I went to dragon con one year, people were dressed in all sorts of costumes even though it’s not a furry con. And I know the hotels where the con is are incredibly hard to book. That said just once I want some senior executive to accidently book a room in one because he has some meeting with a potential client of something and just so happen to click it at the right time.

He shows up and is completely bewildered by all the people in costumes. “you’ll never believe it mark. I rode down the elevator with a robot and I swear to God… Tiny from Bob’s burgers”

I do this alot but I alway follow up with “Do you know what blah is?” and depending on age/experience/acronym or term I ask them to explain it.

Sometimes I get assigned work with a senior engineer(where I learn) and sometimes I get asked to help a new person. For example right now I’m in a project being driven by a senior engineer but was asked to assist a professional development program employee(or pdp) to actually execute the project. As a result this is the habit I developed to 1. Make sure I don’t confuse people with random acronyms or terms 2. Ensure we are on the same regarding definition(and they are not just saying yes I know when they don’t).

But can he lie about it? Can his brothers deny?

No, I replace some of them, Whatever needs it’s. For example this is actually a peripheral year so my monitors are good, my desk is good, I’m 50/50 on my chair but I’m planning to replace my speakers.

No, I replace some of them, Whatever needs it’s.

I tend to recommend a 3 year cycle. Year 1 upgrade peripherals (speakers, monitors, maybe chair, keyboard, mouse etc) year 2. Upgrade video card and hard drives. year 3. Upgrade motherboard, ram and cpu. Year 4 repeat year 1

With this you can you can do 95% of the latest stuff with “good” stuff (think XX70 cards rather then 80 or 90 series) since you are never that outdated on any portion.

Great they removed them… Did they report the images to the authorities?

Partially I agree with “official acts” being above the law. For example certain judges can order someone to be killed and not fave murder charges… If I order my neighbor to be killed, I get murder charges. That “official act” is above the law. We granted those judges that right. Cops can break speed limits when chasing criminals. Again that’s an official act and should be above the law.

Now the concern comes from who declares an action “official”.

A judge can’t say Rob a bank and declare it an official act. A police officer can’t distribute child porn and declare it an official act.

I hear they have a wand that is magical…

Actually I think that would then add a additional charge for registration fraud

I’m a real man… I’m going to work at Hitachi making large heavy construction equipment… Like cranes and back loaders… Wait what do you mean “personal massager department”???

I don’t know about blue but here is all the math to turn a red light green… Don’t think of doing it though while you could probably get out of a ticket for running a red light I don’t even know what the fine is for driving many thousand times the speed limit is.

Edit: just realized I forgot to post the actual link… https://sciencenotes.org/fast-go-make-red-light-look-green-relativistic-doppler-effect/#:~:text=If we take the speed of light to,to convert to km%2Fhr%2C you get 197%2C640%2C000 km%2Fhr.

You’re not that off with the brisket comment. On the really hot days here in Texas you can take a cookie sheet, buy a pack of break and bake cookie dough, put the dough on the cookie sheet, leave it on your dash board and go to work.

When you get out you have a dozen fresh soft baked cookies and your car smells amazing 😁

My bad, I read it wrong. I was thinking the 2.43 million was for the emergency buttons. I should have read more carefully. $250 each is still expensive but not obscene.

Wait… So each panic button is 12k? Someone is getting rich off this deal

Not to mention the amount of analog clocks that are just wrong. I work at a fortune 500 company, most clocks are digital and synced to a time server. Every analog clock is wrong. Just yesterday I walked through the cafeteria and glanced at the clock and it read 5:20… For a second I panicked and was like it can’t be that late. I checked my phone, it was 3:06. The clock was just not set properly.

At that point it’s a single point of failure, hack that central repo and infect everything. Plus Linux is not centralized… That’s kinda the point, suse, Debian, arch, red hat all have their own repos…

Delete if self-promotion is not allowed but I am looking for capital funding for my new startup featuring Ham based boneless chicken wings…all the fun of boneless chicken wings with the added fun of ham. It will be a sensation!

*not actually looking for funding or a self-promotion…its a joke

If I confess to what I did on a dare is that a truth or dare?

My old apartment had “ac” in Dallas Texas. The other week I have an outdoor indoor temperature monitor thing, it was 89 inside and 91 outside at 930 at night. I just moved out, like last truck was today, I don’t know if I had a minor heart attack or heat stroke yesterday just from moving things to the truck. I probably should of gone to the hospital but I was stubborn and recovered mostly about 1 hour later(at least enough to walk to the car with real ac) and finished moving today. Now it’s 74 in my apartment and reads 125 outside but that’s in direct sunlight.
