Agree, but I’ll say of those gimmicks on site subsidized food places and gyms are genuinely nice. Like I don’t want to play ping pong at work, but if you’re saving me a few gym and food trips a week I’m down.

Considering the rest of the post I would guess that HR sees it as a signal that the place allows their employees to leave their desk and not pretend to work for 15 minutes (morally repugnant to an American Protestant)

Moved very young so inner monologue is in the new language. Also, all my memories from my youth have been translated to the new language. Recent memories of old country are in my native tongue, so idk why the archives got a voiceover.

I was making chatgpt do some tedious thing and I kept telling it “you got X wrong” and it kept going “oh you’re right I got X wrong, I will not do that again” and giving the exact same output. lol the one time ChatGPT was giving me consistent outputs for the same prompt

I’m guessing allowing an annexation of the West Bank and financial and militarily supporting it is what America “gave up” to get the ceasefire agreement.

Every so often they’ll release an update that breaks everything, or they’ll patch something and the processor improvements will be bigger than intel or amd get out of a generation, showing how gimped it was to begin with.

Oh wow, this might actually be incredibly useful

This stuff is purely for my manager and I’ve recently noticed he’s basically not paying attention. Losing so much time for a ritual lol.

Well in a way it does…

Fight Club (1999)

I’d say same map but some parts of Europe are being cool. Like, fucking France??

Have you talked to othet climbers about whether this is an issue that sort of goes away after some experience? If it’s going to cause you significant physical harm, I’d say look for other activities. If it’s just discomfort or something that goes away with experience, I say keep going considering you love doing it.

For sports with a problem solving aspect, I’m not sure whether sweeping is the most physical intensive activity, but curling is basically a sport that comes with a fun physics/geometry problem attached. Just don’t become a skip if you want the exercise (they don’t sweep).

easily decades ago

Decades ago (in the early 2000s) it was considered settled science and taught in schools (in Canada at least). It was studied by scientists at oil companies decades before that. It’s been known for like 50 years now, almost an entire lifetime.

Quanta magazine is actually excellent for math and physics.

America gonna have to bomb some poor global south country to bail boeing out lmao

The funny part is 24 and 60 are already great numbers to base your time system on. They’re both very divisible which means you can divide up the day or hour into halves, thirds, and quarters without dealing with fractional time periods. It would remove a practical aspect of time keeping to no benefit.

Make a proposal without a plan or a feasibility study is peak management. Starting to understand how I end up with projects with very firm deadlines that are only vaguely defined and no one is sure if we have the resources on hand.

Those meetings come after you make the change where they tell you they actually expected the button would get smaller.

The main thing I hate about inflated expectations in job postings and interviews is I keep expecting to do interesting and challenging work. And the jobs keep being like “make a powerpoint and summarize your results to someone that does not know what a number is”.
