I’ve never thought about it, but if I do think about it, it does make me a little uncomfortable. I think it may stem from have the focus brought squarely on me, or when I say someone else’s name, I’m putting them in the spotlight.

It may be similar, but I struggle hard with eye contact. Always have since I was a young child. I can pull it off well enough in professional settings, but otherwise I can’t stare at people’s eyes.

I’m fortunate to have an effective scrum master. She knows the products will enough to properly interface with our different stage holders. The amount of shit that doesn’t make it to us because she’s essentially our firewall to the customers, is astounding.

That said, there are plenty of other business decisions being made that are rapidly leading to a team wide brain drain. The top brass is so out of touch with reality, and they make major decisions on that ignorance without consulting anyone that knows anything. It’s also turned into a boys club at the top, so there’s no individual accountability, just yes men.

Your right, but I can imagine what it would be like, and that’s something.

They don’t want every website to do it though.

You asked if it is, and the response was “yes”.

Go to a hardware store and in the fasters aisle they will almost for sure have a spot with different bolts to test thread size. Just clean it first to not get resin on everything.

Worth every penny.

Sure, for basic projects if you don’t value security or efficiency.

It depends on the meds. We were doing a synthesized injection drug for my dog’s elbow dysplasia and arthritis, and that was a custom, specialized, expensive drug. The alternative to carprofen and gabapentin were cheap though. I think we got them and his allergy meds from Costco. Most expensive dog we ever had.

I asked what they have tried, I didn’t say they have to switch. I was providing some information that perhaps they didn’t have. You don’t have to be a righteous butthole about it.

You have to boot without network access then do the terminal command.

What distro of Linux did you use that was so difficult? Something like Mint is very entry level and intuitive. You don’t have to run any terminal commands if you don’t want to, and the out of box configuration is good enough that you don’t have to modify anything for a stable, up to date system.

I too owned a 1987 Caprice Classic. It was my first car but it was already probably 15 years old when I got it. Not sure if they offered it with different engine options, but it was indeed a tank. We called it the boat.

E: I just looked back, and I had a 1990 Caprice Classic, not the 87. Still, a tank.

You seriously just jumped from parenting to rape in the same thought. Dude, you should talk to a professional.

Read the room.

It’s not about your system. It’s about every system connecting to the Internet. It’s not local age verification, it’s widespread monitoring by the government.

Router QoS. Set the router to prioritize your traffic based on IP. What are they doing that’s consuming the bandwidth? The only times it’s been an issue in our house has been when I’ve switched media with no speed restrictions. Past large and fast downloads, if you have high speed internet, the pipe shouldn’t be congested. Otherwise, be confrontational then escalate if behaviors don’t change.

I’m curious how this works in action. If you use a VPN provider that doesn’t do logging, and inherently you’re traffic is encrypted via that VPN, what are they spying on? That’s kind of the whole purpose of running a VPN in the first place.

If they happen to somehow see the unencrypted traffic, I hope they enjoy sifting through ass loads of torrent data. Good luck, shit bags.

It was like that when I got here. Also that crunching noise you heard and sparks you saw were a typical poop for me.

AI is the most rushed to market product I think I’ve ever seen in my life. It makes Cyberpunk’s release like like a polished gem in comparison. Yes, things evolve over their life cycle for better or worse, but none of this other things have been so ingrained in everything, cost even a fraction of LLMs, both monetarily and environmentally, it sucked as hard.

AI is a different monster. A shitty shitty monster.

I remember reading that. My brother is in the AF, and through some system, they can get gear like Garmin Fenix watches that does GPS tracking and uploads to their cloud and can be synced with Strava. It’s wild that stuff like this isn’t strictly monitored to prevent this exact scenario.
