I’m normally a fan of xkcd but I don’t get this one.
Why would calculus teachers drill holes in the base of the tanks?
I decided to move out of my mother’s house. I found a place to rent, it was 1.7 miles from my job. It was just a room in a house but it was good enough. I decided to take it and called the owner.
We met at 5:00 at the panera bread after I got out of work. I signed my first ever real contract. It was my first big boy official legally binding contract.
Next day I go to work all excited and telling everyone about it. I hear there is a all employee meeting. Then all contractors get sent home early. I go to the meeting…
They announce they are closing the facility. Everyone will be let go. If we want to move to the new location we will be given priority otherwise it was nice to work with us.
Less than 24 hours after signing a legally binding contract I was going to be jobless.
Eventually I agreed to move. I have grown in my career. I live with my girlfriend who I met her. I still work with the same company.
Overall it’s a improvement over my previous experience and it was 9 years ago…
I tend to recommend a 3 year cycle. Year 1 upgrade peripherals (speakers, monitors, maybe chair, keyboard, mouse etc) year 2. Upgrade video card and hard drives. year 3. Upgrade motherboard, ram and cpu. Year 4 repeat year 1
With this you can you can do 95% of the latest stuff with “good” stuff (think XX70 cards rather then 80 or 90 series) since you are never that outdated on any portion.
Great they removed them… Did they report the images to the authorities?
Partially I agree with “official acts” being above the law. For example certain judges can order someone to be killed and not fave murder charges… If I order my neighbor to be killed, I get murder charges. That “official act” is above the law. We granted those judges that right. Cops can break speed limits when chasing criminals. Again that’s an official act and should be above the law.
Now the concern comes from who declares an action “official”.
A judge can’t say Rob a bank and declare it an official act. A police officer can’t distribute child porn and declare it an official act.
