  • Post vacation blues

    Jump

  • One of the ways I knew I was burned out from my job was that when I got back from vacation, I felt as bad as I did just before the vacation. No improvement at all. The vacations were fine, but it was like opening a door into the same flood every day.

  • If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this

  • Oh that's nice. We visited Germany about 10 years ago and didn't get international cell service, so we were relying on hotel wifi and other wifi hotspots. This kind of thing would have been great.

  • Ours was on a wall across from the office, but the wall opened up to the cafeteria just next to it. I recall students sometimes using it during lunch.

  • Is Mommy and Daddy Fighting?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I can't figure it out either. Except that Trump is a user - a people user - and he saw Musk as someone he could use.

    There are two things about this falling out that surprise me: First, it took a LOT longer than I expected, and second, it's nowhere near as contentious as I expected.

  • Musk sports black eye at White House farewell with Trump

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, you're probably right.

    Wasn't Tesla the company that had a person (or group of people) dedicated to distracting him, thereby letting the rest of the company actually do work?

  • Micro-retirement

    Jump

  • A woman I know did just that, except she wrote a book during her "off" years.

  • Musk sports black eye at White House farewell with Trump

    Jump

  • I LOVE that he thinks his leaving government to refocus on Tesla will solve the sales issue Tesla has been experiencing.

    He just does not get it.

    Republican Sen. Joni Ernst defends proposed Medicaid cuts: 'We all are going to die'

  • Hey, the death panels the Republicans predicted are coming soon!

  • Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?

    Jump

  • Vuescan.

  • I just remembered the discussion without separation was in Disaster, when Troi was the senior officer on the bridge and a warp core breach was developing. Ro wanted her to separate the ship to save as many people as possible, but Troi wanted to wait in the hopes someone would get to engineering and fix the problem.

  • Cringe at Farpoint

    Jump

  • Yeah what was the point of that test?! "Oooh he give orders good."

    Break out the joystick like in Insurrection and let's fucking dock this thing MANUALLY.

  • literally useless

  • A hypothesis to investigate isn't a bad idea, that's the scientific method. Staying married to it at all costs is a major problem.

  • Cringe at Farpoint

    Jump

  • Yeah I read somewhere they found it just slowed down the episode too much, so it wasn't used much after the first season.

    Correctly used in the movie though.

  • Cringe at Farpoint

    Jump

  • Not to ruin the mood, but I think the idea was that it was this scary procedure only used in extreme emergencies.

    For example, when the episode was running short by about 5 minutes...

  • Starfleet's most interesting captain

    Jump

  • Well, yeah. You need them for FOIA and potential lawsuits and audits.

  • literally useless

    Jump

  • I just read Framed by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey...and it's insane how far the police and prosecution will go to "save face".

    There's one story in that book where the actual murderer came in to the police station AND CONFESSED with details that only he could have known, because he felt guilty about the wrong person being tried for the murder...and prosecution continued on the innocent person, while the actual murderer was ignored.

    It's an enraging read. I actually had to put it down a few times, because I was so frustrated.

    And, of course, as bad as it is that these innocent people are being prosecuted (and some even executed), another problem is that the actual murderer is still roaming free...and many of these crimes are now unsolved, because the police were so focused on the innocent person that they ignored everything else.

  • Who is actually creating a legitimate Facebook account at this point?

    I moderate a few groups on Facebook, and every account I see for new members that was created within the last few years is a spammer. The people who wanted Facebook accounts already have them. Very very few actual human beings are signing up for new legitimate accounts at this point.

    Facebook should just close the new account option. They're working toward AIs talking to each other and won't need human interaction any more anyway.
