I had to fiddle with my own on my old laptop, I used one of the plethora of github scripts, but then they changed the api to limit access to (I think) about 100/min, so I just changed the delays to 1000ms so it would only delete 60/min.
Took two weeks, but I still haven’t seen any old content pop back up outside of archives and quotes from other comments in the thread.
I search for a couple random things I remember saying on ddg/bing/Google whenever I think about it, so far nothing.
As I’ve said before about certain countries, you know your platform is doing well when you (essentially) tell people “No, sorry, you can’t leave.”
I have a friend who works for a local, but widespread bank, and got to head up their digital security and IT stuff. Not sure what all it encompasses, but he quickly found out that it was a lot, and the previous guy quit because he had had enough bullshit.
Long story shorter, after a particularly bad week, he decided to just… Stop doing his job.
Kept all their legal stuff and sensitive info under lock and key, but the smaller stuff, he just let it go. Went on vacation, turned everything off, didn’t do everything for a temporary replacement (which isn’t even his job, it’s hr’s) and spent a week playing video games and spending time with his wife and baby.
Several employees just in his building basically ended up doing nothing by the end of the first day because they had locked themselves out of the system.
By day 3 there were several lines that couldn’t be used by the tellers in every branch, older employees were bricking their systems so fast, construction workers started taking notes.
By the end of the week they had people showing up at his door to try and contact him since nobody could get ahold of him. Some legit thought he was dead.
His first words when he got into the office on Monday, we’re “THAT is why you pay me.”
And after that, he was given 3 people to help out (he had been asking for 4) and they had a company come in and redo a lot of the computer systems that year.
Still works for the bank, still has a team although I think they’re bigger now since they’ve opened a few more branches, and still tells that story at every gathering after his one single beer gets him tipsy.
Is it just me, or do programmers only come in “lightweight” and “Rivals Þor in trying to drink the oceans dry” varieties?
I went to a celtic festival earlier today and there was a (male presenting) person in a dress you would expect to see on a docudrama about Jack the Ripper.
Inside this lady of the evening dress was the hariest person I have ever seen in a dress. Take that dark dense patch in the center of rikers chest, put that all over the exposed breast area, the upper back, arms, huge beard, very dense hairy legs. And all of it fiery orange.
That might be approaching “too much” territory, but I gotta say, what we have seen on star trek so far has been alopecia by comparison.
My favorite part is all the inside jokes they pack in as well. You don’t really get all of them as a viewer, but I’ve watched every episode with commentary, and a lot of interviews with a lot of the directors, producers, prop/costume/sfx people.
Nothing beats the “special effects coordinator” guy screaming BIGGER at everyone after they show him progressively larger explosive effects.
I love that every Sci fi show eventually does the “out of phase” episode, and I love seeing the fun twists and flavorings they use to make it “their” version.
Like Stargate sg1 and their crystal skull radiation and advanced dimension-shifting technology episodes.
And my personal favorite lampshading for this is actually from Stargate. in the in-universe parody show “Wormhole X-treme” one of the main character parodies asks “if I’m out of phase, why don’t I fall through the floor?” and the response from the writer/director/producer/whatever he was, was something along the lines of “I’ll have to get back to you on that”
The people who blabber incessantly about weed being a gateway drug are the exact REASON that I agree with them, but we VERY much disagree on the specifics.
Think of it this way:
Every adult in your life has told you that weed is JUST AS BAD as heroin and cocain and meth. You hear it repeated ad nauseum, ESPECIALLY if you were in DARE.
Now one day someone you have known for a long time offers you some because “it’s not that bad, trust me you’ll be fine” and they go ahead and take a puff or twelve. Turns out it’s not that bad. They were fine after some initial uncoordinated attempts at doing something.
So if weed is this interesting, maybe heroin isn’t that bad either?
Yeah turns out heroin IS that bad, and lumping it in with weed is like tossing the kindergarten bully into a maxsec prison.
So yeah, it’s only a “gAtEwAy dRuG” because you fucks lied for decades and made false equivalence of things and taught kids they can’t trust you.
More like 12-14 hours, and with the experience I had I was able to build most in about 6-7 minutes.
There’s downsides to speed building like that, because whoever has to inspect it when it gets sold has to spend a lot longer fixing minor problems.
If I were building at my own store, each bike took about 20 minutes because I made sure everything was as close to “ready to ride” as possible.
Nowadays I bulk build for many companies. They don’t give a shit about quality but I spent years making sure my bikes were perfect, so I still like to make them good to ride out the door.
my quickest bike was one particularly well put together model. 3 minutes per bike and it was good enough that I’d ride one without tools to the nearest store a few miles away.
My anecdote isn’t quite the same since it deals with something a lot simpler, and lower stakes than stuff like this.
used to assemble bicycles for a sporting goods chain, and had to travel to a nearby city to build theirs because nobody there knew how. I had two days to get 300 done.
I got there and start, and about two hours in the store manager comes over and tells me he’s pulling 2 of their operations employees to help and learn how to build. “they’re the strongest guys we have so they should have no problem tossing these bikes around”
I straight up told him I have no time at all to train them on how to build and do the safety inspections correctly, not to mention the fact that I will still have to personally inspect every single one they put together anyway, so if they want to give me help I’ll take it but they’re on trash duty. Remove all the packaging, put the bike next to my work area, toss the trash. I will build. If there’s extra time at the end I will be happy to instruct everyone in the store how it’s done. Or even put me on the schedule for next week to do it.
Dude got pissy and wanted me to train people first, so I just called the district manager while he was talking and had him tell the guy to do what I said because I’m here at corporates request and if I don’t get the bikes finished in time then “it will look bad on your store’s next visit if the bikes are still boxed up”
In the end I got all of them done with about 3 hours to spare, so I spent the rest of the time teaching a couple people how to do it.
Wait, people are complaining about manor lords already? So far I like it and haven’t come across anything bothersome yet. I haven’t played a ton, but I’m getting a good village going.
If anyone thinks hiring 50 people will get them an update in a week, they’ve never worked on a group project at all, let along a comolicated one. They’ve been working on it for what, 5 years now? And it’s just gotten what is essentially a beta buukd?
These people need to chill out and let a good game slowly unfold, not take a promising start and try to speed run into the trash can.
Luckily the devs are a lot smarter than the average 11 year old.
