Yeah I've put about 5 hrs off and on and the entire time just feel like I'm fucking it all up.

The materials needed to produce batteries and wind turbines and maintain them over time is the issue. Did your 62 page report discuss this?

soloner , 21 days ago to Antiwork in Wells Fargo fires employees for utilising down time.

Sorry you're getting downvoted... I read the article as well and yeah- You're totally right. This is BS rage bait that isn't even warranted against Wells Fargo.

I have 2 coworkers who do the same thing and it is pretty damn irritating cuz they're on my team, and I legitimately cannot rely on them on a day to day basis to be around to do their job. So I understand the frustration. This shit does ruin WFH for everyone else, directly or indirectly.

Wife spilled some beer in the keyboard. Screen doesn't turn on, it doesn't hold a charge, keyboard doesn't work. But we need sensitive data off the drive.

Take it to their "genius" bar where we are told there is nothing that can be done for the old data and we should just buy a new one.

I take it home, Google a bit and try target disk mode. Et Voila I'm in and can get that data from the hard drive as though it was an external HDD.

Why the Apple "genius" didn't share this option with me? They don't actually care about helping.

And that's the rub with Apple. They don't give a fuck about their users or developers. Just want to herd them around to make more money off their overpriced garbage.

It's making it out like such a revelation wouldn't be damaging. Being a single woman and not being young is not easy. Her taking it in stride like that is unrealistic.

Ask yourself how you would feel in that situation after investing years in a relationship. Would you be that thrilled to be on the dating scene again and having to start over with someone new?

Not saying it couldn't be amicable like it has been portrayed, but this strip makes it out like there is nothing sad or difficult about the situation, only focusing on the perspective/agenda of the trans person.

Do those things give you DJ and radio options? I'm too lazy to go find the songs I want. I'd rather just let the app put on tunes and learn what I like based on feedback and behavior.

I'm eager to revisit NV and 3 soon... I did 4 modded survival mode about a year ago and that was some fun shit.

76 is also on my radar as I've heard it has improved tremendously to be a respectable offering, even if not the best in the series.

Would sarcasm without inflection be the same as deadpan? So maybe without the /s it's deadpan and with the /s it's sarcasm? :P

This has been a fun conversation to read. Such nuance.

soloner , 3 months ago to Privacy in VLC - App stores were a mistake

Banks have laws and regulations that they must abide by to secure the access to and information of customer accounts. A security team will surely have to sign off on whatever the app developer or customer experience manager wants to implement.
