Harvey’s Hamburgers counted the times I punched in 1-3 minutes past my official start time (despite me being there 20 minutes in advance all times) as being “late” and fired me based off of this.

The two other employees were both pregnant with the manager so I have a suspicion that I got fired because at that time I couldn’t get pregnant. I still can’t get pregnant now because I’m a man, but I also couldn’t get pregnant back then.

I agree with you. The pace of crafting to progress is slow. The story forces you to uncover it by exploring further and deeper. The distress calls nudge you in the right directions.

My last playthrough I was determined to beat the game. It took 50 hours and at the end I got frustrated because just when I thought I was at the end, they wanted me to grind even more for some hard to craft materials which would require me to dive far and deep and look for things while things were dangerous.

Exhausted, I used a single console command to give myself the thing I didn’t want to grind for and bam. Completed. The games a marathon. It’s entertaining, scary, interesting, and tedious. I’m not interested in any sequels.

Because humans are nervous apes who just want to be loved. Impressing other people gives you feedback that you are wanted, accepted, and appreciated.

Because piracy is illegal and the mods of lemmy.world are afraid of getting in legal trouble.

GPT4All and then any model you like. I like mistral.

I find it so silly. Compared to Excel, Power BI is so easy. Yet, fancy graphs that move other graphs when you click a specific bar is all any senior manager wants to see. They don’t even understand what the data is. They don’t even care! Pretty bars go brrrrrr in their minds. Whatever. I get paid.

I recently learned how to use DAX expressions in Microsoft Power BI and how you can use them in measures so you can do all sorts of changes to datasheets so that when you make dashboards and data visualizations, it all looks super pro without complicated workarounds to make your data present nicely.

My employer didn’t read the description of the training and just signed me and a whole bunch of other people up. It was a certification course meant to train for the final exam but most of my coworkers who were there hadn’t even opened Power BI up before. I was just at the right experience level for this course though, as I’ve used PowerBI at an end user level for a couple years now.

I commend ya for the write up though. Would have been insanely helpful back when I was using WSL2 to emulate a raspberry pi to run Pihole 🤣

Good lord. I used to run my server on windows but every time I had windows updates it threw everything off. Windows firewall also got reset on updates repeatedly and I was constantly troubleshooting.

If u wanna be a big important science boi u just have to be super confident about science even if in reality ur confidence levels are sub 75%

If calling it that will make you feel better, who am I to stop ya?

That’s some genuine ghoul logic. You’re a Luddite if you value your privacy and resist predators. Great take lmao. Totally hinged.

Your idea of making “operating systems interesting” is to screenshot and spy on a users activity in the odd event that they want to go back and have a photographic memory of it? You and I have VASTLY different ideas of what “interesting” means.

That’s wild. I’m assuming you’re in the states. I’m a UX designer and on paper I make just shy of $50k CAD.

What is a career in your definition?

A friend of mine bought a taser that shoots those little barbs for $15. Absolutely insane.

My question to anyone able to answer this: how can you afford to take a sabbatical period??? I can’t even afford to take a weeks vacation. It would wreck me financially not receiving pay for a whole week. Let alone a year??? What’s going on in this thread?

Second Bazzite. My use case is almost identical to OPs. Been using Bazzite for a while and I haven’t had a single issue. Everything works. Gaming is a breeze. Even works with my work dock with keyboard, mouse, webcam, and 2 1080p monitors attached. Plug n play.

Never had that experience on Linux before in my LIFE

You keep referencing your own personal tech adeptness as some sort of gotcha against what the study found. This is exactly what they say. People well-versed in tech greatly overestimate the general public’s tech abilities.

You are in your own bubble. Your kids are good at tech because YOU are good at tech. Just peruse through your posting history. You’re posting about hacker conferences and running local Joplin services. You are NOT the average tech consumer. Congratulations on being surrounded by like minded peers. You are not the average.

The findings of the study went absolutely over your head. You’re clearly very tied to your personal experience and cannot see outside of it so any more interaction or discussion would be a waste of both of our times. Take care.

Here’s another technique you could try that takes these drawings to the next level!

Instead of outlining the defined edges of someone’s head (drawing a circle, channeling ur inner loomis with guidelines n stuff), try doing a very rough light outline and just filling in the shadow areas. Like every shadow. Instantly makes things pop, isn’t difficult to do, and vastly makes pictures look much more realistic.

This is just an example: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/670332725764879484/

Essentially you end up with a drawing where you can’t even really see defined edge lines. Bumps ya from cartoon to semi realistic :)
