That’s basically the story of my desktop too.

3rd PSU, 3rd motherboard and processor, 3rd graphics card, case fans, etc., but I still have the original dvd drive (which is unplugged). All in a BTX Antec P180 case I bought in 2007. The power button keeps falling out now, so it might be time to replace it too. But with the price of ram, it’ll be a straight parts swap.

I even got a victory lap email from my dem rep. Who signed onto one of the other bills that would have given trump a path forward.

Goddamn warhawks.

See everyone, the tech oligarchs totally will save us!

Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson plans to offshore the East Lake, Ohio, plant of Conn Selmer, the largest U.S. manufacturer of brass and orchestra instruments.

“We can’t have American producers closing American factories and offshoring. We need to protect American jobs and protect American manufacturing,” Paulson said just last year.

As an inveterate imbiber, even a fifth (750ml) of mild spirits (80pf/40%abv) in 15 minutes will get anyone in trouble.

He quit walking the line and dove head first over it.

Well, that explains why corporate is so intent on them. They’re creating the perfect little KPI-driven stooge.

Heck, now I’d like to see a study on KPIs (as a concept) as a reality distortion lens. It would seem like they have inadvertantly created a way to calculate a reality alignment index for a given KPI. Is it reasonable to conclude that using KPIs to measure performance is, in itself, unethical behavior?

To go a bit further: Is there a correlation between the number of KPIs and the likelihood of creating scenarios in which the only desirable outcome lies outside reality? That is, how many KPIs does it take to get sufficient competition between priorities that it effectively requires hallucinating a solution to achieve a sufficiently aligned result?

Shot in the dark, but maybe [email protected] has someone more knowledgeable about that vicinity.

Best bet is probably craft cocktail bars.

Just start bar hopping and have a shot of Fernet if they don’t have malort. That’s the delicacy we’re known for anyway.

Oof, I’m a good hour plus away with any traffic. You can definitely find it in bars though!

I’m always down for shots of malort.

The juice? Easily. I got my last bottle at a total wine.

The poster … No idea.

I can empathize. I went back to work a month ago now. It was/is hard to be unavailable.

Luckily, I work from home in a fairly independent role and my wife is still on leave, so we’re still largely co-parenting. We could afford to have me stay at home, but we’re saying that the extra I make above the truly wild cost of daycare will go to his education, financial security, and cultural enrichment.

We’re also telling ourselves that daycare will be a positive/important social experience for him because we have a small friend group locally and family is halfway across the US.

Or her job!

Nonetheless, I agree with the sentiment.

Reminds me of my first day of intro to programming my first semester of freshman year at a small Christian Reformed college.

It opened with prayer and then a lecture on how technology is inherently evil. Then we started writing a java applet.

I applied to a state school within 2 weeks of starting.
