Starburstius sounds a bit wild

Yeah most roles I have done have required that kind of checkup but usually the only parts companies have to say is start date, end date and eligible for rehire, and as far as I’ve seen you basically have to do some criminal shit to get classed as entirely ineligible for rehire

Aliens is pretty wild like that, saw it when I was maybe 9 or 10, the concept of perfect intelligent killing machines with acid for blood and corpos wanting to smuggle them home was too much for me and left me doing an OCD check out my window before bed in case the queen was just tromping around outside, now I have the blu-ray collection but I still struggle to play alien isolation, too immersive

Any of the major banks consider breaches as cost of doing business at their scale compared to smaller banks. My bank prides itself on never having a breach, and it is insufferable to develop code for, but I guess it’s the price of security

As someone who had to support resold Hughes net networking I can tell you that satellite internet is great at downloading large bulks of information, otherwise you run into a problem of physics, adding 88,000 miles of round trip to your internet connectivity(1 hop to space then back to Hughes network gateway on earth, then back to space and then to you) are going to be super latency, gaming is not recommended nor is streaming, it can also be hella spotty as any weather events at your location or at hughes(which I think is in North Carolina?) will impede the line of sight needed between the dishes. I’ve never heard a good experience with satellite.

Everything has been a downward slide our entire lives which means it also rolls downhill for all the future generations too until someone can yank back on the economic flightstick and get us out of this dive.

In my experience if you have a toxic boss you clash with, and HR is unwilling to deal with the problem then they are complicit, which is a far too frequent scenario, if at all possible it sounds like a new job would be the best option for your mental health while you talk to a therapist about the situation to find coping tools in the meantime

I imagine my mother was chucking any that looked off or more likely cutting off the parts that were bad and using the rest.

Main one is cucumbers, after my generous neighbors in my childhood gave us 2 large paper grocery bags of cucumbers and my mother used them in everything for the next month I was done for life, can’t stand them raw, but I will eat pickles all day.

The other would be raw tomatoes, the seed slime is not good for my autistic mouth

Did anyone here use the L shift +O shorthand for load? I feel like I never see it mentioned anywhere

Sneakernet was great back then

I am also this old. C64 for life

My first computer had the following to get a directory listing of a floppy: LOAD”$”,8 That’s how old I am

I am thanks to a combination of my learning how credit should actually be used and careful budgeting as well as an excellent choice to get into information technology. I can actually support my adult son as well as take care of his brother and my disabled wife and living what would’ve largely been considered middle class by their standard. At this point they were getting mortgage calls for juggling payments and spending wrecklessly while living in a double wide mobile home in the rural appalachias.

Probably some overlap but I have to assume people who have donated to his election coffers are also promoted to the top of his pick lists

Similar happened to me as well, got sucker punched by my bully at the lockers in jr high, they tried to give me out of school suspension, which lasted for a day, my mom got me back in chewing out the principal

Actually it does, if one is objectively worse, then the other has to be at least the smallest percent better, that’s just simple word comprehension.
