AFK BRB Chocolate

I had an assembly class in college. I didn’t love of at all. Got my first job after graduating and it was writing space shuttle engine control software, which was in assembly. I was kind of surprised at how fast it became natural after dealing with it full time. Still, it felt luxurious when we upgraded the controller and could do the software in C.

“Important to be” is the wrong language, but it’s absolutely fine if someone doesn’t find someone else attractive because of their height, color, or anything else. Attraction is subjective.

Attraction is subjective. There are norms, but everyone has their own preferences. Never listen to anyone who claims to speak for any giant group of people (gender, race, culture, whatever). Most women aren’t going to tell you that, but there are assholes in every group. If they’re speaking for themselves, that’s fine though: no one is obligated to disregard any of your attributes.

When I went bald, there were women who said bald guys aren’t attractive. But then there were some who said they were especially attractive, and most just didn’t care.

Yep, I looked them up just to see but, like you said, the fact that it exists doesn’t mean anything. I didn’t find anything (good or bad) associated with that phone number - could be spoofed.

Really? I wonder why. Though I’ve always assumed the one on my phone was from Verizon, not the app or the OS.

For sure don’t in any way respond, just report spam and block the number. Lots of these things are phishing attempts, trying to get you to give personal information (or even money), and aren’t connected to the things they mention.

What are you taking about, he didn’t bait anyone. You aren’t obligated to honor a quote from someone who isn’t in your company. If I said my son is a mechanic and he can put a new engine in your car for $50, you absolutely should not expect a $50 engine.

Yep, you get it. And it’s really hard to get people to understand the value in learning to do that stuff without the tools.

We do a lot of real-time control software, and just yesterday we were taking about how the newer folks are really good at using available tools and libraries, but they have less understanding of what’s happening underneath and they have problems when those tools don’t/can’t do what we need.

Apparently he wants everything written in COBOL

I’m old - there’s just so much that has and hasn’t happened…

I didn’t know what they were and had to look it up

The Bell Riots were an event that took place in San Francisco on Earth in September 2024. They led to the end of the Sanctuary Districts and marked the real beginning of Humans working to find a lasting solution that would resolve social problems. This would set humanity on the path to founding the United Federation of Planets.

Hey, the date is coming up.

One of the things I look for in employees is the ability to distill complex topics into the important elements and explain it to someone unfamiliar. Some people are just naturally good at it, and it’s a really important skill for moving up a leadership chain.

I made an edit - weird that their alert has a link.

That sucks. I made an edit.

See my edit - apparently I was wrong. My credit card companies never put a link on security alerts, and they’ve said they never will, so that customers know alerts with links are bogus. They always say to call the number on the card or login to your account, without providing a number or link. Discover must work differently.

Okay, I made an edit. Like I said there, the alerts I’ve gotten have never had links for the reasons you mentioned - they say things like “call the number on the back of your card.”

It is for sure phishing. Discover isn’t going to send you an email like that. Even loading the graphics was a bad idea.

Edit: apparently I stand corrected. I’ve gotten security alerts from my credit card companies before, but never with a link like that, and never saying something like “dark web.” Sorry to hear it

Your morning will be going worse if you click that link.

Looks like it was too close to the heating element/flame
