• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking simpler. Just give the decision power to managers, but allow them to use it to reward/celebrate their employees.

  I’ve had two credit cards for work in my career. On one I bought a book (one single book). On the other one I bought . . . nothing - not one single thing. But I was required to get it because I once paid for required training on my own card then put in for reimbursement (as I was told to do). Corporate went nuts because I didn’t do it their way - use the company card I didn’t have at the time.

  Had one manager once who traded food with Little Caesers and we all had pizza that night, it was awesome.

  Give the manager an “esprit de corps” account to charge the “loss” to. That way they can track the costs and decide if it’s worth it.

  Believe they can also get a tax write off for part of the cost.

  Like this: spiritual advisory pastor to serve only 6 months after molesting a 12-year-old for years

  Morris’s attorney said the molestation was her fault because she was “flirtatious.”

  Wouldn’t doubt it’s just an enshittified frontend to Google Maps.

  I see no reason to be insulting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kitten Mittens⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, yes they do; and they aren’t even giant ones like this one is.

  I call them our “Pygmy racing elefants.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some apartments have natural gas including with the price of rent.

  Best fucking idea ever!

  If you ever get free gas too, I have an idea for a wind turbine.

  All the ones I’ve been in have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows drive letters are not limited to A-Z⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Drive Letters are also for removable media (floppy disks, CD/DVD drives, others [magneto-optical drives, etc), not to mention network drives. Not just Fixed Disks (hard drives).

  It’s just an easy way to specify one disk from another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My landlord partnered with a financing company - I can pay $15/month for the luxury of making weekly payments on my rent⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your landlord is a fool! They should have raised the rent by that same amount and then offered you a $10 a month discount to pay it all at once.

  Rookie doesn’t know how to play a numbers/scam game. /s

  In truth, sorry you are only being given such a scummy “option”. The simple math shows that the more often you pay (i e. the earlier the recipient gets your money) the more they make in the long run. They should just do that and be decent about the whole thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Widespread Cloudflare outage blamed on mysterious traffic spike⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but just one “unusual spike in traffic” - so it seems. /s

  I see what you did there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequences⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  NASA has been doing the sterilization I listed above for decades now; it’s not new.

  Can you give some examples (preferably with references) of where NASA (or ESA, etc) have avoided areas due to fear of contamination?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequences⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why this is done: https://www.nasa.gov/ames/space-biosciences/planetary-protection/

  I realize you were probably talking about visiting other worlds in person, but we would probably still have unmanned missions there first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God ****** dammit, here we go again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t mean to offend you (or anyone else).

  I work in IT too (Windows) and have admin rights on my workstation. Even though I have the power to install any software, it’s against policy to do so (and technically that’s a good policy).

  Also, I don’t like the idea of anyone/anything but me having my passwords. I go with 2FA if something is important/certified based 2FA if it’s really important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learning to drive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I vote for: 2:47:18.987 and 9:51:43.051

  Makes you concentrate on driving! /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God ****** dammit, here we go again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, just tell your work IT staff that you need admin rights to your workstation so you can “install the software you want to” (that they don’t supply or support or update).

  See how well that works. /s
