  • Being burned out doesn't mean being catty, intentionally spreading false rumors, forming impenetrable cliques, and just being rude and talking behind each others backs.

    I get it, nurses are over worked and under paid. But so are a ton of other professions and they dont have this same problem.

  • Honestly a reasonable reaction from Bubblegum. Why go to a Globetrotters game and then complain about them doing Globetrotters stuff?

    Would you watch a documentary and then complain about a silky British voiceover? Or a soap opera and complain about the hazy look of it? Or a musical when you can see the actor scurrying away after "dying" (hint, they don't actually die)

  • For my anecdotal story, I've never been treated worse than when I was doing IT for a hospital and working around nurses, who were almost exclusively women. God it felt like I was in a mean girls movie or some campy coming of age story about bullying.

  • Its honestly blown my mind that it's taken this long to get something that's even somewhat competitive with the Tesla's.

    Like a Model 3 is $35k, has a near perfect safety score, can go like ~360 miles on a charge, and is a 4 door sedan.

    Let's look at some competitors why don't we?

    • BMW i3 has a 4 star rating, gets like ~300 miles range, and costs $60k
    • Honda Prologue does have a 5 star rating, but it only gets ~300 miles range, and is a SUV, it also starts at $50k
    • BYD HAN (the only one i could see on their website in the states) only gets "300+ miles" on a charge, but it supposedly only costs around $30k. I also couldn't find any safety information that didn't come from the Chinese government so I wont comment on that.

    Obviously Musk is a bad guy and you shouldn't give him money and all that. But it seems like the legacy manufacturers are like 3-4 years behind, and that's the smallest the gap has ever been.

  • Aren't you worried about losing them? I keep my photos backed up to a local storage server and Google drive because I'm terrified about that. I lost my iPhone 5 back when it was new and that maybe is why I'm so nervous about it.

  • Huh I guess that makes sense. Idk I guess I solved it other ways.

    I back up all of my photos to a server I have at home so I don't think I've moved a file off my phone in like a decade. And the closest I get is sending a single photo but I'll just email/text it to myself in that case.

    I also store all my music locally, but Im not even close to using all of my storage? I just checked, i have 6340 songs, and ~1000 photos/videos. And that takes up a total of like 26gb. So I'm not ever really limited by storage.

  • Nobody owns their smartphone. Just like nobody owns anything else anymore. But personally, my "cloud provider" is a server box in my basement which I do own.

    I just don't see the benefit of using an SD card. But I've seen too many of them fail while I was a photographer so maybe I'm just burnt out.

  • I'm an avid fanboy of Bluetooth on mobile. Its not "better in every way" but when I'm out and about, it is.

    • I don't have the lag issue because I only listen to music with it. But this is an issue, and while it's better it's still not consistent enough.
    • A/V resync maybe this is just luck but I have had resync issues with Bluetooth in like half a decade? Outside of my phone just sometimes not connecting to them or something.
    • High pitched hiss - actually not sure what you mean by this because anything better than $1 ear buds won't have the hiss, and $1 wired ear buds are going to hiss after 1 month when the cable deteriorates
    • Wired headphones also degrade over time. Especially when you're out on the go and they get snagged, tangled in pockets, etc. I got my current earbuds for Christmas in 2019 and they are still going strong.
    • Interference - again I'm curious to see what earbuds you've used in the last ~5 years. This really isn't a problem any more unless you're 10+ meters from your phone or leave it next to the microwave anymore.

    Anyways, i don't expect this to change your mind. It just seems like these "critiques" of Bluetooth earbuds have literally never changed even though the tech has gotten orders of magnitude better in the last decade or so.

  • It just makes me laugh because they have a "!" At the end of their name. It just looks kinda goofy, kinda like when influencers have sponsored posts and they include the "™" in their copy haha

    That being said, PopOS! is actually a great os.

  • There is an enormous difference between "police should be held responsible for their actions" and "we should have literally 0 police".

    Believe it or not "ACAB" doesn't mean the latter. Its just a fun little acronym. And just like all fun little acronym or protest chant, it doesn't encapsulate the entirety of the movement, discussion, or belief(s).

  • No you either don't understand math in general or how to follow instructions.

    Because as written, these are two wholly separate operations. So there's no "order" to them except linearly.

    And even if you wrote it out, you still couldn't end up with 0 unless your card number is 0.

  • Most OSes will let you do it but 2025.01.01.png could have issues compared to 2025-01-01.png. Plus I think it's a little clearer what the file type actually is.

    Its just a little pedantic thing I've picked up after years of being a sysadmin. In my mind slashes (/) are reserved for directory delimitation and the period (.) is to separate the file name from the file type. I also have a little bit longer of a list of "reserved" characters for other reasons (%, #, and {}`)

  • Its been perfectly playable for me. I usually get around 40-50 fps depending on what's going on. I haven't had it crash or ran into any controller support issues yet.

    I'm really good about picking up trash (its one of my favorite parts of the game lol) but I've heard that can start to impact the game pretty bad.
