LIGHTNING BOLT! LIGHTNING BOLT!

But I am le tired

I’ll be careful

No, UDIMM!

Whole time reading this all I could think was “you just made a Brujah”, glad others were on same page

Speak for yourself, my neighbors can look away

Enshittification and planned obsolescence are absolutely different things from this, though they all do make products worse.

The phenomenon of major producers of media “playing it safe” and taking options meant to please the mass, general public at the expense of catering to fans, and in turn making milquetoast products that no one is really happy about definitely happens in other forms of media, and did not originate with nerd culture. Movies and specifically Hollywood has been doing it for a while, “Best Seller” listed books are guilty of it, and it’s pretty much genre agnostic. It’s a result of producers being unwilling to take risks, and the more money being pumped into something, generally the worse it gets.

Oh yeah, reckless endangerment would definitely be appropriate, though if there were other teachers or staff reasonably close I could see it being contested.

Also, I absolutely do not condone being drunk at work as a teacher.

Yeah, whether or not they are fired, because it is certainly unprofessional behavior, it isnt criminal. Unless you count that they were somehow putting the children in direct danger, but that probably isn’t the case for a geography or math teacher. Drunk woodshop teacher, maybe?

Just document, document, document. Cover your own ass. If they don’t get back to you through teams or email, document that you asked for time they are available for you to assist but never heard back. If you do decided to go walk to their desk and they are either unavailable or working from home, document that you attempted. This way it becomes their problem or their manager’s problem if they complain about it.

Yes. Assault is a legal term. Even if it is on video, if there is an open case in court about this incident they need to phrase it that way. The quotation marks aren’t scare quotes, this is part of what the family’s attorney, Jordan Vahdat, said. Probably deconstructed from a sentence like “and we are seeking to file for assault charges against the formerly trusted coach”, because trusted coach was also in quotes.

The assault absolutely took place, and the article never infers that it didn’t.

Yeah, not sure if we read the same article. It definitely uses media safe terms like allegedly, but only on actions that would be legal definitions of crimes. After that it refers to it as “the incident” (and not as “the alleged incident”). They never hedge around whether the attack happened, and the rest of the article even strongly takes the side of the family. I see nothing that makes it seem like the news agency likes or is siding with the ex-coach.

I guess maybe taking all of the “allegedly” and “appears to” at face value you could get the impression of them being dodgy, but it’s just how they have to report it until facts are discovered in a trial. Actually, they even later quote the family’s attorney calling it a “horrific assault and battery”, no “allegedly” in sight, because it was a quote referencing what was being investigated.

They never said that there aren’t trans vegans, they said that they have witnessed a subset of vegans spouting transphobia online with claims from those same vegans that hormone therapies weren’t vegan. They did not make a claim one way or the other about it themself.

So I understand the first one, if you don’t want an app open handling them. I still usually just open email or calendars when I want to check them, and close the tab again after, but also don’t have a job that requires me to constantly monitor them.

The second point I guess I do as well in short term, but more whatever I am actively, currently try working on. I’ve never needed a long term organization for that, though, since it was always more like having several loose leaf papers spread on my desk and less like putting multiple bookmarks in a book and coming back to it over several hours or days. If there’s no need to use it in the next 20 minutes or so, I just bookmark and close it.

The third I just really don’t grok. Maybe I just really need a tidy browser workspace, but I usually have one, maybe two tabs open at a time when I’m not actively using them and referencing between them. I dont have any tabs that can be forgotten, because I close them immediately after I use them and no longer need them right now.

I guess it is no different than having bookmarks for everything, except I can hide those. I just hate the “look” of a bunch of tabs open (as a personal preference).

So genuine question, what are the benefits or reasons for having multiple tables open rather than saving as bookmarks or links? It just doesn’t make any sense to me but seems to be pretty common for people to do any more and I want to understand

Pretty sure that motherboard is only gen 3 pcie, so you aren’t getting full potential of your gpu. Bumping to a b520/b550 would help there.

16gb of ram is fine, but 32gb would likely work better with newer games.

I’d invest in a better power supply down the line. At least something gold+ is my usual recommendation.

CPU should be fine, even with the most modern games. Cooler is a beast. GPU is a little on the lower side of you’re looking at 1440 resolution, but should be golden for 1080.

The motherboard is by far the weakest point, and is likely holding back other parts of the build already.

What’s up with the random capitalization?

“Some young hooligan was banging on my door and I was terrified for my life! I think they were on drugs!”

Meanwhile, the Girl Scout trying to sell cookies walks away sadly.

I fail to see the equivalency between “murder a bunch of people” and “a bunch of people are no longer allowed in a luxury resort”.
