If you put the empty side towards the top of the machine, that works first try 95% of the time. For desktops, the top of the machine is motherboard side up.
That only works if the pc is laying on the long side; most modern pc cases are made to stand only on the short side; kind of a bummer for people like me that still have a desk made to have the pc under the monitor
That is what I meant. With desktops that are short side down, the motherboard side with the CPU socket, PCIe slots, etc. should be considered as upwards
If the CEO owns the business, then that’s a Capitalist CEO. If the CEO earns a salary paid by the owner of the business, then he can be considered Proletarian, though the wage is likely high enough to be closer to petite bourgeoisie. The power dynamic changes entirely.
In Communism, there could not be a Capitalist CEO, for example.
That’s not true, think of all the small to medium businesses there are. All of them got “CEOs” or whatever you want to call them and in many cases they do regular work besides leading the company.
I know a quite a few people who are very happy in their respective companies. Heck, I’m employed in the perfect template of a bureaucratic, capitalist megacorp and our CEOs shield us from a lot of bullshit of the group we belong to.
I think “CEOs = bad” is oversimplifying a lot. We just don’t hear about the good ones, because ragebait sells and capitalist media is something actually fucked up at this point
It’s 100% true. Just because I may be using terms you may not be quite familiar with doesn’t make me incorrect.
CEO is a job. It’s a managerial position. Usually, it is tied to some form of ownership, but not always. Choosing to take an active role in managing the company as a business owner does not mean your power does not come from ownership, nor does it mean you must take an active role.
Capitalists are necessarily exploitative and entirely unnecessary for running a company. You can have a CEO that owns a company just as much as the Janitor does, which entirely changes the source of the power and removes the ability to exploit the laborers. As an individual owner, a CEO can act in some manners that help workers, but will nevertheless be ruthlessly exploiting them in other manners.
It’s like everyone on this platform is a 15 year old. Someone above just said a hospital shouldn’t have a CEO. They’re children that think CEO means “evil person”.
“We were just thinking of the shareholders.” You can’t just pass the blame to shareholders. Why do shareholders exist? To create the illusion that everyone can be an “owner” so that the owning class can continue to fuck us all.
If you can get like 20% of the questions correct, you’re already smarter than the average person. Some people are just really damn good at trivia, and you don’t need to compare yourself to them. It only matters that you’re having a good time
As someone who hosts these types of shows, you have 2 forms of “know it all’s” - Pros and cheaters.
Pros are the people that just do trivia nights. I have some regulars that play 7 days a week at different venues, using their winnings to offset their food and drink costs. They know an ungodly amount of things themselves or they have a team of people with high levels of knowledge in different categories. You’ll find a lot of retired computer and science people in this group. I have a regular group of professors from the local university. They span over almost every discipline. They come about once a month and I haven’t seen them not get at least top 3 every time.
The second group, cheaters, can go fuck themselves with a cactus dildo. You’ll have probably 5% of a show being cheaters. This includes people that cheat the entire time and people that cheat for one or two questions.
Sadly, not much can be done about the second group. People will always cheat and venues are extremely reluctant to kick anyone out since it could affect their income. Plus, you have sneaky cheaters. I have one group that I know is getting answers from somewhere. It’s 2 people and they seemingly know everything. I suspect they have a friend at an earlier show feeding them the answers or someone in this company is leaking answers to them.
Anyways, you didn’t ask but I felt like posting that so enjoy ¯_(ツ)_/¯
As a QM myself, you learn so much by going down rabbit holes and the more you play the more you pick up on the nuances and hints in how questions are written.
But cheaters? Oh, sorry your scores are zeroed out. Maybe if you sit at the table right in front with your phones put away I wouldn’t have done that.
I once worked at a hospital in the ER where the department director was a union-busting bastard, but the CEO was pretty reasonable. After I left, one of the other ER techs went to the CEO about our pay being messed up and got everyone $5-6/hour raises to actual market rate. Also, there were a few weeks when we were really understaffed that the hospital encouraged admin folks to volunteer as “candystripers” in the ER to do stuff like help clean/turn over rooms, and answer patient call lights for water, blankets, etc. And the CEO was down in the ER for a couple hours every evening helping out most of that time period. It was encouraging to see the CEO of the hospital putting on some gloves and helping us with basic stuff like cleaning and stocking.
Why do you think a company without a CEO would be without anyone in charge? Can you only imagine something running if a single person has executive control of an org?
Good point. He earns exponentially more than anyone else in the hospital yet he can do whatever he wants. If he feels like being a candy-striper today for a few minutes, great. Then he can do whatever he wants after that. He’s not stuck doing one repetitive job day in and day out. He can do whatever he wants and earn exponential amount of money. How did he even get in that position?
It was a legitimately nonprofit hospital and he probably was overpaid, but at least he was a practicing physician at one point and did seem to give a damn about his staff.
I was hearing that most of the hate on Kevin Costner’s accent in Prince of Thieves was dog whistle racism against Morgan Freeman because an actual Olde English would’ve been unintelligible. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mel would want to satirize a toxic fandom.
