I (straight male) think a woman smoking a cigarette is really really hot. Like it turns me feral when I see it.

I have to constantly remind myself that is just marketing from cigarette companies haha

This is the only one that I haven't been able to drop from growing up in the early 2000s. I'm good about not saying it in public, but if it's just the boys playing games or something all bets are off haha

Some """people""" here in the Midwest call them cheese toasty

I'm curious on how you reconcile the "towns not much larger than 700 people" and the advanced automation you have in your world.

Drones, computers, or any of the 15 layers you need to support any "network" need significantly more people than groups of 700 to manufacture.

That's just how the game is. It's incredibly simplified. Every issue has a decision for you to make and that decision only impacts 2-4 things. Usually 1-2 positives, and 1-2 negatives.

It's a really fun little game but it shouldn't be used as a replacement for actual policy.

I really miss party shuffle. I swear it used to have a feature where other people could add songs to your party shuffle too?

That's one feature I wish would come back to streaming services

What's up with audacity? I use it like twice a year so I just download it whenever I need and uninstall it. I don't really do anything except some incredibly basic things (like record audio, cut segments out, maybe some noise reduction if I'm feeling fancy)

Yeah, in markdown the \ basically means "stop formatting". It's nice for more complicated things like math problems but if you don't know it can be annoying.

The resolution thing is actually almost solved IMO. I used my Quest 3 in AR mode almost every single day and the screens are perfectly fine for reading text or having a video on in the background.

Yeah there's still some screen door effect but it's really only noticeable when I look for it, it disappears in normal use.

And I genuinely can't think of a reason you would need 1000hz displays. Human eyes start to get steady motion at like 50-60 and 90-150 is when the normal eye starts to hit the limit.

you're a network engineer and the glasses show you on every port which device is connected

Unifi equipment already can sorta do this! The little dot pattern on the screen is an AR code and you can use the app to see this. It's pretty cool actually. I've never actually used it for real work though, I just look at the dashboard on my laptop and find the port that way.

It would be really really cool to be able to just touch the physical port and be able to change the settings in real space with AR glasses though.

Tandoor also supports aliases. I have mine set up so it automatically converts units into imperial (metric) because that's how I like it.

Wait where is the completely unnecessary side plot about the undergrads partying with another professor??

Are your fingers not opposable? I can move all of my fingers and touch the other 4?

Trucks are incredibly useful?

Okay so I originally assumed this was probably due to some union rule or something like that. But I didn't find any reference to it in the NALC guidelines, anything in the USPS resources center (which is hard to use), anything in google searches, and the original employee documentation or spec.

I did find the USPS History section and it turns out they have someone whose job title is "Postal Historian", Stephen Kochersperger.

But, anyways, I found the address (not email of course haha) for the USPS history office so I have wrote up an letter and put it in the mailbox. I will eventually update yall

I don't really know. Nobody seems to really be in jail, and their agenda keeps happening so enlighten me please.

they are serving up major Ls for trump.

Are they tho? Cause to me it seems like trump is floundering and the DNC has spent the last 9 years doing fuck all about it

Haha I'm actually from an IT background! I started doing it because I was tired of paying like $1000/month for 7361618 little programs.

There is a difference between "I'm frustrated with work so I will be short with people" and "I am going to systematically create a rumor that one of the IT guys is actually bi" or "10 of us are going to gang up on a new nurse and bully her until she leaves crying".

Those are some of the worst examples but little petty stuff happened all the time. But it was even little things like every time a nurse would walk away the other nurses would talk about how they're putting on weight or being a bad mom or some other nonsense.

I don't know, like I said this is anecdotal stories. But I've worked a lot of places in a lot of industries and nurses aren't the only ones who are overworked, underpaid, and burnt out. But they are overwhelmingly the ones who act the meanest.

making the most randomized bespoke solutions to every little business niche

Hey that's my cubicle job! Last week I made a program because one of the locations at my company wanted to be able to view tolls (were a trucking company) for their drivers only. So I threw that together.

This week I'm making a program which will replace a spreadsheet to track tablets (drivers get one for electronic logs). It won't do anything crazy but it will be color coded! (Color coding was the single most important feature they requested)

But today I didn't work on that because they wanted a little tool to convert various file types into TIFF files because they work the best with our management software.

So yeah, lots of random little automations and tools for like 1 or 2 people to do their niche little responsibilities.
