Oh, wow.

Looks like some of it was filmed in a back yard, some at a RenFest site. Lol, gotta love it!

(In Sydney’s voice) “are you sure, or is that just what you want to see?”

So I know whether to waste my time

“Devitio”

I expect no less from AI garbage, haha

“raw dogging the Internet”… I chuckled out loud

One day, after I am done with -insert reason here-, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.

For some reason you’re “insert reason here” was dropped by lemmy. I guess a sequential less-than/greater-than messes with it.

Right?

$450 and a toaster to use something like the external batteries I’ve used for a decade.

Have you seen the books?

I know someone in a place like this, and to move there they essentially sell any property they have to buy their space in the facility.

It’s not cheap, but these places also provide on-site medical facilities with trained staff so someone 65 having a stroke has a decent chance of being OK.

62 is first year of social security eligibility.

Since I haven’t seen it mentioned, Still Game. Scottish characters in a retirement community. brutally funny, actual laugh out loud.

Exactly.

Someone older than a teen understands we have a responsibility to bring people together, create a trusting environment, focused on the job at hand.

So even when someone brings up politics, I simply don’t respond, or just ask a work question. Because I know most people doing this want to have their viewpoint validated, and I probably don’t agree in some way. This situation helps no one, and just promotes divisiveness.

Work is for work, not for political bullshit.

Political bullshit is alway divisive, and we all work too damn hard to build cohesive teams.

I’ve seen it many times - if you’re one of those that is compelled to bring outside bullshit to work, where we have enough actual related issues to contend with, you’ll be left behind. People won’t want to work with you, I because you’re not a team player and more interested in discussing political crap (or reality TV crap, or whatever) than discussing the very real issues in front of us.

We already don’t have enough time for the tasks at hand, last thing we need is such juvenile nonsense.

You want to talk politics, do it on your break, away from me.

And your freedom of speech bullshit argument is nothing more than a sophistry tactic known as a strawman. This reveals you to be a sophist, not interested in discovering truth, but rather in winning an argument.

You even led with castigating me, and continued on with denigrating.

You should probably revisit your intentions and ethics.

Water

Wait, no, electricity to run my fridge, convection oven and stove. 😁

Wow, I never made that connection

Hahaha, so he does!

Please tell me you write opinion pieces for a living, and where I can find them.

Except decaffeinating coffee really messes it up.

You’d be surprised how hard it is to find manuals these days.

Manufacturers have taken to:

1. Not printing them at all

2. Hiding them behind paywalls with exorbitant prices

I’ve never met an engine that doesn’t need valve adjustments, even with hydraulic lifters.

Now the adjustment period is far longer today, like in the 100k miles range.

Just be glad you rarely see shim/bucket adjustment these days. Boy was that a bitch.

Very good point about Agile.

As an end-user (that is, the IT staff that will be deploying/managing things), I prefer less-frequent releases. I’d love to see 1 or 2 releases a year for all software (pipe dream, I know). Once you have a handful of packages, you end up with constant change to manage.

I suspect what we end up with is early adopters embracing the frequent releases, and providing feedback/error reporting, while people like me benefit from them while choosing to upgrade less frequently.

There are about 3 apps that I’m a beta tester for, so even I’m part of that early-adopter group.

Agreed
