Strongly depends on the company. I have done this exact thing several times when something was critical and it was actually noted as one of the reasons they told me as to why I got my last promotion. Something like “staying focused on the issue at hand while respectfully managing the pushback from the business while still moving ahead with the urgent fix.”

Basically I told the business to shove it in a very polite way and fixed the issue.

I like diamonds, my wife calls me a magpie. I buy her jewelry so I get to look at it while she wears it. That being said, I only buy jewelry with artificial diamonds for my better half. She jokingly reacts affronted when I tell her, with an incredulous face she will go “What? No children died for this? Some husband you are!”

Don’t you have issues with banking apps then? It’s the one thing holding me back from switching, but I haven’t really done a deep dive in it.

I’m in the same camp, although I wish it wasn’t so. I’ve gotten okayish at Rocket League with mouse and keyboard, but that really is a controller game.

Melatonin stimulates your bodies vitamin D creation, which makes you tired when it gets dark. It’s not a magical bullet to solve insomnia, but it helps sleep regulation for people who don’t get enough sunlight. You still need some sunlight though, just less.

700 mg of caffeine, is that like 29 coffees in a row?

“Let me put it on for you”

I have 4 cats and I handle them all without getting scratched while trimming their nails. There is one cat that will bite the nail scissors, she is tricky to handle because of that. When she catches a finger between the nail scissors and her teeth, she bites full force and that does not make a pleasant experience. I tried burritoing her, but it’s just easier to have her on her back and using sleight of hand to distract her.

It’s called Smart YouTube now for Android TV. For phone android there are several options. I like Youtube NewPipe.

Perfect spot for poaching devs from CDPR

I use an HP microserver gen 8, which I bought second hand (300$) and upgraded with a better CPU (20$ from ebay) and extra ram (80$) and 4 2TB SSD’s (100$ per). I installed Windows server on it because I just wanted it to work in a way I’m familiar with, but a colleague of mine installed Synology OS on it. You can use the cd drive bay for the OS disk (with some tweaking). Since you already have the disks, this would fit your budget.

What’s BOFH? Bitch Ole Fucking Hippie?

Edit: Ah, bastard operator from hell.

It’s like veganism for nerds.

I went to check on the valve after reading this comment and apparently it takes hulk strength to move it even a tiny bit. Thanks for making me aware of this. Will get that sorted today.

I have never heard of this kind of thing being an issue in EU countries. If your warranty is still good, they’ll simply fix/repair it without issues. Of course that’s purely anecdotal.

The guy on the left is sad because they missed the guy on the tracks, and the guy on the right is happy because he can see a train coming from the other direction.

Waw, a backgammon meme! As an avid player, that makes me happy.

Also: 13-8

I always thought that was what everyone said, as that’s actually how it’s spelled. I wasn’t even aware it was called different by some or even most people, although I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised as I can imagine many people not knowing the greek alphabet.

Well, if your AV tells you there is a backdoor in it, don’t open it, I would say. There can be valid reasons for cracks to be flagged, but you can usually check what it does by uploading it to a sandbox or checking the hash on virustotal.
