  • Boy, 11, shot dead after playing doorbell-ringing prank in Houston, police say

  • Not victim blaming, just an objective observation that it's not a safe prank to play anymore.

    Kid chases a ball into the street and gets hit by a car, it's the driver's fault. Kid has the right of way, but parents still teach them to look both ways before crossing because it's unsafe. Regardless of who's at fault if there's a collision, the consequences warrant extra caution. Same deal here. All three cases mentioned in the article resulted in the shooter/driver being arrested; they're clearly at fault. However, there's only so much that the law can do to hold somebody accountable for a death after the fact.

  • Google Play Games is about to show people what you play

  • I was joking, but it was my actual thought process when I responded to Google's email about this by deleting my Play Games profile altogether.

    Also, I haven't played a new Android game in years.

  • What's something you genuinely just don't understand?

  • I absolutely do not understand "deductible", which seems to mean something different every time I look at it.

    An amount you deduct from the payout of your coverage, typically in exchange for a lower premium. Often, here at least, health insurance will be a per-year deductible and auto insurance per-claim.

  • My Steam history isn't intimately tied to my bowel movements though. This is more personal.

  • That the article has two other examples of the same thing happening kinda backs up that it's not a safe prank anymore.

  • People in this School District voted for Trump to get rid of the Department of Education. Now, they fear losing school funding. "Please don't take away our funding. We can't function without it"

  • Maybe I'm still just waiting for the morning caffeine to hit, but I don't think that first sentence has any business using a comma.

  • Trump's immigration raids are largely catching noncriminals. Fox's coverage suggests the opposite.

  • I think they've picked up enough legal residents to not take that at face value at this point. I have to presume they're all here legally until proven otherwise in court.

    Jump

  • It's not suggesting the opposite, it's just using a different definition of criminal.

    When you say "criminal," you're referring to someone who has committed and/or been convicted of committing a crime. When Fox News uses the word, they mean people with skin that's more than 1.5 shades darker than Hulk Hogan's.

  • Pirate everything, and share as much as you're able.

  • What’s wrong with a time tracker?

    I've worked in once place where I was support (no projects, all work came from and was tracked in tickets). Since everyone had to use the time tracking system anyway, I had to enter 8 hours every day. I was salaried, so no OT or docked pay for time off; I entered the same 5x8 every week, regardless of what or when I worked that week. Pointless.

    Another time, I was subcontracting and had to enter time for the same projects for both my employer and the company that hired us. My employer wanted time submitted twice a month, and the hiring company demanded weekly. Tedious.

    Two of these three companies were irrationally anal about pre-filling the time sheets, even when the hours were well planned or functionally irrelevant.

  • How do insurers make money on drug plans?

    Jump

  • Timing matters too, as insurers keep the money invested. If you're collecting the same in claims that you've paid in premium, they're still profiting.

  • I have no idea why

    They don't feel bad about ripping off people they see below them. That's part of why they're okay doing it.

    Implying they can't get laid is a much bigger insult in their eyes.

  • Can you recommend a book that teaches you about cybersecurity?

  • The "All-in-One" exam guide for CRISC is a good starting point. Probably substantial enough to sit the exam if you want the ISACA cert, but definitely enough to give you a baseline of knowledge to pick somewhere to delve deeper if you're looking to specialize in something you can find a job in.

  • Arr, ye be wantin’ the secrets o’ the Servarr fleet, eh? Then lend me yer ears:

    Sonarr – This be the lookout in the crow’s nest, keepin’ watch fer new episodes o’ yer favorite shows. When it spies ‘em, it signals the crew to fetch ‘em down from the digital seas.

    Radarr – Aye, this one’s the treasure hunter, scourin’ the oceans fer full-length films instead o’ episodes. It marks the map, finds the booty, an’ brings the shiny reels aboard.

    Lidarr – The ship’s bard, huntin’ down new shanties an’ albums to keep the crew’s spirits high on long voyages.

    Readarr – A learned scribe, fetchin’ tomes an’ scrolls fer them what likes a quiet night with words instead o’ waves.

    Bazarr – The translator, givin’ ye subtitles fer shows an’ films in whatever tongue ye fancy, so no sailor be left in the dark.

    Prowlarr – The scout, integratin’ all yer trackers an’ indexers into one mighty spyglass, so the rest o’ the crew can search the seas more smartly.

    All together, they be runnin’ like a well-oiled pirate crew, each wit’ a role in findin’, organizin’, and keepin’ yer plundered media shipshape.

  • This stands today as my favorite demonstration to show people why I'm so grumpy at their meeting invites. Thank you for posting it here, as it was my first thought when seeing the OP.
