Skill issue

I bought a size of pizza from a food truck in DC and it was so bad I threw it away. Which is saying a lot for pizza

This headline reads like a threat

If the person can do the work, why the deception? Is this like overemployed on steroids?

Tickets are primarily inbound right? Do you deal much with tasks that are generated by you or your team, rather than coming from somewhere external?

Your symbol system is interesting. When I used to keep written to do lists I just had dots/bullets for each item, and would make a larger square around the items which took priority. What does investigation mean to you in this context?

That’s an interesting philosophy. You haven’t had people annoyed that you didn’t follow up on something they’ve asked about? I guess my memory at least isn’t good enough to track everything I need to do. Or maybe I could remember but feels like more work/risk than having an external system. I also primarily deal with customer facing stuff so maybe I’d feel different than if I was only dealing with coworkers.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting, the idea of a big list and then a “doing today list” lines up with a “time management for dummies” book I found in a drawer at one of my first jobs. For a while I was using that system but written by hand.

Not the OP, but mastodon is open source and not corporately controlled. That seems pretty important when whoever controls the platform can make decisions about what content is surfaced to a user. If I’m the government or a politician I want to make sure I have a direct line to my constituents.

I use both these days, I don’t think the user interface is particularly confusing for mastodon, but I think what bluesky has over it is you don’t have to choose a server, and the types of users and stuff they’re posting on bluesky has a certain appeal. (For example all the funny accounts I used to follow on twitter went to bluesky)

Very cool. Thanks for the link!

I’ve been reading “The Power Broker” where among other things, Bob Moses was building highways in New York and refused to even consider extending the right of way 15 meters to allow for future public transit projects. Glad to hear they’re (unsurprisingly) doing it right with the highway plus rail lines.

I’d like to implant a pigeon brain into a human body

Like another commenter here said, what did Signal do wrong in this case? We don’t want a third party to be able to see our encrypted messages, or to know who it is who is using the service. Which is desirable when I’m using it, but undesirable when an aggressor is using it. Unfortunately you can’t have one without the other.

I’ve been reading “The Power Broker” about Bob Moses, who built an insane amount of expressways in New York. This reminds me of multiple instances in the book where he planned the route in a way that didn’t seem to make sense until you learned that a powerful or wealthy person stood to gain from doing it that way.

I think what has made starlink possible at all has been that musk also owns SpaceX so he can launch a shit ton of satellites. No other launch provider can match their cadence, so I’d guess that will be a limiting factor

Would you have given the same advice about refugees from literal Nazi Germany

Why would citizenship be based on where your parents are from?

Works for me

I was going to say, it’s more of a discovery tool

I had waited a long time to have any kind of personal experience of God, and finally gave up. Like they said, the holy spirit was supposed to work in you, I prayed for it and looked for it for a long time. Since it didn’t appear, no reason to excuse the problematic passages or shitty people.

Also being at a worker coop doesn’t mean you have to sit in company meetings all day. For large organizations like Mondragon workers vote for representatives in an assembly, which then appoints a general manager.

Also also, an owner who cares is a single point of failure/leverage. If they fall on hard times personally or just want to retire, they can decide to sell the business out from under workers to a venture capital firm, or just to another business with a less benevolent owner.
