  This is weird. The links all show other news agencies, and you see the same at the top of the page when you follow the links. Is MSN re-hosting the stories from all these agencies or are the agencies opting in for this?

  Nothing like seeing an Associated Press link and having it open on msn.com!! 🤡

  If I were in a fire and suffocating and somehow had a long tube in a bathroom, I think I’d stick the hose out the window and breathe that water instead.

  And if I found myself:

  • trapped in a bathroom
  • suffocating due to smoke from a fire
  • i have a long flexible tube
  • no windows in the bathroom AND
  • I’m somehow not going to burn to death

  Then I’ll just fucking die. It’s fine. That’s such an edge case I’m not gonna worry about it.

  My condo building just got rid of the company that meters our water. After years of this we could finally break the contract.

  My water bill usage was something like $15/mo and they had an admin fee of $13/mo. In a building of like 150 apartments, those guys were raking in like $2k a month from us for keeping their automated shit plugged in.

  The managers said they would just stop metering and our monthly fees would pay the bill. After a year, they would adjust our monthly rates to balance it out.

  They never had to balance it out - that’s how little the overall water usage cost was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don’t know what to do with this coworker.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nursing is a little different from most kinds of work environments, but not that different.

  I think there’s 2 halves to unpack here. One is her ability and the other is her attitude. If someone is getting along in their career and has trouble hustling around on their feet for 8 or 12 hours, I get it. They can move slower or take longer sitting breaks when there’s no patient in dire need. That’s why people work on teams.

  But then there’s the attitude part. Are other nurses dealing with her patients on the regular? Is she ignoring call bells? Is she never making any effort to help a fellow nurse when they’re swamped? Then we have a problem.

  Like you said, you’re new and it’s not the time to go in guns blazing. Your reputation doesn’t mean shit for a while now, but I don’t think that means you should just suck it up and do your job in spite of it.

  I would mention it casually to your manager. Not as a complaint (see: your reputation doesn’t mean shit), but as a casual concern. “I didn’t want to say anything to X, but I’ve been noticing since I started that she seems to really struggle to deal with her patient load.” Whether you try to frame that along with “how can I help?” or something else is up to you.

  The main thing you want to take away is:

  • your manager has been informed by you that you’ve seen a problem with this nurse
  • you documented the conversation if it was in person
  • you’re keeping notes on your coworker when something unacceptable happens.

  These sorts of dramas play out slowly. The best thing you can do is collect information you can refer back to later in case things take a twist.

  I can’t tell you how many times in my life an employee has become “a problem” in management’s eyes, but we’re starting at 0 because nobody ever complained or documented any of the issues that were going on for YEARS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I use winrar to compress 80gb of tv and movies. Then can I compress it further by making it an iso?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The short answer is no.

  You can do an easy experiment to see this using image files. Grab a random JPG file and open it in a graphics program and save it as a BMP format image.

  JPG is already compressed, and BMP is absolutely not compressed. Then try compressing each image. You’ll find that the JPG doesn’t get much smaller, or might even be a bit bigger when compressed. Now do the same with the BMP - that one makes for a smaller RAR!

  The main issue here is that compression is about removing empty space in a file (it’s a weak analogy but bear with me). If the file itself already had some kind of compression (basically every AVI or MP4 or MKV you download probably is already compressed), then there’s already a lot less empty space inside the file. RAR doesn’t have much empty space left to work with, so it can’t really reduce the file size any more.

  It’s worth doing some testing on a single movie to see how this all works. You’ll probably find that it’s best to just leave the files exactly the way they are. No RAR. No ISO. No tricks. The gains simply aren’t there.

  If you’re looking to save on some disk space with your movies, you’d get a lot farther by just deleting one movie you don’t really want that badly. The amount of space you get back from that will exceed your compression gains. It also means you don’t have to go and uncompressed the movies every time you want to watch one.
