By going beyond they are rejecting 'the truth'. christians read The old testiment looking for jesus but otyerwise superceeded.

It is very hard to time your trip so that you get there when everything is done. those who try it either have overcooked food or have to drive around for a while after they get there for the meal to finish.

in the end it works but not well enough to do it. Even truckers who eat on the road find separate appliances better.

Mat 22:30 Geneva1599 'For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen' [don't you just love those spellings?]

Looks to me like christian God doesn't have gender. But language tends to force it even when not intended.

not all christians will agree with my interpritation but some will.

According to muslims. christians reject the muslims: not related except taking a few names. jews reject both as only taking the name of their god.

How do you turn it up to 11?

Those were in order (it was 15 years ago so i don't recall if all existed but at least some did). Probably ip range but who knows

I hosted my own for a while. We could never send to gmail though and they are saddly too important.

Celsius is defined at the arbitrary standard pressure, different pressure values change how water acts (this is very noticeable at 100C - boiling). Kelvin steps are defined from Celsius. Even the speed of light which is constant is still defined in terms of an arbitrary time unit.

Your experience is different than mine then. I suggest you get out and find other places where management isn't so bad.

I've worked in a number of places. Some better managed than others. The fact that I see this variation is why union "management is always bad" talking points just turn me off.

What I don't understand is why you don't see the obvious downsides of unions. The small cost to my paycheck is nothing. However the focus on seniority over objective who is better at their job, and refusing to allow tracking metrics (I legally probably shouldn't even say that much about the contract I'm thinking of: to those who want evidence I'm not allowed to give it) about he is better has always bothered me.

The union is not the only thing standing between me and the CEO. I can find a new job. I have done it before. Overall I find my company treats me well - not perfect, but better than other places I've worked. My power to walk away and find a new job gives me a lot more power than the union would. (in fact in many unions I'd have less power because then I'd be required to work only for that union and so if the union has a mod boss I can't do anything about it)

I am not legally a professional engineer. However I do have a degree from my universities school of engineering. I could go through the paperwork to get that professional engineer certification, it just hasn't been a useful thing for me to do. (professional engineer doesn't really cover computer science topics even though my code can kill just as much as a bridge collapsing could kill)

I've been in offices where I was told look for the union guy before plugging my network cable, don't do it when he was looking.

There is a constant stream of hate on corporate management here, most of it without any evidence given. I want some evidence in return. Not that it exists, but that it is anywhere near as bad as people are saying.

Perfect evidence here. People in unions refuse to acknowledge all the problems outsiders have with unions. My observations are just invalid and insulted.

One more reason I want nothing to do with unions.

I'm not in a union. Once in a while unions try to convince me I should organize, but everything I see says if I vote to organize it will not be a new union that I could have power in. Instead I will be forced into one of the large existing unions that I will be a tiny player in and unable to get a high leadership position in.

Besides, I'm an engineer. I can lead people, but that isn't what I want to do. Thus even if I could run for a leadership position I find that a thankless job that I don't want. I have only so much time on earth and so I have to choose what I spend my time on.

Unions have earned their bad reputation in the US. Union management is more evil that corporate management, and corporate management is not very good.

Yes corporate management isn't always good, but they are not nearly as bad as union management makes them out to be. Meanwhile I've seen the sillyness that unions enforce (I can't plug in a network cable - that is a union job) and I want nothing to do with them. Unions need to clean up their own act before trying to get me to join. I'm not against unions, but the way they work in the US I'm very against. Start looking in the mirror and seeing what the real world is like and not your strawman vision of what you think my issues are!

Unions in other countries work very different. If you live in Europe, you have no idea what unions in the US are like, so stop.

I have dual 800 CCA batteries (which my mechanic just measured at 680 each). The engine is a 7.3 liter diesel though (best engine Ford ever had according to many), and it needs a lot of power to turn over cold. I drove it about 2000 miles last year - I bike most places but sometimes I need to drive and a few of those trips need a truck.

Wired USB. If I get some time I'm going to put PS/2 or maybe ADB in it as well just for the fun of it.

(Just in case this is a serious question to someone, 60% refers to the keyboard size, indicating what buttons I have and don't have compared to a normal keyboard)

Like you I find value in discussions here overall. However there is a lot to not like. and sometimes I just have to laugh at how bad the echo chamber is. And other times at how unwilling people are to admit how bad the echo chamber is.

I suggest you get off of Lemmy then. While there is some good things here, the echo chamber is even worse than the Trump one (which is saying a lot)
