mossy trail
#

Does zoom have any advantages at all

#

Comparing to discord I mean

zenith olive
#

no

#

Its worse than discord

sharp grail
#

the advantage you dont want your class or workmates to know your discord account i guess

#

but i suppose you can make a separate one

#

ive never used zoom

mossy trail
zenith olive
#

i used zoom for a year for classes and then later for therapy if you dont have a stable wifi connection it will not work

rugged perch
#

zoom is for formal purposes

#

discord is for fun

sharp grail
#

i know that discord has tried to branch out outside of gaming to classes and such but i dont know how well it actually worked

zenith olive
#

yea

sharp grail
#

especially since it locks so many of its important features in nitro

#

like uploads and video quality

I'm trying to imagine having to explain discord culture to most of my colleagues and.... kek it would be hella confusing for them

mossy trail
#

"Formal" people on their way to use the most outdated and uncomfortable ways to do anything for "formal" reasons

sharp grail
#

i have had to explain it a lot of times lol but it does tend to be confusing

zenith olive
#

discord isjust kinda confusing

#

Well it used to be iirc

#

also quiiick question does anyone know how to quit a job?

mossy trail
zenith olive
#

Ah

mossy trail
#

Idk

zenith olive
#

Im just super fed up with tjis job

rugged perch
mossy trail
#

Is a notice period legally required

rugged perch
#

depends on the country, i suppose

forest basalt
#

no, but putting in notice is "respectful"

mossy trail
#

If possible, probably without a notice period is preferable, so that they don't have time to make your life less pleasant

forest basalt
#

you dont want to be the person who just walks out of every job

#

its to know you're dependable and stuff like that

dusty rover
#

what sort of job is it? is it one where you wouldn't want to burn your bridges?

mossy trail
mossy trail
forest basalt
#

yeah

forest basalt

# forest basalt yeah

How
If they're not in one company do they have like employer forums with dossiers of people

rugged perch
#

they call

#

they ask for reference letters

#

they check for activity on social media

#

etc

forest basalt
#

yeah

rugged perch
#

and if you change jobs within the same sphere/industry, it's even easier for them to get a dossier on your past jobs

mossy trail
#

Dystopia moment

rugged perch
#

well, not so much

mossy trail
#

So much

forest basalt
#

not really

rugged perch
#

just logic

dusty rover
#

it makes sense to an extent. there's no better way of checking how reliable you are

rugged perch
#

it's far from being the best system though

#

i personally hate it

#

but i understand it

mossy trail
#

Not always acting in other people's interest shouldn't be punished

rugged perch
#

yeah but also if you kick down someone's door, shout "i quit" and leave dramatically, then you're certainly not someone future employers would like to hire

#

even if you quit because your current employer was a complete slavedriver, for example

forest basalt
rugged perch
#

burning bridges isn't the best choice of action in most cases

mossy trail
rugged perch
#

it's almost the same as kicking the door in

mossy trail
#

In what way

rugged perch
#

ideally you'd want to leave in an amicable way, if possible

mossy trail
#

Leaving a resignation letter and disappearing is pretty amicable

rugged perch
# mossy trail In what way

in the way that if you leave on the very same day without a warning, your employer will have to scramble to fill up your role and fix whatever schedules you didn't give them time to fix. you are also possibly scr*wing over your former colleagues, so you're straining your relationship with them too

#

(never sure which words are forbidden by the censorship bot...)

#

which is why the better thing to do is to give your notice some weeks in advance

mossy trail
rugged perch
#

well... from my point of view that's less important

mossy trail
#

You did say just minutes earlier more amicable is better though

rugged perch
#

yes, you took it very literally

#

i meant leaving in a way that doesn't jeopardize your future opportunities

mossy trail
rugged perch
#

leaving quietly but still without prior notice is still very much jeopardizing your future opportunities more than if you do it properly

#

well, really depends on the field, i guess, but i think it's the general rule for most cases

mossy trail
rugged perch
#

wait till you hear that some places require several months of notice TrantSmirk

mossy trail
rugged perch
#

not a paradox there at all

#

and also think about it less in anger and more in logic. leaving a team to have to fill in your role suddenly can be quite disruptive for a project. and people don't always quit because they're mad. so saying "hey, i'm about to leave" gives the team leader(s) time to find a replacement for you

stoic kayak
# zenith olive also quiiick question does anyone know how to quit a job?

jeez, I had a bunch typed out and the bot yelled at me for my language. I tried to not have anything bad, don't even know what I said. now I'll have to curse like in sparking Xenoblade 3. BUT ANYWAY, that's a couple variables, I'd say. if this is your career or you like/know the people, two weeks notice is good. if this is just a random job for the time being and they're really bad to work for, eh, bail if you need to. if you need an income to survive tho make sure you have something lined up cause unemployment won't like just quitting (without an extreme reason for leaving)

rugged perch
#

good points

stoic kayak
# rugged perch good points

thanks, unfortunately I've been through this a bit lol I'll also add to not get fired from the job even if you hate it. I had one I hated and was late a bunch and didn't care and was eventually fired. it'll be on your record and eeevery interviewer is going to bring it up and ask you about it. definitely avoid getting fired at all costs lol

rugged perch
#

depending on the situation, being let go can have benefits though, severance pay and such. but idk if it counts as the same as fired, prolly not.

#

i mean i know it doesn't, just not sure about the linguistic specifics in English

grave sand
#

also you should definitely seek advice from people in your own country as this stuff will vary wildly between them

rugged perch
#

as i said in the beginning, it depends on the country

#

and then also on the field and the company

#

the letter of resignation and a couple of weeks of notice is just general advice

like thats something you read about in history and it actually happened and it feels so normal

I don't know what you're going to finish with but almost certainly yes

serene tulip
fast marlin
#

being in school at the time of the pandemic is such a weird experience, i guess every generation had at least one horrible tragic historical event

#

weird to think about though

fast marlin
#

also remember when we all randomly shifted from saying corona to saying covid that was weird

fickle sentinel
#

Yes, very

#

The first month or so, everyone called it Corona, or ‘Rona, then it switched to COVID and everyone just went with it

#

Not sure how or why that happened

dusty rover
#

it’s because it was known as “the novel coronavirus” until they gave it an official name

#

those were surreal times. i was one of those dupes who thought it would last only two weeks

fast marlin
#

lol uh when it was announced i was in california and i ended up stuck there

#

for a while

#

flies into cali, “okay one week operation get surgery get out”, the day after i get there “there is a global pandemic and you are not allowed to get ‘unnecessary’ surgery or get on planes”

sharp grail
fast marlin
#

right?

dusty rover
#

i didn’t fully realize it had hit my city until i went to the grocery store and saw that employees were wiping down surfaces and all the toilet paper was sold out

#

it’s almost strange how…normal things seem now in comparison? except not quite

forest basalt
#

if thats not comedy idk what is

#

but yeah i never realized how much the pandemic would effect me even if i never actually got covid

serene tulip
fast marlin
#

also confirmed these cookies slap when theyre cold as well
might even be better bc the lemon curd firmed a bit

sharp grail
#

people keep downplaying nowadays how bad covid is with "its just a cold/flu" but after i got it i had a seizure (and another one not that long after), which never happened to me after any cold or flu LOL

#

Bruhh why is the last info on quantity of the special riot police/gendarmerie/counter terrorist branch of national guard of my city is literally from 2003 😭

#

On wikipedia I mean but idk where else to look tbh

muted smelt
#

are you looking for vulnerabilities

mossy trail
#

Well quantity probably won't be a vulnerability

#

It's unlikely it shrunk from 2003 more like it grown a lot and it was 1150 in 2003 sooo that's a lot and vehicles they had in 2003 and probably now are armored and only vulnerable to probably only very high caliber and like there's also SWAT analogue and the not special units of national guard so nah I'm just interested in information I don't really have a use for it at least currently

muted smelt
#

they expanded to stop the riots

mossy trail
#

Ayo what was in my message that triggered the bot

#

Anyway I was saying that the only way to have an actual riot is to gather like 100k people which is hard but possible or teaming up with finland border guard or something idk

#

Russia didn't have a large non peaceful protest since like 1991 I think

#

A peaceful reaction of riot police to a protest probably didn't happen once tho

muted smelt
#

are there antiwar protests in like last few years?

mossy trail
#

Yes

muted smelt
#

#

I think I had an live updating source on arrest figures but can't find it yet

#

I got banned from a subreddit that didn't allow political content or something for posting riot police guarding a protest location lol

#

There are repetitions for 9th may parade right outside my window(well they're moving to the square and the road to there is right under my window the actual square is mostly behind a building and about 100 meters away)
Some special regiment drummer or something dropped a sick beat just now but either walked by already or got shut down idk and all other drummers just do the boring march beat which is annoying
They seemed to get everyone to the square tho so for now gonna be quieter

Like one version is brown beige orange in that order with very basic shades that just don't work and other is bit light blue light green bit light orange in that order which is self explanatory

I think I got it a while ago because I had all the symptoms

but seizures is pretty bad

faint panther
#

they probably just let them go afterwards

#

in france theres huge protests right now and the police are being firebombed so it can always be worse

faint panther
#

depends on how big your city is

#

make an estimate based on population

#

before it was xx of the population now its 1.5x plus the population growth factor

#

that would be a reasonable estimate

mossy trail
mossy trail
#

But it's probably not a right estimate

#

Because the domestic policy really changed from 2003

#

2003 is when putin is on his first term and he gradually over the years made the country more authoritarian, more censorship, more control, stuff like that, so probably the riot police units and alike grew with it

mossy trail

#

Also funny how apparently national guard has more personnel than the regular ground army

#

The earliest numbers on the personnel of the predecessor of national guard is 2011 and national guard currently is twice that

#

Also I just checked and by updated statistics the population of my city actually passed the population of finland already so I can say that my city has population more than finland lol

this is what i know anyway:
so WGA (writers guild of america) tried to debate new contracts for around 6 weeks to get paid better since streaming services being a thing was both paying them awfully and ruining their working conditions. due to the nature of streaming, their residuals are much less, basically
theres also issues with the concepts of AI writing, and they wanted to put up regulations against that, studios disagree

tldr they want better pay since streaming messed everything up, and to put regulations in place to protect their careers

The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide's been
reinforced. And the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision.
The sight system is original, too. The thumb safety is extended to make it
easier on the finger. A long-type trigger with non-slip grooves. A ring
hammer... The base of the trigger guard's been filed down for a higher grip.
And not only that, nearly every part of this gun has been expertly crafted and
customized.

while the effects are probably negligable I'd put engraving as a net negative(discounting morale boost) simply because it increases the surface area of the part increasing stress concentrations and oxidation

They should put seeds in bullets

narrow parcel

Actually, how about we put seeds in Nuclear Bombs? That way we create an environment when we set them off instead of destroying them?

serene tulip
#

if black boxes are so indestructable why don't they make the entire plane like that?

narrow parcel
#

Only the realest questions.

serene tulip
#

making an enclosure that would have the seed survive the bullet and/or nuke would provide fun shrapnel, but then you'd also have to make it so that the seed could get out

#

actually, thinking about it, the x-ray bombardment that the nuke would put out would make it really hard for anything to survive

#

you'd need more shielding for the seed than bomb

mossy trail
#

We need fleets of dozens of An-225 carpet bombing everything with seeds

#

Hmm, An-225 has the largest payload but probably there are more cost efficient alternatives

#

Or maybe even electric prop bombers

#

For extra green

serene tulip
#

logistically seed bombing of that scale wont really amount to a whole lot, because the soil ecosystem needs to exist in order for the seeds to thrive

muted smelt
#

Gonna need to double up the rate we dig up fuel first for all this flying missions

serene tulip
#

just replace all the AN-225 engines with hydrogen burning ones and use renewable powered electrolysis to split the fuel

muted smelt
#

Okay lets make a startup

mossy trail
#

I mean like a B-29 probably could be modified to use electricity

#

That's just easier and cheaper tbh

serene tulip
#

battery power density is still too low for good airplane propulsion

#

hydrogen oxygen on the other hand, c01chefkiss

mossy trail
#

20 B-29 can carry as much weight as An-225 but cost like 25 times cheaper

#

What if we make a bigger plane

#

Than an-225

serene tulip
#

I vote for the stratolaunch

#

hypothetically it can hold a 250000kg payload

#

it isn't designed for particularly long trips, though, so some of that payload could be repurposed for additional fuel

#

and still make it over twice as much as the B-29

#

(the C-5 galaxy is 127000kg payload)

mossy trail
#

Stratolaunch is probably designed with some speed in mind

#

We don't need speed

serene tulip
#

it doesn't matter, though, its still the heaviest lift aircraft, I think

muted smelt
#

Build the spacelift first. Then build a seed gun satellite

mossy trail
# mossy trail We don't need speed

So the engines could be redesigned with prolonged flight rather than speed and the airframe is better be like a planer idk I forgot what it's called in english like floater or something

mossy trail

Odds are pretty high we wont see much bigger

diminishing returns on energy
