I don’t think companies understand that the words “we will make a one time exception for you as a courtesy” is the magic incantation to ensure that customer never returns.
I got that from Staples last week because they did me a real solid by refunding my online order they cancelled instead of going to a store with ID and the invoice and original credit card. Who the fuck goes to a physical store to get a refund on an online order the company themselves cancelled?!
lol. They’re promoting their employee shuttle. Classic Felon.
Did you put regular detergent in a high efficiency washer?
My baby has diapers that say “up to 100% leakproof”. It does not help my confidence in the product.
You need to run it with sudo, duh.
You’re just mad Gender Studies didn’t call you for a second interview.
What about Mermaid? https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/gantt.html
It supports Gantt charts and has a pretty nice language for modifying chart content once you get used to it.
I use Obsidian with the Mermaid plugin for offline work, but there are tons of good web-based options out there, too.
I bought Terraria when I was really into Minecraft. Didn’t like it at first because the only Minecraft thing is “pick up blocks and crafting”, but once I gave it a fair shake I absolutely loved it.
Fuck, now I have the game music stuck in my head from thinking about the game!
I have one. It’s a fucking lie.
It’s a little worrisome, actually. Professionally written software still needs a human to verify things are correct, consistent, and safe, but the tasks we used to foist off on more junior developers are being increasingly done by AI.
Part of that is fine - offloading minor documentation updates and “trivial” tasks to AI is easy to do and review while remaining productive. But it comes at the expense of the next generation of junior developers being deprived of tasks that are valuable for them to gain experience to work towards a more senior level.
If companies lean too hard into that, we’re going to have serious problems when this generation of developers starts retiring and the next generation is understaffed, underpopulated, and probably underpaid.
I absolutely adored a low budget game called Firewatch. It’s first person and your only contact with another human is through a radio. You’re running away from your life and work for a summer in a fire watch tower in a national park.
The story is nice and the characters are interesting and flawed and relatable.
Buy it on sale and have a fun evening or two with it.
You can’t even see what brand the fridge is! What a stupid captcha.
If it’s a Samsung it’s definitely the one with the shortest lifespan.
We had a baby recently and I tried to read a few books geared towards men to be better prepared.
The bar for men is very, very low. It’s a tripping hazard.
The guidance in all of them was a pathetic mix of “have you tried basic empathy?” and idiotic sports metaphors. It was baffling. Are most men actually like stupid sitcom dads from the 90s?
Ah, the Apple Maps of jigsaw puzzles.
Or if you could mod a personality onto any of the NPCs.
After the weird scream/singing Viva Las Vegas it might be over, my man.
clean up after her pet
The headline didn’t say that.
I far prefer the reality where Emily Blunt doesn’t even own a dog but is notorious for showing up at random dog parks and running off with poop.
If you don’t want to crush them with the side of a knife to loosen the peels (it works great but then the squashed garlic is hard to hold if you’re grating it), a trick I saw was to chop the bottoms off the cloves and then throw them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. The skins start to fall right off and peel like magic.
Better yet, there’s sites that have filters you can set. So you set the wattage filter to 60w and then…. no fucking results. But if you clear the filter, there’s lots of results, because it turns out their entire inventory has a wattage of “n/a”.
