Got a user who's just tech savvy enough to be dangerous. His webcam stopped working, and he furiously mashed the Update and Restart buttons until he was on Windows 11. Rolled him back to 10, still no luck. Checked the BIOS, camera is enabled. Resetting Windows now...

Even besides Bitcoin being a convenient scam... It's also just morally repugnant. Horrible for the environment, used to launder money from some of the most evil people in the world, and purports to create value from nowhere. Making fake money by doing absolutely nothing is the root of many of the issues with our modern capitalist system. If people were actually compensated in terms of the true, actual value they bring to their positions the country would be so much more equal than it is.

Keep in mind her stolen billions are not really billions, they're a number of coins which if they could all be sold at today's current trading rate would be billions, except of course they undoubtedly sold many of them when they got them, and had to take less than the current exchange rate in order to divest themselves of significant quantities, and probably also fed right back into the scam-o-sphere of cryptoshit with a fair amount, and of course undoubtedly were still holding big chunks because number always go up. But they don't even look like they cashed out a few thousand dollars worth to go shopping for decent clothes, and that's kind of hilarious.

That's part of the scam of cryptocurrency, it's extremely difficult to convert any large fraction of those "billions" into actual cash. Mainly because that actual cash doesn't really exist. It's totally reliant on a continuing wave of new suckers to keep the illusion going.

A little place called The Rock here in Milwaukee, it’s just an old landfill or whatever with like four runs but they make a pretty dope terrain park and it’s cheap during the week. However during the weekend, it was like $50 and that was probably my fifth run and I snapped the tongue on my binding when I landed that jump and I can’t find compatible replacements because my bindings are old so I’m probably done for the season

I'd say get em anyways. I'd do anything to live in a place where I could snowboard every day also, if it's the toe strap I've boarded the whole rest of the day without the back foot toe strap before. not optimal but doable Play fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Feb 9, 2022 |

God I miss living next to a ski area with amazing vertical footage and being owned by burned out hippies, season pass for under $800 and you can hit a run from top to bottom that’s 2000 vertical feet without stopping. The places here are way pricier, massively over crowded, and best case scenario you can go for half that distance before having to catch a lift

Defector’s article is of course the standard on this, but they also mentioned that the value of what was stolen was like $70 million? And wound up being billions? Yikes. Accidentally involved in the largest financial seizure in United States history. Woooof.

Play posted:Snip snap Yeah all of my poo poo is from the same time period. Now 3 out of 4 tongues have snapped from being ancient brittle plastic in the cold, so I already salvaged both toe tongues from another old pair of bindings that were missing parts already, but the ankle tongues aren’t compatible. I am likely going to just pinch some pennies over spring/summer and buy a new board and bindings this year so I don’t really wanna spend time or money cobbling together janky old bindings for two or three more trips to the hill. I did splurge for some new blue and white Vans boots though

So after losing three coworkers late December and the company not paying at minimum $30k in their salary (not including benefits) in the past month, they got back to me on my raise I asked for due to my workload tripling. I got $5k and won't get the annual 1.5% in April (which is all I've got in the last 7 years). It's better than nothing, but it's all I'm going to get until they decide to outsource me again. Also of replacements for three excellent employees they hired, one has no IT experience and one answered phones. gently caress this place.

Yeah I keep hearing about the great job market but it doesn’t seem that way. Just seems like a lot of people are leaving lovely jobs… but firms aren’t making *better* jobs to try and get them back, just posting the same poo poo. E: I also vaguely recall something about how a significant number of job openings on the market aren’t actually real - it’s a way for organizations to milk the PPP and get money. So the job market is not as juicy as it looks. Ornery and Hornery fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Feb 9, 2022 |

More people are starting to come back to the work force too, which means more competition for jobs. 3 million more people are looking for work than last year. I think there are still labor shortages in some fields, but it’s not universal, and even the real shortages are due to COVID outbreaks many times.

I have mentioned before I started a new job last Monday as IT support. I had a recruiter reach out to me and from the job I was at to this job, I got a 5.25 an hour raise. It's actually a better environment and has a chance to be hired full time so yeah, at the very least set up a profile on indeed and make sure people can see your resume so they can reach out to you. That's what I did.

Tight job market for senior tech folks and leaders for companies, but a tight job market for workers for more junior folks. Good talent doesn't even really hit the market these days, you have to get lucky with hitting them up at the right time. I have a lot of headcount for this year and it's going to take time to fill it out cause I need senior folks. Def making offers above market, but so are a lot of other places.

So I just checked my salary history and the number they told my boss is half what is showing in the HR system. Our super cool HR provider strikes again! Someone's gonna be really disappointed. About leaving - it's definitely an option if my plans for the year fail. I'm in medic school through December and the idea of that and trying to take on a new job and learn the ropes is quite frankly scary to me. After I'm done with school I'm going to try and make the transition to full time fire or EMS. Yes I'm aware that's a lot less. I'm a dumbass, what can I say.
