I don't have it this bad, but I certainly have major anxiety during interviews. I was interviewing for a position at my current company and I blanked on what wget did. Literally a utility I used frequently and I completely blanked on i

"Lots of magical story elements that just poof out of nowhere at just the right time." Have you read Foundation recently? That is literally how almost half (or more) of the conflicts in the first book get resolved!

Electric toothbrushes have become more affordable, but they are still pretty expensive, especially for people who are low income.

I worked with a group whose office was basically a big supply area converted into an office to hold around 7 cubicles. Zero windows, and while I am sure the HVAC system cycled in fresh air, I doubt it was enough because by lunch time I was

I don't think this downplays Oculus, but they also announced today that they are going to start scaling back Facebook integration with Oculus and start allowing other login methods besides Facebook. Unfortunately outside of Tweets, thi

Our version of a persistent virtual space was never going to be like fiction. There will be 3 or more competing metaverses, none of which have any interoperability.

Exactly. The PC case market is actually really competitive these days. It seems like new high quality cases at a good cost are coming out on a monthly basis at this point. Teenage Engineering makes cool stuff and this case looks nice, but I

I got a Sony 2 years ago and haven't had any add issues. Outside of being picky on what brands to choose from, the next best thing is to just never use the "smart" features and rely on a third party box like Roku/Apple T

I haven't played a single player Ubisoft game is years, but they sent out these exact same emails with Far Cry 4 (2014). The only difference is the messaging: "I am the mean dictator and I am still in power because you wont play t

This is pretty common in a lot of blue states. It's been a thing in Illinois for years, and it's been getting louder for the last year and a half. The gist is the rural area's feel underrepresented compared to the metropolita

Looks like you were getting down voted a bit for this a bit, but it's unfortunately true. I am not a fan of Valorants anti-cheat system, but so far it has been effective. It's extra unfortunate because it's effectiveness is i

Or if you are in the office, they are in their case during meetings or when someone is talking to you at your desk. That's at least what I did when I was still in the office, and I used first gen Airpods which had worse battery life.

I went to 3 weddings this year, and each couple being married met on dating apps. If anything my single friends biggest complaint is that apps are the defacto way of dating, even before the pandemic. Your options were basically apps, mutual

My understanding is that the majority of users aren't even able to upgrade currently. If your average user tries to upgrade from the Windows Update menu, they will just see if their computer is technically able to upgrade or not (based

I am willing to admit being wrong on this. I limited by my experience being only with the American system. From the inside looking out, it is very easy to fall into the trap of thinking fixing this system is impossible.

Doubtful. Just think about the toilet paper shortage; a common household item that never would have had a supply shortage if people just maintained their regular buying patterns. Now think of masks; a non-household item that a small percent

That's why I don't think it's possible. The priorities and operation of the government change whenever the administration/majority changes. Having decades of consistency like that just isn't going to happen.

I agree to an extent, but at the end of the day it's unrealistic. The government is an entity made up of people with their own biases, problems, and their job on the line if they fuck up. I think there is a meme of honorable government

I would like to think that is something that would be acceptable to a fringe minority. Mandates are one thing; forced detention is like multiple steps further in the wrong direction.

Thank you for clarifying. This is why I don't know what the right answer is on the messaging. The US government, and nearly every government, has a history of lying to people. The other side of the coin though is that during those earl

Seriously. The vendiagram of people who would be for interment of a minority they distrust or a war for retribution, and the people currently rallying against mask/vaccine's would almost be a perfect circle.

I think it's also worth pointing out that even with them saying masks aren't effective for the public, there was still a run on masks. I don't have the exact date, but when I looked for n95's at my local hardware store i

I have a lot of friends in ATC, and it's similar there. It's anecdotal, but I talked to two of them things morning. One said the sickout is indeed real, while the other says it absolute isn't. They are literally on other side

I don't think that's an option. The ship has been moored for 34 years, and hasn't been maintained well during that time.

This story was interesting to me because growing up rabies was always something we kind of worried about as kids; it seemed like something that was common and to worry about. I distinctly remember people talking about how fatal it was if yo

As someone who knows a lot of police officers, it just sounds like the poster also knows a lot of police officers.

Based on your previous posts, this seems like one of those times where you could admit you were wrong and explain why.
