Colorblindness? I have to ask my SO all the time what color things are

Can jesus microwave a burrito so hot that even he couldn’t eat it?

Well I’m gonna be that guy… It’s overdue.

Also sometimes I eat cereal after dinner and tell myself its better than grabbing sugary stuff for dessert.

Thats fair. When I had a smaller phone I did use a case. It took me awhile to get used to not using one, I have to grip it differently to prevent slipping.

$450. Its a pixel 8. Admittedly I have also considered a case just to streamline the shape, I really really hate how the camera bumps out the back. It really was designed with the expectation people would use a case.

I have been scolded by my SO for going caseless, but I also hate how rubber ones turn my pocket inside out as I retrieve my phone sometimes, and I dont drop it. If I was prone to being more clumsy I might concede

I dont even use a case. The very idea that phones are sold in a state of fragility that I am required to add another layer to it is bullshit. There are some very minor scratches as a result but nothing noteworthy. The real reason I go caseless is this shit is too bulky already, phones keep getting bigger and I want them smaller.

Duly noted, will look into it, thanks!

I just switched to linux and totally forgot about this. Do I really not need one? 99% of what I do is steam gaming anyway so I’m not too worried, worst case I just format and reinstall, but still…

I gotta say its shocking that powerpoint is your go to for image editing like that. Like, its kind of impressive but wow that seems like a super difficult way to do it.

Its sort of a thing. Pine phones use open source linux. I think the main problem is development of apps to run on a linux phone isn’t popular so its pretty bare bones as a system. Havent used one myself though.

Dude what shitty weed are you smoking that you gotta cut it? With nip?! And lavender?!?! Fuckin break out the potpourri next we just gonna smoke whatever lights on fire holy shit

Fuck exclusives that shit is cancer

No, but they are a popular mainstream company for those who are less tech savvy. The more of these large companies that do this the more linux gamong will grow, developers will see a need to pay attention to making games work natively on linux. You can hate HP and still see this as a good thing.

Different industry for me, but we just call this professional development. As long as whatever is being read or studied can be related to improving your value to the company, performance at the job, or even learning to perform another job at the company, its not only allowed but encouraged. This of course comes with the caveat that you still need to get all your work done, which it sounds like you do. If anyone hassled me I would just say “this is part of my professional development” and that would be the end of it. I even enter this stuff in my performance reviews, and at my prior job it was expected to have something (and they would budget for me to take a training or class, typically of my choosing).

Dammit but I thought I was as young as I feel!

Wait… That’s still old. Shit.

Somehow this is less surprising than him being married in the first place.

Zuck is married?!

Absolutely. Always be open to changing jobs if you need to, and always keep that option as a back up plan even if things are going well. Know that if you find a new job it may fix some things while introducing new problems, there is always some risk to doing so. If you aren’t in a rush to get out try to line something up that makes the change worthwhile - get a promotion out of it, or at least some pay raise or other benefit. Often times annual raises suck enough that many people need to get a new job to find a decent pay bump anyway, so it’s good to be looking for that. If you haven’t interviewed in awhile line a few up as practice too, so when you find something you’re more serious about it will go smoothly.

So my general understanding is that you can use a magnet to create an electrical current. Its like it pushes the electrons, like a paddle pushing water. So they coil a bunch of wire around a magnet and rotate the magnet, which moves the electrons in the wire and that gets you electrical power. But you need something to push that magnet around, so you attach that to a big ass fan and use steam to push the fan. That’s your turbine. Nuclear power is just using a hot rock to make the steam. Hydroelectric power uses a river to push the turbine. Wind power is doing the same thing, just uhhh, with wind.

To shreds you say?
