Aren’t we all?

Can you provide some examples of WaPo articles that did this? Everything I read that I can recall listed his statements in context and gave the actual facts.

Both now gone.

I was just thinking the other day someone needs to cut out a picture of Trump pointing for this purpose. If he actually implements all the things he’s saying, there will be MANY opportunities to slap that on prices (even if it’s only in memes online).

Don’t forget 2 liters of soda!

I just ignore questions that I’m not interested in answering.

The other day, someone asked in the Linux community here on Lemmy why people don’t like Ubuntu. It seems someone asks this question every few months. I thought, “I’ve answered several times, I’m done answering it, let someone else take care of it.” Last I saw it had over 100 comments, so I feel the issue is resolved.

It’s not really even that. It’s when jurors believe the law should not apply in that specific instance for some reason.

For example, you might be opposed to the laws against drug possession in small amounts. You could vote “not guilty” if you were on a jury where someone was on trial for violating that law, even if it’s 100% clear the defendant did, in fact, break the law. That would be nullification.

I think I see where the admins are coming from in the sense of using nullification as a way to get off from a crime in planning (but, let’s face it, the odds that are EXTREMELY slim), but they already covered planning crimes as being against the policy. Why bother calling out the nullification part?

Oh I missed the fan works part. Carry on.

Don’t. You’ll just find out all the ways in which it sucks and how you are dumb for liking it. Don’t spoil it. Just enjoy the art on your own terms.

Not enough time and money for all of my hobbies and interests. Gotta come up with a way to earn money but not have to work.

Even for married couples. The Dick Van Dyke show was one example. Twin beds in the bedroom, separated by a nightstand.

When Mary Tyler Moore got her own show, they aired it before the Dick Van Dyke show, so no one would think they had gotten divorced.

Well there was that one time the vending machine decided to attack, but in general, it’s a human causing it to fall over.

I think his idea is that Mexico and Canada will, in response, do something about the illegal immigrants they’re sending to the US.

Yes, it’s deranged, but it’s also Trump, so what do we expect.

I agree with the concern you’re raising, but most of the time I ran into it, I was using bluetooth to a radio that had its own volume control. The phone was just reacting to the volume setting, not listening and knowing it was too loud.

I haven’t seen that happen in a long time, though. I saw elsewhere in the thread there was a way to disable it, so I might have done that, but I don’t recall seeing it at all on the newer Samsung S24 I got early this year.

To me, I don’t understand why someone would proofread their resume but not their cover letter.

Yeah, I hear that…but you’d be surprised at how often I see perfectly-rendered resumes, and then multiple obvious issues in a cover letter.

The cover letter helps you get the interview - after I make the decision (offer or not), I pretty much forget about the cover letter.

Zwiftinsider isn’t run by Zwift - he just reports on them (though he definitely has inside information, and they work with him on various things, like letting him use “bots” to test various functionalities).

That is pretty old. I think there are several approaches now. The one he lists, one using docker (I actually had it running on my desktop Linux machine, but I didn’t actually test it), and I think some people got it working under WINE.

Zwift’s saving grace is that you can connect most hardware via your phone - trainer, cadence, heart rate monitor, etc. - because it’s designed to also run on things like Apple TVs, iPads, and Android phones and tablets, albeit with probably lower graphics settings. So, you don’t need to worry about the hardware end of it (ANT+ dongle), which very much simplifies the issue. Which reminds me, my heart rate monitor is ANT+ only, and I’d need a bluetooth-capable one to do this.

(Also, at worst, I could run it on my tablet and hook that up to a monitor, so even if I can’t get it running on Linux, I still have options.)

Got that the other day on my gaming computer. Very irritating.

Especially since I bought the computer in 2021 specifically to run the virtual cycling program Zwift. I’m not replacing it just to placate Microsoft. It’s more than powerful enough to run Zwift and will be for years. I’m hoping the options for using Zwift on Linux pan out.

Interesting. I’m a hiring manager, and I’ve seen many cover letters that actually hurt the candidate because they have typographical errors, poor grammar, or are addressed to a different organization entirely. Probably 85% of cover letters I see do no harm; most of the rest hurt the candidate. The way you’re describing a cover letter sounds like it would be beneficial, but I don’t see ones like that very often. I definitely would appreciate that you took the time to tailor it to us.

My advice for everyone is, if you’re going to write a cover letter, proofread it just like the resume. If you’re short on time, focus on the resume and skip the cover letter (if you can - they might be required for some applications). I definitely notice a sloppy cover letter, so not having a cover letter will hurt far, far less than a sloppy one.

I wouldn’t toss someone’s application just because their cover letter had a typographical error in it, especially if the candidate is otherwise well qualified. But, if I’m borderline on whether I want to interview someone, and the cover letter is sloppy, I’m probably going to pass. We’re pretty detail-oriented, and a sloppy cover letter makes me worry about the details.

Ha ha, joke’s on them. Our office doesn’t have space for all of us. We downsized to …gasp… save money, which is what the federal government is supposed to do. They’d also have to renegotiate the union contract, something they just finished doing, so it’s not something they really even can address for several years at least.

But Biden isn’t squeaky clean on this either, he mandated some percentage of office space being utilized. Supposedly this was to help local businesses, like the fast food chicken place across the street that has survived without us there for almost 5 years now. (They were renovating our building and had us all move out during the pandemic.)

But there’s something wrong with the formula being used to calculate utilization of the building - and in our case, even if every cube was full every day, we still wouldn’t meet the requirement, because of how it’s calculated. I don’t have details, but it apparently includes space people can’t occupy - like server rooms and the cafeteria - and there’s no way to get an exception.

I’m pretty sure upper management would continue the telework setup if they could (I really think they intended to be primarily remote before the Biden administration put the brakes on it). But higher authorities have said no. Our current telework agreement is that we have to go into the office twice per pay period (two weeks), which isn’t too bad, but I’d still prefer not. My return to office is scheduled for February. We’re bracing for a lot of people to find other jobs or retire, and it has already begun.

I’m hoping to retire in about 7 years. Maybe this next administration will buy me out. I’d be open to a generous severance package.
