Yeah. In universe his personal human body count is zero. Out of universe, there's no way the water spirit merging didn't kill hundreds of fire nation sailors, but as far as the story itself is concerned, aang didn't actually kill anyone.

It's why it's so popular in highschool.

I'm not arguing it doesn't affect popularity, just that i don't think it's the main reason for the love, or really even in the top three.

Fluxer looked like it was ai coded before the hype for it got it enough funding for a code refactor they're doing right now. It'd be nice if it stayed around long term and became successful enough to be sustainable though.

I expect it's the same way people treat regular streamers, they're just a bit less careful about how they talk about their favorite vtuber in public than they way would a regular streamer.

How do I ACTUALLY get hired with the United States Postal Service (USPS)?

Jump

DaGeek247 @fedia.io 2w ago

Federal job applications are different from regular ones. You have several hurdles to meet before getting hired that just don't exist in the regular workforce.

The biggest hurdle is the resume. You have to list every job you've had, while also demonstrating the job requirements they posted on usajobs.gov, while also keeping it under two pages long.

When you apply for a federal job, your resume isn't getting sent straight to the office you wanna join. It's getting sent to OPM personnel who look it over to see if you meet the stated requirements. If the job listing says three years experience handling packages, your resume must have three years of package handling demonstrated in it. It doesn't have to be exact, (Amazon packages or receiving shipping at McDonalds every week is fine) but it does need to be worded in such a way that a stranger could tell that you have three years of package handling under your belt. Because it is a stranger who is checking for that.

Once it passes review and your resume meets the listed requirements, then it gets forwarded to the local hr, which is still not the office you're applying for, where they'll give it a look to do some points comparison on all the resumes they get to see who they'll interview. After that, if you're on the top of the pile, they'll give you a call for an interview.

Don't use the usajobs resume builder as anything other than a rough draft sketch tool. It has historically been very badly programed and caused resumes sent with it to be so ugly they cant be read by a human.
Used to be a federal resume only needed your entire work history. Now it needs that, and also must be under two pages long. (Verify this on the usajobs website specifically, it might change/I might be missread here)
the current admin has fucked up federal hiring in a major way. It's entirely possible the only reason you haven't been hired this year is trumps fault, and you would have got hired any other year.

There's a lot of great resources at reddit (I know!), because a lot of federal employees still hang out over there. It's worth a look at the various subreddits to see what the latest info is.

If I got in a collision with a car from the 70s with a car today, would not the 70s car win out since it would primarily be metal? If so why don't people buy more 70's cars?

The biggest one I saw was https://fluxer.app/ it has all the right marketing and investing, but also it had a single dev dumping assloads of code per day, but somehow it wasnt ai coded at all. I'm still watching it, because it got a lot of funding in the last push to see if it failss or if it actually goes well.

I wouldn't trust anything important on it though.

I think the real reason people recommend mint is, while deep down they know users will have a better time on Ubuntu, they cannot stand the idea of recommending that company's product directly.

I have no guilt when I say Ubuntu, and their managing company, have pulled enough shit over the years that it's not a good first choice for a new user.

But in practice the similarities are only skin deep and to me if they're already going to need to learn all the ways it differs from windows, why not put the same effort into learning something that also varies

The average user never leaves the web browser. The average gamer never leaves the web browser and steam. Skin deep is as far as most people ever go.

This not a condemnation, but it's important to be aware of the differences between the average user, the average gamer, and the average Linux user. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/

Plus I hate the windows style DE UIs so it seems like a weird choice

The average user hates the changes involved in switching away from the windows distro. The thing you hate about it is an objectively good reason for recommending it to a new user.

I have tried it multiple times over the years and I did not have great luck with things "just working" as everyone claims.

I have used it for several years now (with multiple sets of hardware) with no issues. Every single Linux version is going to have something it can't handle. Linux mint is stable and handles most stuff just fine. A bad experience is possible anywhere, so this isn't really a good reason to not recommend it for new users.
