You have the correct term, but that’s not exactly how it works. At my last job the CEO told the board that he intended to lose money building our staff, skills and core software products. They applauded him. (Oops, we made a profit on those years anyway, but the point stands.)
Fiduciary responsibility mainly means they have to make a good faith effort to protect and grow company finances. They have no obligation to drive the line up quarterly.
I’m one! Honestly don’t get the hate. There was a comment the other day that made me think the haters are phone users. Shorts work fine on a 47" TV, for me. Hate that you can’t turn the giant captions off on many videos, but the people I follow usually don’t do that.
For me, shorts are a thing I can scroll past once and be done. Is it painful on a phone for some reason?
Ah! Old temporally vs. old culturally. Thoughtful take!
Let me add 12 Angry Men to that list.
Had no desire to watch it, but people on reddit were flipping over it. Put it on late, figured I’d get to bed for work the next day. Nope. Glued to the screen for every second of it. You can feel the heat and physical closeness of the single room it takes place in.
Didn’t think my Filipino wife would like it, maybe wouldn’t get the English. Nope. She was perfectly still absorbing it all.
Only thing that feels out of place is the old-timey, fast-talking 50s feel from some characters. OTOH, you could re-shoot the whole thing, almost word for word, and it would still be a masterpiece. LOL, and make an excuse for a borked AC unit.
I consider The Register to be the gold standard in tech journalism. When asked how I keep up with evolving tech, I told the interview panel that any tech news they see on mainstream media was likely broken by The Register 3 days previous, with original sources and quotes from top corporate officers.
Also told them I had followed several tech subs on reddit in the past, but as the site has devolved into bots talking to one another, I’ve turned to lemmy for tech community interaction and advice.
(No, I’m not using lemmy for that so much, but if I land the network admin job I will!)
Used Keeper at my last gig. Was pretty happy with it all in all. Lacking some admin features, rock and roll support. Not too pricey, but it is per-user/per-month. Played nicely with our Google auth.
Got a thrift store keyboard. The pink sticky on the bottom said:
User: admin
Pass: password
I wish I was joking. Someone out there was dumb enough to need a reminder on that one.
Permabanned for saying evil shit about Russians, a few times. Funny thing is how fast they would be on negative comments about Russia.
And BTW, Russians can die in a fucking fire. Lived under threat of nuclear annihilation for my entire childhood, and now the filthy gangsters are fucking with, and have ruined, American politics.
This is how I used to decide to go to sleep. Reading books on my tablet, third face bonk, give up and go to sleep.
Weird how the whole world collectively decided that cookie tins are how to store sewing shit. Ours is a big square one.
Had never heard of this, and my first computer had a tape drive. Went to a tiny computer camp and we had a sweet D&D game, but it took 10-minutes to load, if it didn’t fuck up. Had to start it before our break or we’d only have 5 minutes to play.
You’ll love my comment from yesterday!
I could whip up rack ears but making threaded holes confounds me. Even got a tap and die set, still can’t figure it out.
Nah, I have a NetGate (pfSense) rackmount router/firewall with multiple ports. Isn’t that pretty standard with enterprise gear now days? Only 2-port routers I’ve seen are ones I build from old PCs.
That’s a picture of me. Quit IT to do labor at Lowe’s. It’s fucking brutal in the outside garden area. Got an interview next week for a network admin role, can’t turn down the money. Wish I could.
LOL, give it up. Lemmy is full of kids who have never had a physically challenging job in their fucking life.
“I saw bad things!”
Is no way comparable to:
“I’ve blown out my back and knees, can barely stand up in the morning and can’t make a fist.”
And for those bitching about the first two items, 19 of 20 of them are, and have always been, fat fucks.
Anyways, looks like GenZ is about to get hard as fuck in the next few years when they see what real suffering is.
It’s human to see patterns where they don’t exist and assign agency.
OK, maybe a slight twist, but Left 4 Dead absolutely sucks vs. Left 4 Dead 2. Want L4D? Fine. Play it inside L4D2 with better guns and zombies.
True Crime podcasts and YT channels
Female detected! I joke, but I don’t know any men into that content, and I’m ceaselessly amazed at the variety of women who love it. My wife will soon be home, in bed and totally absorbed in watching white trash confess (while trying to lie) to cops about their heinous acts.
I do much the same in my head.
Know what’s crazy? We sling bags of mulch, dirt and rocks onto customer vehicles every day. No one, neither coworkers nor customers, will do simple multiplication. Only the most advanced workers do it. No lie.
Customer wants 30 bags of mulch. I look at the given space:
“Let’s do 6 stacks of 5.”
Everyone proceeds to sling shit around in random piles and count as we go. And then someone loses track and has to shift shit around to check the count.
