It’s great when his arguments only strengthen my resolve to stand with Democrats in supporting Ukraine.

How is life so cheap. Killed himself over $63k. If I was ever going to do something that catching consequences was going to make me kill myself, it would have to be a hell of a lot more money than that. Maybe at 100x I’d take my chances. Maybe. I just don’t understand.

People are so much stupider than I ever thought. And I thought I was a cynic.

That’s a good boy!

You think he could finish a couch? I think it would eventually fake it, tell him what a good boy he was, and then roll over and let him sleep in the wet spot.

Yeah fuck all that. They can keep their discount.

He always struck me as a guy who is who he is. He would fail any ideology test because he goes by his gut rather than any ideological compass. I think he felt his supporters were being a bit mercurial for opposing him so vehemently on Israel. Not really an excuse, but I think he just lost his shit and lost his way. So probably a decent guy but he has to do a lot of work to repair that bridge and I have no idea if he’s up to it.

But I could be wrong.

I would only note that for the vast majority of my experience these streams can only return up to a single match. Determinism isn’t really preserved by findFirst, either, unless the sort order is set up that way.

Finding the first Jim Jones in a table is no more reliable that finding any Jim Jones. But finding PersonId 13579 is deterministic whether you findFirst or findAny.

Perhaps you work in a different domain where your experience is different.

I try to prefer .findAny() over .findFirst() because it will perform better in some cases (it will have to resolve whether there are other matches and which one is actually first before it can terminate - more relevant for parallel streams I think. findAny short circuits that) but otherwise I like the first. I’d probably go with some sort of composed predicate for the second, to be able to easily add new criteria. But I could be over engineering.

I mostly just posted because I think not enough people are aware of the reasons to use findAny as a default unless findFirst is needed.

I sent a few bucks. Never been to Nebraska, but good luck.

Where the fuck does he think the women under fifty fucking came from?

We’ve got 4 daughters. You’d better fucking believe their human rights are important to us. Do they think agency and autonomy are fucking academic issues to women?

I’m going to wear a hurricane pin on my lapel.

If I hadn’t been out of work for months, I’d have started an account just to short it. It’s rare to find such a sure bet.

I’m betting that accelerates.

It’s losing money hand over fist, has a tiny user base and little name recognition. They have no assets worth anything.

The fundamentals are clear: the stock is completely worthless except as a wild gamble. People would be better off investing in penny-stocks.

The spam emails I get are all over the board on this one. Some days I really regret having multiple email addresses. I clean like 20/day from my two primary ones.

I get everything from happy news to “help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you’re our only hope.”

The line between fetish and mental illness can sometimes be blurry. Of course, that means some folks are just one sex worker shitting on their face away from mental wellness.

This is so self-evidently preposterous I don’t even know what I could add to further refute it.

What do you think people hate about it, the name? Come on. Hatred for the proposals in it is the most bipartisan thing I’ve seen in a decade at least.

They are going to have a government shutdown for Christmas and the first week of the new year? You won’t even be able to tell because everyone is on vacation then anyway.

I’d like to ask Trump what his definition of bimbo is and why he thinks it applies to her.

Because I kinda feel like his definition would be something like “anyone I want to fuck, if only they would shut the fuck up for the thirty seconds that would take.”

I assume that’s a ChatGPT translation to English.
