Imagine that day of work… Thinking you’ll go make some connections maybe troubleshoot an issue oh fuck it’s a 500 lb bear!

Actually I think he screwed it

Wasn’t this a movie years ago? I think it was called “safety not guaranteed” or something like that.

Just for causing anarchy… Tell your mom “I love you dad”.

As walking off the bus: “thanks for ride, oh BTW guw in row g is dead. Hope you have a good day”

If you know enough about the topic, whatever you say doesn’t have to be true. Look up a few rock climbing locations around you and claim to be a rock climber. Now you need to know some basics in case someone asks a follow up, like where have you climbed?

No one will double check your “fun fact” as long as its not too crazy. No saying you’ve gone to the moon or played guitar in msg. Your favorite food was Gordon Ramsey beef wellington? Doesn’t matter if you ever actually ate it. Just know that it’s not a stew.

Except compare windows 8 to windows 10 totally different and they changed their entire direction. It’s possible.

I feel like they go “we need something new and fast. Forget quality or what people want just make it new and different.” and then a few years later “that was a mistake, make it work well and listen to the customers”… And repeat

Granted I’m running Debian but…

Everyother version of windows has been good, the others are shit…

Gotta admit the pattern has held true

I used to write a bunch of work instructions at my previous job, not for customers but employees. It’s definitely a skill but my God they can get long with all the details. I once wrote instructions with a part to screw a unit into a fixture. It took 5 pages, there was 1 screw.

I know what that word means… Hypno so it has mind controller powers and crit is shorthand for critter.

Wait there is no n… Shit… /s

Yes I know what hypocrite means, this was only a joke

I’ll always remember my grandfather’s last words before he kicked the can… “hey, wanna see how far I can kick this can?”

Seems systemic… Spend trillions every year and never win a war since desert storm or ww2 before that. It’s not budget, it’s not man power either the military are doing something really poorly or there is some type of corruption somewhere taking that money…

I agree I’m just confused how us seems to spend so much on military yet lose every war. It’s like a jock spending 12 hrs a day in the gym and losing every boxing match against the local chess club.

Not to mention so much news that we “rescued” one airmam from a down helicopter. Great, now compare that to D-day or any battle in the US civil war…no contest. We are using so many resources for “war” rather right or wrong doesn’t matter, we do nothing but lose. I’d fire every officer in the military, you have an effective unlimited budget, you have millions of man hours at your disposal but consistently fail at every “war” since… Desert storm? Even that is questionable. Even before that have Vietnam… Lost… Korea… Didn’t actually lose but still didn’t win… Ww2 ok yeah we won with cooperation from most other countries.

US is a “super power” and spend more than the 9 countries in the top 10 of military spending but we always lose…wtf??

What I don’t get if it’s really such a priority from him and he is so mad…doesnt America have enough bombs to just level the region? Can’t he just make a call and say “kill everyone, make it glass” and it would be done?

That would be horrible to do. I’m not condoning it and thousands of lives would be lost. That said in the 80s America could literally destroy the earth… With advancements in technology and the money we spent couldn’t they just say “do it” and make the whole area done for atleast a few generations? How do they lose wars? If they are so dead set on this can’t they just carpet bomb the entire country?

Back after the initial the reddit migration some guy posted that he was going camping and wanted to know how he could ensure he wouldn’t poop for 3 days.

From working in medical device if that’s all the documentation he is writing I’m jealous.

Absolutely. I got well acquainted with the regulations. The sad part is it was so slow to update anything nothing got updated.

This system needs to be operational by next week. It will be a month before its well made. This needs to be operational by next week. Ok, but then we can fix it right?

Not to mention any changes to anything got evaluated as either a notice update, a 90 day submission, or a full submission(6 months - 2 years depending on fda, bsi and severity of change). That’s in addition to the actual work. I could make a change in a afternoon and may see it in production next year.

I worked in medical electronic manufacturing. Changing a single setting for ease of use to the operator was planned as a 2 year project. Literally change a 0 to 1 in one of the files….

I preferred the no poop for 3 days thing but both are classics

Look our ancestors drew an imaginary line on a map. I was born on this side and you were born on that of that line, ipso facto I am better than you.
