That is EXACTLY what happens with me. Every single time my calls involve people in different places. Why would I bother if I'm just going to be talking to people who are at their home or halfway across the world?

Yeah, we found out about RTO via the news before our VP hears anything about it. Erode Trust is the next LP and will likely replace "Strike to be earth's best employer"

Oh fabulous! I smoked my first chicken about a week ago and it was fantastic. Didn't brine mine either. I think I did 225 until it hit 165 internal and that was it. The whole family loved it.

Oh right I forgot all about snaps. Yeah I haven't used it as a dedicated desktop since probably 2006. It's generally all server usage in the cloud for me these days, which basically means everything is disposable and I couldn't care less about the full OS in general. I really do need to get back on Linux for personal use though. I don't really care for running VMs on windows for my self hosted stuff.

What did I miss? Ubuntu used to be the shit.

Giving my cats a new box always puts a smile on my face.

This is the position I'm in. My leadership (multiple levels up) gave us approvals to move away from Seattle (but not too far) after Jassy unequivocally stated that WFH wasn't going away and it was up to teams to decide how they wanted to do it.

So, I bought my first house for my family 90 min away without traffic. Then he swings in with his fragile little ego a year later and tells us "oh, you riff better in office" and forces everyone to come back. Zero data. Nothing of quantifiable value. Lies to our faces. This whole thing is about real estate. 100%, no doubt about it.

I have been VERY openly vocal since then that I will NOT be back in the office more than once a week and will leave if they force it on me.

It's probably the wrong move politically, but I'm pissed off and if I can set an example for the kids who have since joined as newbies, things will be better for them.

But I now have zero issues telling managers 3-4 levels up in public meetings that I won't be in the office specifically because I don't want to be. Fuck the high horse he rode in on.

You (Amazon leadership) wanna demand we use data to prove every single decision we make and completely dominate the company culture with that? Fine. I'll keep using that argument against it. If I'm fired, I will have zero trouble finding a new gig. In the meantime, I will sit at my home office and ignore every single email I get complaining I don't badge into the office 3 times a week and have a 2.5 hour drive each way on those days.

Yes, I moved with the expectation that I'd be doing that once a week permanently. I'm fine with that. So are ALL my managers. Jassy can bite me. I'm really angry if you can't tell.

I could not have said it better <3

Me neither, when it comes to printing. I do a lot of casting in resin though. But don't know shit when it comes to printing with it. FDM is my pride and joy there.

0.8, my friend. It'll change it once again. And then you'll try 1mm and have the chunkiet, yet most beautiful, prints ever. It's like pixelation in real life.

But but but boxes take SO long to print! (I still love making them though. Great recommendation.)

Right so I love resin stuff and despise sanding so I've tried a lot of things. First, sanding is actually great. Miserable process, but once you have a single piece that you like, it's pretty trivial to mold and cast it again and again and again. Does take some equipment though for quality, repeatable results.

If you go with sanding, grab some micro mesh pads. They're great.

Some kind of resin

Am Amazon employee (programmer) and can confirm. The shenanigans being pulled right now are absolutely bullshit and as somebody who's been at the company for a long time and has generally enjoyed the fast paced, high pressure atmosphere I'm real close to saying "fuck you" to some of my favorite people.

Note, my experience is probably far from the norm, but my org has nothing but wonderful individuals and they've fought really hard to keep the flexibility we've had since long before covid.

Fuck you Andy Jassy. We all despise you.

100% with you there. Video is the absolute last place I look for real information.
