  • My Dear Ebeneezer,

    It has come to my attention that in the seven years since my untimely demise, you have become an increasingly greedy and insufferable twat. I must strongly advise you against this. First, because I do not wish you to walk the earth bound by the chains of your own sins, in penance, as I have. Second, I wish to spare you the agony of sitting through three separate hour-long presentations that could have been an email. Lastly, the villagers have begun singing songs about what a bad person you are when they think you're not listening. They didn't even do that to me when I was still alive. Once again, I implore you to immediately cease being a greedy, insufferable twat for your own sake.

    Most Regretably Yours,

    Jacob Marley

  • (Here's my favorite) The gaps between the beam and joists are fine and eventually the house will settle and the joists will bear on the beam. Putting in shims would be pointless because they'd get crushed and compressed when the house settles. (He really told me to wait until your floor sags and it'll line up)

    Is the contractor planning to come back and fix all your cracked drywall/plaster for free? Half the point of installing additional supports is to prevent any further sagging. Whoever did this needs to find a new profession.

  • Am i cooked? SAS or SATA

    Jump

  • Why not just use what you have until you can afford to and/or need to upgrade? SAS drives are more expensive because they typically offer higher performance and reliability. Hardware raid may be "old" but it's still very common. The main risk with it is that if your raid card fails, you'll have to replace it with the same model if you don't want to rebuild your server from scratch.

  • Zelensky’s Government Sabotaged Oversight, Allowing Corruption to Fester

    Jump

  • Ok. There's clearly been some instances corruption and that warrants concern. On the other hand, this article seems to lack ...uh... situational awareness. Foreign countries trying to micromanage the aid they're providing Ukraine while the country is fighting a full scale war is assinine.

    That's like having to deal with FEMA (which is a huge pain in the ass) while a tornado is ripping through your living room and you're just trying to not die.

  • My oldest child is the only one who calls me by my first name. When I adopted her, I told her she didn't have to call me "dad" unless she wanted to. I've heard her refer to me as "dad" when she thinks I'm not in earshot.

  • Oh man. "Inner restlessness" is probably my least favorite ADHD symptom. I'm not outwardly hyperactive but my defective little brain sure is.

    I used to treat it daily with Jim Beam but that's not a good way to live either.

    Now I take my bed time meds (including melatonin) about 3 hours before bedtime and put on my blue light glasses. It's not perfect but it's better than it used to be.

  • Nuclear Powered Steam Locomotives

    Pros:

    • Looks cool as hell.
    • Only needs to be refuled every 25 years.
    • It's a steam locomotive.
    • It's a steam locomotive.
    • Did I mention it's a steam locomotive?

    Cons:

    • Have to replace the fireman with a nuclear engineer.
    • Still have to stop to grease bearings and take on water periodically.
    • Hazardous radioactive materials.

    Pros clearly outweigh the cons. What are we waiting for?

  • How good engineers write bad code at big companies

    Jump

  • Management often views software engineers more like machines that spit out code rather than actual engineers who design software. I can't tell you how many projects I've been on where someone up the ladder is unhappy with the time estimate given to complete a feature so they either bring on a contractor or pull a team from another project

    Invariably, the additional "help" makes a giant cluster fuck and the people who are actually familiar with the code are now stuck having to scrutinize every PR and fix a ton of defects rather than contributing to feature development. Then the feature takes twice as long to develop as originally estimated. Management scratches their head, shrugs it off, and repeats the same mistake the next time.

  • [OC] Projectile ring for ammunition inside the 16 inch main gun of the USS North Carolina

    Jump

  • Battleships were an interesting chapter in naval history. They were first developed around 60 years before aircraft carriers, increasingly designed with the idea that they would be able to hit enemy targets while remaining out of range of returned fire. That ended up being an unrealistic expectation. Those 16 inch guns can lob a 1 ton shell nearly 24 miles but not very accurately at that range.

    Battleships probably outlived their tactical usefulness. They were definitely good for projecting force. Few things say "I'm going to obliterate you" like a large, fast ship armed with 9 giant-ass canons.

  • I've heard it called a "suicide plug". A common use for them is back feeding power from a generator into your homes electrical panel during extended power outages.

    It can technically work but comes with major safety risks such as:

    • Giving yourself a nasty shock.
    • Electrical fire.
    • Electrocuting anyone who comes in contact with the power line, i.e. a lineman who might assume the line is de-energized.
    • Blowing up your generator when the power comes back on.

    The proper way to do it would be to have a transfer switch and generator plug installed. The transfer switch guarantees that when you're running on gen power, you're not back feeding through the transformer out to the power line.
