Yes… And the sequels? I still don’t know if Xbox one s or x box one x is the higher end model…

I have no love for Microsoft but their naming is one of the worst parts… Let’s make a game console! We’ll call it Xbox!.. That sold well let make another! We’ll call it xbox360… Time for a refresh on the gaming console! We’ll call it Xbox one… Another refresh but this time let’s make two versions! We’ll call them Xbox one series s and x box one series s!

Or our popular ide is bloated and people are asking for a light weight ide… What’s our current ide called? Visual studio but alot of people abbreviate it to vs! Let’s call the new one vscode! Do they have anything in common or share functionality or shortcuts? No

Don’t get me started on windows… 3.1… 95…nt…98…2000…me…vista…7…8…10…11 like wtf???

I disagree… If they eliminate schools then mother’s would have to stay home with the kids. That would mean less current wage slaves.

Plus then the family would control what the kids are taught instead of the kids learning what they want them to learn.

Like the idea but you’re a little late…

Fmla only means you won’t get fired, not that you will be paid.

This is out of curiosity but if someone casts a absentee ballot and then dies before the vote is counted, does it still count?

On one hand I see “dead people shouldn’t vote” but on the other “he voted when he was alive and it was only counted when he was dead”?

I know this situation doesn’t normally come up but is there legal precedence?

To be clear I respect and Carter and hope he is still alive for quite some time but him being in hospice and voting brought the question to mind.

I think the name of X-Files should be Sully-Ed!!

Ok, they got me on the second one… I was seriously wondering how epic had their own judge and it wasn’t conflict of interest.

Where I work we do a mix… Some 4 days, 10 hrs each, some 5days 8 hrs each.

Production is typically 4/10 and most other people are 5/8. This allows the other groups a day where production isn’t running and other things can happen, like maintaining equipment and running tests without interfering with production schedules. While not requiring support to come in on a Saturday or Sunday.

It works out pretty well for us, except when production does ot on Fridays for weeks in a row and the other stuff can’t get done…

Python is named after Monty python and not the snake

I’d still accept him as VP with fact 1. As someone who spent much time in NYC and now miss good Italian dishes and good pizza… Im second guessing based on fact 2

/s for those who missed it

It moved and became new Poland

This depends on the area of medical device. I work in medical device but totally different from this, mine get implanted into your body.

1. I doubt many people have the knowledge to to truly troubleshoot our devices beyond what the doctor is allowed to do. We need a bunch of expensive and specialized hardware to troubleshoot.

2. We are legally required to investigate and report any complaints(https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/search.cfm) . If we don’t get the complaint we can’t investigate and report it.

3. If a certain number(honestly I don’t know the specific number) of complaints occur we are legally required to create a corrective action to help the patients immediately (or as soon as possible) and a preventive action to ensure it doesn’t effect other patients. If a person has an issue and “repaired” it themselves they don’t get counted in this and as such could cause more patients to suffer.

While I agree with right to repair I think certain things should be exempt. That said then there should be a requirement of the manufacturer to ivestigate/repair the equipment.

What does an IPA and having sex while camping have in common?

They are both fucking intense!

I went to dragon con one year, people were dressed in all sorts of costumes even though it’s not a furry con. And I know the hotels where the con is are incredibly hard to book. That said just once I want some senior executive to accidently book a room in one because he has some meeting with a potential client of something and just so happen to click it at the right time.

He shows up and is completely bewildered by all the people in costumes. “you’ll never believe it mark. I rode down the elevator with a robot and I swear to God… Tiny from Bob’s burgers”

When I was younger my mom had cats(started normal 1 or 2, got insane… Highest number I remember is 37 but now she has 0). One cat was a hunter through and through. Basically there was a hall way that ended in the kitchen and my room was the first door from the kitchen. I was sitting at my computer desk, the cat was on top of the fridge. The cat jumped up the fridge, hit ground, jumped again reached my door frame, backfliped off it, caught a fly in it’s front paws, landed, ate fly, looked at me like “aren’t you impressed?”

Another time… Same cat actually… Another cat had a litter of kittens(old enough to walk and see etc but still kittens)… Hunter jumps in my living room window with a live chipmunk. Puts it down and calls the kittens. The basically encircle the chipmunk and the hunter removes its paw and steps back. Nothing happens. Chipmunk is terrified. One kitten walks up and swats it. Chipmunk runs. Hunter chases, grabs it and brings it back to the circle. This cycle repeats until the kittens have a good idea as to how to attack pray. Hunter kills chipmunk, at which point I intervene and put it outside. It’s was like watching a savage show but it was also just nature playing course. Honestly really interesting… Not idolizing the violence and death but the watching one animal teach its family how to hunt and eat.

I do this alot but I alway follow up with “Do you know what blah is?” and depending on age/experience/acronym or term I ask them to explain it.

Sometimes I get assigned work with a senior engineer(where I learn) and sometimes I get asked to help a new person. For example right now I’m in a project being driven by a senior engineer but was asked to assist a professional development program employee(or pdp) to actually execute the project. As a result this is the habit I developed to 1. Make sure I don’t confuse people with random acronyms or terms 2. Ensure we are on the same regarding definition(and they are not just saying yes I know when they don’t).

Ah ok that makes sense, more of a compsci guy then a pure math guy

I’m normally a fan of xkcd but I don’t get this one.
