dude I had a random teammate tell me once in a video game that I sounded like I had a stand-up desk

yes, but I wasn’t using it at the time. I was gaming at my Ikea kitchen table desk, with my standup work desk right next to me

really? I don’t know anyone that feels that way. mechanical, mechatronics, and software are my closest friend groups. maybe it’s just that the additional professional qualification of engineer in my province adds a clear distinction between engineering graduate and professional engineer

often the same people who can’t hold speed to save their life but also an explicably refuse to just use cruise control

in case you’re not aware, LG employees literally said “we own the glass” about the TVs and spying on what people were playing on it

what are they scrapping? copper?

agreed the issue I have with how people use it is that it’s easy to just create more shit that they spew out into the world I’ve got no issue with people using tools to improve their work. I think it’s fair to say that AI is enough like predictive text and spell check when it comes to tools you can use at work. and like any tool, the user is still responsible for the end result my main problem with AI is that it is absolutely fucking our world (environmentally and economically) to create pure garbage that is thrown in my face every day. like, scale it back a bit everyone…

a friend of mine thoroughly appreciates that he can order groceries for pickup and save the time wandering the store finding things and checking out. I understand that

I mean maybe it's because your statement was explicitly "all men are dangerous", not "men are dangerous"

what what term do people use for tweets on shitter now? just “posts”?

I mean isn't it more of that the industry is just recognizing the war that Adobe started years ago? full disclaimer all I've read is the damn headline

that’s the nipple rubbing, right? because yeah that shit is on brand. I just don’t see them portraying deforestation as heroic

I don’t recall those episodes even though I definitely saw them, but that really doesn’t feel like that was the intent of the episode… that would be out of character edit: to be clear I do mean that it would be out of character to show deforestation as heroic, and that yes it must have been satire

Newsom? I thought Carney did that!

why would I care? the US is spying on me and they're a much bigger threat to me

probably puts them in the top half of players

I hate that more people didn't think that way

related, what would a human-human centaur look like?

and no link to the actual report itself what shit journalism

you know what? I would much rather the internet returned to shit like this than it be the shit hole that it is today what with all the tracking, ads, and bots

for those who still don't get it, what you're looking at is baguettes stuck into shoes

well they won't literally have performance metrics. they'll have data that they will use as performance metrics. important distinction

I got some files from a supplier last month date suffixed mmddyy, ex: concept1-250426 I didn't even recognize it was a date stamp at first, until putting it alongside some earlier files from them with something like 190426 what the fuck kind of nearly useless date stamp is that

comprising

not comprised of

friggin' dunce

wfh is not good for my body. it can be hard to get proper movement in on busy days where everything is a priority and shit keeps coming up. it definitely takes more intention to keep up an appropriate level of activity, both during the work day and before/after. I didn't have these issues before wfh

nah, it's usually bomb recipes.

you're basing this on a false assumption that all people go to bed after 10pm

I finally had to move to Windows 11, and the UI is just so fucking broken. I did discover StartAllBack the other day which helped tremendously like who thought removing the ability to show seconds in the clock flyout was a good choice‽ pretty sure they're already using copilot in the start menu program search. I searched for "not" today because I wanted to open notepad. I got three results, none of which had "not" in their name. like jesus fucking christ that's so bad. one of them literally did not have any of the letters n o or t in the program name.

yes. I have much farther to go to get to the coffee machine or washroom, and people flag me down on the way to talk about whatever problem they're having. or I give a hand to someone who is moving something, or just take a minute to stand and see how the progress is on building the machine for me, very much different from just sitting or standing in front of my desk and going ten steps to the bathroom and 25 to the kitchen also for the second part, it's a lot easier to fall into the trap of never going "out" if you wfh and are already set to get comfy on the couch. if you have a commute, you're already out. lower barrier. not a big one, and mostly mental - but it's there. which is why common advice that I very much agree with is to *create* some sort of commute when you wfh, even if that's just a two minute walk around the block.

huh. I will need to check this, because that's some obvious scam bullshit. thank you for the notice

that was what inspired the question so my thoughts are tainted. I want fresh opinions

just ask grok, duh

can someone remind me where volunteer firefighters are actually volunteers and not just part-time or on-call employees

if companies chase the same profit levels, then yes. that is the inherent flaw with the state of capitalism in today's world. it requires the working class to get exhausted so the rich can have a greater unnecessary level of wealth and corporations can return profit to shareholders.

so still only one pair of legs, then

I also got rid of a bunch of keys, and I didn't need an app to do so. if I have to use an app, I'd hate it

that it was

why? he knows what he did. we'll never forget that show in '03

climbing, cycling, and back country. the core hobbies and interests of engineers.

on call firefighters in Ontario get paid

right, that's where I was thinking of, thank you

oh gee whiz golly, I sure do love biking over there to grab some essentials and gab with the group

it’ll become something you can bet on, then somebody will get busted for installing heaters under the turf

why can’t they both work from home if they both have the same position? how does the other guy working from home nagatively affect the parent? if your answer is “because then the parent has to go in”, then they don’t have the same position either the position allows for wfh, or it doesn’t.

most of my longer drives are 500 to 600 km with one or two short stops along the way. if there were a wagon that could start fully charged, and leave me with 250 km of range at my destination after those two short stops, I’d be interested in it as my sole vehicle I don’t really see how it would make this work for me without that capability. I don’t do daily commuting so that aspect of charging at home doesn’t appeal to me — I already only fill up maybe every other week at most

yes. I have meetings for around a dozen projects at any week in time, and some people really suck at titling meetings. “issues touchpoint” OKAY BUT FOR WHICH ISSUES ON WHICH PROJECT, JESSICA

that’s just a management skill issue your claim requires an agreement that staffing at appropriate levels cannot be done for some reason

parents are often afforded flexibility by their bosses that other don’t receive, such as: “sorry I was late, the school drop off line was slow” –> while their coworker who was equally late because traffic was just exceptionally bad because of a crash is given a write-up “I won’t be able to cover so and so’s shift this weekend, my kid has a game” –> which leads to a coworker covering who also had plans, but the manager deems their plans less important and tells them they have to even though it’s not their dpmt I’ve seen both of these things play out exactly like that.

does anyone know why Sony is so intent on ensuring that I never become a console gamer and give them money? like how does this benefit them?

ITT: people thinking that offering everybody the same flexibility means taking that flexibility from parents smfh
