Posted this before but it's a great bit of modern piano composition, and I've had some wine so whatever

Dave Chappelle is a genius, I'd read a lot of this sentiment from various print interviews but hadn't heard him actually state it:

I shouldn't bitch about it but it does infuriate me when leaders simply refuse to lead.

So it's back to the office for me in August. I'm a little bit annoyed our director - who has been strikingly indifferent for a few years now - has excused himself and his preferred team from on-prem work.

I decline *one* spam call this morning, since then been bombarded with them. Rotating TN area code numbers. Such a fucking pain.

Considering Safari is supposed to be Apple's preferred browser it really should not be such an unreliable piece of crap.

I would like Samsung a lot more if they were not so hellbent on recreating every facet of the Google suite but somehow doing a worse job.

They made an incredibly complex and ahead-of-its-time OS. Too good for Microsoft to pull off. They weren’t even putting in all of their ideas (the most ambitious but complex ones were left on a sort of wishlist called Blackcomb), but they still wanted to have an OS with the following features ready for 2004:

.NET: A virtual machine in which apps didn’t need to worry about memory or concurrency
WinFS: Semantic filesystem with complex queries to manage everything with
Avalon: An XML-based user interface layer that allowed to dynamically, visually design UIs — even the desktop
Indigo: A network stack that allowed for easy network IPC with XML, allowing to further connect apps beyond WinFS

it was way too much for the Windows team, and eventually, they had to scrap tons of code and reset in August 2004

Because the problem remains, and ultimately somebody has to pay for it.

Always surprised me HOAs don't create some kind of collective cooperative credit union, so they can at least raise capital and have some mechanism for paying for it longer term. Maybe they do, idk

You don't have to have a crystal ball to work out that's not going to be reachable for most people. There must be a better way.

In the case of re-finishing a flat roof or painting the building, okay, but major repairs? Doesn't work. The special assessment for the building that collapsed apparently meant all residents paying 82000 USD.

The trouble is the method for dealing with maintenance projects in this condos, the so-called 'Special Assessment' is completely insane. Basically the residents have to collectively fund works.
