Escalate to your manager. She’s not performing her duties, and if she’s not capable anymore then her duties need to reflect that.

- Comment on 2025-03-15 Unplanned lemm.ee downtime 1 month ago:
We saw a brief similar traffic spike approximately an hour ago, but it dropped off pretty quick. It seemed to focus on our mlmym front end and briefly overloaded our backends for a minute.
- Comment on I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? 1 month ago:
Check Costco. They sell carts like that since people use them for their grocery runs.
- Comment on Is Severance the new Lost? 1 month ago:
No, From is the new Lost. It’s so good though, I highly recommend it.
- Comment on When fighter jets are scrambled to intercept a plane for security reasons, what can they actually do? 1 month ago:
They didn’t. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522
Happens in small planes too www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65814758

Shoot it down, or just get it’s attention. A lot of the time there’s a radio fuckup. If some guy cruising in his Cessna sees a fighter pull up along side, he’s definitely switching to 121.5.
Otherwise be there to shoot it down quicker if it looks like it might be taking an aggressive action.
- Comment on What happened to cylindrical plugs? 2 months ago:
Usb c has 24 pins. A typical barrel / stereo style jack has 2 - 4. The connector would have to be absolutely huge to carry the number of wires.
Power plugs are similar problems. You can’t risk the pins crossing over each other and shorting out. You don’t care about that on your headphones due to the low voltages. Wall plugs need to be fully isolated and safe.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
I think there’s a lot of grunt work artists than you might be aware of. My last job was at a video game studio and it was kinda eyeopening the amount of generic story boarding / art work they would send over to Eastern Europe / Asia to be done for cheap.
The visible side of the industry (what you’re talking about) yeah I agree, but AI is slowly going to pick away at the lower skill levels until only experts are really useful. How does a junior become an expert in that world?
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
how will it change the average person’s life in 1 - 3 years?
To be blunt, it’ll probably make them worry about losing their job. AI can’t do everything and it does a lot of stuff pretty shitty, but so do a lot of people.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
A lot will fail yes, but I think there’s actually a lot of value in AI and many will succeed. Blockchain has always been a solution in search of a problem, but AI actually can help in a lot of ways.

- Comment on Why are headhunters or recruiters so laser focused on getting my resume? 2 months ago:
So they can take it, modify it to fit the job description they’re trying to get a commission on, get you in, collect their commission, then disappear.
Their commission is often 25% of your yearly salary.

With the way the bricks are laid, wouldn’t it distribute the weight across the entire base?
- Comment on Phoenix Labs (creators of Dauntless and Fae Farm) just laid off most of their dev team 3 months ago:
I wish I could get more into this, but yes there were some major missteps during the covid/post-covid “stocks are crazy high, money is free!” period. After that there just wasn’t really a way to recover.
Unfortunately it’s pretty hard to avoid VC money, the tech industry runs on it.
- Comment on Phoenix Labs (creators of Dauntless and Fae Farm) just laid off most of their dev team 3 months ago:
Many. Unfortunately I also can’t talk about them, yet.
- Comment on Phoenix Labs (creators of Dauntless and Fae Farm) just laid off most of their dev team 3 months ago:
Fuck Forte labs.
Phoenix was the best place I’d ever worked until they came along. Fucking bitcoin bros destroyed everything because they didn’t understand the games industry.
- Comment on Do cats have intrusive thoughts about eating their humans? Conversely, do cats get scared of humans eating them? 3 months ago:
You know they’ll eat us if we die and they’re hungry right? science.org/…/yes-your-pet-might-eat-your-corpse-…
- Comment on Do dogs experience nostalgia? 3 months ago:
I don’t think we have any way to know.
My dog definitely remembers and gets excited about places when going back after years. Does he think about those places otherwise? Probably not

How dare someone expose you to a new culture.
- Comment on Would voluntary euthanasia benefit society? 3 months ago:
Depends why. In Canada we have MAID which allows it under specific medical circumstances. It’s controversial, but quickly becoming more popular.
I think something like 5% of our deaths last year were MAID
- Comment on LinkedIn job search sucks. Also, 30 minutes a MONTH?! 3 months ago:
If you’re looking in the tech industry, I’ve been finding app.welcometothejungle.com useful for bubbling the better stuff up to the top. I still trawl through LN though.
- Comment on Do dogs and cats have dominant front paws? 3 months ago:
If you ask my dog to give paw, he’ll give his right by default unless you say / indicate otherwise. When my cat eats his food, he picks it up in his right paw. So, maybe?
