Bird in a Blender posted:I think we're seeing a correction after 2020 and 2021 caused a huge rush in stock purchases and hiring. The economy is in such a weird spot right now where there are still more jobs than people, but the big tech firms are doing massive layoffs. Seems like the economy is bad for only one sector right now. I couldn't find any info on what type of jobs these layoffs are affecting, or maybe it's just across the board. Holy moly. You weren't kidding. I was trying to find out what department or area most of the layoffs were from and saw this in the same article. quote:Facebook parent Meta recently announced 11,000 job cuts, the largest in the company’s history.

Amy Pole Her posted:I mean, yeah, absolutely. I agree with you in a perfect world that is the response. No question. In that world - You likely have less drunk drivers because we have actual mental health support and don’t live in a society that simply lives for angry punishment. But that’s not reality. The law does get unevenly applied so I don't think it's necessarily bad that people are thinking about this. For example, early last year, the county I lived in repealed wearing a helmet on a bike (which is a noble idea and in theory should save lives), because cops only went after minority people who weren't wearing them. The analysis showed the discriminatory costs were hurting them more than the push to have them wear helmets.

Sorry I get a little grouchy about criminal justice because so much focuses on revenge rather than actual solutions. Apologies.

Android Apocalypse posted:I know I should be asking this in SH/SC but I'm old & going to other subforums scares me, so Jeremy my issue: I'm of no actual help here other than to say maybe learn to love Safari, since that seems to work much better on Macs from my very brief googling things (don't trust me, I don't know). But I do like to think the bookmark for SA Smilies is screwing everything up.

If there's no room left on the SSD to shift that data to, you're going to get crashes-- how much space is free on the SSD? Ideally you want more than 10% free. Safari will probably perform better on a mac that old.

I streamlined as much as I could for my SSD in terms of storage and I'm barely using 50% of it. That's what's confusing me. As for embracing Safari, I enjoy using my Chromecast to stream stuff to my TV. Considering my computer is now 10 years old I should consider replacing it.

CannonFodder posted:I use a small tupperware thing from the 70s or early 80s for the job because I'm bad at making the perfect crack to do the "shuffle from one side to the other" method. But I don't know if that counts as a gadget. That's pretty much what I was looking at The shell method normally works for me but I've been getting frustrated by the random eggs that refuse to separate and the white seems to just suck the yolk out with it while dropping into the bowl which also almost always breaks the yolk. I don't love using the hands method I'm familiar with the bottle trick but I almost never have any water bottles on hand (I have a pitcher with a filter I use)

A separate treatment system for drug possession cases would be a good start. Jail time doesn't work. Punitive measures should be reserved for crimes that harm others.

Today I had to go into work because my VPN didn't work. Today I found a bullet hole through 3 layers of wall and one layer of glass in the office! My boss insisted I don't have any valid security concerns about being in the office. Good news for me is this will make annual reviews much more fun. Especially if my boss doesn't tell corporate! Edit: Nobody is hurt. We don't know when the gun was fired.

In my group there's three managers, 12 direct reports, not including contractors. One of the managers is moving to a different group, leaving 5 DRs with no manager. My manager just talked to me about potentially taking over her group and absorbing them into mine. They're also in Dallas, which would mean having to travel there at least once a month for a few days. That means I'd have 7 direct reports, or 12 if you count contractors. I'm fine with all of this and would welcome the travel and more responsibility except what do you think they're gonna say when I ask for more money lol
