It is definitely an attitude thing. However, you shouldn’t be focusing on improving your soft skills so much as it’s improving your mindset, and then the soft skills will just flow like hot butter. This is what I tell my friends: Don’t see

What’s your experience like at other storage outfits? I only ask because your post is a bit like singing praises for Cinnabon that they make their own dough. The things that you mentioned are standard storage company activities. Checksum-al

People buy roof top-style tents and don’t use them, although I don’t judge other people like that. But absolutely no one leaves bed-style tents in their bed to look cool.

A (truck bed) tent like this on a regular truck costs about $200 to $300. Spending as much as $3,000 for a regular truck would get you a fully fiberglass or aluminum camper shell or a collapsible roof-top tent (sits entirely above your truc

Honestly from the way you are describing your workflow, it sounds like you haven’t actually dipped into parametric design and you’re still creating your models very manually. Let’s say you have a hole in a part and you need it to be a certa

I think it is because most of those things are just regular sysadmin things and homelab more refers to setting up hardware or software that you wouldn’t normally find at work. As for your actual problem, a lot of ports are blocked by ISPs b

I run a more mundane setup using the most possible boring choices (lol) and it's been reliable. I occasionally restart random things and pull network cables to fuck with it to make sure that it can recover. * Hardware: A regular but sm

Personally if I start eating less, my appetite also goes down. But ngl, it’s real hard at first but if I can hold it together for a day or two, my body starts vibing with it or sumthin’ and I stop feeling hungry. It’s then real easy to eat

They’re not but there were ENG-style cameras with interchangeable lenses and 422 output too. There were a lot of options between DSLR and an ARRI. Still are.

Buying an inkjet printer should be like buying a circular saw. Not everything needs a circular saw but if you need one, you need one. The people who actually need an inkjet printer are people who do a lot of crafts or projects who need quic

Yo there were way more video cameras back then than just the Canon 5D and ARRI. News organizations, smaller productions and documentary makers were not just whipping around expensive ARRI’s. Sony and Panasonic made a ton of other profession

The answer is simple… Sometimes you spend more time trying to make an API cleanly fit into a REST scheme than actually making the API. Sooo you say fuck it.

I mean your analysis isn’t taking into account the high cost of reducing entropy. Picking damaged fruit from undamaged fruit or mixing a low-entropy fuel with a low-entropy additive to make a high entropy product is cheap. Sorting through t

I’ve been doing this for almost 10 years and I disagree with everything but the first and last point. (It’s true — I don’t have all the answers, and yes, I can be laid off, but so can the company disappear tomorrow.)
