Yep. We had an ongoing prescription for my wife something simple ( I forget what) I went to pick it up and the pharmacy tech was like oh we will pull you aside for a consult. I'm like, uh its not for me its my wife's and she's had it for a year I think she knows how to take it.
Another time for one of my kids they charged my insurance company for a medicine they hadn't handed out yet. They assumed we would get it monthly even though my kid had moved. So just billed the insurance anyway. I lodged a complaint with the insurers that they were commiting fraud.
Then you had shoppers and manulife trying to go kahootz and force you to use only shoppers.
If you want completely different genre, these I find helpful if I can't sleep.
Darknet Diaries - stories of ex hackers and penetration testers telling their experiences on a job. Sneaking into various facilities etc.
Stuff You Should Know - two hosts laying out various topics with a bit of silliness and banter mixed in.
Lost SciFi Podcast -dude reads various short stories from ages ago. He's a good reader but just enough monotony to fall asleep to if you aren't into the story
Debloating a system for a tiny appliance device is worth it. Debloating on a machine with a modern processor, 16-64 GB ram and a TB harddrive is not necessary. You may not even notice a difference.
But if you enjoy that stuff, go for it.
I have only used KSH for a proprietary software install that needed it, it didn't feel much different than working in a BASH shell.
Yeah, I was tinkering with a 16 year old Iomega NAS, and put Debian on it, which was an old Debian to fit the 3.x kernel in it. I needed to add a few packages but was getting odd errors. So I figured lets try chatgpt, since I'm just killing time with this anyway, and I have an image saved for quick redeploy.
Some stuff was good advice and progress, then it claimed I couldn't get one thing installed because I needed a newer version of apt. It led me through how to find the apt releases and fins appropriate version.
Downloaded that and installed it, it gave an error about something not supported. Chatgot then told me to run a specific command, which gave a massive warning. Chat says all, good just proceed.
It unistalled my working apt version and left me with a broken new one.
So I paste the result in and chat triumphantly tells me I did it and solved the problem. Lol
Now there's no apt or way to download anything LOL.
People forget vets are doctors, and doctors of many species, not just one species.
All that training, staff, equipment and supplies, building costs are expensive.
Business managers who don't understand work flow and lead time properly. If they read The Theory of Constraints and understand the concepts they'd realize the important part is keeping the work/product moving even if that means an idle machine that just punches one hole all day, but necessary.
Yes, we had a tooling design and it was going to fail because the angles and mechanisms were not right. My boss overruled me, under protest, and we built it how the customer wanted it with no changes.
It failed in production.
There was a big meeting with everyone upset. I said I told you! And tried to reexplain why it doesnt work. They denied knowing about the issues previously.
Thankfully the president stepped in and said, I was in the initial meeting and remember you warning of the potential failure. Then everyone shut up.
I liked candycorn till one of my kids made a bunch of it at home and pointed out the layers are just food colour and not a different flavour ingredient etc. The facade was ruined.
