My favorite version of the chess one is from the Simpsons when the teachers at the school go on strike. Bart now has a ton of time on his hands and ends up playing chess against 3 people at the same time in the park. A bystander comments on how smart he must be right before all 3 opponents checkmate him. https://youtu.be/zLcAu1VuP0w
Financial literacy
I had a manager who at the end of every meeting (and I mean EVERY meeting) said “go team!” It was especially annoying since he wasn’t actually present in 99.9% of those meetings.
I graduated in 6 years with a bachelor’s. It took my mom 20 years to get her bachelor’s (not continuously). You’re fine.
Did they determine the cause of death of that cow? I would think any car that hit it would have received a lot of damage.
Hasn’t the US government broken every single treaty with Native American tribes?
Because as far as I know, they only finished the immediate project that I was working on and didn’t continue doing any of the next things on the roadmap that were sorely needed. A fintech company that somehow assigned zero importance to their payments system.
I did this recently. They “replaced” me with two engineers after I had been begging for meaningful help for months.
Musk is undeniably in the “uber rich” category. I argue that the difference between being a billionaire and a many-billionaire is mostly if not entirely academic in practice.
Any recommendations for city builders on the simpler side for when my brain isn’t fully functioning?
US police (including border agents) are stealing things from citizens. It doesn’t matter if you have bank statements or receipts if you are dealing with someone who will just steal your shit and claim legal immunity.
Tomatoes. I disliked them for a long time but a few years ago I tried them again. I don’t remember how I made that decision - it may have been from forgetting to ask for no tomatoes on a burger but I ended up trying them more and came to like them. I don’t like all tomatoes and not in everything, but I do enjoy them in sandwiches, burgers, and a few other things.
We have both MySQL and PostgreSQL in our production environment. Postgres is way nicer as a user of the DB. I created a document months ago outlining a dozen different things that Postgres does that MySQL either doesn’t do or does worse. I can’t speak to managing the DB as I don’t have experience with that.
I’m skeptical that anything legal will work for very long because they will quickly work to make said legal action illegal.
No one has asked the important question: what do you need the laptop to do on this camping trip? The answer to that will drastically change the answer to your question
The company I work at is considering moving some/all of the “not business differentiating” work (aka boring or terrible yet still critical work) to teams in India. I agree with roughly colocating teams (by time zone. Working 12 hours apart from half your team isn’t practical). I disagree with the Indian teams taking all the bad/boring work.
Incorrect. There are a lot of companies that make silencers.
I have been running Linux full time on my gaming PC for a number of months now. I have found only a few instances where a game hasn’t worked. I know that certain games won’t work because of their invasive or Windows specific DRM, but for me personally I don’t want to play those games anyway. Some examples of games I can play without issue: Horizon: Forbidden West, Brotato, Plate Up, GTFO, Dome Keeper, Noita, Enlisted, Power Wash Simulator, Risk of Rain 2 …
I highly recommend this game! I played through it with a friend and really enjoyed it. I think I recommend it with more than one player
