We actually bombed the moon on the day of the Nobel Prize announcement!

Seriously though, it was a middle finger to Bush more than anything.

“We don’t know how it works but released it anyway” is a perfectly good reason to be sued when you release a product that causes harm.

I personally carry my MX Master. Not as many buttons, but the adaptive free-scrolling and the side-scrollling wheel make it a productivity lifesaver.

But the elevation to a felony is the important part. It’s a felony because it’s part of a conspiracy to illegally defraud the voters and affect the election.

It’s a crime in furtherance of a more serious crime, which elevates its severity.

chiliedogg,

Exit inerviews can be valuable and beneficial if the exit is on good terms all around.

I left my last job for a better-paying position elsewhere, but I still loved my old job and coworkers. It’s still the best job I ever had.

I couldn’t pass up a 50% raise and they couldn’t match it. No hard feelings or bruised egos. It’s just how things work out.

Having an honest conversation with HR about what worked and didn’t from an employee perspective with zero stakes for either of us was productive and informative.

He’ll be able to vote.

He’s A Florida resident, and the rule for Florida felons convicted out of state is that they are subject to the voting restrictions of the jurisdiction in which they were convicted.

New York allows felons who are not actively incarcerated to vote, so unless he’s actually serving time he’ll be able to vote.

chiliedogg,

Florida’s voting rights rule for felons convicted out of state is to follow the laws of the state in which they were convicted.

I don’t know, but Cannon T-shirts are definitely okay.

They love her.

Is that the guy a jury found liable for sexual assault?

Can I refuse MS Authenticator?

So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose “any authenticator” and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it’s...

chiliedogg,

I work for a municipal government where we all receive a phone stipend because of 2FA.

If we use our personal phones for city business, they become searchable in Open Records Requests.

chiliedogg,

“Bullshitting” is an essential skill, not a distraction. The greatest idea in the world is meaningless if nobody knows about it.

Marketing, scmoozing, etc gets a bad rep. But no matter how good your output, product, research, etc is, it has very little value or impact if people don’t get on board.

If you can’t play the game, team up with someone who can. And don’t forget that while that schmoozer may not have your technical skills, they have a skillset you do not.

It wasn’t Woz or Jobs. It was both.

She needs to apply for a jobs at these companies that use the software in order to generate damages she can sue over.

But they’re essentially illegal. CAFE standards are based on vehicle footprint since the late 2000s (you know - when they suddenly quit making small trucks). As the standards get stricter they just make trucks bigger to keep from failing to meet CAFE.

chiliedogg,

Though the benefit of the law is that the standard engine on the Ford Maverick is the hybrid, since having the ICE as the standard wouldn’t meet CAFE.

If the Maverick had been possible to obtain when my Colorado died last summer it’s definitely what I would have bought.

Instead I got an NV200 mini cargo van, and I’m pretty happy with it. Though the smash cargo vans just all got discontinued by all the manufacturers too because of CAFE.

Why do people throw out old motors, bicycles, anything metal into rivers and lakes instead of a junk yard or the trash system?

I have been watching magnet fishing and people love to toss stuff over bridges without a second thought on the environmental impact. Hiding evidence I can almost understand but not lawnmowers, car batteries, etc....

chiliedogg,

For big times like furniture, engines, toilets, construction debris, etc it’s to save money. You can’t throw those things in a dumpster, and a trip to my local dump costs $160.

chiliedogg,

There’s so much NIMBY about landfills they’re rare and very far apart, so they can get away with charging 4x what’s fair.

1,000 Harvard Students Walk Out of Commencement to Support 13 Seniors Barred from Graduation over Gaza (www.democracynow.org)

More than a thousand Harvard students walked out of their commencement ceremony yesterday to support 13 undergraduates who were barred from graduating after they participated in the Gaza solidarity encampment in Harvard Yard....

chiliedogg,

No, they’ve been placed on probation and cannot graduate for at least 1 year.

While it’s true that many people’s careers post-college are not directly related to their degree, it’s still valuable to employers.

What a degree says is that an individual can sucessfully complete a project that takes years of work and at least enough professionalism to get through.

chiliedogg,

There’s a world of difference in dedication to completing a 4-year project when you’re being paid to be there working and when you are not.

Sucessfully completing a college degree shows that someone is driven, can accomplish goals, and make forward-looking decisions.

chiliedogg,

Someone simultaneously spending money, building debt, and foregoing income for years to complete a project that will result in better longer-term prospects absolutely shows drive and a focus on the long-term.

Not going to college doesn’t mean someone doesn’t have those qualities, but the degree is prrof of minimum qualifications and drive.

I know everything necessary to build a house from the ground up, but if you want an electrical upgrade you should hire a licensed electrician and not me because they have the credentials to back it up.

chiliedogg,

You literally can’t take the bar without a law degree. The bar is just a test at the end of the journey.

Because the ability to pass one test is no replacement for a holistic education in the law.

Hell, I know more about the law in my particular field than 99% of attorneys. But that doesn’t mean shit in a courtroom.

Do you care of your electrician is licensed? You should. Because someone can know enough about electricity to get by and make things work and still be dangerous. That shortcut they used to steal a return off a separate circuit to save a wire run in the garage works great until the GFI fails on a short and you get electrocuted using the sink.

Credentials are important. Some college degrees are essential for their specific jobs (doctors, lawyers, scientists). Others are useful skillsets combined with a degree that acts as a credential that says “independantly accomplishes multi-year complex goal involving 40+ successful milestone tasks (courses) with no supervision required.”

That’s like somebody saying in 1912 that fax machines could never be invented because no printouts were magically appearing on their desk. The technology had to be invented before it could be used. If a time traveler has to step out of a machine, that machine has to be invented first. The idea is that backwards time travel would only be able to travel as far back as the invention of backwards time travel.

That being said, from a physics standpoint I can absolutely see backwards time travel as being impossible. We can’t move negative distances across spatial dimensions, so why would we be able to move backwards in time?

chiliedogg,

I’m staying. Just like I’ve stayed in Texas.

But I also don’t have kids. My sister left Texas when she decided to start having children and I support that decision 100%. This is no place to raise a child.

Moses didn’t get to live in the nation he created.
