Enshitification.

You have to get on your knees to slurp noods.

Today you learned: Plastic has a far lower melting point than metal.

Somewhere out there a game developer asked, “What if we made a game like SSX Tricky, but with trains?” There you have it.

Is there anyone here that can give an invite to the game?

If I was only getting paid while in the air, you bet your ass I would have been sitting on my ass doing nothing, plus reporting their asses if the company wasn’t giving on call pay. I imagine this would get you fired for insubordination pretty quickly.

Unpaid work is slavery, full stop.

I am a fan of predecessor, which is a paragon remake. Does anyone know how the gameplay of deadlock compares to it? I’m a fan of pushing lanes rather than overwatch or pubG type play.

Good dim sum in China Town

You can bring a horse to water, but you can’t hold it’s head underwater until the bubbles stop. I feel this post deep in my soul. I don’t even do tech support, I do insurance enrollment in an HR office.

I give explicit written instructions on how to fill out the forms, and get reply emails asking how to fill out the forms. The second email then includes step by step pictures with the written instructions. I will get another reply email again asking how the forms get filled out. My final response is a phone call to ask if they need work accommodations for low vision or blindness. If they don’t need those accommodations, I make them find my emails and read them back to me over the phone.

Those that are unemployed and looking for work absolutely have the right to complain about the economy with the rest of us.

What about importing whiskey from Ireland? There are differences in taste, ingredients, and production methods, but it might be similar enough to be an alternative. Here is a good reference about the differences between whiskey and burbon. Bourbon is a spirit that evolved from whiskey production methods.

So glad I bought a new PC right after he was sworn in.

I’ve had ferrets for 20 years, (obviously not the same ferrets the whole time.) You absolutely should NOT bathe them daily. Bathing strips oil the oils out of their fur, and causes their sebaceous glands to go into overdrive, making them even more smelly. For issues with smelly ferrets, you have to clean the bedding regularly. On a weekly basis I would wash their blankies and all of their beds and stuffies. As they loaf around in their beds, the oil from their skin rubbs off on their bedding and accumulates which creates some stink. Another way to reduce odor is to clean the litter boxes 2-3 times a day, and promptly clean up accidents. These are high maintenance pets, but as long ask they have had the musk glands removed, they aren’t as stinky as they have been made out to be.
