I'll see your "Full-ass conversations" and raise you "Full-ass technical convos" with no knowledge of talking on the phone the next day... which made for a weird follow-up.

That's two words, my dude.

The one scene in Lion King hits harder without James Earl Jones on this planet anymore.

The world knew it before Epstein was killed.

This isn't news. It was on television.

THIS ISN'T NEWS.

We knew this 6 months ago. John fucking Oliver did a piece of this. Woo.

Now, the DEPTH of involvement is so far just speculation and opinions from trending.

"Increase social service programs so that we address the reason why they're homeless and doing drugs in the first place."

If conservatives were really about ending homeless and getting them paying taxes instead of 'just' consuming benefits, then they'd be in on this plan of phased rehab and rehousing to accomplish that. It's an investment they don't seem to see and I worry they look down on addict as trash not victims, and merely want the homeless* to silently vanish.

*I know it's not the latest popular word that privileged people use to feel better. Homeless apparently aren't offended as long as people are talking about the situation and investing time in their future, because stick and stones.

Thank you for caring and offering that correction. OP's success needs this feedback, and I hope he takes it to heart.

... with a panic button and much greater access to addiction resources.

If there are 10 steps to turning a homeless person into a housed, working taxpayer, this is like step 2.

Canada has failed so move to step 3 because "just arrest those leeches" is the position of half our society.

  1. Plan well in advance
  2. Be offsite. No pizza parties in the break room.
  3. Give people the choice (goof off or work; no holiday) with a sign-ups in advance.
  4. Company pays all fees 100%. Bus/Uber to/from work or nearby as possible so people can maybe not bring their car.
  5. Go-karts and laser tag and escape rooms and pirate river cruises; take ideas and then vote well in advance
  6. if 2 people go, 2 people go. They hobnob with the boss over the snack break and talk about the excellent discussion after. Even if it's just talk about cats because we're here to build teams not debate ticket DEV371819. 6.Vote on new ideas periodically like every few mo. Keep it fresh. If someone sees a good idea, make sure they know they should suggest it and everyone decides when/if it goes into the queue because the suspension bridge is f'n awesome.

I can guarantee that the 4th monthly field trip will show the Fibonacci numbers going up. Be okay if no one shows. It'll improve.

Movies are a fun and easy goof off. It allows everyone to self-group so they can talk about Janice in Accounts and how she stole my leftovers. Also left-handed bowling is just dumb enough that people will go ironically and accidentally have fun.

I'm surprised you held out this long! GoDaddy has had waves of stressing, and departures in correlative droves.

You show remarkable resilience and you can be proud of that.

You don't hate email; you hate BAD email. Probably broadcast junk.

GOOD email is private Bank statements over a provably secure e2e transport marked clearly for filters (with a JSON section for import automatically; am I right?). It's "here is a new copy of the plans." It's "Dear Aunt Helen."

Every now and then, although I know and support the alternate position for reasons I think have been shown as obvious, repeatedly, I sometimes think a 1¢ postage for unsolicited mail - okay, make it a buck - would be okay... IFF that could be figured so the recipient would be assured of getting half. Make it cost; make it pay.

No no, hear me out. Unpaid transit charges for unsolicited bulk email by the person owning the domain is now inter-region or international wire fraud, and the people making a habit of it will build up enough that they'll warrant action. Ergo, make it financial and maybe we'll see cops raiding scam shops.

That's the dream anyway....

Pay-wall link: https://globalnews.ca/news/9938774/air-canada-vomit-seat-passenger-apology/

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
