Against every developer's advice, management has moved our entire stack to Microsoft Dynamics 365. It took over a year of prep, millions in ISV consulting charges, and it performs like trash. Now management is constantly complaining about outages, Microsoft nickles and dimes us for tens of thousands more than the estimates, and they are constantly jerking us around to half-baked tech by removing support for anything that actually works. "Want data out of F&O? We're killing everything except Synapse Link. You spent months migrating yet it drops data? That's not surprising since we fired everyone working on it. You should be on Fabric! No, that's not finished either, but we need to test it on someone!"

I'm very bitter.

Plus that Gavin Belson guy keeps trying to jam his horrible signature into his products.

When I was in 5th grade my mom tried to have a teacher fired for something and I was teased about it every day until I went to high school in a different town years later. This poor kid will never hear the end of it.

There's a girl in my kid's class named Eighmee. Pronounced "Amy". I thought it was weird but there's a street in a neighboring town named Eighmee Street.

That's how I view it too. If you can consume something without financing further harm then the author doesn't matter. Already own a Niel Gaiman book? Feel free to keep reading it. Pirated some metal music from a band that turned out to be neo-nazis? Go for it. Want to read Lovecraft? He's long dead and his estate doesn't seem to be supporting racism, so buy as much as you want. Want to check out Mein Kampf from the library? I will have questions when you return it, but you aren't hurting anyone by reading it. Just understand the mindset that made them bad people and don't let them sway your outlook to match.

But what if we flatten the cake and fry it in butter instead of baking it? Surely that would be healthy, right?

Hang on. It's a little bland. I'd better pile more butter and liquified sugar on top.

Anybody know how to determine if your router's affected? Mine isn't in the list, but is actually older than those models. I've been having a lot of Internet issues lately, so now I'm nervous.

Classic "You could buy a PlayStation if you didn't pay union dues!" message. And with AI art to make it extra gross.

Exactly. I was in the same boat as OP because my GPA was trash. I probably missed some opportunities because of it when trying to land my first job. But after I got one in my field, I was never asked for my GPA again, or even evidence that I went to college. Employers only want to know what you did in your last job, and only default to grades or diplomas if you have no relevant work history.

That makes sense

Is that a racist term? I'd only ever heard it as an elongated version of 'cum'.

Yeah, I actually like this analogy. I would certainly never post it to LinkedIn, but the concept of building solutions to issues instead of searching for opportunities after building a tool is sound.

Is it possible to do something like this with a newer router? My wireless-G router is finally dying after 20 years, and if I need to upgrade it'd be nice to wrap it all in one.

With a ring light and phone setup? That man is live streaming his feet.

Wow, you did a good job. I would have assumed those spots were all natural.

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard this I'd have enough nickles to fund a studio and make HL3 myself.

Maybe my eyes are gliding over it, but does anyone know what the actual difference is? They've got relative "+80" to "-80", but no indication of what those units are. Would I be 1 kg lighter between the highest and lowest spot or .0001 grams lighter?

Weird

Veep is tough to watch now. Even the zaniest most over-the-top scandals in the show are absolutely tame compared to reality. It's almost boring to watch. Every episode is, "If this gets out my career is over!" when the exact same thing has since happened with a Republican politician and nobody batted an eye.
