Yeah. There’s always a chance that a customer could have an issue on a weekend and then I’ve gotta fix it. Once I was on 27 hours of conference calls over a weekend. But as I’ve gotten better at my job those sorts of things happen less and less.

Honestly the worst part of my job is doing my timesheets and updating weekly status, but when the weather’s good I do that from my hammock with a cold beer in hand which makes it suck less.

I’m salaried so I don’t have a lunch break. I work from home so I basically set my own hours as long as I can be contacted from about 10am to 3pm and go to any meetings I have scheduled.

I’m less concerned with them being effective and more concerned they’ll fuck up and kick off Kessler Syndrome

I owe my soul to the private equity group who owns my house.

I don’t have any resources but my Volvo has a long, low hood and a heavily padded engine cover

We can’t have pop-up headlights because of pedestrian safety, but you can buy a 5,000 pound vehicle that does 0-60 in three seconds and has a hood level with most people’s heads because that’s totally safe for pedestrians.

I’ve been to three local grocery chains and all of them have frozen turkey breast, but no turkeys.

I mean, it’s nearly June so I understand why, but I have a hankering for turkey and need to go to an actual butcher shop.

Turkeys

Except we primary him and we either lose and get blamed for when he loses, or watch our progressive challenger lose because the rest of the country hates him.

America isn’t nearly as progressive as us Internet weirdos think it is.

I hate Biden and hate that I have to vote for him. Future generations are definitely going to hate us.

You know what, being a dev myself that’s something I’ll try as a hobby project. We’ll see how it work out.

That’s what heroes do

Yet again I’m asking the Fediverse: What do they think a good economy should look like?

Managers realized that the nerds’ autism could be exploited for profit

I could see it being useful if it was an accessory to your phone. Not having to dig my phone out of my pocket to take a picture of something to look it up, or having a push-to-talk badge or pendant would make it more convenient, especially for folks like me who don’t wear watches. And with Bluetooth it would have decent battery life.

But the damn thing can’t even set a timer.

Yeah, you tend to learn from those sort of mistakes

Apple has a ton of engineering experience with hinges from their laptop days, and even the old lampshade-style iMac.
