  • I supported a production line as recently as 2015 that had an industrial paint mixer that still ran on NT4 Workstation

    • Can't we just start calling it "Formerly Twitter" instead?

  • The only acceptable answer

    • Rental giant Hertz dumps EVs, including Teslas, for gas cars

    Jump

  • Yeah... I was thinking that self insuring would be the only possible way this could make sense really.

    It just never occurred to me before that car rental companies might do that.

    • That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says

    • WebMD forcing employees back to office. "We aren’t asking or negotiating at this point. We’re informing"

  • It's a bit like if Metallica had just embraced Napster

  • The vast majority of land in the US is still completely undeveloped.

    Jump

  • The thing I find interesting is that these vehicles should be covered by insurance that would cover repairs after deductible.

    I don't understand why there would be any difference between EV and ICE in that regard.

    • Can I pre-install Ubuntu on an SSD?

  • I've run my Plex server on wifi for the last 7 years and it works fine.

    • You're tearing me apart!

  • Mine's been doing it too even though she knows how much I absolutely despise tiktok... There's a reason I don't have that app... Lol

    And the fucking fake voices... Ugh.... Such shit.

    Like, usually I use my phone with the volume completely off and I don't even want to turn it on for most of the videos I see on here or wherever but it seems like for all this tiktok garbage you need sound to even determine why the hell someone shared it with you.

    • A boomer retirement bomb is about to blow up America's economy

    • Honestly

  • I disagree that the overtime is expected. It's a benefit available to them that isn't available to the general public.

    I also strongly disagree about the relative "danger" of their job.

    My dad was a firefighter for 30 years. He got paid less than most cops and faced significantly more danger on every shift than most cops.

    Fuck the police. They were shitty since their inception.

    Full stop

    • Honestly

    Jump

  • There's lots of places in the US where cops are paid significantly above median wages for the region as their base pay and then they're also eligible to earn time and a half in nearly as much overtime as they could possibly want on top of being allowed to work extra side jobs in uniform for third parties.

    They're also typically one of the largest parts of most major cities' budgets.

    Fuck cops. They are overpaid if anything for what little they fucking do.

  • Pay is definitely not the problem and there's plenty of places in the US where I'd argue they're overpaid, in fact.

    • Elon Musk's X claims it's now a 'video-first platform' as it tries to reverse an advertiser exodus that has cost it billions in value

  • The codec was quite popular for a decent little stretch there... Far more so and for far longer than the circuit city product.

    • Trump fraud trial: Trump intends to deliver part of closing argument himself, say sources

    Jump

  • That's a shitty thing to say.

    I just hope you learn to spell.

    • ‘He doesn’t give a damn about people:’ Biden campaign hits Trump comments on economy crashing

    Jump

  • That's a super childish perspective.
