Oop optics are down gotta spin some bullshit that they’ll “forget” they did when flip flopping creates “weak leadership” headlines later. Back and forth.

Always wondered this. I don’t think my cat gives a goddamn but she hides from strangers. My dogs know if I put on certain clothes it’s time for walkies and get excited. My old girl with poor vision will sniff my feet to be extra sure.

I’ve had to use it for a week now. It has the most braindead, unintuitive UI I’ve ever seen. Unbelievably inefficient. So much wasted space. Parts that don’t make any sense at all. Notifications are a crap shoot. It crashes during conferences and blows through memory like mad. Whoever signed off on this trash is certifiably insane. Skype was uglyish and clunky but at least it worked.

Yep he was always a bit off color and said some eyebrow raising things at times. I wrote most of it off as banter and general crude joke style. Hell… my trans friend is the one that showed me the channel. It made me really question peoples’ true intent when they pull that crap now.

Yes I started to notice it pick up in frequency and stopped for a while because of that. Gives me the ick. Then when he went on the tirade I realized his intentions. Ugh.

That completely caught me off guard and I was super disappointed.

They have tools that let you cross-post effortlessly, so that’s strange.

His “business acumen” is hostile takeover style from the 80s-90s. If the guy really studied up he would’ve known those types come in and slash and burn. No one is spared. They squeeze the juice out until a company is “lean and mean” and attractive to investors that want to liquidate or restart without old guard getting in the way. What a dummy.

I thought we cancelled Ellen.

I was on-call and half awake when I got paged about a cache server’s memcached being down for the third time that night. They’d all start to go down like dominoes if you weren’t fast enough at restarting the service, which could overwhelm the database and messaging tiers (baaaaad news to say the least). Two more had their daemon shit the bed while I was examining it. Often it was best to just kick it on all of them to rebalance things. It was… not a great design.

So I wrote a quick loop to ssh in and restart the service on each box in the tier to refresh them all just in case and hopefully stop the incessant pages. Well. In my bleary eyed state I set reboot in the variable instead of restart. Took out the whole cache tier (50+) and the web site. First and only time I did that but that definitely woke me up. Oddly enough the site ran better after that for months as my reboots uncovered an undiscovered problem.

Vicegrips. Wirestrippers. A light screwdriver with common bits carried on its handle like a Sidewinder. Rake lockpick. SDR. Elevator key. Punch. File. Multimeter. Multitool with good pliers. Crank radio. Survival guide. Poncho. Silver exposure blanket. Fire starters. Multihammer thing. MREs. Good flashlight. Beater laptop like an old x200. Serial console adapter. Flares. Camping stove. Throw it all in a bugout bag after you learn how to use them.

If the cups aren’t plastic they’re unrecyclable paper amalgamations. Plastic bags were recyclable but now we have reusable ones that aren’t. Or both. Same for straws. They gave up after a year or so around here.

Just read an article that was basically saying we should consider all gut flora frenemies now. If you don’t eat enough fiber even the “good” kinds that help your body process it will go for your mucus lining, breach the cell barrier and enter the bloodstream. This causes inflammation and may also accelerate aging. Neat.

TLDR; eat fiber and don’t get old.

Mullvad is blocked quite often so this has me curious if obfuscation would do anything.

I heard Ireland hiring is also for tax reasons. But I’m seeing them move to South Americans more and more. Uruguay especially. I know Big Blue hired thousands there after doing RTO in the US.

Can confirm the first part. But then he says if you have too much experience you get less bites. And late night calls without more pay are an issue. Then tells us to “upskill” and have a “side hustle.”

Edit: Also, sorry OP. Been going through that too.

They don’t even know what DEI means until oh hey, they’re out on disability for months+ for surgery in their physically demanding job and need help because their arm or whatever doesn’t work and/or they’ll be out for surgery for months and/or SSDI rejects their claim. The willful ignorance and just plain ignorance is really sad.
