Yeah, I have to wrap up what I'm working on so that I can be available for the "quick meeting" which usually means I'm doing nothing for 15-20 minutes as I can't get started on anything else. If I'm caught not doing well, I get in trouble for the productivity, so I have to pretend.
When the 5-10 minute meeting runs closer to 45, I'm out an hour I could have been working.
Not the end of the world, but when we have these at least once, if not twice a day...
There's an road with an intersection exactly like this that I commute to work on everyday, with the only difference being that it has a 35 mph limit.
Upon reflection though, when I have been in the leftmost car's position, I have never ever turned left onto the three lane road. Still though, this road is not usually busy and you can easily see over the road division.
I have seen people floor it just barely in front of me when they turn to the left though, but that's just because they're impatient, not because someone waved them on.
I don't think he was joking. Yoshi-P probably wants to play it just as much as anyone else.
If I recall correctly, they had a Live Letter (scheduled FFXIV livestream with him and a few others) right after Tears of the King came out and he had his Switch with him when they were still setting up.
I'm literally in the middle of performing an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate physical contact at my work. If half of my co-workers or employees were hitting or slapping or groping each other, they'd all be fired. I can't imagine working at a place where anything like this would be tolerated.
I don't keep my employees phone numbers as contacts on my phone and only use our landline to contact them.
I do this to create a barrier that prevents me from calling or texting my employees as the first step to solving a problem or getting information.
Additionally, it allows me to take actual time away from work and not be giving out instructions via text every few minutes when I'm home. Any issues that arise can (usually) be handled by my subordinates, and if they can't, then they can contact be as they have my number.
I really don't like bothering my employees when they're off in any fashion. I plan out my staffing every week, four weeks out. I never really thought about it until one of my newer hires told me his last employer only made schedules for his staff a week at a time, and when the week ended, he didn't know what time he would work the next day (or at all).
It blew my mind.
If you're paying for it, then you could argue that you aren't "stealing" it. How are you (or at least the average person) suppose to know that the steaming service you used got their content illegally? This way, all of the liability falls on the streamer rather than the consumer.
Scan a barcode next to the hole, insert bolt, wrench applies correct force for the piece.
The why not just have the barcode have all of that information encoded in it and not reference a database on a network?
Does this mean that he's been secretly responsible for some/all school shootings, is addicted to doing them, and is asking for an intervention to help him stop and get into rehab?
I spent 99% of my time on Reddit through Sync. When they decided to restrict API use, which killed third-party apps, I decided I was done. If the Sync dev didn't switch over to making a Lemmy app, I probably never would have heard about it. I've only gone to Reddit a handful of times since, and that's only because I was searching for something and a Google search took me to a Reddit thread.
If you're a digital artist or someone looking to get into digital art, an IPad Air with an Apple Pencil is the cheapest entry-point that doesn't require a computer and doesn't absolutely suck.
I agree for the most part. However, due to how Steam only lets its users review games in a binary manner of good or bad, and how prominent Overwatch 2 is (major publisher, highly advertised), I think this is a case where it is warranted.
It's easy to assume that everyone has the same level of interest and enthusiasm in the game's industry to follow all of the shitty practices, both in terms of development and just in general, that Blizzard has demonstrated over the years, but people like us are not the target audience for their ads and we aren't the people they're trying to get to play OW2.
Most people who fire up Steam don't know who Blitzchung is. They haven't heard about the whole breast milk thing, or about the bathroom camera thing. On top of that, they haven't looked into anything about OW2, so they won't know about how the game was only developed to move the previous entry's player base into the new fleecing "free"-to-play model. They won't know about the promised, yet cut content. They'll just see the banner ad and click on it to check to see what the game is all about. Seeing an immediate overwhelmingly negative review is going to make them pause and then check out the comments to see what's going on.
And also this is really the only way Gamers have to let their voices be heard against gaming companies like this. The statement of vote with your wallet doesn't work with a free-to-play title like this. It also doesn't matter, because whales are going to play it anyway and that's where all of their money comes from. The overwhelmingly negative review at the very least could potentially prevent additional people from falling victim to their schemes.
I upgraded to the OLED model when it came out. The screen looks much nicer, has a faster refresh and longer battery life. I definitely recommend it over the original, but it is a steep price when you already have one that works fine.
