“Devitio”

I expect no less from AI garbage, haha

“raw dogging the Internet”… I chuckled out loud

One day, after I am done with -insert reason here-, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.

For some reason you’re “insert reason here” was dropped by lemmy. I guess a sequential less-than/greater-than messes with it.

Right?

$450 and a toaster to use something like the external batteries I’ve used for a decade.

Exactly.

Someone older than a teen understands we have a responsibility to bring people together, create a trusting environment, focused on the job at hand.

So even when someone brings up politics, I simply don’t respond, or just ask a work question. Because I know most people doing this want to have their viewpoint validated, and I probably don’t agree in some way. This situation helps no one, and just promotes divisiveness.

Work is for work, not for political bullshit.

Political bullshit is alway divisive, and we all work too damn hard to build cohesive teams.

I’ve seen it many times - if you’re one of those that is compelled to bring outside bullshit to work, where we have enough actual related issues to contend with, you’ll be left behind. People won’t want to work with you, I because you’re not a team player and more interested in discussing political crap (or reality TV crap, or whatever) than discussing the very real issues in front of us.

We already don’t have enough time for the tasks at hand, last thing we need is such juvenile nonsense.

You want to talk politics, do it on your break, away from me.

And your freedom of speech bullshit argument is nothing more than a sophistry tactic known as a strawman. This reveals you to be a sophist, not interested in discovering truth, but rather in winning an argument.

You even led with castigating me, and continued on with denigrating.

You should probably revisit your intentions and ethics.

Wait, no, electricity to run my fridge, convection oven and stove. 😁

Wow, I never made that connection

Are the links you added from the article or some others you found?

What kind of douchebag do you have to be to behave like this?

How many languages do you speak perfectly?

OP’s English is pretty damn good.

You’d be surprised how hard it is to find manuals these days.

Manufacturers have taken to:

1. Not printing them at all

2. Hiding them behind paywalls with exorbitant prices

I’ve never met an engine that doesn’t need valve adjustments, even with hydraulic lifters.

Now the adjustment period is far longer today, like in the 100k miles range.

Just be glad you rarely see shim/bucket adjustment these days. Boy was that a bitch.

Very good point about Agile.

As an end-user (that is, the IT staff that will be deploying/managing things), I prefer less-frequent releases. I’d love to see 1 or 2 releases a year for all software (pipe dream, I know). Once you have a handful of packages, you end up with constant change to manage.

I suspect what we end up with is early adopters embracing the frequent releases, and providing feedback/error reporting, while people like me benefit from them while choosing to upgrade less frequently.

There are about 3 apps that I’m a beta tester for, so even I’m part of that early-adopter group.

Agreed

Maybe just keep politics out of work?

I can’t stand anyone bringing up anything political at work - regardless of which “side”. It’s irrelevant and a distraction - I got shit to do.

So if you got shitcanned for it, you’ll get zero sympathy from me.

Exactly

But I’m not the one coming on here telling everyone weed eases pain.

Notice what I said: “I’ve found”. I didn’t tell other people what would work for them.

Except I’ve had experiences that aren’t explainable by alm this:

Discussing a random, never-thought-of-before idea with a friend, in the car. Neither of us had ever thought of this thing before (honestly don’t recall now what it was). Discussed it for 2 minutes, then moved on.

Later we’re both seeing related ads, yet neither of us searched for anything.

And it was something way out of left field for both of us, that neither of us had ever thought of before. The related ads were so jarring that we both told each other about it.

Oh, and my phone was rooted, de-googled (lineage), with heavy restrictions for the apps, no social media (I still don’t have any accounts with any of them, except here), etc. The other phone was an iPhone.

I’ve had a very similar experience.

Once discussed something, out of the blue, something I’ve never been curious about in my life, in the car, with a friend who also has never thought about the same thing.

Hours later we’re both seeing related ads.

Now, I get that the amount of data required for such analysis is supposedly outside the bounds of what phones can do. But I can’t see any other explanation. Neither of us ever searched anything in this subject, we talked about doe a couple minutes and moved on, never doing anything about it. We have very different interests, too.

Weed sucks for pain.

Opiates are the only thing I’ve found that makes any difference at all.

Not everyone is you.
