  • That's so evil, and given Enterprise's cancellation mid season also: perfect

  • No, maslows hierarchy of needs mandates a lack of savings equating with a lack of stability at lower tiers and hence your employees will fail to function at higher levels. So you need to pay more than minimum rates in every role, everywhere, if you want to actually have people and not worried as fuck drones.

    Now, how much more depends on local factors - but here's a quick rule: if they add value to your business pass on about 25% of that profit from that individual. Finding a profit for a person can be challening, this is why you get a HR person and accountants.

  • Excel mostly, csv wasn't much of a standard and thus it's horrible to work with. We can fix that with a parquet importer and exporter!

  • Friends don't let friends use csv in 2024. Excel needs a good parquet importer and exporter today. Ya hearing Microsoft? Quit pissing around with recall and build something useful!

  • Yup, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=horse+gas+mask&t=fpas&iax=images&ia=images - loads of varities though I'm not sure on numbers deployed. Due to the rather static lines of defense I do believe the second world war actually saw more horses used! The nazis were always scrambling for oil and petroleum and thus they utilised stupendous amounts of horses

  • The thing about air: there's a lot of it. Not many gases take that long to settle/dissipate. And a gas mask is pretty effective at filtering. I do imagine worst case scenario in the heaviest bombardment is a brief evacuation of current line of defense only, as this is what happened back in the somme. It was far more effective vs artillery: artillery regiments weren't equipped as well and thus they were denied counter battery fire for enough time to allow front lines to cross no mans land. Which were backed up by creeping barrages, which I haven't read much out in Ukraine yet

  • Gas in WW1 changed the battlefield for about 6 weeks whilst they scrambled for gas masks, but after this it didn't have the effect either side thought it would. A stupid distraction that will earn Putin and his generals a trip to the Hague for sure

  • Bannocks also powered the last Scottish army - the Jacobite incursion into England

  • Wow, what's the size limit going to actually be? 20MW is phenomenal from a single turbine, but what could we hit?

  • Kids glued together some pasta for these

  • Too much wiggle room imo. If your business needs out of hours support: pay on call rates. Nobody should be contactable outside of office hours

  • Keep them bottled up at least

  • Britain still had this until early 2010s I believe, early post and late post. Daily in the city, not Sundays, is the norm now. You still find prioriry post boxes which are collected twice a day too

  • Nah, just back to Gopher and 5k baud. As an aside: Gemini is pretty awesome

  • What would you replace it with? There are lessons to be learnt from the web, but to "fix" it is much harder

  • openSUSE worth a consideration. More frequent releases than debian, but still pretty conservative
