- Comment on Are illegal streaming sites really getting shut down a lot lately or has it always been like this? 4 days ago:
There’s always churn and turnover, I’ve been part of communities that lost up to 3 of the top 5 sites for something etc. and the community bounces back in a couple of months. Streaming sites aren’t horrifically difficult to set up so they will often reappear shortly with similar interface.

I was gonna say this was some high-quality bullshit but after this year I just assume RFK Jr. was involved somehow.

Dude needed to get his wildlife handler paperwork or shut the fuck up. He called he was getting it repeatedly and there’s evidence he did fuck all.
He got his animals killed by failing to adhere to the basic laws he already knew about. It wasn’t a surprise.
- Comment on Ghost jobs are wreaking havoc on tech workers 2 weeks ago:
As someone on the other side of this in just one private company of thousands:
I put out 2-3 job ads a month. Of those 1 will get past interviews to a negotiation phase, one will get stuck with a hiring manager who only wants to interview the perfect candidate, and one will be pulled for budget reasons and held to try again next month because the candidate for the first job asked for a little bit more money. We hire about half of the people who make it to negotiations.
My feeling is it’s that no one has any money to spend. Every company I can think of is desperately waiting to get paid so they can pay their own bills. Most contracts with the government were horribly delayed by the shutdowns last year and it’s been knock-on effects ever since.

- Comment on Trickle down 3 weeks ago:
I was taking control of a big department in a non-profit where funds were tight but I had a lot of flexibility so I read a book about how to reward employees instead of money. I was hoping for non-tangible rewards like first pick of schedule or Employee of the Month type stuff.
Every single suggestion in the book was something that needed money to be spent first but not given to the employee. It had a whole chapter about how giving cash was rude and terrible and your employees would hate you for it so you had to give gift cards or worthless garbage to give them instead.
This was nonsense advice. Nothing motivates like cash. In the end I just taped my own $20 bills to the back of the ‘Certificates of Achievement’ I have for good work and warned them it was a personal gift and not from the org.

I don’t think most gen alphas are tall enough to use a post driver effectively. I’ve got early model alphas and they are barely 5’4".

Congratulations! That looks like a Hubley cast iron cat doorstop. I had one as a kid and they are all over eBay.

That’s why balloons! You can have sick blimps on Venus and IIRC you can capture atmospheric gasses to burn as fuel for them and to create water too.

Not at the time this happened. Aaron’s case was one of the motivating factors that led to the Open Access publication movement gaining enough traction that authors could publish that way. JSTOR access is paid for and administered on college campuses by libraries and librarians as a whole field felt terrible both about the paid publication system and the way Aaron was treated. As a community of professionals, the Librarian and Information Science community pushed very hard for the adoption of Open Access publishing into the Academic community.

I was at a party with a bunch of friends getting pumped of a night of partying and the news stopped the party completely. Killed the vibe and we had a quiet night in. It was erie how it affected people.

Calling it Lemonade might prove to be a problem because there’s an understood meaning for the word lemonade that doesn’t involve caffeine. They could have marketed it as lemon-flavored but calling it lemonade and putting it next to the regular lemonade could be construed as them trying to hide the caffeine content from consumers.
- Comment on When a place is called " Heights", what does "heights" mean/refer to? 11 months ago:
High street is an alternative term for Market and used in towns where Market Street is not used. None of them are really the highest street in town, at least not in the US East Coast. The actual elevated places are usually called -view.
- Comment on I don't know, I haven't played the game yet. 11 months ago:
A lot like Vampire Survivor, the hook is that it starts pretty simple and it ramps the difficulty every minute that passes but you’re constantly able to buy more items with powerful effects. By 15 minutes in it’s a starting to be overwhelming and by 30 minutes in you are doing a LOT of clicking and there’s countless hordes of enemies but because of the particular combination of items you’ve picked up, you’re still alive and every shot causes a chain reaction of other effects. Or you get a combination of items that doesn’t mesh terribly well and something gets a lucky shot in and you’re dead at minute 22 with no warning.
Also the items are mysterious and you’re always finding totally new ones you’ve never seen before and their powers are wildly different. The story of the game is more told in the item descriptions you can only read in the loading menu than any other single place. I’ve played 1000s of hours and still refer to the wiki before trying to tell the “story” of the game.
The intricate level designs, complex item interactions, and the rocking soundtrack are also worth mentioning because they are substantially above average for a game of this type.

I’ve had IKEA Family for many years and honestly had NO IDEA it offered a discount on purchases. I’m not sure if they just didn’t advertise this very well at the start or it hasn’t been offered for very long.
We’ve been using it for free coffee, wifi in the store and savings on deliveries. 5% is not much of a discount but it’s adds up.
For those of you who don’t know, this wasn’t a paid membership. I think we entered our email at a store kiosk at they either gave or mailed us a orange card.
