The Clovis people would like a word.

But they’re wiped out. Violently.

Weird how that’s not in the stories though.

The CF is an armed force. It’s a force that is armed.

Primarily it’s brought out for prisoner search and sandbags. So, so, so-so, so, so many sandbags.

Um, sorry. We’ll be more polite.

So a simple eviction -slash- fireworks show then.

Wheeeee!

At my house we agreed I’d never play factorio. Not even once.

Typescript, VS Code, and DotNet Core

Aren’t these all just its own products?

And wow, do I hate VS Code. Just sayin.

Two things:

• our alexa units are fine. We manage a half-dozen bulbs and a set-top box.
• if they want a subscription to keep doing that, HomeAssistant becomes the top job on the queue.

That’s it.

slag?

wicked as it can be, never really messed with our internal affairs.

When you realize Ukraine is the reason Russia hasn’t come for other countries, it’ll make more sense.

I get that you’re apparently in a nation you classify as developing. The same label can be applied to America in 1200ad or Ukraine/Gaza in 2025 – in all cases, no ability to prevent colonizers from taking the land if they choose.

Unchecked, we’re all at risk. Just, developing countries are at risk of facing a war even more outbalanced than the belligerent invasion of Ukraine or Gaza.

Hasn’t Hezbollah been targeting Israel for decades?

It’s just cute how much you left out, there, as if that’s the only thing that’s been going on.

My chiro has all his training in physiotherapy. So is he a quack or is he a pro? I’m so confused!

I peaced out at 2. Manager was a bit of a prick, and the office was bright, hot, cramped, loud, and had no visual or audio privacy.

No fucking thanks.

Found a job thanks to my peers and it’s a little more pay and 100% remote as per the union contract. Wheeee. Work anywhere in the country.

This would be a handy way to get rid of half your staff, but the people you chase away are usually the ones you want to keep. As per the Dead-Sea Effect, the ones who will leave are the ones who generally are more able to, who will be your most employable people, and thus your most talented. Usually.

Making work suck, and letting the best half of the staff bail, seems like stupid and a game show.

Lenovo: it may as well be Huawei.

You… don’t follow that rule?

everytime

I wish people knew this wasn’t a word.

the people complaining about how awful it is to desecrate stonehenge also want to build a motorway right through it

I can’t be the only counterexample of this ridiculous generalization.

This happens on my country all the time of late . I can’t even pronounce the letters in the new name of the hospital where I was born.

They’re gonna name the town the same name, so I wonder whether I’ll get a passport with a home town I can’t say or spell, or a passport with a home town that no longer exists. Either way, I’m getting strip-searched .

I have to be on site Tue - Thur to support the users.

My current day-job went from 100% get-in-that-chair-and-straighten-that-tie to 100% get-out-now on CoViD day 1. It was a rapid adjustment, to say the least; and the shit managers who needed to stare at asses all day to feel better just … left. They’ve since sold most of the office space but for some meeting space, 2 hotel spaces for those who prefer it, and one rotating helldesk dude to receive Fedex.

Supporting users? Onsite? Nope. It’s 100% remote service, and for the rare cases where it needs physical interaction with a component, the user and gear comes to the office and the onsite helldesk stuckee works it over. For those of us far-remote (regs are anywhere in the country, so long as the internet’s clean) we cross-ship for cheap or bring it to one of a very few deputized-for-secret-squirrel shops. I have a docking port-replicator I’m waiting on a shipper label for, for instance.

TL;DR - you don’t need to be onsite to support remote workers. That whole “bodies in the same room” thing is gone.

my work [computer] is powered off[;]

That’s the way. KVM switch if you multi-use the space. Mine has USB for sound so it’s the same sound setup.

the office was only 5 miles away […] enough to keep you on a schedule and get out of the house.

The new building where I live has wework spaces. I can rent on 5 and live on 20 and it’s an elevator ride if I want to work in the glass cube farm or open petri dish. But nooooo, we got this place for the AC and extra bedroom to write off and my cat’s sleeping on the desk as we speak like a sloppy floofy hobo so … nooooo.
