I’m curious on how you reconcile the “towns not much larger than 700 people” and the advanced automation you have in your world.
Drones, computers, or any of the 15 layers you need to support any “network” need significantly more people than groups of 700 to manufacture.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 3 days ago:
That’s just how the game is. It’s incredibly simplified. Every issue has a decision for you to make and that decision only impacts 2-4 things. Usually 1-2 positives, and 1-2 negatives.
It’s a really fun little game but it shouldn’t be used as a replacement for actual policy.

Wait where is the completely unnecessary side plot about the undergrads partying with another professor??
- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 1 week ago:
Okay so I originally assumed this was probably due to some union rule or something like that. But I didn’t find any reference to it in the NALC guidelines, anything in the USPS resources center (which is hard to use), anything in google searches, and the original employee documentation or spec.
I did find the USPS History section and it turns out they have someone whose job title is “Postal Historian”, Stephen Kochersperger.
But, anyways, I found the address (not email of course haha) for the USPS history office so I have wrote up an letter and put it in the mailbox. I will eventually update yall

I don’t really know. Nobody seems to really be in jail, and their agenda keeps happening so enlighten me please.

they are serving up major Ls for trump.
Are they tho? Cause to me it seems like trump is floundering and the DNC has spent the last 9 years doing fuck all about it
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 1 week ago:
Haha I’m actually from an IT background! I started doing it because I was tired of paying like $1000/month for 7361618 little programs.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 1 week ago:
There is a difference between “I’m frustrated with work so I will be short with people” and “I am going to systematically create a rumor that one of the IT guys is actually bi” or “10 of us are going to gang up on a new nurse and bully her until she leaves crying”.
Those are some of the worst examples but little petty stuff happened all the time. But it was even little things like every time a nurse would walk away the other nurses would talk about how they’re putting on weight or being a bad mom or some other nonsense.
I don’t know, like I said this is anecdotal stories. But I’ve worked a lot of places in a lot of industries and nurses aren’t the only ones who are overworked, underpaid, and burnt out. But they are overwhelmingly the ones who act the meanest.

making the most randomized bespoke solutions to every little business niche
Hey that’s my cubicle job! Last week I made a program because one of the locations at my company wanted to be able to view tolls (were a trucking company) for their drivers only. So I threw that together.
This week I’m making a program which will replace a spreadsheet to track tablets (drivers get one for electronic logs). It won’t do anything crazy but it will be color coded! (Color coding was the single most important feature they requested)
But today I didn’t work on that because they wanted a little tool to convert various file types into TIFF files because they work the best with our management software.
So yeah, lots of random little automations and tools for like 1 or 2 people to do their niche little responsibilities.
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 1 week ago:
Being burned out doesn’t mean being catty, intentionally spreading false rumors, forming impenetrable cliques, and just being rude and talking behind each others backs.
I get it, nurses are over worked and under paid. But so are a ton of other professions and they dont have this same problem.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 1 week ago:
Honestly a reasonable reaction from Bubblegum. Why go to a Globetrotters game and then complain about them doing Globetrotters stuff?
Would you watch a documentary and then complain about a silky British voiceover? Or a soap opera and complain about the hazy look of it? Or a musical when you can see the actor scurrying away after “dying” (hint, they don’t actually die)
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 1 week ago:
For my anecdotal story, I’ve never been treated worse than when I was doing IT for a hospital and working around nurses. God it felt like I was in a mean girls movie or some campy coming of age story about bullying.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 1 week ago:
The former is also kinda cheating because Doom was actually running on an external controller just using the display on the pregnancy test to display the game.
- Comment on Based tesla user??? 1 week ago:
Its honestly blown my mind that it’s taken this long to get something that’s even somewhat competitive with the Tesla’s.
Like a Model 3 is $35k, has a near perfect safety score, can go like ~360 miles on a charge, and is a 4 door sedan.
Let’s look at some competitors why don’t we?
- BMW i3 has a 4 star rating, gets like ~300 miles range, and costs $60k
- Honda Prologue does have a 5 star rating, but it only gets ~300 miles range, and is a SUV, it also starts at $50k
- BYD HAN (the only one i could see on their website in the states) only gets “300+ miles” on a charge, but it supposedly only costs around $30k. I also couldn’t find any safety information that didn’t come from the Chinese government so I wont comment on that.
Obviously Musk is a bad guy and you shouldn’t give him money and all that. But it seems like the legacy manufacturers are like 3-4 years behind, and that’s the smallest the gap has ever been.
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 1 week ago:
a lot of users want those kinds of features
I had to re-enable them on computers at my company. I changed a policy to get rid of it and by the end of the day I had a dozen or so emails (~10% of the company) asking for them back.
YMMV of course and I don’t personally like them. But a lot of people actually do. I think a lot of the people in communities like this forget how much of a power user they really are, and what actual users really want.
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 1 week ago:
Unless that windows 7 computer is entirely air-gapped from your network, you should switch it to Linux or Windows 10 (which is going out of support in October).
Even if you have it on a separate VLAN or have it restricted from accessing the internet, there are attacks that can use another device on the network as a starting point for attacks.
Having a Windows 7 computer anywhere near your network is an enormous security risk. And one that is frankly not worth it, given the alternatives that exist.
- Comment on It's a fun new game 2 weeks ago:
No you either don’t understand math in general or how to follow instructions.
Because as written, these are two wholly separate operations. So there’s no “order” to them except linearly.
And even if you wrote it out, you still couldn’t end up with 0 unless your card number is 0.
- Comment on A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates 2 weeks ago:
Most OSes will let you do it but
2025.01.01.pngcould have issues compared to2025-01-01.png. Plus I think it’s a little clearer what the file type actually is.Its just a little pedantic thing I’ve picked up after years of being a sysadmin.
- Comment on A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates 2 weeks ago:
I like dashes because they work better than dots or slashes for file names.

- Comment on Anon is worried about men 3 weeks ago:
Its a pretty big assumption that I am not also in that position.
And not that it matters, but I’ve moved almost every year since I was about 10 years old. Sometimes multiple times a year. And I’m not going to pretend I’m besties with every single person I’ve ever lived next to but it was also beneficial to be a friendly neighbor.
People are mostly willing to help their friends.

That’s only about 180,000km (~112,000 miles) or just under half way to the moon.
- Comment on This is unfair! 3 weeks ago:
Damn that’s a shame. My team would also do this like once a month and the buffet we went to absolutely loved us. They would keep the party room open for us and prepare extra food the night before. Hell the owners came to some of the bigger meets too when they could.
Then someone drove a semi truck through the front of the building (nobody was hurt, it was overnight) and they never reopened :(

I’m making almost double what I was as an electrician in IT.
- Comment on Anon makes life choices 3 weeks ago:
Funny enough i switched from being an electrician to doing IT a few years ago.
I’m making a ton more money and I’m inside all day. Which is nice today because it’s 25°F and windy as shit here today. Its less nice when it’s 70°F and sunny though.

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 weeks ago:
October is when security patches for windows 10 will stop. Its when it goes full out of support. LTSB will continue getting security patches for a couple years though.
- Comment on p r e s s u r e 4 weeks ago:
Gas can behave like a fluid. Or rather, the two can behave similarly, but they aren’t the same thing.
