Killingyouguy! posted:But on the hiring side, a bad cover letter is so, so funny. So who can really say if it is good or bad I, too, enjoy laughing at people who may have English as a second language, or are dyslexic, or one of the many other reasons their cover letter may be "funny."

I got a poem once. A surprising number of rants about how lovely their previous boss was, too. The cover letter does tell you things about a candidate that the resume won't necessarily tell you. Both these cases tell me the culture fit is bad and not worth an interview. Killingyouguy! has a new favorite as of 16:36 on Feb 15, 2023 |

Yeah and like, you're working with other people. There's a world of difference between "I can complete task :)" and "gently caress you, I can complete task and that's all you're getting out of me >:(". I agree that employers shouldn't be able to decide whether someone can afford to eat. This is why we need UBI - because you should be able to eat even if I don't want you on my team lol

The system that makes "just doing the job" a prerequisite for living reduces humans to the level of automatons, don't take it out on people just trying to exist within the system. Having to beg employers to allow you to live is an intensely dehumanizing experience and you can hardly blame people for feeling dehumanized by it.

Every single time I search for a product with a certain attribute, every search in existence returns only that product without the attribute. Every time. For anyone who does backend development, specifically on search functions: First, go gently caress yourself all the way into moving traffic. Second, please stop making these things assume they know what I'm looking for better than I do. Third, if you survived the traffic encounter please gently caress off into an incinerator, you can find one at any funeral home

I search for "service Timex M73 movement", because I bought a neat old wristwatch that needs some TLC. DDG "helpfully" "corrects" my search to M79 service instructions, because surely that was what I meant to type, right? 3 is right there next to 9, it must have been a typo, right?

My cheapo microwave doesn't have a program function. If I'm microwaving something that requires it to stand and then go back on, I have to return to the microwave for that step. The microwave I grew up with, you could set all those steps ahead of time.

I’ve never seen this feature in a microwave in the US. In fact they all seem to have exactly the same firmware that lets you set the time and power level, with some preprogrammed buttons. Also I’ve never seen microwave instructions where you stop heating and let it sit and then resume heating. I’ve seen stuff where you stop halfway and then stir and then resume. Or you let it sit for a few minutes at the very end to let the heat spread through the food.

Yeah, why wouldn't you just cook at a lower power? Then it'll cycle heating on and off for you!

Hirayuki posted:The stop-and-rest-in-the-middle feature? You get that by programming time and power, then time at zero power, and finally time and power again. Unless I misunderstood. (I've never seen this type of middle pause in microwave cooking, either.) I tried this and 1. The minimum duty cycle I can set is 10% 2. I can’t program multiple sequential programs; it just uses what the last entered one was

(I've never seen this type of middle pause in microwave cooking, either.) Yeah this is what I meant, some of my mom's old recipes require it, or different power levels for different lengths of time sequentially (which I guess tracks bc our old family microwave had this feature)

When you complain about the way a company does business in a certain way and some chucklefuck comes back with a variation of "Well, that's just the cost of doing business. If they didn't do it, they'd lose money and there'd be no Megaconglomocorp!". Tough poo poo. A corporation's bottom line is absolutely not my problem. Figure it out in a way that respects my privacy.

speaking of microwaves, there's one in the mail room of my workplace that has a sign on it stating that it is only to be used to heating water for tea or coffee and nothing else. there is a kettle RIGHT loving next to it. if the kettle doesn't work then get a new one! there is a microwave in my immediate work area and a lunchroom upstairs that has one but it is the dumbest poo poo i have ever seen and i want to heat something with a ton of onions in it just to gently caress with whoever did that but  i guess my pet peeve is america and microwaves or something, i don't know

I understand that you guys are complaining about a very real and annoying issue with search functions in general, but I'm still wondering if you are aware that google has a "verbatim" mode? It might help you out.

That's part of the problem, explicit search is hidden under some esoteric switch or search statement that 98.4% of the internet-going community isn't aware of. Instead it's default fuzzy search for all!

Wireless mouses, controllers, etc. Remote controls. Anything I can be holding to use, wander off with, and put down in the wrong room. Why is my TV remote in the kitchen? Why is my xbox controller in the bedroom? And where the gently caress is my phone?

If it was attached to a cable then i suppose you would get up with the mouse in your hand and then it would tug against the cable? Do you frequently forget what is in your hands? I can't relate to having this little body awareness. like living on autopilot. what's that like
