The battlefield isn’t even being faught on the Ukrainian side using the most cutting edge of Western technology and you want to keep fighting? Holy shit.
I am the lead on a team of 5 and technically we have an on call rotation but it is rarely used. In the last 3 years I have been called after hours a total of 4 times and TBH it was usually due to an AWS outage which resulted in us saying well let’s see how long it takes for them to o restore services and then someone run a safety check to make sure shit is normal.
For that I make $120k, have unlimited PTO, and work from home.
Came to say this. I enjoy hunting and outdoor activities so I have a multitude of gear. What I use depends on where I am going, who is going with me, and what activities we plan on doing. Such as:
30ft Toy Hauler Camper
UTV and flatbed trailer
Truck bed Tent
Tents of various sizes and various types of climates
Sleeping bags for various climates
Hiking/Hunting clothes and shoes for various climates
Binos and Spotting scopes of various styles
Backpacks… So many backpacks
Rifles of various calibers for hunting different game and environments and various fishing poles
Lifejackets, paddle boards, and kayaks
I know 2 people who wrote COBOL code for some major healthcare systems a long time ago and they came out of retirement about 5 years ago to update/convert that code. They made six figure salaries working from home to update that code.
I use Windows for work and gaming, MacOS for app development (mostly because I can code for iOS and Android in one environment), and ChromeOS for my daily browsing.
I just enjoy how chrome always works when I need to just browse the internet or buy something online without issue.
When I worked as a IT Tech at a University years ago we had a lot of MacOS users who believed they could just pick it up and use it like their iPhone. It was absurd how well their marketing worked because those users either forced themselves to learn it or dropped it and went back to Windows.
I know a lot of iOS users who have iPads and iPhones but still have windows PCs because they don’t have to worry about compatibility issues.
Well Bears are fucking massive so if they slapped you without claws they still have the ability to break bones and cause other severe injury.
Agreed. SoM was also a classic. I just enjoyed the aesthetic of Evermore and it had a cool dog companion.
Try Secret of Evermore. The combat is very different but the game allows for two players! One controls the main character and the other can control his pet dog. It’s one of the rare action RPGs of the time.
FF6 is such a great game. I saved up and bought both of these games as a kid, lots of late nights irrigating fields and killing rattlesnakes to get those titles. Both titles were great in their own way and I can’t imagine my childhood without them. Another great game was Secret of Evermore.
I wish Wild Arms had an official mobile port. Such a great series with no modern IP usage to take advantage of its cult status.
The official mobile port is well done. I know it wasn’t always the case but after some past updates I haven’t had any issues with it. I picked it up on Google Play and it was worth the $8 I paid.
Came to say the same. Why are you driving users to their platform at all?
SNW and Lower Deck are fucking fantastic. SNW is a true to form traditional Trek show and Lower Decks is funny and diverse enough for those who feel Trek takes itself to seriously.
If Paramount runs afoul of finances I am sure someone will buy the IP rights to at least these. TBH, Strange New Worlds needs to be available on TV and streaming.
My cousin is a lobbyist (the shitty insurance kind) and it’s difficult conversing with someone who literally sells out the rest of us in the name of capitalism. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to have a kid on the opposite side of the political spectrum doing a job you feel is dishonest and hoping they do the right thing.
I think Strange New Worlds is the best ST in a long long time. I really hope the strike doesn’t derail what I see as a true return to the ST format. Discovery is more like a mini series run since it tends to focus on a singular topic for an entire season.
Like I said. “Real” Confession Bear memes.
Real Confession Bear memes were my favorite
I think that’s actually closer to the mark than many realize. Awards are great when they are not directed at the company or it’s rep in a negative manner as they show positive engagement and help the company with sales marketing. When awards and upvote/downvote counters are used to highlight that the users are having a negative experience then it hurts the platform image. Similarly to how YouTube removed the downvote tracker because their marketing team realized it hurt their sales revenue with business partners.
Did we forget Russia invaded and captured Crimea and then said they had no further desires to expand or wage more war against Ukraine? GTFO
