Yeah, I’ve noticed it this week I think. It’s a bummer, on the one hand I understand that you need to pay the bills, on the other I’m not interested in ads. Maybe I should see how much a subscription is, because I’m not sure how they can generate enough revenue with ads with their target audience. But something that used to be free to just read tech articles suddenly becoming subscription only does feel a bit weird.

It’s a Thinkpad thing. I always use Linux and don’t map them to anything so I don’t really find them useful but maybe they are in windows.

Exactly, there are filters for tap water and there are backpacking or survival filters for filtering dirty water. I use both regularly, but wouldn’t ever take my filter pitcher hiking.

I’ve been playing since August and it’s a great game. It helps keep me exercising too, sometimes you just gotta go for a walk to chop some logs or something.

- Comment on ZeniMax workers union votes to authorize a strike against Microsoft over stalled contract negotiations 4 months ago:
I’m going to assume that this is the death of Zenimax in reality. Microsoft doesn’t do unions, and they will push all the union workers to their breaking point just to prove a point. Elder scrolls fans should boycott Microsoft but it won’t make a dent TBH.

- Comment on Ever wonder how the term "pink slip" came about? This is how you were fired. A pink slip on your desk. 4 months ago:
Good observation, I haven’t seen more than a 5 part form but it might be possible, I have seen 5 part carbon copies though.

It was pink because it was part of a carbon copy form. You write on the top sheet of paper and then you get 3 copies of what you wrote, one for the employee and 2 for other records. Carbon copy paper was very popular before you could just print 3 copies of something.

The hair helps to keep things dry, instead of letting the sweat build up in the area. Almost the opposite of a lubricant, but I would agree with the idea. I almost never do a smooth shave, but I will trim it.

- Comment on Screwed yet again by past me 5 months ago:
I think everyone has a sort of ‘social battery’ and I think extroverts just have a bit more capacity than introverts. It’s easy for both to run out, and want some alone time, but it takes less time for some of us.

And that’s why I don’t preorder games anymore. I’m sure they will fix it, eventually, but it sucks for people who want to play it this weekend.

yeah… we’re going to need you to come in on Saturday this week Algo. Somebody has to redo the phone rack this weekend and we took a vote on it and decided you are the only one who can handle it. Good luck ;)

Nah GTFO of here with that. I’ll follow my bosses lead, and wink. Context is everything of course, but if your workplace is so toxic that a winking emoticon sets off drama then I really feel sorry for you.

In my experience the only ones that don’t look weird in a work email are:
:) :( ;)
Anything else is going to be seen as weird and superfluous. ^u^ :3 would be a hard no for myself, and I know it would get me weird attention that I wouldn’t want.
This very much depends on your industry, workplace, and coworkers.

Either your cables are made with the absolute worst insulation I have ever heard of, or your environment is doing something to the cable. I have done networking in 200 year old building with CAT3 from the 1990s that still works today. I installed a CAT6 cable in my parents house in 2003 that still works.
If I ever had a cable in a wall just go bad I would put that cable vendor on the blacklist immediately. Is it possible that the cables are being damaged during installation?
I agree that wifi is a great fallback option, but what happens when the cable running to the AP deteriorates?
