The real problem becomes when bad or non scientific advice gets regurgitated to people over and over.

Firefighers/EMTs/Paramedics are the true heroes. That's a "don't touch" zone.

Don't blame it on CA. KKK types have been moving to northern Idaho for decades now. They tried to do a terrorism as a pride march a couple years back and got caught because the police found so many U Haul trucks in the area to be suspicious and checked out a few.

Easiest: My brother in a field in front of his trailer with beers in hand. Hardest: Destination wedding on an island. I disliked it.

Therapy is just littered with bad therapists, that do more harm than good and give the practice a bad name.

This has long been my experience. Although I believe that great therapists are out there, I have yet to encounter someone who didn't blame me for the problems and cause me to feel rejected. The last person I went to looked over the intake testing and told me that nobody would want me as a client. No joke. I convinced him to let me stay but nothing happened and I burned out after 3 months or so and stopped going.

Part of me is ok with this in that any avenue to get mental health resources can be better than nothing. What worries me is that people will use ChatGPT for this sort of thing and these models will not be good help.

Back in the day, you scanned the disk. Folder by folder, file by file. If what you were looking for appeared early in your search, you were golden. It turns out, though, that scanning a filesystem is computationally very complex and takes a long time. Not something you might notice so much on a PC, but something that you would notice on a server. So, instead, you want to index the disk, slowly and over time, and then you search against the index. This works well in a server, but no so much on a workstation. Well there's really no difference between Windows 11 and Windows Server 2024 except for some fine tuning of resource allocation. Essentially, you get the very (for desktops) ineffective server version.

This is me. Grad school was about interest not work.

Sorry I work in tech and may take things for granted.

Guess we’ll cut food stamps but tell people who can afford to to get a watch

Your compatibility layers can be 64b, however, and support those 32b games that don't even run natively on that hardware anyway.

Those are some reasonable parts, congratulations.

Helpful to know that the country was markedly different before and after each of these events. Think of things before and after WWII, for instance. We will experience similar over the next 20 - 40 years.

Of course it was. I had it.

I have thought about this over the years. If I am in a loop, it's "which PhD am I doing this lifetime?" or "so I guess I am going to be the world's best cabinetmaker this round."

holy cow, I lived the afternoon half of that

OOOH Look at Mister FANCY PANTS with his dial up internet. You must be rich, Mister Fancy Pants.

I think I had AOL at the time...

Why is the pickle circumcised?

It will turn out that the corporation exists in Nevada due to some sort of tax break years ago.

People will often say that they need a job. I don’t think that most repeat that because they instantly understand their mistake.
