  • Both good suggestions, thanks for the ideas

  • Hmm...i do have a raspberry pi that isn't being used... Since it's asp.net should be Linux compatible... Not a bad idea

  • Well it's also a learning project as through a series of events I am technically a software developer in job title who got thrown into a c# code base with databases after doing a python boot camp for 9 weeks and have no mentor to tell me what I'm doing wrong on professional projects.

    • People complain that it's poor design that humans eat and breath through the same pipe(throat). Are there any animals which don't though?

  • Wait, so fish inhale water... Some process takes place separating the water and oxygen atoms and then they exhale the carbon dioxide and hydrogen out their gills? Or am I still completely wrong?

  • Very interesting thanks... Now to do more research because this has buged me

    • What are the most cynical corporations that currently exist?

    Jump

  • Atleast on America that is by law if publicly traded. Let's say a company discovers something that amazing, say cure for cancer and decides they are going to give it out for free for the benefit of mankind. They can be sued and will likely lose. Only real defense would be they thought the goodwill from giving away for free would earn the shareholders more money through goodwill towards the company. A smaller scale version of this would be like a farm raising animals in non-optimal conditions (for profit but nicer to the animals like free-range instead of cages). They could argue the customers will be willing to pay a premium for that.

    If not publicly traded they can do whatever they want. If governmental they should have a goal or mission statement that states what their intent is(usually it's not profit) but if it's publically traded legally their only motive is profit to the shareholders.

    • Why don't we cook on car engines?

    Jump

  • What you can do safely is get a pack of cookie dough, wait till it's summer time(hotter the better), be in Texas, Arizona or similar state, put cookie dough on pan and leave on your dash board, go to work.

    When you get out of work you'll have fresh baked cookies and your car will smell amazing!

    • Trump gave Europe three weeks to sign off on Ukraine "surrender": MEP

  • Taiwan is important culturally to China for history reasons. But it's much important financially and technoly wise due to tsmc. That was the true point of the chips act so us technology wouldn't be so reliant of Taiwan but I doubt Trump understands that.

    • Teen son (16) has stopped wearing deodorant cause it's "not manly"...

    Jump

  • At one point in my past I was the "stinky coworker". I wore deodorant, I showered daily, I washed my clothes after every wearing. My boss did have THAT conversation with me, and started using cologne to cover it. Don't think it fixed it but it covered it enough that I kept the job for a bit.

    Eventually my mother, who I was living with, bought a new washer / dryer. My stinkiness factor went to effectively nothing. I'm pretty sure there was some mold/bacteria/whatever in the old washer that was causing the stink.

    It may not be the stinky persons fault, and they may not even know what's causing it.

    • New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code

    Jump

  • I say you're wrong. If in dacade we are stilling complaining about the same dev, then we have failed to teach. In a decade that junior dev should be a senior and probably better than me. If they are still junior either they don't have the ability to progress or I failed them. Most likely I failed them.....m
