Let’s not forget the whole Counter-Strike economy is based on gambling, which I think is also not good, especially because there’s a lot of young kids picking that up and becoming gambling addicts, which I think is a net negative for people.
Edit: People make games did a deep dive on this, as did Coffeezilla did a series on the whole ecosystem.
Well I guess it’s time to start making ass nickels.
And NPR handles the music licensing for the station. You can see them mentioned in multiple NPR annual reports as a member station, going as far back as 2001 when the affiliation started. Then as recently as 2011, after that NPR stopped reporting the NPR stations. Also there’s a managed list on Wikipedia of all affiliated stations. Prior to 2001 though it had no affiliation with NPR.
Yeah, that’s why I mentioned listener supported radio/community run. As a separate statement.
Honestly, it’s the listener supported/community run radio stations that are the best.
I only mentioned NPR because that’s just something the average North American can relate to. Also KEXP is affiliated with NPR. So it felt relevant to mention.
Any NPR music station is gonna be awesome. KEXP is probably one of the GOATs. KCMP in Minneapolis, KTBG in KC, KOPN in Columbia, Missouri, KVOQ in Denver.
Honestly, it’s the listener supported/community run radio stations that are the best.
They’re dozens of us.
Prairie Artisan Ales is one of the most unique craft breweries I’ve ever experienced. The downside is it’s in Oklahoma, so I’ll never visit again, but if you get a chance to find some at a local liquor store or import, try it out. Plus the can designs are cool. They have some delicious stuff.
But yeah LeftHand in Longmont, Colorado is incredible.
As for European, Belgian Tripel, it is hands down the best.
If you ain’t doing politics, politics is gonna do you.
I was just recently in Japan and decided to go to a proper grocery store. A dozen eggs grade A was about $1.80 USD or 278 yen.
Well technically React isn’t a framework it’s just a UI library like jQuery. Nextjs would be the framework version of React. 🤓
Wasn’t that specifically because the inventor and doctor died unexpectedly and he just didn’t write any of that stuff down or train others on how the procedure was done?
Rage??? Wasn’t Rage open world?
Also one of the coolest July’s we’ll ever have too! Isn’t that neat!?!
Which… makes sense. The creator of doesn’t like coding.
I actually hate programming, but I love solving problems. I really don’t like programming. I built this tool to program less so that I could just reuse code. PHP is about as exciting as your toothbrush.
So PHP it born out of a dislike of coding. In turn the documentation is all over the place and inconsistent.
So this is advice I’ve offered many co-workers and friends over the years. This advice actually came directly from my first boss.
Always try and make time to have a lunch with a former co-worker. Just one, co-worker, it’s one hour, once a month. Just have a lunch with someone, anyone from a former job. This helps in a couple of ways, you keep your network open and you keep it expanding. These people aren’t your friends, but they could turn into friendship if you wish them to be.
Prior to the pandemic, I had a list of my months, and which co-workers I would reach out to from former jobs. This has been huge for me as it has helped me land new job opportunities and it has turned some former workers into great friendships. But it’s just 12 hours a year, and 12 lunch’s a year. But it’s just enough that I’ll always have someone I can use as a reference.
I’ve now had many different jobs over the years, but I still schedule lunches with former co-workers. But I make sure to reach back out to people to set these up, it’s helped me also become more social than I normally am.
So once you’ve got this new job in the bag, do not lose touch with the old co-workers make an effort to have lunch with someone, anyone, but at least someone you wouldn’t pull your hair out after spending an hour with them.
It’s just 12 hours once a year.
edit: don’t get me wrong this isn’t an easy task my first boss had to force me to go to lunches I didn’t want to go to.
I have this… I just thought this was normal vision. I hate my eyes 😔
