• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do gangs "jump in" new recruits? Or is that just for movies and tv shows? If so why do they do that kinda seems anti productive.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not clinical, but I worked in medical IT off and on.

  The shit I would hear from clinical staff.

  Had a senior surgeon call me because his application was frozen. Cool, cool, lets get that going - wait - you’re what - palpating a child’s heart to keep it beating in rhythm? There are back ups upon back ups for anything IT related in that scenario. Don’t call your overnight helpdesk with that shit, have your nurse write it down on paper. Fuck.

  Most traumatic IT call I’ve ever had. Didn’t even care to solve his IT issue, just focused on patient care. My 20 something ass with a few years behind the desk told him to focus on the patient’s LIFE first and foremost, we can talk later.

  Always great for an interview question though - how do you respond under stress? Well, lol…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who is your favorite video game developer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Black Isle Studios.

  Hands down, no contest.

  If you’re looking for a name, Chris Avallone. Planescape: Torment and fucking New Vegas.

  I only have one tattoo, and it is the Rune of Torment. That piece of art touched me.

  Wait and Bleed in my ass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Donald Trump says he’ll task Elon Musk with auditing the entire federal government⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A moron hires a moron to audit things.

  There is a phrase for that. The blind leading the blind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We live in troubled times, the planet is overheating at a rate that it might affect my life more than being more uncomfortable in the summer. And that’s Texas summers at that.

  There is an island of plastic refuse in the ocean bigger than some countries.

  I saw the home computer come to the living room and the internet be birthed.

  If you were to ask if I was jaded as a kid, already? Yeah. Around 7 years old.

  It isn’t getting better. Corporations claw for more and more at the expense of the people and the planet.

  I hope the younger generations can lead the charge of change, but for me… I don’t have the time or energy to play games most days, let alone change the planet.

  And for those who will say, “Aren’t you just part of the problem then?” Sadly yes, I am. I try to make changes when I can, but I fear changing the small environment of my home will not be enough.

  Cut myself with a microscope slide. Didn’t realize the lens would drop far enough to break it. Whoops. Ended up nicking my finger getting the slide off.

  My proudest science lab injury though, was with a plastic butter knife. Don’t ask me how I managed, but I did. It was an ugly cut too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study that asked people to count squashed bugs reveals worrying results⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We have geckos local here.

  If we didn’t have cats, I’d put a few in the house.

  Problem with cats is, you either find the head, or the rest of the body. Never both halves of the gecko.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I need a slightly less secure walkthrough to allow, essentially, android auto and google maps to operate.

  I did without for a while, and it wasn’t pretty.

  Lets just say I went from a sketchy hospital district to a very sketchy dead end in a neighborhood that had lookouts. Working nights, this was not a great time to drop in unannounced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose your ultimate lineup!⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, Dave Stage made that band what it was.

  I didn’t get the chance to meet him, but when I was active in the metal community I heard nothing but good things. I guess I should say Drowning Pool was a local band before they blew up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Appalachian Momma⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew a Bubba. Legal first name.

  He had a rat tail, of course.

  Went to play at his house one day (fourth grade), and it was a typical suburban house. I rode past it on my bike to get to school.

  Not a hint of white-trash about the situation.

  It still perplexes me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Canada declares Flipper Zero public enemy No. 1 in car-theft crackdown⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kali is still around, I last did an install ~6 months ago, I think?

  That got put on the back burner though, not because of the flipper, just life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Canada declares Flipper Zero public enemy No. 1 in car-theft crackdown⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have one.

  Its fun.

  But on the subject of rolling codes, I was able to get through a security gate that relies on, essentially, a garage door opener.

  The exploit relied on the ridiculously low amount of rolling codes it cycled through.

  Capture one, and try it a few times to get through.

  Cars are more robust. Despite tinkering with it for about 8 hours, I wasn’t successful with defeating it. That being said, I picked up the device, in part, to start messing around with various signals as an educational tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok sounds go silent as songs disappear from app⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Time enjoyed is not wasted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brought to you by the vertical mouse gang⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally dislike the freewheel scroll overall.

  Then again, the only time I’m really thinking about what features a mouse has, it’s for gaming so I like a little more precision and tactile feedback.

  For everything else I do, a mouse is a mouse.

  Unless it’s one of those BS apple ones with no right click. Those make me unreasonably upset.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Call me an idiot, but I would die laughing even if something like this happened to me⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t.

  I don’t think they even sell winter tires here.

  And if winter tires are the little studded ones… Yeah, those aren’t street legal here.

  That being said, we tend to shut down the state if someone drops an icecube.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Get to vantage point.

  Explore actionable map points.

  Go to next area.

  Repeat.

  Which game am I talking about? Doesn’t matter, it’s the Ubisoft formula these days and has been for a long time.

  Wake me up when Ubisoft metaphorically burns to the ground, or they do something innovative.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes one want to sail the high seas out of principle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget the long winded tales of how their distant relative they never met gave them the recipe from the “old country” or some shit.

  Dude, I just needed to see what temperature to set the oven to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a relative who did it.

  But they are super into genealogy.

  At this point, to go deeper, they would need to learn a new language and travel half way across the world.

  I was not consulted before this was done. I would have cautioned against it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breakthrough: "Electronic soil" boosts crop growth by over 50%⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes me miss a bar I used to go to, and was the favored watering hole for most of the staff at a previous job.

  It had had several owners, and it’s name changed on official paperwork every time. Locals still called it Big Tree.

  Why?

  It was built around a big tree that went out of the roof lol.

  It was bought and demolished, the tree removed.

  Nothing has been done with the lot since, and it’s been a couple years.

  Damn shame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people understand each other?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The same technique works back home in the US too.

  Foreign immigrant, but they’re not brown enough to shoot on sight? Louder and slower while you assess the foreign devil… Just because they’re white doesnt mean they can’t be a commie.

  This was meant as a joke, but living in the south this has certainly happened recently somewhere nearby.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screensharing mistake gets Nvidia sued over alleged stolen trade secrets⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only code I fuck with is my own. I’m not a Dev, but I write things for my convenience.

  Sometimes it gets the attention of those above me, and I get some sweet sweet time off the phones, blasting whatever music I’m in the mood for through noise canceling ear buds while I add a little form to the function, so to speak.

  So mostly, its a challenge to myself while working night shift, also part of why I enjoy night shift.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Googler who just resigned after 18 years reflects on the decline of the company he loved⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a symptom of capitalism as a whole.

  The whole perpetual growth, and being legally bound to try to provide that to shareholders, means only “safe” ideas are given any traction.

  The only time any “innovative” comes out is when billionaires have a pipe dream.

  However, they lack the skills or expertise (or even common sense) to execute them.

  Musk had ideas, bought his way into leadership, and essentially had to be corralled by handlers while other people did the actual hard work.

  Then, at the platform formally known as Twitter, with no handlers… Well, the world has seen how an unleashed Musk handles that. Spoiler: not well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sonic Shower Thought: Someone has probably used holodeck technology to feel like they're pooping at home.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Slower? Sure, I’ll grant you that.

  However, there are some things in life I’d rather not do, even if it resulted in being bored out of my mind.

  And I hate, hate, being bored.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drivers Tend To Kill Pedestrians At Night. Thermal Imaging May Help.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I nearly killed a group of people one night.

  Full on slamming of brakes and trying to not have another sort of accident.

  Roughly 3am, a major major highway, and a group of people decides to dash across.

  Dark clothing. Crossed between where any lights were.

  Everyone involved was very lucky in that moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are 144hz screen possible?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You didn’t clean them weekly?

  Man I did, but they were hockey skates (ice was not a thing here at the time) and I wanted to get every ounce of performance out of them.

  Cleaning bearings, rotating wheels, relacing them cause my feet grew crazy for a while.

  I was a weird kid though. Now I’m just a weird adult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't they using drones and more automation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why invest in tech when there are so many red shirts around?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police officer demanded school uniform sex images⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So why not explore the mental domination subset of BDSM with a consenting (and of legal age) partner?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone have good memories of (or still belong to) a gaming clan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Everquest, the original.

  Two guilds come to mind.

  I was younger, too young to work, so one summer break I joined up with a European guild to raid with. Lots of fun, learned a but about British (primarily) culture. Lots of fun, even when I joined another guild I raided with them from time to time.

  The other was a family guild. It eventually fell apart as the adults got busier with their careers and kids and shit. But the inner circle, so to speak, were invited to a bulletin board and we all talked for years after that. Eventually lost contact with them as I grew up and got busy with life.

  Lots of fond memories, and a couple not so fond (RNG hates me, in every way). But they were along when RNG screwed me time and again, and were always willing to try again. Lots of love for those folks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Server Hardware?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Performance isn’t key. But I like performance, lol.

  I’ll have to check out the HP mini. As I said, just barely scratched the surface on researching this, and its more of a thought than a project at the moment, lol.

  I just can’t afford (and cool) enterprise level stuff at home. It was free (to me) so no big loss other than buying a better CPU used ~50 bucks. I’ve spent more on worse ideas lol.
