Posting pragmatic advice of “don’t burn bridges” on a post advocating for committing career-ending crimes against your former employer is somehow anti-union? Da fuq?

They might not have been able to do that because of the aircon vent on top, or potentially if they’re concerned about height restrictions

I got laid off almost 2 years ago. I now work for the same company again working fewer hours at much higher pay. Layoffs aren’t necessarily the end, and they can very much be the start of renegotiating your position

My wife’s going through the same thing right now. Lemme tell you, having your partner literally cry in pain from penetration and lose literally all libido because of the consistent pain ain’t worth the slightly tighter experience

The crisis is that the triple-A industry is starting to feel consumers loss of interest in them as indie devs continue to outshine them with every release

The Internet is and has always been a lie spreading machine. Both on and off social media.
Your analogy of peeing in the pool is entirely off base. If these were false scientific papers posted to real established scientific journals that would certainly be unacceptable behavior but that’s not what is being discussed here

It’s more a case of when you go to the piss spraying machine you can get mad if you get a little piss on you. Everyone seems to have forgotten that the internet is where people go to tell lies for fun

I worked for a phone manufacturer for a while and got to see firsthand the wild BS that happens with carriers. Primarily how the carrier-branded SKUs consistently provided a much sloppier experience than unlocked. Verizon was pretty bad about it, but Boost Mobile was the absolute worst, loading apps so sketchy that every once in a while Android’s own malicious app removal mechanisms would remove them. One time they preloaded an app that actually caused certain system functionality to not work correctly and we had to start advising people to disable that particular app.
I laughed so hard when the Sprint/T-Mobile merger happened and Boost was propped up to supposedly become national carrier. Looks like they were allowed to fail at that and sell off their radio spectrum and are back to being a MVNO

Yeah this is generally a carrier thing and why people should be buying manufacturer unlocked phones and not directly from the carriers

Micron only killed their consumer memory division, they’re still making memory for b2b customers, so they can still affect and be affected by market forces when it comes to memory pricing

Might I suggest model railroading? Plenty of expenses to sink money into plus you can make almost everything yourself or buy used stuff from the 80s to save money if you wish too. It can be very time consuming if you want it to be too!
Also you mentioned reading and hiking, both are brilliant hobbies. I fell in love with biking by accident and just rode 7 miles today! Only problem is if you go hard enough into biking you’ll sleep too hard to read before bed!

I’ve got a specific savings account for computer upgrades so I can choose to upgrade whenever it gets enough money collected into it. Only problem is, I don’t want to upgrade that often!

The Chevy Cruze I had until it ate a deer wasn’t quite that bad, but now that I think about it it was way worse than my Kia. purchased at ~50k miles, it ate a deer at ~110k miles. Notable breakages are the drivers side window become impossible to roll up/down 3x (fixed twice. Literally relies on a single bolt which holds the window glass in place entirely by friction) at ~80k miles the plastic coupler on the engine coolant line cracked. around 100k miles the plastic intake hose also cracked causing the engine to produce a partial vaccum when it shouldn’t and run super rough.
My in-laws have been having a similar experience with their brand new Ford Edge (last model year car so best it’ll be, right?). First 6 months they had it it spent more time at the dealership than in their possession…
My Kia is currently approaching 100k miles (acquired at 7k miles!) and in that ~90k miles we’ve put on it…I’ve had to replace the windshield 3 times and once I needed to clear the clogged AC water drip but nothing has broken that wasn’t a wear item or otherwise to be expected. Oh and the interior actually feels like it was designed and tested by people who have driven cars before, unlike the Chevy. This is also 10k miles after it was totalled by a hail storm so its really a trooper!
Unless something changes I’m never buying another car from an American brand because they’re clearly all shit

What are you doing to be struggling with 32GB of RAM? Like my home server is definitely RAM limited right now with 32GB but that’s a server not a PC

there is absolutely zero reason for them to go back to $75/32GB DDR5 kits.
There’s enough memory manufacturers that as long as the cartel was successfully busted when I forget which government took action against them last year, that they should start competing on price again as soon as demand re-normalizes

Paper books are a carbon sink though. The carbon that is held in that paper is held there for as long as the book exists for until it’s either burned or composted at which point that possibly decades old carbon gets released into the atmosphere.
Wood and wood products, if sustainably harvested and grown can be really good for the carbon budget because trees pull far more carbon in from the atmosphere while growing than they do once they’re fully grown. Meanwhile computers have a comparably short lifetime and require regular hardware replacements to continue operating which consumes far more materials and expends far more carbon than books, plus computers require energy to operate which also has a carbon cost, meanwhile books have a one-time carbon cost of their production and never again

I have a similar mentality, but I do have some that are particularly memorable that I like to return to, like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy for example. I also have certain books which are less for reading, like the Onion’s our dumb century or I have some railroad and travel books that have tons of cool pictures, but once I’ve read a book (especially fiction) if I dont forsee rereading it I’ll pass it along to someone or donate it to free up more space on my shelf for future books. And then my e-reader has a subset of my ebook library on it, with a mix of both re-reads and to-be-reads because that 32GB of storage will easily hold thousands of ebooks so there’s no stress to perfectly curate what I’m carrying with me on it

I still love how a movie about hackers completely made up what they thought hacker culture might look like, but instead of laughing off a bad Hollywood film hacker culture embraced this invented asthetic and hasn’t really let go since
I recently watched that film for the first time and holy shit that movie has aged like fine wine and makes me nostalgic for a bygone subculture that never really existed in the first place

Well you see, permits can be rejected, and the time spent getting a permit is time spent not making money, so by requesting a permit after they dump them in a city and get people hooked on the idea they can make money during that time and build a customer base to advocate for them. Because governments would never apply regulations to misbehaving businesses! What do you think this is, China?
Seriously though, the success of these scooter and bike share services just goes to show the innate demand for better public transit that our cities aren’t meeting, and by partnering with these micromobility companies they’re basically giving up on actually providing for their citizens needs
