Oh, that is nothing compared to the blinking and talking Minnie they have in California.

India is so 2010, now outsourcing includes China, the less affluent APAC countries, Eastern Europe, Ireland, and Central/South America (Costa Rica is popular with Dell from what I hear).

I work with one of those types, he exists on a diet of hot pockets, energy drinks, the gym, and dude-broness. Though he is also shit at coding, but pretends he isn't.

They also learned it was better for business to outsource anything and everything so you can still be crazy racist, sexist, violate labor laws etc. but have it done by another company (or in another country) so no one can sue you directly and you can pay pennies on the dollar.

There are startups like that, they haven't really had any hits (by virtue of the luck of start ups), but the reality is there probably isn't a shortage of talent for places that want to just be full of dude-bros.

Is that the opposite gender version of "cock block"?

If we promise to give you tropical drink consisting of mostly rum and garnish in a tiki mug, would you feel better?

I fucking hate winter, it was like 70 today and I had to put on a heavy t-shirt. (Actually that is a lie, it was in the high 80's).

This was a popular one for the Dodgers until the director of Anti-Fun Initiatives for the LAD had it blocked on their custom site.

If you're looking for something similar to what you would have when going out (and using canned clams), you basically follow this sauce's to the point where you add the canned clams in. Once they are in and heated a little, you add your red sauce, simmer for a bit (you're replacing the wine). Then continue along…

If you're using reusable containers it is handy to have a marker and roll of painters/masking tape nearby so you can label. It is very helpful when cooking as well since you may not be able to tell one item from another at a quick glance when gathering things for dinner.

Have you ever tried abalone? It is similar in texture.

Good technique/rec. I've always found the grit trick with the clams to not really do anything since they close up in the fresh water. Supposedly, according to the fish monger, the people mistake the noticeable absence of grit with the success of the technique. It doesn't hurt anything, so there is no real downside to…

It does give us an excuse to appease the Italians though by going out into the open ocean to harvest our salt water.

That would be an option too, though that would probably knock the price-range out of the acceptable risk category for anyone beyond core. They would probably also end up with the same issue that the Ouya has, where mainstream (and even many indie) devs won't spend the resources on developing/porting to their platform.…

I do question if the OR will flourish at all though since it would require developer support (which takes from game budgets or the O VR people would need to fund it) and brings nothing to the table that would benefit the game publishers/studios. If they tried to charge extra for the support, the users would probably…

Zombies don't put the coffee pot back empty.

I'm not even joking, they lured a bunch of bars in when the center opened, but then started hammering them with fines for loud music, dancing, and having intoxicated patrons. This was on top of the premium rents they were paying.

In So Cal they put them in the middle of the deserts, usually on the way to/from vacation spots and tribal casinos.

So far it has only really documented the standard malls. I though outlets may be on the block next since the internet it still cheaper than staff/real-estate for the shithole locations they put them in.
