Catholics believe in a religious hierarchy, Cardinals, bishops, Pope e.t.c.
Christians USUALLY think hierarchy in religion is almost blasphemous. But really it’s just so they can kinda just do whatever the fuck they want and not worry about the Pope excommunicating them.
I’ve been liking “going medieval”
Either 1, a bunch of textbooks and encyclopedias. Or 2, a tablet/computer with said texts downloaded, a battery pack for said tablet/computer, and a few fold out solar panels or maybe one of those hand crank things. If I still have space I’d bring a soldering iron, a bunch of tips for it, flux and a bunch of different solders. Maybe a few spare parts for the laptop.
Thanks man, gives me hope.
I’m on month 4 over here. Do the cravings ever stop being daily?
I really hope Lemmy hasn’t caught the censorship virus. There’s a certain acceptable amount due to the tolerance paradox, but your article doesn’t apply there.
How’s that one quote go? any world view that relies on the consistent silencing of another is inherently flawed? Something like that.
If you like strategy games. This is one of my favorite games of all time. I haven’t seen anything quite like it sense. Close, but nothing hit the genre mix like this game.
Rise and fall: civilization at war.
Ok that makes sense.
Man that’s pretty wild to think about. If antimatter was created at the same time as matter in the same quantity and distribution, then why are we here. Why didn’t the entire universe essentially cancel itself out? Was there some factor that benefited regular matter or hindered antimatter? Is there some level of chaos on the atomic or subatomic scale that played in regular matter being the dominant? Has some crazy philosophical implications.
What exactly does “annihilation” mean in this context. Do both “atoms” give off energy and convert to sub atomic particles? Does one atom kind of “win” over the other and undergo fission instead of complete annihilation?
Yup, apparently that’s exactly right lol. I was kinda green on that job so I didn’t realize how wild that was. Thinking back on it, what the fuck?
Yeah that’s a good point. Now that I’m farther in my career i think it is pretty wild they didn’t have some kinda back up software or network storage for critical stuff. The only reason I can think of is espionage, we were seriously worried about international espionage. I had to do training for it, we had a picture of Smokey the bear in our break room that said " only you can prevent government espionage". Shit, I just remembered the guy (super rough scruffy looking guy) cried over this, literally cried. Maybe he realized it was probably his ass for that too?
Yeah to be honest I don’t know why I write it like that. I know it’s not right, outlook corrects me almost every day. One of those weird things my brain does, maybe a habit from when I was a kid idk. I do it without realizing.
Your not wrong, and definitely not the first person to tell me that. But it still fucked with me for a while. There were a lot of really good people there, just trying to make there way. My actions, whether my fault or not, indirectly caused probably like 150+ people to lose their job, and that’s on the day shift, idk if they even kept the night shift. I know it’s not my fault, but like, I still feel a lil shitty about it, ya know. This was probably 6-7 years ago. Sense then I’ve learned my lesson and never ever keep my mouth shut and make sure I have all concerns documented. Ho boy has it saved my ass.
What an absolute piece of shit. Could of destroyed someone’s life. I wonder if that was the first time.
Lol, essentially the company closed down a bunch of plants to make one big plant. Dude in question was a foreman at each plant at one point in time. They start the new plant, fast forward like six months and I get hired to do IT. The guys laptop has a memory leak issue that we couldn’t track down, so we were gonna reimage the machine. Had to backup data first. The company i worked for forced us to use a singular proprietary tool to do both. I was not allowed to manually back up anything ( like I wanted to, because seriously wtf) Well lo and behold this software doesn’t give a shit about the D partition of the users HDD or anything on it, so it wipes that part. Well that was the part of the drive that had all calibration data, measurements, contacts in the industry. Pretty much the guys black book got wiped. This is literally during first quarter of a merger. I get fired. A few weeks or like a month later I see the company stock took a huge hit because of issues with a merger. I also run into an old coworker at a gas station like 6 months later and she informed me that everything went to shit when I left and they cut the staff by more than half. Over a hundred people lost their job because of my fuck up.
Really cheap crack pipe
I caused the loss of multiple millions of dollars in stock of one of the largest manufacturering companies in the world. All because I listened to my boss instead of my instincts. I got fired because the senior foreman “couldn’t stand to look at my face”
I think the comment is meant to claim that while they contribute to these open source projects, the end goal is the ability to control those new arms of the emerging market to an extent. Kind of like what’s happened with steam where it’s been around for so long , has such a large community and quantity of content, that any similar platform that comes along is going to be at a serious disadvantage. Even large scale companies don’t even know how to compete with steam properly so far.
If the same thing happens to the Linux community within the next 10 years or so due to valves contributions. That could be not necessarily bad, but a serious change to the Linux culture. Open source culture could take a hit. Gabe won’t live forever, and he has a unique understanding of " you don’t fuck with the open source community, you work with them ". Once he’s gone, whoever takes over could take advantage of their foothold in the open source community, or at least try to. That would probably be bad.
Am I reading this data sheet correctly? Did they seriously use a data set of 2100 people and call that “widespread”?
