I'm embarrassed it took me so long to realize this. Somebody explained that to me recently, within the context of a conversation about layoffs. That CEO had no prior CEO experience, was only there for less than a year, and was part of the board of directors. In hindsight it seems so obvious.

Incredible! That's more sentences than Trump has even finished.

1. find any GH repo.
2. start a new issue.
3. drop image onto new issue.
4. copy URL.
5. close new issue page because you have your image cdn link, which is what you came for.

Or just commit them to a git repo. GH won't harass you unless you have over 50mb file sizes or a repo over 1GB https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/about-large-files-on-github

Or publish them to cloudflare pages, which has great file size limits and unlimited bandwidth https://mattsayar.com/why-does-cloudflare-pages-have-such-a-generous-free-tier/

Managers audit those calls. Source: I've worked in three call centers.

I had a pager that I didn't want to pay the bill on when I went out of the country. I called them to turn the service off while I was gone. Instead of turning it off they just quit charging me. I realized that when I got back and had a bunch of pages. That continues for several years until I traded it away, still working, still not costing anything.

Sure, but then you need a PayPal account, and fuck PayPal.

There was a time when Discover would give you checks that you could use to transfer debt from other cards or accounts, which had a promotional rate of 0% for the life of that debt. I deposited one check into my checking account that filled up my discover card credit limit, then used that money to pay off my higher rate Discover Card debt. Then I did that a few more times until my entire Discover Card balance was 0%. This made my credit spending look amazing, because I had such a huge amount coming in and going out each month, and I soon started getting offers for much better card rates. Then I paid off my other credit cards while that debt sat there accruing no interest penalty.

Also, the way the accounts worked was higher debt would be paid off first, so until I fully paid off that account, there was always some 0% debt below all the higher % debt.

TL;DR: Discover Card let me my entire credit card debt through my checking account, making my credit score look wonderful and at the same time dropping my interest rate to 0%.

When I worked in a city with a warm climate I liked it. Now that I work from home in the suburbs and a cold climate I hate it.

That is awesome!

I love how this so closely mimics nationalism and its assumption that somebody came from somewhere else.

Just join in. That's what speakerphone is for.

As somebody who just watched a team implement MySQL for an app that only supported Postgres, I'd go with Postgres.

I never want to use MySQL again. Postgres or SQLite for relational databases.

I have the same type of thing. An alias that creates a tempdir that is based on the date, then cd's into it. Then a cron job that finds dirs that are older then N days old and deletes them. I use these for most of my scratch work. Having several days to look back at what you did and know when you did it is so nice.

Exactly. They have to get as much killing in as possible before time runs out.

At the same time that human consciousness is a form of awareness and sensitivity and understanding, it’s also a form of ignorance. Our ordinary, everyday consciousness leaves out more than it takes in—things that are terribly important. For example, it leaves out things that would if we did know them—allay our anxieties and fears and horrors. If we could extend our awareness to those things that we leave out, we would experience a deep inner peace, because we would all know the one thing we aren’t supposed to know.

Is "ricing" not originally related to customised cars from street racing or something?

It is not, as I learned 18d ago https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12165688

Riced out is an adjective denigrating a badly customized sports car, "usually with oversized or ill-matched exterior appointments". ... Examples of "rice burner" used literally, meaning one who burns rice or rice fields, as in stubble burning, date to 1917. In 1935 it appeared in a US newspaper caption with a racial connotation, disparaging East Asian people. ... In some cases, users of the term assert that it is not offensive or racist, or else treat the term as a humorous, mild insult rather than a racial slur.
