Star Citizen is a meme, I cannot take anyone seriously that tells me they spent $300 on ships in that game. I do not have time to play a buggy alpha and hope for a stable release in few years, while opening my wallet.

Supply chain is still struggling. Chip shortage is still a problem. I cannot buy a car at a reasonable price. I'm in manufacturing and our company is constantly rising prices due to shipping issues and high cost to ship overseas. This

I'm all for CIPRO being used in such situations. I would take my chances and use it myself even though I had an awful reaction. I do have a problem with it being used for "suspected" UTI or as a first line medication. Also, t

Scandals such as this one are fueling anti-vax movements. I remember learning about physician who found that a drug was causing a massive increase in heart attacks, informed manufacturer, and was ignored. They went on a smear campaign and h

The whole "cancel culture" concept has literally be around for years, it was just marketed now and used for politics. Humans have been cancelling people and things for eternity. People with extreme views that did not align with th

So, I have worked in many different fields, sometimes earning minimum wage before becoming a software dev. I have left a job on the spot once in my life. It was a hot summer day and I was detailing a car in a shop without AC. My boss kept h

This doesn't make any sense......gaming hardware for office work sucks and I used to be an avid gamer. Gaming chairs are garbage. Gaming keyboards do not have much ergonomics in mind, there are much better and comfortable options from

I actually talked to a guy that drove as a "team" but really just solo. He was proud he drove 48 hours non-stop and made more money.

EU is way ahead of the US when it comes to trucking safety. US is a weird place sometimes. Business/Money trumps safety. Regulations are often met with huge push back even when they can potentially save lives.

I used to be friends with a few truck drivers, and all of them were making money because all of them were cheatings the books non-stop. It was basically a job requirement. Drive 48 hours? No problem. This has been made a lot more difficult

Seriously, the government should have experts on hand who can translate tech into concepts they can understand. This is unacceptable. Imagine HTML is a TV in Social Security office. The way the storage of SS numbers was designed, is that th

I do CRUD stuff mostly at work but I always research things to improve. A good programmer can make a huge difference in CRUD applications. Things like proper relational database design can save a lot of issues down the road. Using good OOP

I hate Reddit mostly for its hive mind. For example: There is a video of someone blasting music and neighbor clearly being upset. The offender calls the lady Karen. Then, all the comments are bashing so called "Karen". Even though

I don't have a solution. I highly enjoyed programming in school, I was learning non-stop. Everyday was filled with new concepts, most people around me eager to learn.....then I entered the work force, red tape, politics, plus I cannot

I actually wrote a paper on the US healthcare some time ago. I didn't look at Taiwan but looked at European nations. US outcomes were poorer and the care was more expensive. I don't know any other first world nation, where managin

Why do people keep voting republican? It isn't the parties that are the issue. It is the money in politics. You could go back 100 years and find both parties passing laws and marketing them as beneficial...but in reality they benefited

In my experience, I also need slower days otherwise I will simply burn out. I love having days full of code, but this is not sustainable. After 8 hours of coding and focused work, I typically need a day or two of recovery. I still can perfo

This article totally misses the point of investing in S&P 500. Hamster started trading in June. I'm sure there are hedge fund managers who can beat S&P500 in the short term. The point of S&P500 is a long term, relatively sa

Sounds like giving up one addiction for another. But I guess buying laptops yearly is better for your health than smoking.

Tobacco addiction cannot be compared to something like opiates. The cost is often on the individual as smokers normally work. Opiates make people spiral out of control quickly and the dependency is so high they will literally do anything fo
