What are you talking about?

The same thing happened with me. This was probably going to be my last year anyway, but i noped out real quick after the increase. Only reason I still had it was because I had some stuff in OneDrive that I was slowly backing up elsewhere. That just gave me the motivation to take care of it finally.

Huh? This is per carat. Also lab diamonds are perfect and much better than what you would find. They are now trying to market diamonds that have flaws as better than a perfect diamond. It’s really fucking stupid. Before, it was the less flaws they have, the more value. Now with lab diamonds, you need to have some flaws.

Most of the jewelers in town where I live have closed shop. Lab grown is definitely having a huge overall impact to the cost of diamonds as a whole. Hopefully diamonds will be a thing of the past soon and we can use them for other applications.

Was this in the Bible or something? Why is it immoral?

Let me ask this. Imagine 1 person owned many farms of food. They sell their food and they own a huge house on top of the hill. There is more than enough food to feed every person in town. The only way for anyone to get food is to buy it from this one person since he owns all of the farm land and if anyone tries to farm their own food, he uses his money to push them around and makes them stop.

A family is struggling to find work. The father asks the farm owner if he could get some food to eat. The farm owner obviously says no. Pay or no food, he says. The family ends up starving to death.

Would it be wrong for the family to steal food in this case so they can survive? Or is that immoral? Is the farm owner immoral for not helping them? He has plenty of money to last him 100 lifetimes, his belly is full, but he keeps eating. Who is wrong here?

Can you further expand on why you think it’s bad? I’m generally curious.

Oops yeah. Not sure why I was thinking Oracle

Well you will be happy to hear that it’s owned by Broadcom now. While salt is better, I wouldn’t use it just because of Broadcom.

But then again, Oracle now owns Redhat, so…

Where can you get free water? Unless you have a well or something.

paste. I don’t think a lot of people know this command, but it can be handy at times

There are a few services out there that do this. They are basically job tracking sites, but a lot of them now use something like chatgpt to tailor your resume to a job description. I do recommend these services to track jobs you applied to, but they are not always the best in rewriting your resume.

One thing I have done is create a section of skills that closely match the jobs I am applying for. You can then use chatgpt API and create a prompt. This makes it easier so that all you need to do is give it the job description and it will tailor those skills sets to the job and I then just copy and paste that into my resume.

Ok but containers generally have a lot less dependencies. If you are making your own images, then you know exactly how to rebuild them. In the event something happens, it makes it much easier to get up and running again and also remember what you did to get the service running. The only other thing that would be better is Nix.

If you use an image that someone is maintaining, this makes it even easier and there are services out there that will keep your containers up to date when a new image is available. You can also just automate your image builds to run nightly and keep it up to date.

Yeah I agree. I just got 20tb in mine. Decided to just z2, which in my case should be fine. But was contemplating the same thing. Going to have to start doing z2 with 3 drives in each vdev lol.

That’s because east-west is not based on the region, it’s based on cultural aspects, along with a few other things like how people communicate. This is why Australia is western as it has a western culture. So, the whole cold war NATO thing is not 100% accurate, but defining first, second, and third world is since those are defined by political ideologies.

I almost erased this movie from my mind and you have to bring it up again?

I used to go to this ice cream place. It was one of those places where you get your own ice cream and toppings and then they weigh it and you pay. The people there were really nice and very friendly. Anyway, I was there one day and the owner was interviewing someone for a job there. She was telling this person how after they switched from cash tips to electronic tips, tips went up like 20 or 30%.

I never really tipped at this place, but it’s definitely something when they turn the screen and there is a button for like a 25% tip and then it goes up from there. Pretty fucked up when all they are doing is making sure the ingredients are there so you can serve yourself.

At this point I find myself tipping less and less. I will only tip at places that have full service.

No.

I’ll have to give this another try. I tried it before and I stopped using it for a reason that I don’t remember. It looked promising though.

Oh yes, thanks. I just had blue collar jobs on my mind. Brain fart.

Don’t do a blue white collar job. Go into a trade school and do that instead. Drive a truck, be an electrician, plumber, whatever. These are still good jobs and you actually might be happier doing something like this when compared to working in an office. At least you feel like you are doing something and you can see what you accomplish right away.

I’m much older than you and have been working in an office since I can remember. I have been really thinking about doing or at least learning a trade even though that would mean a huge pay cut for me.

Not a fan of the “modern” style Godzilla movies. This one was really good.
