Guess what is this?

Jump

  • Heh. They said tuber.

    • Part time tech work?

    Jump

  • Back in the day, this job was a contract test position, or if you were lucky a technical trainer.

    I am in a similar position, and really wishing I could go back to my technical training gig. My ideal would be contracting fall-to-spring, summers off - working in climate. Feels like there's got to be some seasonal work in an industry growing so fast...

    • With the way the world's going, is there even a point to anything anymore?

    Jump

  • Check out this book: Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World — and Why Things Are Better Than You Think https://g.co/kgs/NrQSP4

    You're not wrong - shit's fucked up. But that's not all - there is tremendous progress in the world, and significant change coming down the pike.

    Why bother? Shape the change towards what's good, and be kind like the good dude above said.

    • I just finished watching The Prestige (2006), and I have to say..... wow.

    Jump

  • What a fucking awesome movie.

    • Favorite Brew Method

    Jump

  • Hario Switch - following a recipe I saw in the other place for high extraction.

    • Most recommended can opener?

    Jump

  • Swingline.

    • What book are you in the middle of reading right now?

    Jump

  • Consider Phlebas

    • Music

    Jump

  • Is that a zune?

    • A tooth too far...

    Jump

  • Oh wait, my bad. He's there in the back.

    • A tooth too far...

    Jump

  • Where's Gary Busey?!?!

    • Remember the ancient songs

    Jump

  • Oh God,.I was waiting for this...

    • Do you prefer contacts or glasses? Why?

    Jump

  • Glasses. My only super power is astigmatism - the contacts for it are horrible.

    I went to get lasic - the dude said: you'll need reading glasses, and maybe you'll see a boarder. What?!? No thanks - if I need glasses sometimes it's far better for me to use them all the time. That way I don't lose them.

    I do wish I could use sunglasses more easily, but...

    • I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

    Jump

  • Cheese.

    • The US Is Openly Stockpiling Dirt on All Its Citizens

    Jump

  • If I read it right: the government is paying for commercial (phone) location data. There are 3 issues:

    • creepy: the government shouldn't have this
    • costly: they are buying it with our tax dollars
    • comprehensive (?): They are getting everything (money can buy)?

    If the government were to require this (like via a search warrant) rather than pay for it it would go through a mountain of legal oversight. It seems like the interpretation is: commercially available = publically available.

    I guess what I would want to know next is: who gets access to this?
