In the same way that the USPS operates at a loss

Gas can behave like a fluid. Or rather, the two can behave similarly, but they aren't the same thing.

In November I somehow convinced a company to hire me as director of IT. Now I have 7 IT techs and 3 software devs under me. I had never been in a management position before (not even fast food or something like that) but it was like a $30k/yr raise so i took it.

I started off wondering how they hadn't figured out that I had literally 0 idea what I was doing. But I've started to realize that nobody in middle management has any idea what they are doing haha.

So, go and lie to interviewers. Worse case you get fired and you can lie to another set of them. Nobody cares and even fewer people actually understand what's going on.

Where are you that you don't do Easter egg hunts anymore? They're still pretty popular in my part of the Midwest US. Hell, it's not even a religious thing anymore haha

Australia was really fun because man do they know how to properly roast someone. They'd come up with some of the most creative ways to call me a fuck ass yank and then buy my next beer haha

(Although, I absolutely whooped everyone down there in darts and I'm not even that good haha)

I've only met one person from France in my life. It was at a music festival here in the states. I asked him if he knew where a specific stage was and through that thick French accent he said "go fuck yourself" and then walked away.

Obviously a sample size of one doesn't represent a whole country but yeah.

Source Code release could be complicated, especially for games that aren't 30 years old because the devs don't start over from scratch every time so there would still be an enormous amount of proprietary code in it.

Itd be cool (and as impractical as it is, I believe all code should be open sources) but not really feasible

There used to be but the moderators forgot to sign up for HP Smart® Instant Ink™ and used non-authorized ink (first party ink ordered directly from HPs website) so it got shut down 😔

Yeah but if they let users control the data then how are they supposed to sell it to insurance companies to boost their value to VCs???

Hmm you're right. I thought it was closer to 0 ad, but it looks like it was closer to 600-300 bc.

Doesn't change my point though.

Its still sometimes possible. Manufacturers will periodically run 0% interest loans specials for people who qualify. Tesla (don't actually buy one) runs the deals all the time actually.

What'd you buy?

Sure, but comparing what people thought 2000 years ago to what they think now is a fruitless endeavor.

The concept of democracy came about around that time too (at least the Greek one, which arguably wasn't the first but I digress) but should we exclude women and foreigners from it? That's what the early proponents of democracy wanted.

First, you should probably lessen with the therapy speak. This is a personal thing but the commodification of therapy is actually a huge problem that we should talk about. But I digress.

Second, maybe clarify this up a little bit? Are these people your roommates? Your upstairs neighbor? Downstairs? Next door? I genuinely don't know who you're talking about.

But (I'm assuming these are your up or downstairs neighbors?) I had a buddy who was in a similar situation where even the microwave beeping would cause the upstairs neighbor to thump on the floor. He just had to complain to the apartment complex a bunch (basically every time it happened, as it happened) and eventually they got it sorted. The upstairs neighbor stopped being annoying and moved out shortly after.

In an apartment you will hear your neighbors and it's unrealistic to expect them to be perfectly silent all the time.

It was a 7 leaf clover ;)

But yeah this one makes me sob uncontrollably

I went to one in Chicago and had some of the best wings I've ever had in my life, still to this day.

Went to another one in my home town a few years later, and had terrible, obviously frozen wings.

Never went back again. Not sure if that answers your question.

someone who promotes a product while hiding the fact that they've been paid

Streamers generally say "this is a sponsored stream"

So by your own definition streamers are generally not shills?

My buddy is a little streamer (gets maybe a few dozen viewers) and he got early access to it as well. Although he doesn't add any fake hype, he's just a very good hype man.

Ubuntu Server supports Windows Active Directory. I haven't used it for anything but authentication (and authentication works flawlessly) and some basic directory/share permissions but theoretically it should support group policy too.

It'd be cool if there was a mainstream FOSS alternative though (there might be, I've done literally 0 research), but this works okay-ish in the meantime.

But for management of the actual production servers at work I use a combination of ManageEngine (super great and reasonably priced) and Microsoft's Entra (doesn't work well, don't do it)

Its not nearly as Dinky as it looks in this picture. Its almost the entire width of the device. I got to play with it a bit and its actually super stable, its obviously not 100% rigid and personally I wouldnt use it like that because its a bit awkward. But its a really cool device.

Here's the store page with some more pics of it.
