I wish I could get my partner to see it this way.. they work in IT and manage the MDM tho, and the other person with access has been partner’s friend and colleague for over 10 years, so partner is confident it’ll all be fine.
Such a dumb mindset for someone who constantly complains of being burnt out.. like no shit you are burned out, you check work emails all day/night, and handle them regardless of time..
I have a camera from… before that era (a cannon retina II from 1937-1939 that my grandfather used during the war), it has a textured film advance knob that’s super easy to use quickly. Someone skilled with their camera could probably get 3-4+ shots if they were prepared for it. If they had a camera with a film advance with the flip-up swivel knob, it could be considerably more.
I used mine for a photography course (everything about it still works flawlessly, just missing some powder coat paint from a couple places) and without much skill I could have managed maybe 2 myself - but analogue cameras were dying when I was growing up, the closest you’d usually come is those disposables or cheap plastic shell cameras, and you couldn’t do much with those. So totally different skillset than I was exposed to.
Ok I don’t actually follow chess, but wasn’t this a thing that wrapped up a while ago as a “no proveable misconduct” and he was again allowed to compete..?
Or is this a different vibrating sex toy issue… (arguably worse..)?
Yes, but they do so through the male gaze.
Most porn made for men is really unappealing to women. It’s degrading, the men tend to be unappealing, it’s not intimate, and it’s not realistic. In short, it’s not experiences we would want to have, so it’s not arousing.
Porn made for women by women is actually a decent seller with women, much like erotic fiction (and importantly, men like it also), but it’s still a pretty niche market because the assumption is women don’t want it.
It’s sort of a self-perpetuating issue.
Especially when coffee grounds are a wonderful addition to compost, and help the breakdown of the rest of the material.
Large scale composting of all organic material (or even small scale, really) is much more efficient and impactful than trying to collect only coffee grounds for this purpose.
I didn’t sign up yet, because I’m not set to recertify for like a while yet, and I’m trying to avoid paying for a degree doing me no good.
I’m currently on a $0 repayment, and have been for a long while, but I’ve been making a regular paycheck for the last year, and if I had needed to recertify since 2020 I’d have had to pay.
I don’t know if it would impact my repayment/certification to apply, but I won’t be employed soon anyway, so I’m putting it off as long as I can.
But I also don’t know that it’s ever going to be implemented anyway.. republicans seem really into screwing us poors. I’ll just wait.
They go out of their way to add complexity and failure points.
I read a thing just the other day about essentially that. Not that specific issue, but the way their timekeeping works (by default) and is a disaster (literally) when it fails.
My server admin has a donation page for server support costs, and anything over what is needed for the local server gets donated to the main fedi devs, so.. yes, they do.
Ungh, yeah I used to have that problem with my laptop when I was in college.
I only booted it up for classes unless I had a test coming up I needed to study for or something. Because why the fuck would I not do that - I had a regular computer at home for everything else.
Every couple weeks, that meant it was updating instead of being available for note taking, and usually for the entire hour I needed it. Because apparently setting the updates to run during shutdown wasn’t good enough, they needed to be run on boot, because fuck you that’s why.
Linux is just.. hey I should probably update this shit at some point… meh, tomorrow.
That baby was creepy in 2000 whatever Aly McBeal year (single female lawyer!) and it’s creepy now.
The sad thing is that’s basically what they encourage. So wasteful. Because they want you on a subscription model.
I have a hideous lamp that I hate that’s worth about a grand. It doesn’t look like it’s worth that much, just a heavy brass base and reverse painted landscape shade.. but all antique and sought after.
My cats are probably going to break it so I should sell it but it was the last lamp my mom refurbished before she died (why it didn’t get sold and I got it in the first place)
I also have a brass fairy floor lamp that, with no shade, is worth about $1500, but that one looks valuable, and is very rare (and super cool)
