Hard disagree. No books should ever be burned. Don’t legitimize the practice.

Are you lost? I didn’t talk about hiring practices.

Graceful degradation - pfft.

Progressive enhancement - yeah!

I think I see where you’re coming from. I don’t hear grifters in that phrase, personally. I’d almost say the opposite; workaholics are more likely to invoke the phrase. Or, to put it another way, victims of upper management gaslighting.

working hard is not a virtue

I have to disagree here. Well, probably. I figure, if you’re not lazy/half-assing your job, you’re pretty much working hard, right? I see it as being diligent about your job, and yes, I do see some virtue in that.

But you also wrote “indicator of poor management” which makes me think you’re using “working hard” as a label for something like “unpaid overtime”. That would be a whole different ballgame.

I don’t think this post is a good fit. The name of the community is “mildly infuriating”, not “absolutely enraging”!

Yeah, basically you’d have to cut those figures down to 1/4 of what they are before I’d consider them reasonable.

I do agree with you in principle – if the organizer is feeding everyone, it’s only decent to pitch in a few bucks to cover the groceries.

Looking at the post, it’s $345 for commuters – or about $70 per meal.

For people staying in the accommodations, it’s about $210 per night.

Overall, that seems expensive for a camping trip on Meetup.

Is it not an ID because of that? I don’t see the relevance of mentioning address here.

Edit: oh, proof of residence? I went back and re-read the GP. It makes more sense in that context.

United States ID card

Passport seems like it sorta fits, but it’s hardly universal.

I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing “pdoman” in commands by mistake.

The original movie came out in 1994, Universe came out in 2009. That’s 15 years. 2009 to 2024 is also 15 years. Universe is about to be older than Stargate was when it came out. Yikes.

I just hope they actually have their social security card. A quick googling told me that you need a current ID to get the social security administration to issue a replacement card. Talk about a vicious cycle!

Heh, thanks. I have heard good things about the show. I should probably pick it up and start watching at some point. I just really hate that sense of “unfinished story”.

Or surreal maybe? That would make more sense given the context…

tail end of The Expanse

What? They actually finished it?!

googles

Oh. Season 6. That leaves out an entire 1/3 of the story from the books :(

I’d love to watch the show, but I can’t bear the thought of the story being that unfinished in the TV adaptation :(

Canon

Ah, yes, the word that separates which made-up stories are more real than other made-up stories!

What do you get when you cross Family guy with BTTF?

1.21 giggetywatts!

Stop patronizing restaurants where they don’t pay their staff a livable wage.

In most parts of the US, that’s all of them. This position is de facto “never eat out or order takeout”. I’m not sure that’s entirely realistic.

Thank you for writing 57°F instead of 57.20°F :)
