during the day (for above reasons); you move incredibly slowly (trim speed for your average wing is around 25-3mph); and you need both hands to operate the controls (I guess you could have a tandem passenger to work the weapons or whatever, but then you’re 2 people for every one weapon you have). Paramotors (paraglider plus big ass fan) makes all of this even less ideal, since you’re still very slow moving, and you’re loud.

In conclusion, this lady is a nutcase and badly needs a hobby.

For real - I didn’t know what to make of such a completely false statement.

What you need is a rain out.
