  • Depends on the situation. I would accept conscription for myself as a measure of last resort ie. defence. I probably wouldn't be much use to them anyway so they would have to be really desperate!! I also kind of like how the Swiss military service works, everyone does it, knowing it will probably never be needed... because it teaches life skills etc.
    On the other hand I don't think I could get behind the US conscription for Vietnam or Russia conscription for Ukraine.

  • This is the best answer and why I was thinking it wouldn't be possible but couldn't come up with a good explanation.
    Also Cunninghams law in action... post a dumb answer and someone will give the right answer. Thanks.

  • Not sure it would be possible but got me thinking. The brain consists of around 100 billion neurons with a charge of around 0.07 volts at rest. That is a theoretical 7 billion volts. I am not a doctor or electrician but that would have to go somewhere, presumably earth. No idea of the consequences somewhere between none and spontaneous combustion would be my guess!!

  • Career wise I find myself in a similar position. Roles in my niche skill set are largely offshore or contract positions now. I don't like the idea of management. I love doing what I do... fixing bugs, investigating complex problems, not talking to people for days!!

    I have been debating trainer or tester roles. There is also Scrum master as a possibility but I think that would be too regimented for me, there doesn't seem to be much scope to adapt the scrum model for different situations - at least the way my employer does it!

    Just some ideas, I don't have much good advice as I'm spinning my wheels without a clear direction at the moment.

  • While I concede your general point on the practicalities of responsible pet ownership and exotic pets, I imagine that what you are saying about vets be fairly region specific. Indoor birds are the 3rd most popular pet in the UK... albeit with only 3% of households as cats and dogs dominate here. There are 2 vets that service birds within 2 miles of me and one is an exotic specialist. Location was not specified so I suggested some of the more common options if the most popular ones are not suitable.

  • Guinea pig maybe (perhaps a larger breed) although you might still be allergic). I find rabbits aren't really that interested in playing but don't know about guinea pigs. If fur is totally out, maybe something like an iguana (but the only one i know of is jubjub on the simpsons). I think this would depend where you live as well. Birds like budgies could be good but the only experience I have is of friends pets, and they stank.

  • In connect, there is "about instance" option in the ellipsis menu of a community list. On the next screen there should be a "view communities" option. However, selecting a community on there doesn't always go to the right one.

  • I have a vague recollection that inkscape maybe able to handle webp conversion... the alternative could be to display it and take a screenshot that you can save any way you want.

    Edit: scratch that it can't... I used cloudconvert.com the last time I did that.
