- Comment on ZeniMax workers union votes to authorize a strike against Microsoft over stalled contract negotiations 1 day 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.

The Kia’s that where easy to steal used cheap keys though, the push to start Kia’s where not being stolen.
- Comment on Ever wonder how the term "pink slip" came about? This is how you were fired. A pink slip on your desk. 1 week 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.
- Comment on Ever wonder how the term "pink slip" came about? This is how you were fired. A pink slip on your desk. 1 week ago:
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.

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?

Many people find Ethernet confusing.
CAT6 and CAT5e are very similar, but standard CAT5 can not do above 100mbps duplex. 5e can, but isn’t tested for 1000mbps duplex, whereas CAT6 is designed specifically for that speed. CAT6 doesn’t actually need to have shielding to be CAT6 but in the early days it was a common way to meet the standards. The biggest difference is actually the connectors. You need CAT6 RJ45 to make a CAT6 cable. 5e cable with a 6 connector works better than CAT6 cable with a CAT5 RJ45 in my own testing. CAT5 connectors have pins that all line up straight across, CAT6 has staggered pins. This staggering helps prevent crosstalk between the wires.CAT8 is the current newest standard, and I am not brushed up on the standards specs yet. CAT7 was never made official, manufacturers made it ahead of time and it might be a little better than 6 but it almost never meets 8 standards, and is about the same price.

As somebody who does networking for a jerb, you are getting ripped off if you are paying $20 USD for a CAT6 wall plate. What you want to get is punch down keystones and a keystone wall plate, at least half the price. Maybe that’s what they cost at the hardware store though, I haven’t ever had to buy one from there. I order all mine.

This is important IMO. This is not the applicant’s wording. This is how the HR drone perceived these questions, not direct quotes. We actually have no idea what the applicant asked, but we do know that this person is a clown.

- Comment on Let's discuss: Nintendo DS 6 months ago:
My hands are pretty medium sized, and I think it’s the most comfortable portable device I have ever had in my hands. It is however a bit heavy. It’s also not a pocket device like the Gameboy was, although most DS are not very pocketable either.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Nintendo DS 6 months ago:
I also think that the marketing failed hard. I don’t remember seeing any ads for the game, and the marketing in Japan made it seem like a bait and switch for Mother 3. It also released pretty close to the Japanese mother 3 release as well.

I was going to mention Contact being a unique game, glad I’m not the only one who remembers it fondly. The reviews upon release where not great but I thought it was a pretty good game.

This is one of the only things I can find talking about it, but I’m sure I used Google maps with GPS on SymbianOS.
- Comment on Anon uses a phone book 6 months ago:
I had Google maps on my Nokia SymbianOS phone before the iPhone was released. It worked just as well as modern version but was I little clunkier to use without a touchscreen. I’m pretty sure that Palm Treos had it as well. There where also some other options, I kinda remember Garmin selling map packs for Palm devices. Smartphones existed before android and iPhone, even if they weren’t as widespread they were catching on with the broader consumer before the iPhone was released. You saw more more people getting blackberries for personal use instead of just business.

I agree with everything you said, only that I’m not quite sure what DMA is.
I want more indie games on my phone because the major mobile app developers are beyond trash at this point. I love indie devs, I love FOSS and indie games. I prefer programming that lends itself to democratizing the web and my devices.
Your game is a breath of freedom right now in the mobile marketplace. I made it in on the free invite system, but the fact that you are on the fediverse talking to me, coupled with the fact that your game and end goal seam awesome, I’m going to figure out how to become a donating member as soon as I get home.
I’m out on a night walk right now with my walkscape app open, while typing this reply. Amazing times.

I signed up after seeing your last post. I made it into the last wave of invites and have been playing since last week. This game is really cool and I don’t think there is anything else like it.

I’m honestly not sure. You could try doxing the lower ranks, they need jobs and employers don’t usually love Nazis.
