Trainguyrom,

My wife was working at an assisted living facility when those conspiracies were at their peak. She had a coworker who believed in it and tried very hard to convince the residents of the conspiracy too

Trainguyrom,

I think the funniest part of this is I was recently preparing some laptops for work with Windows 10 and it literally took 6 hours thanks to slow updates, one laptop corrupting the keyboard and touchpad driver so completely it required a full reinstall (on a fresh install mind you) and other impressively terrible snags. Granted it would’ve been more like 1-2 hours if I started with an install image that wasn’t about 2 years old, but it was still impressive how much of a time sink it was

Trainguyrom,

I have to agree, if you’re late or have assignments that don’t work correctly because of your special Arch/Nix install, you’re going to be in for a very rough time. College is when you need to focus on learning exactly what is prescribed by the professors and instructors. Anything else you learn is secondary, and your free time is best spent on extracurriculars and trying to make friends because thats the stuff that’s really hard to do after college. Y’know what’s not hard to do after college? Scavenge a junk computer for next to nothing and install NixOS and Arch on it

Trainguyrom,

When I’ve been watching the Republican debates and similar Fox News content I saw they have heavy advertising from some investment company that sells it as gold-backed securities or something along those lines. They know their audience and they’re collecting on that fact

Trainguyrom,

If you are told to travel from one office to another though you should be paid for your time

This is actually law in the 'states. If you need to travel further than your normal commute you are paid for your travel time from your normal location to the new one and if you drive your milage is paid at a rate of 67¢/mile off the top of my head. I worked IT at a rural bank for a while and had to expense my milage pretty often as I went to branches 30-50 miles away to swap computers and whatnot

Trainguyrom,

Met my wife on PoF as well about 7 years ago. Definitely a slog but I also now know that at the time I was a walking red flag factory

Trainguyrom,

Reminds me of the old joke “what’s the difference between libertarians and republicans? Libertarians know the legal age of consent in all 50 states”

Trainguyrom,

It’s possible with stegenography!

Trainguyrom,

There’s legal protections against retaliating against unions. How much teeth those protections have will vary wildly, but there are protections that do exist

Trainguyrom,

When I had to reinstall Windows 11 on a laptop at work with an 11th Gen i7 it took a good 30+ minutes of it faffing about between finishing the setup wizard and reaching the deskfop and when I to installed PopOS on a much older laptop with a 6th Gen i7 it took less than 5 minutes to perform the install

Trainguyrom,

Didn’t they delay console launch for this reason?

Trainguyrom,

I got a Canadian quarter once in the coin return in an old apartment’s laundry machines

Trainguyrom,

Having been exposed to those kinds of audits before that’s really just bad handling by the CTO and other higher ups!

Trainguyrom,

Is that 10 million active users of uBlock Origin or 10 million active installs? Also relevant because I’ve seen workplaces that deploy UBO to all users thanks to advertising being an easy vector of getting users to click random links they shouldn’t

Trainguyrom,

Russia’s original pretext for the war is not about territorial gains. It was supposedly regarding Ukraine’s attack on Donetsk, Luhansk, and ethnic Russian populations in general (such as the Odessa massacre), what they also called “de-nazification” of the Ukrainian government, and Ukraine’s bid to join NATO. This is easily verifiable, but I can provide you a sources on this if you doubt me.

Is that the line this week? They’ve been moving the goalposts so rapidly they must be on wheels (and better maintained wheels than the Russian army)

The Russian propagandista changed their lines so many times it’s blindingly obvious that there’s no greater good and it was supposed to be a land-grab just like when they invaded and annexed Crimea

Trainguyrom,

I interacted with him briefly in a forum but didn’t realize who he was until later. He had that a bit of that programmer awkwardness going, but also having such a vocal abd sustained backlash against a major project you’ve been working on for years has to affect the poor dude pretty heavily.

Trainguyrom,

At least you get texted about properties you once owned. I get texted about some dude’s properties across the country even though this hasn’t been his number for a good decade now

Trainguyrom,

Realistically speaking this is fraud that’s extremely difficult to detect. They would have to be able to prove that the income was falsified, and income can change quite a bit over time as people get promoted, demoted, change jobs, gain/lose bonuses and incentives etc. Its like lying on your resume, it can be what gets your career kickstarted, but its also risky

Trainguyrom,

50¢ a scoop is pretty cheap for any kind of ice cream?

Trainguyrom,

Here’s another fun one: frozen custard is like ice cream but has eggs in it! It really adds to the fullness of the frozen treat
