I like my job in the sense of the overall purpose fulfilled each day, and I enjoy the logistical challenges I often face. What makes me not like coming to work and more and more looking forward to retirement is dealing with the people. Some of the workers, most of the management, and having to make things happen despite higher up decisions made for the company.

The great thing is that for the most part each day is its own thing, so I rarely have to walk into the next week and dread a continuing issue rolling over. It’s always new problems for that day to resolve, and I don’t mind the ones that normally come with the job. Just the ones created by those in charge that seemingly have never set foot in the field to see how their spreadsheet numbers really affect things.

It also speaks to the nature of the crypto industry that someone could have $25 billion worth of something that literally did not exist 24 hours previously.

Old Man stock market looks up and chuckles “That’s my boy…line go up.”

I got to 85 mph in mine once on a straightaway while on a long trip. It wouldn’t go faster, but the engine gave it everything no questions. It also didn’t feel all that safe, so I didn’t do it again. Would I recommend a Beetle to anyone today, absolutely not. But I loved all four that I had in the past, and wouldn’t have traded them if I didn’t have to. A fun and needy death trap.

The longer con is that Earth needed plastic but couldn’t make it itself. Wheat is just a link in that long chain to get us to this point.

Good for those who did their job and reported it. I’d much rather have a late or even canceled flight than the risk of anything happening because of someone even slightly impaired.

That door has been open a while, he’s just the biggest one and in the latest tradition the quiet part is being said out loud now. More validation of the real message of “Soylent Green”, where a society degrades to the point where even the most outrageous actions get at best a shrug from the apathetic public.

Couches, chairs…he’s got eclectic tastes. Some people are saying.

Stop. Don’t. Come back.

Give some credit. Even if they aren’t politically aligned with your, they did make Lemmy open source for others to run with.

Pizza? Luxury. We got told we won’t get laid off yet and we should be happy. They aren’t wrong, I suppose.

“Up to” is fine for this, as it’s a measure of capacity. It’s when it’s used as an expected norm like the ISPs do that it becomes more marketing than a rating. The requirement ought to be a known average of realistic usage and not a top end number.

Space is hard to get to, no gravity, and there’s radiation.

Underwater has high pressure, corrosion, and no natural lighting.

When you get an air leak in space, you find the hole and patch it. When you get a leak underwater, you don’t have to worry about it at all because it takes care of things in microseconds.

And such news doesn’t seem to be hitting mainstream, or at least I’ve missed some of it. Pandemic level stuff is so 2020 and not click worthy maybe.

If other animals like vultures get to the dead geese first

My mind always goes to the “what ifs”, and reading that my first thought past more spread was…what happens when a natural system of carrion breakdown loses part of its mechanism? Dead animals will still decay, but not as fast and complete without the help, and diseases can come from rotting corpses that just sit.

Mpox and bird flu glare from the corner, bidding their time.

Ebola looks up from their book and yawns.

And ever since craft brewing had a moment

Thank you, President Carter.

First glance I thought that was One Must Fall: 2097, but turns out below it doesn’t even get close to that epic level.

That type of delay works for them just as well as any other.

It looked bigger, and given everything else about it the turn radius probably sucks too, so might as well be huge. I’d give credit if it was due, and was actually excited when Tesla first announced they’d do a truck…thinking of all the possibilities that everyone else thought. What we got was not that.

Wouldn’t a NATO membership be a similar protection without the movement and danger of arms? I can’t recall what restrictions are left for Ukraine to join. It will of course piss Putin off, but anything does, and his whole fear movement that NATO is trying to take Russian land ignores the very purpose behind NATO, a common defense against attacks and invasions. Which of course Putin doesn’t even agree they are doing even though they are actively within agreed borders. I mean, Putin’s crazy, he has a fixation on remaking the old Mother Russia.

I don’t worry about when, only hope and try to make sure things are in place enough so that those I leave behind are taken care of as best as I can. And I hope whenever it happens, it’s not some long, drawn out, painful event. Death is fine, the act of dying can suck.
