Currently in an MSP. It’s all on the company culture as to if it’s shit or not. We’re fully wfh with no plans to move back to the office.

Overtime is never forced. If we have to work through lunch because all hell is breaking loose, we’re practically encouraged to leave an hour early unless the CEO is allowing ot and we want it. No pressure either direction.

If users are rude or generally hard to deal with, manager has our back in dealing with them.

Pay isn’t top dollar but there’s trade-offs

All votes should matter. Thanks to gerrymandering and the electoral college rules, not a lot actually do

Specifically for president. They absolutely matter for local elections.

Hey, I’m not normally one to judge but it seems like a bad idea to call yourself spyware. Either you’re going to blow your cover or it’s just negative self talk.

I can only hope that the anti solar groups are arguing in bad faith when they complain about how the sun works.

Either that or: they actually think that pro solar doesn’t understand this fact or one of the two groups doesn’t know how to pair solar with batteries.

Sometimes you need a hard copy

I’m just sad that the middle earth movies didn’t include Tom Bombadil. Yeah, it would have severely interrupted the movie flow but that’s kinda Tom’s whole deal.

The Hearts in Atlantis movie is wholly different from the book and I really can’t get myself to enjoy the movie even when trying not to compare because the underpinning plot drivers were removed. It would be like doing King’s Insomnia as a movie and not including the little doctors.

It’s complicated and a difficult tightrope to walk for people who enjoy both book and movie stories

I never go into a movie expecting them to stay close to the book. To paraphrase Douglas Adams, each medium has it’s own way to tell a story and you can’t compare them equally

Like Tolkien, his writing style isn’t for everyone. Some are drawn in by the madness and cosmic horror realized, others can’t penetrate the veil and tune out. Then again, that’s what’s great about fiction and story telling. Finding what works best for you.

Honestly, there are very few adaptations that aren’t cheesy or completely removed from the source material in somewhat major ways.

Take the Shining. Great film. Great book. The two should not be compared as if they were the same story.

Dreamcatcher on the other hand, no notes. Perfect in both versions. Especially the fact that the movie kept the shit weasels in.

For some comparison, wife and I went to a Tuesday noonish showing of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and there were more than 8 people. So, at a time slot that would be totally understandable to have 1-2 people at a showing, there were way more than for this waste of digital space.

I would like to know more about this jellyfish. And your lcars

I’ll trade you a design I found/am getting set up for my workflow of a 3x3 macropad with a rotary dial to cycle through multiple pages of macros beyond just 9.

You saying we can trust the Danes?!? Have you heard their language!?!

I wonder how much of that is because of how much they grew vs the production cycle as dictated by constantly feeding the yt algorithm.

The difference between putting out a video every day and putting out a video when it’s ready is a decision that each channel makes

If I want an actual review, I’ll trust Jeff Geerling, GN, Explaining computers, Craft computing, or ETA Prime.

If I want to watch someone do dumb tech stuff, I’m going for Linus, Dawid, …and red shirt Jeff Geerling. The difference is that the latter two go into it fully transparent that what they’re doing is purely for the “will it blend?” vibe and should not be taken too seriously.

Linus’ videos blur the line a little too much between legitimately educational and purely for the entertainment value in a way that could give people false impressions of either the tech or processes.

Portuguese is what happens when a Spaniard speaks French while hungover

Could also be the switch Zelda games

I believe you’ll find that it’s Ebony and Ivory. … Side by side in perfect harmony

That barrier to entry is no joke tho. I’m still trying to get myself to a point where I can confidently put my hat in the ring for infosec roles

It’s already been done on farm vehicles, why not cars

If I don’t have the tool, I soon do have the tool. My toolboxes are not well thought out but built from years of “this would be so much easier if I had X… Screw it, I’m going to the hardware store”
