Here! 😅

I know of at least one, but it was started by a few people because they had had bad experiences at big companies and wanted a place that put the employees first.

Some people are into that

We actually hired two engineers like that. We didn’t know that they were dating, but we knew we needed to get both if we wanted either of them. Worked out really well!

That’s about where I am. I commonly have a phone in my dream, but I can never type words properly.

Jumps not jumped. You are missing an ‘s’ otherwise. I’m amazed how common this mistake is 😁

Jokes on you, I’m already running Linux!

I know ozone degrades some plastics really quickly. I’m not sure if that’s just ozone or also the oxygen radicals, but I’m worried for the plastic parts in your fridge. I’d have to look into ice makers’ construction materials to be sure.

She’s gotten so big! I remember your earlier posts from when she was just a little kitten.

I miss it

Idn’t no about but you, that perfectly clear was to my.

I type much faster now that I use Dvorak, but I also forced myself to learn to touch type at the same time. Was it Dvorak that made me faster? Maybe! 😛

I viscerally hate this. Thank you

Bullshit propaganda making climate change out as an individual issue instead of the systemic issue dominated by a few companies and the economic system that it actually is.

This is also weirdly anti-natalist.

I have one like this but another who puts up with a lot. If I pet her or put a hand on her before I turn in bed, she’s fine with it. I think it’s because she then knows that I’m aware of her. I’ve also accidentally kicked her (not hard) a few times while tossing and turning and she didn’t care. But heaven forbid I sneeze or even inhale like I’m about to.

Ground is a very relative concept in electronics. You are correct about earth ground, but if the case is unplugged and you touch it, you are still grounding yourself to chassis ground. Chassis ground is the important one for this since the danger isn’t electrocution (assuming the PC is unplugged) but electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage components.

This is still a massive simplification of the concept of ground.

Probably not as many as we’d like to think. I recently got to run a few days of tests at Lawrence Livermore National Labs with an absurdly massive laser. At one point we needed to bring in a small speaker for an audio test. It took the lab techs and managers about two hours and a couple phone calls to some higher ups to make sure it was ok and wouldn’t damage anything. There’s so much red tape and procedure in the way that I don’t think there’s an opportunity to just fuck around. The laser has irreplaceable parts that people aren’t willing to jeopardize. Newer or smaller lasers are going to be more relaxed. This one is old enough to be my father, and it’s LLNL’s second biggest single laser iirc. And they are the lab using lasers for fusion, so they have big lasers.

And if there’s ever a brand integration, he’ll spout their marketing drivel uncritically and try to pass it off as science. I can’t trust him anymore.

Why are you making it weird and tied to race. I’m not thinking about the cat’s genitals. That woman isn’t, and her cats sure aren’t. You are the only one thinking about cat genitals in this situation.
