Yeah. There’s always a chance that a customer could have an issue on a weekend and then I’ve gotta fix it. Once I was on 27 hours of conference calls over a weekend. But as I’ve gotten better at my job those sorts of things happen less and less.

Honestly the worst part of my job is doing my timesheets and updating weekly status, but when the weather’s good I do that from my hammock with a cold beer in hand which makes it suck less.

I’m salaried so I don’t have a lunch break. I work from home so I basically set my own hours as long as I can be contacted from about 10am to 3pm and go to any meetings I have scheduled.

Which was when Slashdot was like BBS before the Eternal September

I’m less concerned with them being effective and more concerned they’ll fuck up and kick off Kessler Syndrome

We can’t have pop-up headlights because of pedestrian safety, but you can buy a 5,000 pound vehicle that does 0-60 in three seconds and has a hood level with most people’s heads because that’s totally safe for pedestrians.

I’ve been to three local grocery chains and all of them have frozen turkey breast, but no turkeys.

I mean, it’s nearly June so I understand why, but I have a hankering for turkey and need to go to an actual butcher shop.

Turkeys

Just write a bash script to loop over them.

Nation-states were a stupid idea to begin with

I think it has more to do with maintaining a manufacturing base for defense than it is about jobs or the economy.

I was a teenager who wanted to be a 1337 haxxor so I found out what warez were, and then wanted to play a bunch of games for free.

The Kinks are better than The Beatles

If Lemmy ever becomes as popular as Reddit, the same thing will happen.

The Eternal September claims every social network eventually

I think the biggest thing in gaming in the next few years will be Godot giving indie devs the ability to cheaply create games without needing to license an engine.

They’re boosting their sign up numbers by putting porn behind it. I bet it’s not even that racy, they just know that humans are motivated by something potentially titillating

I think the reason they’re useful for writing code is that there’s a third party - the parser or compiler - that checks their work. I’ve used LLMs to write code as well, and it didn’t always get me something that worked but I was easily able to catch the error.

There are a few stations near me that have E85, “88 octane” (which is just 12% ethanol), diesel, and three grades of gasoline. Since you can’t mix those other fuels with gas the pump has four hoses and you still have to select the grade of gas.

True, but my car needs 92 octane

I didn’t know this before and it adds credence to my feeling that it’s better to let my tank get below 1/4 full before filling it up, rather than continually topping it up.
