- Comment on Don't let people sell you flashlights :) 5 months ago:
Generally speaking yes, but there are some exceptions.
For example, flashlights intended to be attached to a firearm DO incur a premium for a good reason. They’re subjected to intense sudden movement and vibration, repeatedly, and it takes a lot of extra hardening and redundancy to develop a light that can repeatedly withstand that kind of abuse without eventually knocking core components loose. If you were to try to attach a tactical light intended for airsoft/bb use to a real firearm, its not going to last long. There’s a reason gun lights are as expensive as they are.

100%. I have a nice cushy work from home desk job right now but I’ve also worked service jobs and manual labor jobs and I would absolutely jump at the chance for a job as janitorial staff on a starship exploring the galaxy for nothing more than accommodations and the amenities of replicators and holodecks aboard said starship exploring the galaxy. Space shitter clogged? I’m all over it for a chance to just out there with my needs met.

- Comment on what do y'all actually host? 10 months ago:
I used to work for a major shared environment web hosting company that also hosted mail for its customers and the mail was the absolute worst. Both in terms of day to day support of users wanting to connect mail clients and in the bigger scope of keeping our mail gateways in good reputation on global blacklists. All it took was a couple bad actors to ruin mail reputation from an entire cluster of servers, and in shared hosting you’re bound to have well more than a few bad actors.
We had methods in place to try to keep it in check, but it was like herding cats. I left that company several years ago but even then they had been trying to ramp down and discourage mail hosting by offering Google Apps, not sure if they still host mail or not.

This isn’t the guests/special occasion China, this is the put on display and never use China.

Just a simple tailor. Nothing more…
- Comment on What about angry birds? 1 year ago:
That actually makes me wonder if it would be at all disorienting to play something that low resolution in a holodeck environment. Anyone know if they ever explored that in any of the series?

As long as you’re interviewing remotely, yes absolutely just a little dram to take the edge off of your nerves can do wonders.
