Still haven’t heard better computer speakers than the standard Klipsch $100-150 stereo speakers with the sub that have been around for 25 years with minor aesthetic changes.

A cast iron skillet. If you use it regularly the seasoning will be so good that it’s as functional as any PTFE nonstick pan, you can use metal cooking utensils on it instead of having to get plastic/silicone stuff (for PTFE), and it serves many purposes from stove top to oven. If you can find a “vintage” one at a yard sale from when they used to hand polish them smooth instead of pre-seasoning them with a rough texture, even better. When I bought a small Lodge one years ago, I used a grinder and sanding discs to polish off the factory textured seasoning and re-seasoned it myself, which worked a charm! If you go that route, I recommend doing it outside, because the amount of metal dust that it stirs up is impressive (and magnetic, so an absolute mess to clean up).

That is not an answer, it’s a man avoiding the question entirely.

God existing would absolutely place all responsibility upon God, not on its creation for doing only what it was created and constrained to do by that God. Every “decision” would require that God to allow it, making that God responsible.

Tiling window managers like i3 may be what you’re looking for

It’s also happening to practically every other animal, and some of them were more sensitive to the effects before people.

Just “as any” everything until it runs. That’s runs, not works.

I got as far as seeing they chose Java and opening the constants file, and immediately executed a strategic withdrawal. I love that people went to this level of detail

Now I’m interested to try vegemite, on pumpernickel rye toast with crunchy peanut butter and blackberry or raspberry jam, or cherry preserves.

Do you eat them with vegemite?

Laying people off instead of offering to move them to the now-more-important projects has to be one of the dumbest management moves that tech companies repeatedly do. These are people already trained on all the policies and procedures and tooling and “culture” specific to your company.

It’s going to be more expensive to hire and train new people when the dumdums in upper management finally figure out the mistakes they made that got them to a point where they decided they need to cut jobs and projects, and the ramp-up time before you actually start seeing progress on those priorities is going to be seriously lengthened. Of course they won’t acknowledge it was their fault in the first place, and again the heads roll on the wrong end of the corporate ladder.

There are many valid complaints about Teams in this thread. The most unforgivable for me is the purple theme. Purple isn’t even a wavelength. It shouldn’t exist, nor should Teams, and I shouldn’t be forced to stare at both of them throughout my work day.

1 & 3: yes. 2: I’m wondering if when they talked about a panic in science, they meant a panic in not-science, like maybe pop science news or religion?

Right now there are a number of pop science news articles and channels saying physicists are panicking over Webb’s confirmation of Hubble’s observations of Cepheid variable stars and the expansion of the universe. But I haven’t heard any actual physicists panicking, unless panicking means finding it really interesting and wanting to know more and do more observations and research.

Or maybe they meant there was a panic reaction to science news among religious politicians and public figures who were given a huge platform? They are always looking for ways to think of humans as distinctly more special than other animals. And they’re always looking for ways to deny rights to anyone who isn’t cis or straight.
