super sweet best pal posted:Finally got to the part in the Dan Olsen video about the cleanup section of the documentary. He outlines exactly why that whole section is so reductive of what's actually going on, criticizing it for just being "Look how pretty the trees are", while also pointing out that cleanup probably won't happen at similar sites in less developed nations going forward. Peak liberalism from the doc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO4o-gYkr7E

Polar makes the best watch for skiing, but I suppose that’s a bit niche.

gradenko_2000 posted:Google being gigantic assholes lol I had pinned it down to either a Google or chromium update and was at the point of leaving it at the sole thing running in chromium and trying to figure out how long it took before it locked up my Linux desktop so hard I'd have to alt+F2 to an emergency shell to kill chromium. Like it wasn't just slowly down the PC, it was borderline soft locking it

garmin's still big for sports tracker watches - they have a legit advantage over generic smart watches like the apple watch with battery life. easily one week versus two days

Honestly this layoff was an exhausting, harrowing ordeal, but the silver lining is that if I hadn't gotten laid off, I would have to work for Uber now. gently caress that

I know in Oregon the whole recreational weed industry is teetering on collapse because we can’t export anything to other states and there’s such a glut in production nobody can make money if they aren’t diverting to the black market

Gunshow Poophole posted:I mean... Not NOW now lol Keeping an eye on LinkedIn, it looks like the Drizly(, an Uber Company  ) page is still up, and my connections there who DIDN'T get laid off when I did are still listed as working there, so it's possible they're just all getting assimilated into Uber proper. Whether this is worse than just a clean break with a few months' severance is, uh, debatablecertainly couldn't be me

I was really mad at the time about being laid off a couple months out from parental leave, but realistically if those layoffs had happened and I hadn't been part of them I would have been spending a bunch of the leave job-hunting anyway. At least this way there was no danger of me getting discouraged by the bad market and giving up on the search; I had to stay grinding because I had no other option.

Instead, Drizly provided backend tech that let local liquor stores provide their own deliveries. was this you?
