And blackjack and hookers … oh wait, that’s the southwest.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 5 days ago:
China. Military has been gearing up to defend Taiwan for years and the intervention has been moved up to only 2 years from now.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg personally lost the Facebook antitrust case 5 days ago:
I mean, every time we hire a new manager (not high level mind you) we tell them that whatever they communicate digitally, they better be comfortable with it being read in court. Billionaires really have fuck your level of money. They just don’t care to think at all, and they’re okay with that. Gross.
- Comment on An Ars Technica history of the Internet, part 1 1 week ago:
I, too, thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I’ve read a lot of internet histories. Author did an amazing job at making it a fun read while putting the facts out there.
- Comment on How do I stop having expectations at the workplace? 1 week ago:
Not all workplaces are like this but a large majority are. People suck at great management.
On a specific to your career note, my wife has been an RN for decades at this point, 10 years at a local hospital. Management was trash there. Her co-workers were great but they made the job suck. They blamed the C-suite (yay, capitalism). What really got her was that she never felt backed by management and when a patient would outright lie, they’d back the patient every time. She left the hospital system to work for a private endo/gastro clinic and she said she should have made that decision years prior. She gets paid less than she would at a hospital but she happy and loves her coworkers and the docs that own the practice. They’ve won multiple awards and are top in the region.
Get the hell out of the hospital and find a great private practice. They’re out there and always looking for great nurses.
Good luck friend.

Unless it’s just plain old stock market manipulation with a twist.
- Comment on Can iPhones receive files via Bluetooth? 2 weeks ago:
Use LocalSend. It’s open source and works great on all devices and platforms.
- Comment on Can iPhones receive files via Bluetooth? 2 weeks ago:
This is not accurate. It uses BT to establish the connection and then it transfers the data over peer to peer WiFi, which is why it’s so much faster than Bluetooth File Transfer.
- Comment on am i stupid or are solar panel's efficiency independent on latitude 2 weeks ago:
Really great visuals.
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 2 weeks ago:
Probably Daniel Day Lewis. He’s extremely picky about what he’s in.
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 2 weeks ago:
This is accurate. I have a decent amount of Republican family and friends and this week was the first time I’d seen them go, “wait, oh HELL no.” I mean there is now a Republican group that is suing this administration for not following due process and circumventing Congress. That says a lot.
Just think about a retiree boomer who had their savings wiped out. What’s left to lose? Personally, I think there is a Julius Ceasar moment coming. Not condoning that but the writing is on the wall.
- Comment on Teardown Of A Scam Ultrasonic Cleaner 2 weeks ago:
Real ones are great but definitely more expensive. My wife has one that uses liquid and she puts jewelry in. Works extremely well.
- Comment on Teardown Of A Scam Ultrasonic Cleaner 2 weeks ago:
Not this.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 2 weeks ago:
Am salaried and also had the exact same thought. I haven’t had a work break in … 10 years at least. My fault, yeah.
- Comment on YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide. 3 weeks ago:
Sharepoint mainly. Mandatory at work. I don’t run IT.
- Comment on 3D Printed Art: Alice in Wonderland 3 weeks ago:
Very cool write up. I’ve always wondered what tools people use to do things like this.
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 3 weeks ago:
The reason there aren’t anymore crank windows isn’t because it’s a mandatory upsell, it’s because motorized is probably as cheap or even cheaper thanks to modern manufacturing and the preference of 99% of other people.
- Comment on YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide. 3 weeks ago:
The just install Linux crowd gets really old. How’s that gonna help on a work machine where I HAVE to use Office to collaborate? Oh right, it’s not! Totally unhelpful.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
We need more people well off to do things like this. Well done!
- Comment on If you work hard enough, your work will [pay off].’ And that’s not true. 4 weeks ago:
I was going to say that I’ve learned that networking is like 90% of getting ahead. Treat everyone you work with and know well, keep in contact with them every once in a while, and it can, not that it will, pay off.
Worked for me. I’m lucky.

And guest.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 4 weeks ago:
You aren’t the only one who doesn’t get the Slack love. I HATE their design philosophy. It has threads. That’s all it’s got going for i in my opinion. The rest of it is confusing and a pain to use.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 4 weeks ago:
I’m actually inspired. We need more of this!
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 4 weeks ago:
Great answer getting to the point of the question.
- Comment on Cloudflare announces AI Labyrinth, which uses AI-generated content to confuse and waste the resources of AI Crawlers and bots that ignore “no crawl” directives. 4 weeks ago:
The problem you aren’t recognizing is that, until humans are no longer driven by self preservation, there will always be oppression in any system. They all have and will continue to breakdown. It’s easy to blame capitalism but even socialist systems eventually cave under the weight of greed and power. We are the problem mon frère.
- Comment on The wildest details in the Facebook memoir Meta is trying to bury 5 weeks ago:
All of this is totally plausible and not that wild. I believe her. Also Streisand effect much? Never knew of the book till now.
- Comment on Kernel saunters – Apple rearranges XNU kernel with exclaves 1 month ago:
Essentially, Apple is trying to realize the security advantages of a microkernel without tossing the monolithic aspects of XNU.
Pretty neat hardening of the OS. Decent write up that isn’t too deep in the weeds.
- Comment on A TV With Contrast You Haven’t Seen For Years 1 month ago:
And you’re being pedantic and missing the point.
- Comment on A TV With Contrast You Haven’t Seen For Years 1 month ago:
So a projector. Just like DLP. That’s the backlight technology in this case. Instead of an LCD screen being integrated into the projector itself, it’s on a larger screen in front of it. Same difference as far as lighting technology goes.
- Comment on A TV With Contrast You Haven’t Seen For Years 1 month ago:
A better one would be “A Projector With Contrast You Haven’t Seen In Years.”
