Oh but that is a feature!
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 5 days ago:
Other minor inconveniences may include:
- AI spyware on systems (a very real issue with corporate and government machines)
- Legacy software not working in the new OS
- A drastic decrease in OS productivity
- Damage to hardware (potential as reported)

Yeah, It was a very damaging shot even still. Just seems off that the guy would get shot in the neck, somehow wrong that it was not in the head. But I think this is just my brain being weird about things.

This is what the first img that popped up when I searched “charlie kirk meme”
- Comment on Aged like milk 1 week ago:
Is it odd that I am kinda stuck on the fact he was not shot in the head? Like all those years of people making his head huge and face small when they missed out on the guys neck.
- Comment on DDR4 costs soar as manufacturers pull the plug — panic buying and stockpiling impact DDR4 spot pricing as supply dwindles 1 week ago:
Ha! its almost as if we have hit a point where the new stuff is not as good as the old. DD4 is really good, but now we will be forced into DD5 and all the shit CPU and boards that come with it.

Not for a family, not around here. The part that gets to me is that it is enticing, that many would take this over other prizes (well not cash over $1000, as you can use that for food).
- Comment on Things are going so well.... 1 week ago:
They used to do trips, cash and fabulous prizes (but yes still an advertising deal).
My main take away was that this is appealing more then a trip to people now (myself included) and that is kinda bleak.

… About the same actually both are attached to the bottom on the vehicle. Granted the battery pack is heavier and comes with the spiciest of sparks. But they are taking copper from live buildings, not sure they will pass up cars.

Lots of copper and batteries though.

IT as in information technology is a stupid broad category, and the only people who say otherwise are just trying to not be painted as in IT.
Network engineer, IT. Software Dev, IT. Program manager for that big roll out, still IT. Call center meat in a seat, IT.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
Computer science is not IT.
ooof got some bad news for you there.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
Oddly a very common occurrence. It was normally one or a combo of 3 impossible things:
- Experience needed with a thing that has not existed for the time asked for (like your example)
- Experience needed with a thing that does not exist at all (typos or just full on bullshit like “5 years in QQR8F deployment”)
- Or my favourite, Experience needed in a tool/program that is only used by the company like our proprietary call management software.

Also have to point out in my case it is very much legal. I am no different then someone with a liquor store (well maybe my stuff is potentially less harmful).
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
Computer Systems Tech with honours and a Computer Sci advanced degree with honours.
I would have been better off just working, my 3 years in school (including being on the board of governors and student union) was a waste of time and money. Not saying school is always a bad choice but watching people who drop out of high school make double your income from working in retail (since oddly there is potential upwards movement) once you do get a job in the industry feels bad. Then continues to feel bad when you bust your ass off for no advancement or additional pay while those same people are now working less then 4 hours a day in a middle management position. Then it gets downright frustrating when you have been in the industry for over a decade and shopped around to find out all the companies are shit and when you realize you have made a poor choice in career those same drop outs are entering into lower executive roles while being paid to take college courses (I have 3 examples of this sadly) and telling you that you should “go to school and get an education”.
And to see the money being made in oil and gas… or some of the trades?! Urgh, I should have just started my own buisness instead of going to school. I had the same skills before and after I graduated anyway.

- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
If you talk to people who went to different schools you quickly realize that its all different. I spent a lot of time learning antenna theory, Cisco networking and really out of date system admin, while on the other side of the nation my future co workers where learning soldering, cable terminology and text based HTML.
I was on the college board of governors and the thing I learned is that no one knows what computer science even is. Sad part is that it was the same for a lot of the subjects taught.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
HA, not at that sort of place. Unions where never even allowed to be talked about, they instafired anyone that even hinted, illegal or not they did not let that happen.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
Hey, its a new legal industry. And selling drugs lets me sleep much better at night compared to having to pretend whatever new bullshit they are pushing is not terrible.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
Urgh, yeah it is just so bad. Most places don’t even have a possible job above yours to even potentially move to. Where I was they literally sold us to a competitor (then unsold me as they forgot about a few contracts) and then just removed all the positions above us or related to our department. I lost 3 layers of bosses one day (not that anyone noticed much). And then expect people to just happily go on and on and on.
The fact they could not hire anyone (I was the “new” guy for 10 years on my team) was down to really shitty hiring practices, that automated the requirements in such a way that the only people who could get an interview would have had to lie on their applications. They where desperately trying to say they wanted to hire more people but no one was “qualified”, meanwhile they froze pay for years (really showing that dood that was there for years how much they care).

cheapest I have in store is $20, the fanciest is $40. All in CAD of course.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
As a Computer science graduate, I have to say:
No shit! The industry is terrible and has no standards (I don’t mean level of quality but there is no agreed accreditation or methodology). If you do end up in a job you will most likely not use even 5% of what whatever school you went to taught you. You will likely work for peanuts as there will always be someone to do it cheaper (not always right, or good, or even usable). You will work with people doing your job that just lied about having any post secondary education. There is almost no ability to move up in any position in the industry, and like everyone I know that stuck with it you will have the same job until you stop working (you will have to take a side move into another department most likely). This is also the industry most likely to get touched by the “good idea fairy” so you will also be exposed to the highest levels of stupid, like 3 layers of outsourcing the NOC to an active warzone sort of stupid.
I should have known it was a bad idea in college when most of my classmates where ACTIVELY WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY TO PAY FOR SCHOOL so they could get a piece of paper that said they could do the thing they where already doing. But I did my 15 plus years and got out, I have my own business now selling drugs and it is way less sketchy.
