Man, we’ve definitely improved the survivability of industrial accidents in recent times. I heard about another guy who fell into an upholstery machine, but he’s fully recovered now!

Me too, bud. 😭

Makes me think of this clip from Camp Camp

Chromium and its descendants also do this, but yes, that’s implemented by the browser itself.

Support for global touch gestures is dependent on the DE’s feature set.

When I got stuck whilst writing a cover letter for a job I really wanted (and needed), I gave up and had ChatGPT write one with heavy guidance. I was prepared for the interviewer to ask if I used AI to write it (applying to IT in a library, so I figured it might come up).

I concluded that I would definitely say “yes” if asked. If they were to accuse me of cheating, I wouldn’t deny that perspective, but I would offer my own: When I reached my limits, I found the right tool for the job, understood its strengths, worked within its limitations, then validated the result.

I did not simply throw the job description and my resume at a robot then submit whatever it spat out without inspection. That would be irresponsible of me, and disrespectful to the hiring manager. I took care to make sure the result was desired and fit my needs, and I made several adjustments (both via prompt and via keyboard) until I was sure that it fulfilled my wishes.

Did I do An Engineering™ on the prompt? Fuck no.

But did I choose the right tool, learn how it works, operate it with care, then ensure the finished product was acceptable to the concerned parties? Fuck yeah, I did.

Come to find out, they didn’t ask, and didn’t care. I got the job and have been here for several months. Boy, am I glad I didn’t let my inability to write an original cover letter ruin my chance at the best job I’ve ever had.

They get paid when the least amount of people they insure use their services. They’re not incentivized to help those they’ve insured. The less they have to pay out to providers, the better the executive bonuses. Thus, they are diligent in collecting premiums, but can just sit on their hands when it comes to paying out.

The more the system denies and delays a claim, the fewer insured people are willing or able to put themselves through the bureaucracy gauntlet, the fewer pay outs.

They’re not in the business of insurance, they’re in the business of making money from the business of insurance. It’s over-complicated on purpose.

Not really. It’s easier to measure a count of a thing than it is to measure a count of groups of 8 of a thing. It’s just easier to display when you’re not wasting the cycles to devide it by 8 all the time.

No, use %command%. This is a cue for the steam client to replace that string with the real command that launches the game.

Protip for those of us that have trouble with telling the difference:

Do you want a solution, or support?

If you struggle with this enough that your partner has taken issue with it, this will show that you’re trying, and that you want to help, even if you don’t know what to do. Can’t express how much this has helped me.

And if the response you get is something along the lines of “You should just know!” Run.

Important note: zip ties (what is being discussed in the OP), and zip cuffs (cuffs that are made from similar material and tech) are very much NOT the same, and cannot be treated the same way.

Everything You Knead To Know. There’s lots of massages to give to multiple partners!

And if you see someone shoplift food/formula then no, the absolute fuck you didn’t.

I’ve never seen a more accurate description of ElectroBOOM in my entire life.

Anything can be printed with enough heat.

It’s a song by Bo Burnham from his Netflix special “Inside”, so it’s good enough for them to stream :P

THIS IS CORRECT. I CANNOT BE QUENCHED.

Well, before talking about meds, remember that all bodies are unique, some side effects will affect people in different levels, TL;DR: YMMV, etc, etc…

I saw no negative sexual side effects on vyvanse. In fact, if there were any effects related to sex, it was that I could actually avoid distraction while there is an obviously important person to pay attention to.

This isn’t about that specifically, but the gist of it is that they basically got a one-of-a kind prototype GPU water block from a boutique startup to review, and instead of reviewing it with the correct model GPU and sending it back as requested, they did their review on the wrong card, concluded it was crap, and then sold it at auction during their convention.

He’s also got to be some non-zero percentage of cream corn at this point, right?

As far as I’m concerned, not knowing the difference falls under the “not qualified” part of my earlier statement.

You happen to know what you’ve got, and what you’re doing? Go for it. More power to you.

Any shadow of doubt? Put the tools down, get someone who knows what they’re doing.
