Oh. It sounded like that’s what you were describing - somebody came to help, and most everyone else ignored it

by roflc0ptic 4y ago
Well - how many of them did you need to help you? Something like this occurred at my buddhist temple during a meditation, except it was one of the members who collapsed. Someone went over help and the rest of us... couldn't do anything

I’ve recently started working on a non-trivially distributed system and boy this rings true for me! We’ve got limited facility for integration testing, so I’ve become increasingly fanatical about testing every piece I can in each component.

Want to note that you're putting words into my mouth: > the lesson you seem to have taken from it is that you were the oppressed one I never said I was oppressed. You've invented that whole cloth. If you find yourself thinking

Right, I'm not claiming it's ~ cancel culture ~, it is however anti-heretic behavior. See other comment; she's a professor and aspiring public intellectual. This combination of "I'm an authority so you have to liste

She's a professor and aims to be a public intellectual; she's written a book. I really think this in and of itself is invitation for dialogue. Also, our relationship was been fine talking about politics when I agreed with her, but

Yeah, I'm 33 and I'm wondering if I'm going to find it too grueling. The detail I'm omitting is that half the team already lives in NY, most of the rest live in driving distance, so there are actually only two of us flyi

Our fully remote 10 person team has a very brief daily standup, and 20 minute standdown. We also have a biweekly demo to which we invite leadership. I sent out an anonymous survey recently, and everyone wanted to keep doing each element of

Coughs notably persist beyond the illness that causes them - they can become self perpetuating by causing inflammation that in turn makes you cough. I've found taking cough drops is a great way to break this cycle. So... yeah, persiste

I mostly do, but then I have large gaps in employment.

I'd comment that we don't know why so many job changes, so whether or not they're _planning_ on leaving is conjecture.

by roflc0ptic 5y ago
Do you feel like that number of job changes has limited your career opportunities? I had a string of years where I changed jobs several times for fairly good reasons (substantially better paying jobs, family illness, spent a year trying to

Eh, wasn't clear - was looking for specific brothels.

by roflc0ptic 5y ago
On a tangential note, I recently started wondering about how legal brothels work, where prostitution is legal, what do legal brothels charge, etc, and google was supremely unhelpful. I don't know if these things are just so shady they

Administrators and researchers at a local cancer research hospital were fired for this, too. Could someone explain what the perceived harm is? I really don't understand - isn't cancer research published in accessible journals? Isn
