Anything that doesn’t require high tech still works really well. Don’t need to worry about tracking software that tries to sell you something with say a horse or two. And as a bonus you get lots of physical activity as well which is healthy.

If you are only ashamed of your actions after you were caught, you are not ashamed of your actions. Grade A trashy behaviour that has no place in the world.

Real scenario: you wouldn’t see that happen.

Hypothetically it could cause economic collapse because now there wouldn’t be money to back up all the loans that are outstanding. Followed by mass layoffs of people and all the other fun stuff that comes with it.

All of this is IMHO so keep that in mind.

Politically it’s pretty extremist from what I can tell. Not just that but support for that extreme political stance is also rather high. Neithe of which is a good thing in my book. Other news I get to know about also tend to paint a pretty grim picture when it comes to human rights, rich/ poor divide and acceptance of people who have different preferences. I also mostly remember having met people how you described in the opening.

To say how it is, my opinion is not exactly good. Primarily because of how they act a d their political choices. Though I chalk some of that up to a lack of education. And it’s also not so bad that I’d rather not deal with them. Just that I have a healthy dose of " oh no, not one of those guys again. This will get exhausting, isn’t it" whenever I see someone that fits the description.

You know, you do you in Humor communities. I personally don’t expect to find the most serious of comments under posts in those.

Anyhow…Naturally there is a good argument to be made about making good comments. And that it may be a good idea to not comment things that are probably obvious. Just so that the file is a shorter read.

Not to mention the fact that it’s programmer Humor. Not programming advice. which means that there are usually less serious comments to be found that may or may not be good advice. But I suppose some people have no sense of humour.

There is usually no such thing as too many comments. There is a point to keep them to the point though

Apparently management positions. The amount of people in such positions that are full of themselves and are hitting terribad descicions at the same time, all the time, never to improve on that. Is terribly high.

Yeah sure, let’s not involve the construction department of the company with that big move you are “planning” for half a year now. Also only realize you need tons of work done before you can even start that move a month ahead of the due date. Then do a terrible job of getting that sorted. And only have the most basic of time plans for the actual move ready a couple days before they are supposed to happen. Make that time window awfully short because you also need those machines to produce again because you failed to plan extra production to create a buffer for intermediate products. Then go ahead and slash that awfully short time plan on the first day because surprise, surprise… You don’t have a buffer of intermediate products and you really need those machines up and running again so that you can push actual finished products out the door. Also hope for the best which is that the machines just start up and run again… Yes as if that ever worked with complicated machines that are also old now and could just fail completely just from getting moved.

Grade A plan…

All those dang tiny time wasters that happen every day. Needing to eat and drink… That kind of stuff. Can’t stop because I obviously enjoy being healthy.

Basically… A lot! Just to have what effectively amounts to a painkiller. Now don’t get me wrong, those are great but you know what’s better? Solving the issue that causes you pain to begin with.

Also not an expert in that field even if I am an electrician. As far as I know a heat pump is really just a way to say A/C unit that can also run in reverse. If everything is set up correctly it should probably just work and not need a service or “tune up” for a long time. It may just be that whoever installed the one you are using now wants to ensure that it’s working correctly and as it should. Or… They may be trying to find something to upsell.

There is no consent in “you have to agree”

Microsoft Corporation is confused. It hurt itself in confusion.

It’s tricky to quantify education globally when there are different school systems that can’t be compared against each other. For example because there is no direct comparison that could be made against say… A college.

What is generally universal is university degrees but even those can vary wildly in quality. The same goes for having learned a job. Hell some countries don’t even accept university degrees from other countries because they don’t meet the local standards.

The thing about years or time spent in education is that people can spend additional years in education if they fail a class. And nine years of education may just be as good as someone who had ten years but failed in one year. It also doesn’t account for other differences like people that spent additional time in one year for additional education.

Anyhow, there is no simple way to quantify education. If you look at the percentage of people who graduated you may get a better idea but then you still need to differentiate between education systems and how many people in a given country actually got a given graduation. Even then it doesn’t tell you anything about how good the education actually is because education can be manipulated.

Years of time spent in school ≠ education level.

You can spend lots of time there and still be dumb as a rock that learned many things but didn’t understand any of them. On the contrary you can have people that got the short end of the stick and got cut off from further time in education that are really smart.

Every time I unintentionally find it. Mostly for being annoyed at it even being a feature.

I don’t own either current gen consoles. But I do have a rather up to date PC. I don’t have any current gen consoles when I owned some before (360, PS4) because I don’t like how they handle those consoles. I don’t run windows anymore because I disagree that MY PC that I built is somehow Microsoft’s property if I use their software. I used to be a Halo fan but ever since Halo 4 the series has been rather… Mediocre and I just don’t have time for sub par experiences. In fact I have not touched any AAA titles in so long because they have all been overly save and boring.

I don’t hate every big company making games,in fact I miss the old Ubisoft from the early 2000s or valve or blizzard (save of a few things) or…

Either way, the market isn’t infinite and at some point keeping the existing player base is probably a good idea. So is not pissing of customers with practices that are predatory. Ultimately wild uncontrolled growth is also known as cancer.

Iirc I did that for roughly a year and then proton hit. It was a bit of a different experience for sure but even at that time it was not all that bad. coincidentally that time also taught me a lot on how to troubleshoot stuff so I suppose it had it’s benefits despite the added hassle that it was sometimes.

It’s also completely unnecessary since there are better devices for tracking and shenanigans available. Why bother with a shaver that has neither a camera or a microphone or is tracking location for anything when you can use a device that has all of that. Like pretty much every modern phone on the market, more so smartphones.

Regarding that other thing… In practice it could be that you are staying in a hotel room for any reason really but you forgot your power brick, still need to shave, but have a PC for one reason or another and a spare cable to use. However unlikely that is, but it’s not unheard of to forget the phone charger when going on a trip.

I mean… If it has a USB socket and I can plug it into my PC… Surely it was intended for that. After all the USB ports on a PC are just as capable of delivering power.

Sure may be an unusual solution to charge a shaver but you could do that.
