With the missing f it’s now a law about the transfer of talents of meadows used for the supervision of the labeling of beef.

I’m not sure why they’re supervising that on a meadow but the meadow is clearly very talented.

I have this variation:

1. Get hired. Enjoy awesome coworkers and decent perks.
2. Wait, this is a fintech company.
3. Why did I go with a fintech company again? I hate fintech!
4. Fuck it, I’m not quitting after a single year; I’m not gonna nuke my vacation planning two years in a row.
5. Queue Cue endless scrum meetings about badly defined PBIs referencing ancient versions of a poorly defined domain model.

I’ve never seen a sector of IT less organized, more averse to basic best practices, and more fixated on procedural boilerplate than fintech. It’s like ADHD poison and my relationship with it can be summed up with these lines from the Muppet Show theme:

Why do we always come here? I guess we’ll never know.
It’s like some kind of torture to have to watch this show.

Because they don’t care about morals or the country, they care about winning. If being a fraud is the shortest path to power they’ll be frauds. If being a fascist is the shortest path to power they’ll be fascists.

They can’t be on the wrong side of history when history is written by the winners and they already want to win at any cost.

Cooking instructions don’t mesh well with some people. I’m one of them.

Half of the time the instructions are vague (like “golden brown”, which has vastly different definitions based on what you’re cooking) and the measurements are often inexact (“to taste” is completely useless to someone who doesn’t know how the intermediate product is supposed to taste). Plus, you often have to do things during the heating process and if your multitasking isn’t good enough your meal is ruined.

All of this is less of a deal if you have someone with cooking experience in the kitchen. If you don’t, well, good luck.

I consider cooking to be highly stressful even with a recipe. Baking is much better since the measurements tend to be precise to the gram and the heating step happens in isolation.

Assuming that you can cook well enough that your meals are guaranteed to be edible, which is assuming a lot for novices.

The logic board has the CPU built in, that’s true. However, the Framework 16 has a swappable GPU and all models make the ports independent of the logic board through a USB-C-based expansion module system. So that’s even a few parts other manufacturer might consider unreasonable.

(Also, to be fair, I forgot one other thing most laptops let you swap: The WiFi/BT card, if only because it’s cheaper to have that on a swappable module.)

I mean, asterisk. Most laptops let you swap the storage and RAM and many let you swap the battery. Beyond that it usually gets difficult.

Framework let you swap everything, which is a major difference. But of course you pay for that privilege; modular design has its costs.

Still, good on you for getting a cheap upgrade. No need to throw away a perfectly good laptop if you can make it work fast again with a new SSD.

Lol, all the cat wants is that you come along on the away mission. (If you were bridge crew you’d be coming along anyway…)

To be fair, 80% of the campaign consisted of the GM going “yeah, that sounds cool, let’s go with it”. When the players noticed, they took it to the extreme and described how they one-shotted the Borg Collective and insta-ported themselves back home. And got away with it.

It’s also on Flathub and the AUR. And the Snap store, if you use that for some reason.

Heck, that can even happen with Windows.

My Logitech F710 never worked right with Windows because the driver’s power saving feature doesn’t mesh well with Windows 10’s power saving feature, causing dropped inputs. No such problems under Linux.

Not everything works everywhere. People are used to how things don’t work with Windows and learning how things don’t work differently with a Linux distro is annoying because you learn by running into problems. If you have people to switch over and have a good time you have to help than through this.

They stopped supporting Teams on Linux entirely. Linux users are supposed to run Teams in a browser and the browser version lacks certain features, even things like custom background images; you can only use the ones provided by Microsoft.

I use an unofficial client, which seems to be based on the old official one. That gives me most of the functionality back.

“Just as planned,” thinks the wife as she starts going down on the hot dog man.

His first call consisted of repeatedly asking: “Where are you? How old are you? What do you want?”

Mind you, LLMs can be quite inconsistent. If you repeat the same question in new chats, you can easily get a mix of good answers, bad answers, bafflingly insane answers, and “I’m sorry but I cannot support terrorism”.

That is more likely, yes, but not the worst possible outcome.

Given the rapidly increasing debt, an economy mainly driven by what many experts consider a bubble, growing political unrest, and an ongoing trade war, the financial stability of the country could further deteriorate. If it does so too much (and especially if the response is to print money, as had been mentioned), inflation could spiral out of control.

Remarkably, that somehow makes it slightly less ugly, if inly for breaking up the optical lines and making it look less like a drivable polygon. Then again, anything from a 90s geometric pattern to WWI dazzle camouflage would’ve had the same effect while being more dignified.

Okay, perhaps not dignified. It’s a Cybertruck.

Let’s go, hyperinflation!

Get paid in the morning, then rush to the store because by evening your money will have lost half its value! Use $100 notes as wallpaper because it’s literally not worth trying to pay with them for anything! Make a lucrative business out of selling billion dollar notes to foreigners for as much as 5 CAD a pop! Fun fun fun!

Yeah, no. The dollar can crash harder and you might want it to stop crashing while it still has some dignity left.

Hotel cubes? You mean non-adjustable shared desks with 10 cm high felt partitions which do absolutely nothing to keep you from hearing the espresso machine with perfect clarity no matter where you sit. Also, every team contains at least one consultant who remotes in from another country so all meetings have to be on Teams.

When you like rolling release distros because you’re still traumatized from trying to version-upgrade Fedora Core. Although I went with Garuda because of convenience tools like garuda-update.
