Apparently: Them playing our local city square, doing a terrible performance, acting like prima donnas, and then after inviting people to come see them at the merch booth after the show, then never showing up.

Naw dog. Nursing school is way more high stakes. You can get kicked out of the program for very little, it’s very high stakes. There are exams that you have to get 100% on or you’re out of the program. Iirc, you can get kicked out of the program for not being 15 minutes early too many times. Not for being late, for not being early. At least we compensate them with mediocre pay and shitty hours and horrible bosses upon graduation…

Don’t forget how the patient’s family treats nurses.

I’ve been using it on Ubuntu 22.04 for almost 2 years. It started off rocky, with frequent restarts needed, maybe every week or two. It’s been pretty solid, though I did give up on using it for screen sharing and captures, which is unfortunate timing in today’s WFH world.

Another way of looking at it: Lemmy is retaining the engagement of the vast majority of new users who have joined recently.

Is he poor? Maybe. The question is why is he poor? He just sold Mar-a-lago to a company owned by Don Jr., alledgedly for something over $400 million.

He might be poor because he’s hiding all his assets on offshore banks. If so, then the question becomes: why is he doing that?

Dude should get that looked at by a doctor.

15 years and 4 letter username here as well. I really hadn’t done much with it up until 3-4 years ago and I really started liking many of the communities there a lot over the last few years. Some were terrible, but many were great, largely because of the volunteer moderators.

But, I’m all but done with it at this point. Really enjoying Lemmy and Mastodon.

Once at work I said “My Audi sedan has a towing capacity of over 5,000 lbs, isn’t that crazy?” A coworker said “That’s almost as much as my Tacoma!” (Early 2000s model). Turns out 5,000 is closer to his combined vehicle weight + towing capacity.

I remember my grandfather using the Grand Prix to tow and pull out stumps and stuff instead of the work truck.

Hackers, absolute gold! People like to crap all over it because it’s not realistic, but the vibe of it really fits the hacking scene. Another similar movie, that has some pretty cool hacking vibe, but people also crap all over is Swordfish, 26% tomatoes, 59% audience.

My pupper really hates boopers, it’s quite sad. She’ll turn her head when she sees one incoming.

ProTip: Mixing mortar will kill the drill fairly quickly, but slower than I expected. This is the non-brushless one for the record.

Also ProTip: You can often find them for $20 on ebay. $80 for the brushless, NIB.

Been a real workhorse.

I had been programming C for almost a decade at that time, and was tired of working so low level. I hoped Java would get me higher level, but it didn’t work out. Eventually ended up on Python, which was fairly light weight, fast enough, but a joy to program (unlike java).

The wonderful ditto machine! Loved the smell of those copies!

All over the map, but ~7 years ago when I moved into my new house I bought a set of Porter Cable cordless 20V that has served me well. DeWalt table saw and drywall screw gun, Hitachi and Makita nail guns. Bosch router and sander. Old school Milwaukee sawzall. Old American made Craftsman socket set. Makita compressor.

The big issue with the PC is that they just don’t have a very big tool eco-system.

I got the Porter Cable because I previously had a small set of DeWalt tools and felt like I under utilized them over 20 years. So instead of going contractor grade I went more prosumer. In retrospect I wish I’d bought Milwaukee, because I’ve used the hell out of the PC, but they’ve served me well.

It’s not cancel culture if everyone is just tired of your bullshit.

Your parents weren’t worried about the math co-processor doing all your homework for you? That was the GPT-387? :-)

I figured it was board.

This is the weirdest attempt to get my website security question answers… But… Slackware on floppies.

2023, the year July never ended?
